Details

• The ability triggers upon reaching the attack point, not upon landing an attack.
  • This means the ability can trigger on missed attacks.
  • For ranged heroes, this is upon projectile launch.
  • However, the attack must land on the target in order to apply the splash damage.
  • Does not rigger when attacking the following units:
    • Allied units
    • Buildings
  • Triggers upon attacking ward-type units, but does it neither applies the attack damage bonus, nor the splash damage.

• The bonus damage is considered as a conditional attack damage bonus and is magical damage.
  • Although the attack damage bonus values are not displayed in the HUD, it is still considered and directly added to the unit's attack damage.
  • It is not considered by lifesteal, crit or cleave.
  • It can be reduced only by flat reductions (e.g. magical damage barrier).
  • Since it is considered bonus attack damage, it is not affected by percentage-based attack damage bonuses or reductions.

• The splash damage is applied as spell damage, with the damage type based on the attack damage source.
  • The physical portion is splashed as physical damage, the magical portion is splashed as magical damage.
  • It is fully affected by incoming and outgoing spell damage manipulation and works with spell lifesteal.
  • The splash damage is not affected by Damage Block.
  • The splash damage does not affect the following units:
    • The primary target.
    • Buildings
    • Ward-type units.
