Lady DeathStrike vs Power Snack

MeriocreGamer

Does Lady DS’s initial armor up buff “trigger” and get eaten up by power snack or no?

Bendy

Yes as its a buff so power snack does eat it

Magrailothos

Yes; but you can work around it - try to play defensively for the first few seconds, and get a Dexterity Precision buff on you; then trigger it after the Power Snack cooldown by hitting the opponent.
The Precision buff will trigger Power Snack; and then your Armour buff will re-trigger whilst it's back on cooldown.
Her subsequent armour effects are passive; so she's perfectly useable against most opponents, on this node.

Thanks for the tips. I just went with a different blocker and made it through. Furthest I’ve gotten so far in Saga incursion, trying to not screw it up.

I tested it out in normal quest and confirmed, power snack does indeed eat her initial armor up buff.

Yes, because that is how her buff and the node work. She doesn't walk into the fight with her buffs, it triggers at the start of the fight. Since it triggers, she loses it to power snack. Works the same way with every single champ that triggers a buff at or after the start of the fight. There are some exceptions, like Venom who gains a couple buffs prior to the start of the fight, but then will lose the buff he gains at the start of the fight.

Yeah that’s literally my initial question: if her initial buff “triggers.”
