Alpha Male: Overwrites ANY reflective buff?

As we all know, Alpha Male overwrites Bramble Guard, which in turn leaves the player unbuffed after its use. Which causes many a Veno to scramble over, and over and over again to keep the player that uses it buffed over and over again, especially in Rebirth.

Now. Here comes a tidbit you might not know, but is worth a heads up. Alpha Male also overwrites Bramble HOOD. Which means, any Venos who have the skill, and pop BH before AM are going to find themselves unbuffed, and with whatever mob they were hoping to pull attacking them with no damage reduction.

With the Psychics, however, I recently find myself questioning their Soul of Vengeance. Does anyone know if Alpha Male overwrites that? Since the spell doesn't specify which reflective capabilities it would affect, I've been wondering if this would also waste the Psychic buff as well. Thanks in advance for any info you can give.

    Some venos are quite capable of tanking and do so in the event that the other squad members are unable to at the time.

    The buff icon for Soul of Vengeance is different than that of Bramble Guard or Bramble Hood, so I'm pretty sure that it stacks with those. Whether or not it gets overwritten by Alpha Male, I can't say.

    Bit of a necro, and I'm sorry, but I finally got around to convincing a Psychic to buff me... Not as easy as it sounds, heh. The answer is no. Despite the various brambles disappearing, the Psychic buff remains.
