Description

Opening Gambit: This minion fights a nearby enemy minion.

Interactions

• "Fights" means that Lavaslasher deals 4 damage to the enemy minion and gets as much damage as much attack this minion has.
• Because it is an Opening Gambit Lavaslasher also ignores Provoke. It also doesn't get buffed by First Sword of Akrane for the Opening Gambit.
• Because fighting doesn't count as attack there are several minions whose effects don't work:

1. it doesn't buff Wild Tahr
2. it doesn't proc E'Xun and Frostiva
3. Sunstone Templar doesn't dispel Lavaslasher
4. Spiral Counter doesn't work
5. Backstab also doesn't work
6. Dampening Wave doesn't prevent the damage for Lavaslasher.
7. Boulder Breacher's Bond ability doesn't work for Lavaslasher.
8. Erratic Raptyr doesn't turn into an Egg.
9. Day Watcher doesn't heal its general.
10. Bonechill Barrier doesn't stun Lavaslasher.
11. Bluetip Scorpion doesn't deal double damage to Lavaslasher even though Bluetip's ability is not described as an attack.

• But Lavaslasher receives damage and therefore Thunderhorn's or Sojourner's effects will proc.
