If a unit dies in response to a 'When I attack...' trigger, does the ability still happen?

Answer

Ruling: It depends on the wording of the ability. If the ability uses the word "here" (like Leona, Determined), the ability will not resolve if the unit is killed before the trigger resolves. If the ability does not require the unit to be "here" (like Twisted Fate), it will resolve fully even if the unit is killed.

Nuances:

  • Leona, Determined's stun will not go off if she is killed in response to her attack trigger because her ability states "here" and she will be in the trash when the trigger tries to resolve
  • Twisted Fate's attack trigger will resolve fully even if he's killed because his ability does not require him to be "here"
