Notes

• Unlike Reversal of Damage, when the 50% chance property triggers, the damage inflicted to the target of the foe hexed with Calculated Risk is always reduced to 0 even when the damage inflicted was more than the stated maximum.
• Only attacks that hit can trigger this hex's effects; effects that cause miss or block will result in fewer attacks backfiring.

Trivia

• The Mesmer in the skill icon is wearing Canthan armor.
