The specific feat referrenced (WW 20-22 or so, vol. 2) was not deflected by the Aegis effect (which didn't manifest until years later), but by actually coming in contact with the bracers, themselves ("...the touch of Amalthea's skin..."😉; the bracers, themselves, are right up there with Cap's shield, and similar, as among the most "indestructable" things in comics (indestructable, that is, until some writer/editor decides otherwise and wants drama...). That they are *also* able to channel "X" god-power/effect, in *addition* to their inherent durability, is why they likely hold the "Superior" rating over Cap's shield. Like I posted further up, however, for most day-to-day purposes, it doesn't really matter -- it's only when one get's to the nitty-gritty that it matters (for example: while a Thor-backed Mjolner was able to dent the shield, I don't believe a similar blow could do the same to the bracers... now, repeated, sustained blows? Backed by Thor's god-strength/power? Over time? Diana better pray, and pray hard...
