Titanic Hydra and WW's Ult. Interaction

zecastar··1 votes·975 views

Quick questions for WW mains who know this off the top of their head: Does the Hydra on-hit AoE apply 3x during his ult. too? I know the single target part works although I wonder if the on-hits are converted to magic damage like the ult. itself. Also, does TH's AoE apply Expose Weakness?

Finally, does he auto-attack during it at all or is it purely the damage from the wiki?

Thanks!

"Does the Hydra on-hit AoE apply 3x during his ult too?" Yes, it applies just like every other on-hit effects. No, the ult just straight up deals magic damage, it doesn't convert anything. Hydra isn't an ability, so it doesn't apply Expose Weakness (if I recall correctly). WW doesn't attack during ult, he deals damage by applying 9 ticks of damage and 3 on-hits, with only the ult damage itself healing him and not the on-hits.

Thanks for your answers. Hydra's just a bit weird to me since it has an AoE on-hit but I guess that makes sense. For stuff like this, Riot sometimes has weird rules where they aren't just what's written. Hell, I'm still surprised Corki can't use Runaan's bolts for his magic damage autos.

As far as Expose Weakness, the tooltip does NOT say it has to be an ability. However, I know it did at ONE point and that's why I'm not sure how it really works now.

Yeah, Expose Weakness specifically procs off of ability damage, far as I know.

On a related note, do you know if Q actually heals from on-hits as well? For example, would the 4% from Bloodrazor count as damage dealt in the context of its healing?

Sadly, I don't know, but then the practice tool could easily be used to test that, I reckon.

Not so. I've tested everything else but I need a human to test if EW works or not. I can't assign an allied bot to attack something. I also can't easily find if other procs/on-hits apply to ult. or Q healing. I have found through the practice tool that Hydra's AoE does apply through the ult. though.

Have you tried getting your health lower by standing in an enemy fountain for a bit and comparing health regained before/after getting an on-hit item?

Yes, it is applied 3 times and Warwick heals for all the damage it deals. No, it doesn't apply Expose Weakness. No, he does not auto attack during it but will likely auto attack his target immediately once the ultimate ends.

Are you saying Titanic's AoE applies EW or that his ult. does?

Also, are you suggesting that WW's ult. will heall off the on-hits too? I've seen reports both ways about this.

It doesn't.

It doesn't what? TH definitely works with his ult. for both the single and AoE on-hit.
