Answer

Ruling: The attacker retains focus after the initial attack/defend trigger chain resolves. The attacker always gets to play an action first in showdown.

Sequence:

  • Attacker has focus during the initial chain
  • After initial chain resolves, attacker still has focus
  • Attacker plays first action in showdown

Nuances:

  • This is a known oversight in the rules that will be fixed in updated rules
  • Focus is the ability to start a chain with activated abilities and spells; starting a chain with a triggered ability does not cause you to lose focus after that chain resolves
