Question

We are curious about how similar and different the Response triggering conditions “after your hero attacks,” “after your hero attacks an enemy,” and “after your hero attacks and defeats an enemy” are. Can Pitchback be played immediately after the first sentence of Melee, before resolving the second sentence? Can Jarnbjorn be triggered immediately after the first sentence of Melee, before resolving the second sentence?
If it cannot, can it be triggered twice after resolving Melee in full, if Melee attacked two enemies in total? Can Chase Them Down be played immediately after the first sentence of Melee, before resolving the second sentence (if resolving the first sentence defeated an enemy)? If it cannot, can it be played after resolving Melee in full, if only the first sentence of Melee defeated an enemy?

Answer

When you play Melee, you are treated as having made a single attack (with multiple instances of damage); this should help provide context for my answers to your specific questions below.

You can only play Pitchback after you’ve fully resolved Melee.
Same for Jarnbjorn; you’d activate it after fully resolving Melee. If Melee hits multiple targets, you could activate Jarnbjorn multiple times, one for each enemy hit by the attack.
Chase Them Down would have to be played after fully resolving Melee, and could still trigger if only the “first instance of damage” from Melee defeated a minion.
