Notes

Wrath deals proc damage, and thus will not trigger spell effects.
Wrath's on-hit damage does not apply to structures.
The bonus damage dealt by Wrath benefits from life steal.
Seething Strike is not blocked by spell shield.
Attacks against structures will not grant, refresh, or affect the count of Phantom stacks.
- They will grant and refresh Seething Strike stacks.
The final Seething Strike stack will also grant a Phantom stack, meaning it takes 6 attacks to trigger Phantom Hit for the first time.
The Phantom Hit occurs a static delay after the basic attack was fired (independently of melee or ranged), and will occur even if the attack was destroyed (i.e. Wind Wall) or popped (i.e. untargetability).
The Phantom Hit from Seething Strike may generate stacks and trigger on abilities that applies on-attack effect.
Phantom Hit is considered a separate attack instance for the purpose of Muramana's Shock.
- On-hit effects, such as those from single-use empowered attacks, will not benefit from Phantom Hit and will apply their effect only once. This is due to the on-hit effect itself being consumed by the initial strike and unavailable for the second.
- Phantom Hit does not interact with on-attack effects.

		This article or section is outdated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information.

The following on-hit effects will apply an additional time from Phantom Hit:

Stack generation (grants an additional stack)

Bonus damage (applies damage twice)

Healing (triggers heal twice)

Cooldown reduction (cooldown is reduced twice)

Fury generation (grants twice as much Fury)

Other

Illaoi's Harsh Lesson (commands Tentacles to attack without consuming the empowered attack)
Lee Sin's Flurry (energy return doubled while only consuming 1 stack of Flurry)
Shaco's Hallucinate (clone attacks)
Hearthbound Axe (bonus movement speed)
Stridebreaker (Heroic Gait's bonus movement speed)
Trinity Force (Threefold Strike's bonus movement speed)
Wit's End (Bonus movement speed)

On being hit (being hit by Phantom Hit)

Amumu's Tantrum (reducing his cooldowns)
Braum's Concussive Blows (stack application)
Jax's Counter Strike (damage generation)
Rammus' Defensive Ball Curl (reflect damage)
Bramble Vest (reflect damage)
Thornmail (reflect damage)

The following do not interact with Phantom Hit:

Akshan's Dirty Fighting (stack application during Heroic Swing)^(bug)
Aurora's Spirit Abjuration (stack generation)
Jax's Relentless Assault
Jinx's Pow-Pow (stack generation) and Fishbones (10% bonus damage and splash damage)
Tryndamere's Spinning Slash
Mordekaiser's Darkness Rise (stack generation for the aura effect)

Phantom Hit does not cause you to attack twice. Effects that trigger on completing the attack windup will only trigger once and thus do not interact with Phantom Hit. The following list includes those effects:

Ashe's Ranger's Focus (stack generation and empowered active)
Bard's Meeps
Cho'Gath's Vorpal Spikes
Darius' Hemorrhage
Kennen's Electrical Surge
Lulu's Pix
Jayce's Hyper Charge (stack decrement)
Nami's Tidecaller's Blessing
Rek'Sai's Queen's Wrath
Sivir's Ricochet
Sylas' Petricite Burst (stack decrement)
Xin Zhao's Three Talon Strike (bonus damage and knockup)
Yone's Way of the Hunter (bonus damage)
Guinsoo's Rageblade (stack generation)
Runaan's Hurricane (minor bolts)

Trivia

Guinsoo's Rageblade is named after Steve 'Guinsoo' Feak, one of the main creative minds behind League of Legends and creator of Defense of the Ancients: Allstars.
- According to Feak, Guinsoo's Rageblade was created with Corki in mind.^[1]
- It has a similar icon to the Defense of the Ancients: Allstars item Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse, also named after Feak.
Guinsoo's Rageblade was one of the last items released before the launch of League of Legends itself.
There once existed a bug that enabled Sion to attain negative ability power and 2.5 attack speed with Guinsoo's Rageblade alone.^[2]
The design is mostly similar to Kratos' blades (God of War franchise), both the Blades of Chaos and the Blades of Exile.
