<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-multi_melee"> Some have Infernal Rulings that pertain only to themselves, but the clarifications below are applicable to <b>all</b> of these abilities: <span style="vertical-align: super; font-size: smaller;">[<span class="mw-customtoggle-multi_melee" style="color: #0645ad">Show/Hide</span>]</span><div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<dl><dd> <b>Targeting/Timing</b>
<ul><li> To make a multi-melee-attack (<b>MMA</b>) you have to make individual melee attacks vs every model, and this means you need to <i>target</i> every model with a melee attack. If a model "may not be targeted by melee attacks" (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Una2" title="Una2">Una2</a>'s feat) then you have to 'skip' it when you resolve the attack. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?268646-Una-2-feat-and-flashing-blade&p=3809399&viewfull=1#post3809399" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> The attacks are effectively multiple separate attacks.
<ul><li> If you have a buff to your "next attack" (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Tune_Up" title="Tune Up">Tune Up</a>) then it only works vs the first model you roll dice against, not vs every enemy. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279312-Tubbin-s-Tune-Up-and-Meat-Thresher-s-High-Impact&p=3880674&viewfull=1#post3880674" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>).</li></ul></li>
<li> The attacks are simultaneous.
<ul><li> If a model is out of LOS when you start the MMA, then you may not attack it during the MMA (even if the MMA kills what is blocking your LOS).</li>
<li> You need to target everything, then resolve all effects that trigger on "target" before starting any attack rolls. Then complete all attack rolls and do everything that triggers on "hit" before starting any damage rolls, and etc. </li></ul>
<dl><dd> In practice and to save time though, if neither player has effects that trigger on "being targetted, hit, damaged, etc" then they'll normally do the hit and damage rolls on a model-by-model basis. </dd></dl>
<ul><li> If a model collects tokens from destroyed models (for instance the <a href="/index.php?title=Cryx" title="Cryx">Cryx</a> <a href="/index.php?title=Harrower" title="Harrower">Harrower</a> that collects souls), it cannot collect any tokens until all MMA are resolved.</li></ul></li></ul></dd></dl>
<dl><dd> <b>Charging</b>
<ul><li> If you charge and cast a spell to generate MMA, then none of those MMA count as a charge attack. You've "paused" your charge. If the charge target survives the spell, then you get to make a normal charge attack vs it.</li>
<li> If your MMA is simply tied to your weapon, then only the damage roll against your charge <i>target</i> is automatically boosted - other models caught in the MMA suffer an unboosted damage roll (although you can spend focus/fury to boost it)</li></ul></dd></dl>
<dl><dd> <b>Triggering other abilities</b>
<ul><li> Most abilities that give the attacker a bonus move/attack tend to use the phrase "destroy one or more enemy models with a melee attack" and as such you'll only trigger this ability once. For example <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Berserk" title="Berserk">Berserk</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Quick_Work" title="Quick Work">Quick Work</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Black_Spot" title="Black Spot">Black Spot</a>, etc</li>
<li> Other abilities, that trigger on "hit" or "damage", can be triggered from every attack in the MMA. </li></ul>
<dl><dd> Many abilities only trigger off a <i>basic</i> melee attack, so don't work with special MMA (like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Thresher" title="Thresher">Thresher</a>). But if your MMA is basic (like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=High-Impact" title="High-Impact">High-Impact</a>), things might get a bit complicated. In particular:
<ul><li> If you have <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Beat_Back" title="Beat Back">Beat Back</a> on the attacker, it is resolved after the attack. Every model that survives the MMA is eligible to be Beat Back-ed, and the attacker chooses the order. Pick one, push it and follow it, then decide if you want to Beat Back another survivor. Each push will recenter the directly away / directly toward part of the push.

<li> If you have <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Electro-Leap" title="Electro-Leap">Electro-Leap</a> on the attack, it is resolved after all attack rolls but before any damage rolls. The models that you just attacked will have electo-leaps bounce between them (as they will generally be the closest to each other). After the Electro damage is resolved, you can roll melee damage vs any models that survived the electric damage.
