When activated while above ground, Spiked Carapace reflects and negates damage dealt to Nyx Assassin (max once from each source), as well as stunning the source of the damage. Activating Spiked Carapace will not break Vendetta invisibility. While Burrowed, Spiked Carapace instantly stuns nearby enemies when cast.

The damage is calculated after all reductions. Spiked Carapace will only trigger on damage from other player controlled units. The damage reflected will have the same damage type as it had when it was dealt to Nyx.
