Even after 11 updates, we still haven't found a plant that can be called the counter for Wizard's spells. Same goes with the Jester. With all the projectiles he can throw back, there needs to be a plant that nullify them (or atleast some of them).

Here's an example of logic in PvZ2 (and there are so many of them): Jester's projectiles cannot hit an unarmed Potato Mine but can hit an armed one.

So either the Jester throws the projectiles real low (which cannot be possible from the perspective) after catching from the same height as thrown by palants that it hits a plant that low on the ground or the height change between an unarmed Potato Mine vs an armed one is 4 feet.

So, going by the above rule, Umbrella Leaf can totally absorb a spell (especially when it happens in real life).
