Is an "Aftershock" considered a "Hit" in PoE2

Hey, as the title says it, is it considered a hit ?

Context :
I've been trying to use the Execute gem that says "Supported Skills Deal 40% more damage with Hits against Enemies that are on Low Life", and i'm kind of doing some aftershocks and wondering if the aftershocks deal more damage or it is just the main hit.

Thanks in advance!

I would imagine it is considered a hit but I can't say for certain. The aftershock deals the same damage as the initial hit that caused the aftershock so again I would imagine the aftershock linked with execute would deal more damage if the condition was met.

I think anything that is not damage over time is considered a hit.

This is EA and there may be bugs but you're probably safe with this.

eh im not sure about this
because the support is supporting the skill, not the aftershock
and as it says the aftershock deals the same damage as the skill - so if the skill doesn't benefit nor will the aftershock

I dont believe that area attacks are hits. I attempted to put Splinter on Sunder and it did nothing, so then if a support gem requires a hit then it wont work. Aftershocks would follow this same rule.

This is something you'll just have to test on a low level unique boss that you can reset without the gem and with the gem. There's no spell tag that I know of unless its hidden that would not count it as a hit and it should be duplicating the initial slam damage which should be with execute.
