If the attacking player's only unit dies during a showdown (killed by Hextech Ray with no reaction), does the showdown end immediately or can the attacking player still play action cards like Hidden Blade?

Answer

Ruling: Killing the attacking unit does not automatically end the showdown. The attacking player can still play action spells like Hidden Blade.

Sequence:

  • Unit is killed during showdown
  • Showdown continues
  • Players can still play action cards
  • Showdown ends only when both players pass Focus in a row

Nuances:

  • A showdown does not end simply because one side has no units remaining
  • The showdown only ends through the normal passing mechanism
