Notes
- The effect occurs a static delay after the basic attack was fired (independently of melee or ranged), and will occur even if the attack was blocked (i.e Wind Wall) or it vanished (i.e untargetability).
- The effects occur on basic attack and do not interact with abilities that act like a basic attack (i.e Steel Tempest, Parrrley).
- Additionally, effects that cause you to attack more than once (i.e. Double Strike, Lightslinger) will only be counted once, you cannot increase the frequency that Phantom Hit will occur.
- Bolts generated by Runaan's Hurricane even when hitting 2 additional targets will still count only as 1 attack towards triggering Phantom Hit and will not grant additional Rage's stack.
- Additionally, effects that cause you to attack more than once (i.e.
- The attack that gets Guinsoo's Rageblade's stacks to 6 will benefit for the additional on-hit effect.
- One-use on-hit effects, such as Siphoning Strike and Sheen, remain one-use, as the on-hit effect will be consumed by the initial strike and be unavailable for the second.
- It is important to know the difference between an on-hit effect (which Phantom Hit will apply) and an on-attack effect (which Phantom Hit will not), these effects are listed below.

- The following are likely bugged and are not interacting with the item:
- Phantom Hit does not cause you to attack twice. Effects that trigger when you attack or whose counters increase when you attack will only apply once per attack, regardless of Phantom Hit. This affects abilities such as:
- Ashe's Ranger's Focus (stack generation and empowered active)
- Bard's Meeps
- Cho'Gath's Vorpal Spikes

- Guinsoo's Rageblade (stack generation)
- Runaan's Hurricane (minor bolts)
- Energized Strike's (stack generation)
-
- For effects such as Vi's Denting Blows, the game will pro-actively use the champion's empowered attack animation if the attack would trigger the effect due to Phantom Hit - e.g. Vi will perform her power animation on every 2nd attack (with Phantom Hit).
Strategy
- Guinsoo's Rageblade's unique combination of traits make it something of a niche item. It is best on basic attack-based champions who benefit from both attack damage and ability power and rely on on-hit effects for a major portion of their damage ( Jax, Varus and Kayle). For such a champion, however, it is recommended to build the item as soon as possible, as the power spike it creates is usually enormous.
- Master Yi in particular has a very good synergy with this item because of his passive Double Strike which allows him to apply an additional on-hit effect per attack without Guinsoo. With Guinsoo not only will he reduce the attacks to proc Double Strike but depending on the timing of his passive with Guinsoo he'll be procing on-hit effects:
- Twice on each basic attack.
- Thrice on each other basic attack.
- The Phantom hit will proc both Titanic Hydra and Ravenous Hydra essentially doubling the area of effect damage, however the Titanic Hydra is superior in this aspect as it also deals on-hit damage on the primary target.
