- If the triggering attack's windup is canceled, Hail of Blades will not grant the stacks and reset its availability, causing its visual effects to play the effect ready animation that also plays when the cooldown ends naturally.

Strategy[]

- gains an enormous attack damage boost with Hail of Blades, as converts the attack speed gained into AD. His triggering attack, however, is special cased to not benefit from Hail of Blades.
Trivia[]
