Sorry if I'm being stupid and I'm sure it's been asked before but I couldn't find it.
What does this description actually mean when on an item?
'100% of basic attack damage vs. enemies that attack in melee' means what?

It means that a character with that effect on them (via an item, probably a shield) will automatically counterattack any melee attacker that attacks them. That counterattack is comprised of 100% of that character's basic attack. It's invisible (there's no animation for it) so if you aren't monitoring the damage, you won't see it.
So, if Aveline has her special shield with that effect equipped, she'll do a basic counterattack to all enemies that come up in melee and hit her.

So if Aveline has her counterattack ability activated as well, does that mean she gets two counterattacks per incoming hit?

Thanks for the quick reply.
What about her critical chance? I presume it's 100% 'flat' without a crit chance?

That's a great question. I don't use Aveline at all except for her personal quests, so I haven't observed it.

I really don't know for sure. That's another great question that would require a test. You could turn the damage scroll on, wade her into some bad guys, watch the numbers fly by and look for crits.

Last I read, they do not stack, I have yet to confirm this personally though.

You can crit (can be wrong on this particular point, tested quite a long time ago, but read on), and it's also affected by other damage modifiers (100% verified: Cleave, Blood Frenzy). The property itself stacks (yes, you can have Wardwall + Ring of Minor Cantrips equipped and hit every attacker twice).
However, do not ever activate Sacrificial Frenzy with this property, unless you are suicidal

Aveline's Retaliation is terrible though. It locks her in place as she waits for enemies to attack her similar to how Stonewall works.

So you do 20 damage to yourself, then retaliate against yourself for it, then retaliate against yourself again for that retaliation, and on and on until dead?
Or is it just that your builds are so powerful that one retaliation against themselves is enough to knock them out?

My builds usually are very high damage/very low hp, so yes. It's a vicious one-hit KO.
