Fox's Reflector, also known as a shine, creates a blue, hexagonal energy field around him to reflect any projectiles that are fired at him back in the direction they came. It can be used as a direct attack with an electric effect, doing 2%-5% damage and low set knockback. It sends opponents on a semi-spike trajectory. The move will also lower Fox's falling speed if used in midair. Fox can also perform an edgeguarding technique called a shine spike, which involves using the move offstage to gimp the opponent's recovery. Since the shine has set knockback and stun, combined with its semi-spike trajectory, it is an effective technique that can KO even at base percentages.
