Answer

Ruling: After the initial chain (when I attack, defend, actions/reactions) resolves, the attacker receives Focus and Priority and can play actions/reactions. There is no defined number of chains that can happen during a showdown.

Sequence:

  • When I attack triggers go on the initial chain to start the showdown
  • Initial chain resolves
  • Attacker gets Focus and Priority
  • Players can play actions/reactions until both pass
  • This can create multiple chains before combat damage
