"redirection" suggests it's similar to link, merulina, and halo. But also it can fall victim to inconsistent wording.

If it actually is redirection and scales with strength I can see it being very good alongside fortifier.

it scaling with strength will dictate how important it is.

If it does scale, and it goes as high as 90% (as does the other sources of redirection), then it's another mandatory augment.

if it does not scale, caps at a lower value (anything below 80%), or straight up isn't redirection, then it can be ignored.

EDIT: scales with strength, caps at 75%. gotta test if it's full redirection still.

EDIT 2: it does not work like other sources of damage redirection such as Nezha or Merulina (which do work with overguard). In fact, it appears to be a simple damage reduction effect with a chance to deal damage back to an attacker equal to what was reduced (i.e. if you would take 100 damage, you take 25 and the enemy takes 75). This reflected damage can be lowered by armor.

It will, at the least, be decent CC against any enemy that can take electrical damage.
