A question regarding Ekko and Press The Attack

Barkley··1 votes·1,438 views

This is a question on the matter of timing and how abilities are coded...

Press the attack applies a damage amp on anyone you attack 3 times. Ekko's passive does bonus damage on a 3rd hit.

Which one procs first? The damage amplification, or the damage from the third strike? In other words... is the 3rd strike damage for ekko's passive amplified by Press The Attack? Or does it only apply to all subsequent damage?

Which is it...

Option 1:

Attack, attack, attack (damage amp from Press The Attack applied) (damage from 3rd strike ekko passive comes in, amplified by press the attack)

-or-

Attack, attack, attack (damage from ekko passive) (damage amplification applied)

Not sure, but I can say that no Ekko in his right mind would do it this way. Ekko's spells crank up his passive as well, so you would probably see "Q auto Q return (proc) E auto - Press the Attack"

I'm aware of this, but I thought it would be more practical to just write "attack" rather than specify which attack I'm talking about. I can see where you might assume I meant auto attack.

Nevermind. I'm an idiot. I thought Press The Attack worked off of any damage, not just auto attacks.

Forget I even said anything. Press the attack probably isn't good on ekko. I misread.
