At which point it becomes a question of saturation. If a target's Watercaster "Laser Defense System" (LDS) is in operation a target's own anti-missile lasers can't be used and its own radar system (for traditional missile defenses) will be degraded at the same time making a huge radar target of its self (big spray of H2O = Not stealthy). Plus I doubt it will be able to fire its own SAMs while shooting a huge spray of water around it.

If its LDS goes up its time for the attacker to fire a missile or two, the target then either "Drops its shields" to shoot back and eats the laser or takes its vampires like a man.
