Xayah: Basic Attack/Empowered Basic Attack Cancellation Does Not Stop Animation.
When Xayah initiates a basic attack on a target, there is a quick animation of a feather dagger flying toward the target. Sometimes, if you cancel your basic attack with a move order (occurs when displaced or stunned too) at the very last instant, after the feather dagger is in flight, the dagger will not damage the target, as if you never threw a basic attack at all.
Regarding her empowered basic attack, the behavior is the same. If you cancel your basic attack at the last possible moment, the animation still occurs (as well as the high pitch sound indicating the attack was empowered). However, none of the targets in the line of the attack receive damage, and when the feather reaches its target location, it disappears instead of being left on the ground. (The stored feather count above the player is unchanged)
This is fairly easy to replicate:
- Basic attack a monster or champion.
- Initiate a move order at the very instant that the basic attack goes off
- Observe the projectile hit its mark, but does no damage.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. If anyone would like to try to replicate this an post it, I would be appreciative. I don't really know how to.
Sincerely,
