Effect

  1. Hold block with a sword or polearm equipped and use the special attack.
  2. You spin in place. The spin costs no stamina and deals no damage by itself.
  3. 0.4 s later, a whirlwind bursts out: every enemy within 4 m takes damage and is pushed away (push force 150).

  4. It also hits birds.

  5. It also hits destructible objects in the area. Objects are not hit while an enemy is within 10 m, or an enemy within 6 m of you is targeting you. Setting: [(General)] Protect Resources From Collateral Damage (on by default; outdoors only).
  6. Casting is loud and alerts enemies nearby.

The whirlwind deals 100% of your weapon damage (50% Blunt + 50% Slash), whatever the weapon's own damage types.

  • The weapon damage is the weapon's listed damage (its quality counts, your skill does not).

The whirlwind also deals Lightning damage: 0.5 per level, with no base damage.
