Description
Passive: Basic attacks 
on-hit against enemy 
champions apply a stack for 4 seconds, refreshing on subsequent applications, expiring upon attacking a new champion, and stacking up to 3 times. The third stack consumes all stacks to deal 40 – 160 (based on level) bonus 
adaptive damage and grant you 8% increased damage against champions until you are no longer in combat with them.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- Application is individually tracked and does not interact among multiple users.
- Effects that allow the application of on-hit effects multiple times in one issued attack (e.g.
Lightslinger, 
Ruthless Predator, 
Twin Bite, 
Guinsoo's Rageblade) will also apply additional stacks of Press the Attack. - The basic attack that triggers Press the Attack's third stack does not benefit from the increased damage.
- Press the Attack's adaptive damage is not applied as an on-hit effect and is not affected by on-hit penalties.
- 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). - Damage dealt on the same frame that the buff is gained will not be amplified.
- The triggering Press the Attack proc does not benefit from the increased damage but future procs that occur while affected by the damage buff will.
- However, any damage over time or follow-up effects that come with the basic attack will be affected (e.g.

On-hit effect
basic damage, or generally upon a basic attack or certain attack-like ability hitting a target. Most on-hit effects deal 
proc damage or 
default damage, which are non-reactive (= the effects don't trigger more effects).
Critical strikes are not on-hit effects. An ability listed as applying on-hit effects cannot critically strike unless otherwise stated.
Life steal is not an on-hit effect. Damage from on-hit effects normally does not apply life steal, unless those effects deal basic damage or are special-cased to benefit from life steal.
The ability counterpart to on-hit effects are ability effects, which apply on instances of ability damage.
ChampionChampions are the player-controlled characters in League of Legends. Each champion possesses unique abilities and attributes.
Adaptive damageAdaptive 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.
