Vi, Peacekeeper

**Q. My Vi Peacekeeper attacks a unit with Deathknell. The unit dies during combat damage. After the combat cleanup, my enemy reacts to the Deathknell item with Rengar Trophy Hunter.

Does Vi stun again? Why?**

A. A: Yes, Vi stuns again.

When Rengar enters the board, combat would be staged at that battlefield. BUT, we are still in a “Showdown Closed State” because combat hasn’t ended yet! So we don’t satisfy step 9 of Cleanup (323.13.) and we go all the way to 461.7. where Combat ends. Only then have we reached a Neutral Open State to start a NEW combat soon after (and trigger all attack/defender abilities again)

I know I know, “why are we still in a Showdown state when the Combat Showdown has already ended???” It’s terribly worded. Riot, please come up with a better name 🥲
