Press the Attack

Path	Precision
Slot	Keystone
Description
Passive: Basic attacks on-hit against enemy champions apply a stack for 4 seconds, stacking up to 3 times, with the duration refreshing upon applying the second stack. Attacking a new champion removes all stacks from the previous target. The third stack consumes all stacks to deal 40 − 180 (based on level) bonus Adaptive damage and render the target Exposed for 6 seconds, causing them to take 8% − 12% (based on level) increased damage (except true damage) from all subsequent sources.
Adaptive Damage: This effect deals either physical or magic damage depending on the damage contribution from your  attack damage and  ability power to the effect's damage formula. Greater bonus damage from the  AD ratio → Physical damage Greater bonus damage from the  AP ratio → Magic damage If the damage contribution of  AD and  AP are zero or otherwise equal, the damage type depends on the effect's particular default.
Cooldown	6 seconds

Notes

• An exposed target will also receive bonus damage from non-champions (including turrets).
• Application is individually tracked and does not interact among multiple users.
• Effects that let you apply more than one on-hit effect per attack will also apply additional stacks of Press the Attack (e.g. Lightslinger, Ruthless Predator, Twin Bite, Guinsoo's Rageblade).
• The attack that procs Press the Attack does not benefit from the increased damage.
  • However, any damage over time or follow-up effects that come with the basic attack will be affected (e.g. Hemorrhage, Toxic Shot and every follow-up Tentacle Slams).

Trivia

• Press the Attack behaves similarly to the removed Season 2016 mastery  Expose Weakness.

Patch History

V8.6

• Bug Fix: Now correctly plays its lock-in sound when selected.

V8.5

• Vulnerable bonus damage increased to 8% − 12% (based on level) from 4% − 12% (based on level).

V8.4

• Trigger damage increased to 40 − 180 (based on level) from 30 − 120 (based on level).
• Exposed damage reduced to 4% − 12% (based on level) from 12% at all levels.

V7.24

• Removed: The third attack and bonus damage no longer benefit from the Exposed effect.
• Bug Fix: Champions who run Press the Attack attacking an enemy who also runs Press the Attack will no longer have their stacks malfunction.

V7.22 Added

• Precision Keystone rune.
  • Passive: Basic attacks versus champions apply stacks. At 3 stacks, the target takes 30 − 120 (based on level) bonus  Adaptive damage and is Exposed, taking 12% increased damage from all sources for the next 6 seconds.
  • Basic attacks against a Exposed target do not apply stacks, nor can you apply stacks to another target while one is Exposed.
  • Adaptive: Deals either physical or magic depending on which would deal the most damage.
  • Expired after 3 seconds not hitting thus set the stack count to 0.
