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 bonus

Adaptive damage and render the target Exposed for 6 seconds, causing them to take increased damage (except

true damage) from all subsequent sources.

Adaptive Damage: Deals either physical or magic damage depending on your bonus statistics, defaulting based on the origin of the effect.

Higher Bonus AD → Physical damage
Higher AP → Magic damage

If the attack damage and the ability power of the unit are equal, the damage determined depends on the champion.

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).
The damage amplifier stacks multiplicatively with Abyssal Mask.

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.

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.
