Simple question - how does the shot reflection from the Kastelan interact with jink? For context - on a saving throw of a six, the target which fired upon the Kastelan suffers a hit of the strength and AP (along with all special rules) of the original shot as if it was fired upon by the Kastelan.

Follow-up - due to 7th ed. sequential firing rules for different profiles, do you elect to jink per deflected shot of profile? By which I mean: Falcon fires brightlance -> shot reflects -> jink declared -> further weapons snap fire.

The choice to jink is done by the controller of the targeted unit after the target has been selected, but before shots are fired. In this way, a deflected shot could not be jinked against, as it's part of the same shooting attack, and the unit shooting is not given the option to declare that they're jinking. It's the same reason that if a blast scatters from the targeted unit into a unit that can jink (say bikes), then those bikes cannot declare a jink as they were not the target of the shooting attack.

In the order you presented it would be:

Active Player (AP) declares that the Falcon is shooting at the Non Active Player's (NAP's) White Scars Bike Squad.
The NAP declares that his bikes are jinking.
The AP proceeds to choose which weapon(s) fires, and completes the shooting attack.

In most circumstances, this order will not matter (considering that they can choose which save to use when rolling for saves - jinking doesn't force them to use their cover save only), but if it does, this is how you do it.

No Jink as you were not targeted. The shot is just considered to have originated from the Kastelan for other purposes, such as determining cover saves or facing.

Righto, thanks gents.
