Does steal energy proc from the second dealing of damage?

If I energy explosion. Is that consider not dealing damage to a single opposing character with an attack?

Steal energy is triggered by damage taken by a close combat attack so I don't think the ATA triggers another use of steal energy.

Energy explosion is targeting one character dealing splash damage to adjacent characters so it should trigger the ATA to deal damage.

I don't think Energy Explosion triggers off of this. Though it doesn't actually target the other characters, that same attack is dealing damage to multiple characters at once. And since the wording for Max Carnage isn't "When a single targeted character takes damage..." Energy Explosion won't trigger and deal mass damage. It simply states "When a single character is damaged by an attack", and since EE is dealing damage to more than one in this example, it wouldn't trigger more damage.

Wrecked face with this the other night. By the wording, don't need to hit the second character to deal damage, it's just as long as you hit the first.... Once hit a 14d pog for 3, and then used ata to do eng to psylocke with 17d for 3 as well..... Then rolled a 5 for blades on a recruit with 14d to then deal 5 to atrocitus sitting with a 17d and toughness.... This ata is so worth it, and the figs really play with well too

You would have only dealt 1 to Psylocke. When damaging a character, once you stop clicking it you stop counting damage taken. If you dealt 3 but it only took 1 to KO the target, then the target only took 1. As such, the ATA would deal 1.
