The way I see it, two words are a synonym (thanks for correcting me, english is not my first language) when they can both be used in certain sentence, not when they have the same definition, and I think that in this case you could say that Umbrella Leaf deflects projectiles, or that it blocks projectiles, both would be correct in my opinion.

 * I like this game.
 * I dislike this game.

Are "like" and "dislike" synonyms?
