Analysis

When an unit under effect of this ability lands auto attack, the following happens

1. Level 1: Apply Corrosive Breath debuff.
2. Level 2: Deals physical damage to nearby enemies, Apply Corrosive Breath debuff on these targets. Damage amount is calculated based on the original damage instance to main target before all damage manipulations.
3. Level 3: Apply Frost Breath debuff on nearby enemies.

Trivia

Splash damage dealt to nearby enemies are not programmed as auto attacks, meaning

• This damage cannot trigger effects that are triggered when auto attack land, e.g. debuff, lifesteal, ...
• It cannot trigger critical strike. However, if the original damage instance to main target are critical, this damage is scaled up.
• It cannot be evaded. (However, if the initial attack missed, the splash damage and other effects cannot be triggered)
