(Active): Sivir's next autoattack deals additional physical damage and bounces to 5 additional targets, dealing 20% less damage with each bounce. Only the first hit procs item effects.


Since this ability is a boost to the next autoattack, does it deal critical damage if my critical chance is 100%?

It states that the autoattack bounces to additional targets. The boomerangs can crit I believe, yes. However if you had frozen mallet or madred's bloodrazor, you wouldn't seen the effects on anyone but the first target.

I'm not 100% sure though, but the tooltip seems to read that way. If you wanted to make sure, you could always play a custom game against a bot, get 100% crit chance, and throw your boomerang at a minion wave.

It can still crit, as it is an auto attack.

The only things I'd need to verify is whether the bonus damage is added before or after critical damage is calculated and whether the bounces are based off of the crit damage or base damage.

The first hit is able to deal critical damage with the bonus damage taken into affect.
All proceeding bounces will deal damage as though the first hit was not a critical hit.

That was my assumption, but I didn't want to potentially bias anyone if that wasn't the case. Thanks for the affirmation!

Thanks! Even though only the first hit can crit, it's still a good ability and since it resets the autoattack time, it could be useful in some sort of burst, like Boomerang >> autoattack >> Ricochet.

^ don't forget to use it on towers to increase your DPS.

Reseting your attack timer will add a lot of damage to champions/towers/dragon/etc

When sivir was very popular for a little while, it was mostly because of her surprise burst at level 2 with the autoattack reset. It's still pretty potent if you have an aggressive support and you push the lane or get doublegolem on blue side to hit 2 before them, then immediately go for a kill.

I'd like to find out if her ult works on Zyra plants, since it's one of the few abilities that affects minions.
