one question about Taliyah's (E) Unraveling Earth

The tooltip says her mines do damage twice, once on cast and once when their time runs out

but is the early explosion caused by dashing additional damage or is the second damage just halved because they detonated early

Unraveled Earth: Taliyah scatters 18 boulders over the ground in a cone before her, dealing magic damage to all enemies hit. The boulders then remain for 4 seconds, slowing all enemies within the area by 20% (+ 4% per 100 AP). At the end of their duration, all remaining boulders explode in another conic wave, dealing Unraveled Earth's initial damage once more. Enemies who dash over or are knocked through Unraveled Earth's boulders cause them to detonate instantly, each dealing them 50% of Unraveled Earth's initial damage, up to a maximum of 4 boulders per enemy.

Basically you use the E and it does damage to everything the wave hits. After 4 seconds, that same damage is applied to all enemies standing on top of active mines. HOWEVER, if the enemy dashes or is pushed through a mine, that individual mine explodes, dealing 50% of Unraveled Earth's initial damage. This can happen up to 4 times per enemy equaling a max of 200% of Unraveled Earth's initial damage.

So to sum it up: -Use E and they walk out (100% damage) -Use E and they get hit by both waves (200% damage) -Use E and they then dash or get pushed (150%/200%/250%/300% damage depending on how many mines they hit)

as i understand it it hurts once when you throw it down (although from what i have seen its more of a tickle) and once when it explodes. Champions take will take additional dammage if they dash through it but it takes the place of the second explosion. Did that make sense?

yes that was exactly what i was looking for

I just didnt know if it was 'replaced' or 'added to'

They explode upon timing out or getting dashed over. I think it does the same damage in either case, but I haven't checked to be certain.

i think they trigger the damage multiple times if they dash through it, for each mine they destroy. Dont take my word on that, i only played her for a couple of games on PBE.
