Trample

Trample

"After using a melee attack to defeat a unit, performs another melee attack against the unit in the next position."

The Trample ability is triggered based on the sequential order of the opponent's Unit positions.

Remarkable Interactions

1. Trample only works for units with the melee attack type. 
2. Trample only works forward and not backward. If a unit with Trample kills the last Unit, it will not activate to hit the previous unit.
3. If the opponent has a unit with Camouflage in the last position during the Super Sneak, a unit with Trample will attack the camouflaged Unit after defeating the unit in the next-to-last position
4. When a unit with Trample kills the unit in the first position, but that unit gets Resurrected, the Trample ability will target the unit in the opponent's second position.  
5. Review the Stampede Modifier Explanation for additional information about Trample interactions. 
6. If a Unit has Armored Strike and Trample, Trample can trigger on Armored Strike.
7. Units with Execute will only Execute once per round, even if Trample is in play.  
8. Trample will only happen once per round, even if the trampler has Double Strike.
9. Spite attacks will not trigger trample (in case a unit with Spite has trample)

Notable Modifiers

1. Stampede: Trample will be able to retrigger infinitely as long as the trampling Unit keeps killing other Units.
2. Super Sneak: Trample will not trigger when killing the Unit in the last position as there are no units to trample.

Notable Abilities

1. Retaliate - When a would-be Trampler is killed by Retaliate, Trample will not activate. If the Trampler is not killed by Retaliate, it will proceed with the Trampling.
2. Enrage - when damaged, your Unit will have increased melee attack and speed. This might be the buff you need to defeat your enemy's unit and trigger the trample ability!
3. Armored Strike - Trample will activate when an opposing unit is killed by this melee attack.
