Overkill question

Does overkill trigger on your opponents turn? Say there was a 5/5 minion with Overkill gain 1 attack, and you’re opponent attacks it with a 4/4. 4/4 dies, does the 5/5 overkill trigger?

Can an Overkill minion trigger even if it's dying following the attack, or does it have to survive?

It triggers even if the Overkill minion dies.

For this weapon, does it trigger more than once on the same turn if you overkill the next attack too?

Yup! Every time you Overkill with Sul'thraze, you get an additional attack.

It doesn’t. The overkill tooltip reads “deal excess damage on your turn for a bonus”. Preview screenshots have been wrong before but thats what it currently says on the blizzard website.

This is correct. Minions with Overkill will only trigger if it is your turn.

Otherwise it feels REALLY bad to trade into an Overkill minion with your smaller minions.
