    Basic attack

    "AA" redirects here. For the item, see Staff of the Archangel.

    Un basic attack (also called autoattack o AA) is the default means by which a unit deals damage. Champions use basic attacks when right-clicking on an enemy unit; basic attacks are also executed when a champion who is inactive is approached by an enemy unit, or when the "move attack" function is used (default Shift + right click). Champions will not automatically attack units within range if the "stop" command is used (by default, "S"). Monsters and minions perform basic attacks as their only method of dealing damage. The nature of these auto attacks is similar to that of champions, dealing damage based on the unit's Attack Damage (AD) and using an attack timer that is affected by Attack Speed ​​(AS).



    Summary

    auto attacking

    Using basic attacks can be disabled from the in-game menu so that a champion does not start attacking if not commanded.

    Behavior

    General

    Basic attacks cannot be dodged under normal circumstances. That is, once a basic attack has been launched from the attacker, it will not miss the target and will follow it despite its subsequent position changes. Certain abilities cause basic attacks to fail, either because they are dodged, blocked, negated, missed (Blind), or deflected.



    Champion

    When using a move attack, the champion will stay put to attack any hostile that comes between him and his target. If the champion has a target within range, he will continuously attack it with basic attacks. If that target moves away from the champion's range, the champion will pursue it until a new target is specified, or a cancel order is executed (by pressing the letter S or specifying another movement order), or lose sight of the target.

    Many champions also have abilities that affect their basic attacks in some way. Such abilities are treated as basic attacks and are said to apply on-hit effects.

    Minions

    Minions automatically attack their closest enemy, but can switch targets similar to turrets. See the behavior section of the minions page for more details.

    Turrets

    The behavior of the turrets is described in the corresponding page as well as the damage that their basic attacks do (which increases with each hit).

    Vision

    Using basic attacks from a brush or fog of war will reveal the attacking unit, and in the bush specifically it will also reveal allies, for a few seconds.

    Hurt

    Basic attacks always deal physical damage unless one of the following abilities is used, in which case all damage from it will be magic damage.

    • Basic attack Devastating Strike of Basic attack poppy
    • Mace of Spades Mace of Spades Basic attack Mordekaiser
    • Basic attack Choose a Letter from Basic attack Twisted fate

    However, certain items, abilities, or passives can cause them to deal bonus magic damage on that physical damage basis. Basic attack damage benefits from the attacker's attack damage and is reduced by the target's armor.



    When using a basic attack on a turret, the damage is based on the base attack damage plus the extra attack damage or 40% of the champion's ability power, depending on which is greater. Even if the ability power is scaled on the basic attack, it is still full physical damage.

    Attack speed

    The frequency at which a champion auto-attacks is called attack speed and is limited to 2.5; this means that a champion can attack a maximum of 5 times in a 2 second period.

    Some abilities reset the attack timer and allow the champion to attack immediately if used after a basic attack.
