Reprisal is a spell available exclusively to Paladins. While in effect, it gives a special status effect with the same name, Reprisal, and greatly increase the chance that the Paladin will block with their shield. In addition, one third of the damage they take from a successful shield block, since shields only reduce damage by a certain percentage, will be reflected back onto the attacker.
Final Fantasy XIV[]
Reprisal is a level 22 role action for tanks that reduces damage dealt by all enemies around the user by 10%. The level 98 trait Enchanced Reprisal increases the reduction to 15%.
Prior to Stormblood, Reprisal was a Dark Knight-exclusive ability that dealt damage in addition to its current effect, but could only be used against a single target, and only after parrying an attack.
