Bladefall

Bladefall is a physical spell that causes ethereal blades to rain from the sky, dealing damage to enemies in a sequence of volleys, each wider but less damaging than the last. Enemies can be hit multiple times where these overlap.

Skill functions and interactions

Waves: Casting the spell summons five cascading waves of blades, with each wave dealing damage once (6% less damage per wave after the first), and each falling one wave's width further than the last (there is no space in between waves where damage is not dealt). Enemies can be knocked back by this skill or others, allowing for the possibility of multiple hits. The first wave of the spell will always fall where the player points the cursor on cast.
Lingering Blades: Each wave of Bladefall leaves behind a Lingering Blade on the ground. These blades can be detonated with Blade Blast or animated with Animate Weapon. Lingering Blades have a duration of 6 seconds. Bladefall will leave 50% less blades if the skill is not directly cast (e.g. Cast On Critical Strike Support).
Physical spell: Despite the fact that it does physical damage, Bladefall is a spell and not an attack. It does not utilize weapon damage in any way. Because Bladefall deals physical damage, it can be boosted by support gems and passive skills that are more commonly used to modify attacks, such as the Added Fire Damage Support gem or the Hatred aura. Bladefall is one of several skills that work in this manner, some others beingEthereal Knives, Shockwave Totem, and Blade Vortex.
Area of effect: Increases and reductions to area of effect apply to the area of each volley and their spacing. Increasing area of effect will increase total coverage but potentially lower overlap on one enemy. Reducing area of effect can increase DPS due to the constant size of enemy hitboxes.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.17.0	Bladefall now deals 43 to 65 Physical Damage at gem level 1 (previously 44 to 66), up to 595 to 893 at gem level 20 (previously 411 to 617). Now has 140% Effectiveness of Added Damage at all gem levels (previously 90%).
3.12.0	Fixed a bug where Bladefall could sometimes hit enemies on the other side of walls.
3.10.1c	Updated audio of the Golden Bladefall Effect and Demonic Bladefall Effect microtransactions.
3.10.0	Can now create Lingering Blades. These can be animated with Animate Weapon or destroyed with Blade Blast. These blades have a base duration of 6 seconds at all gem levels.
3.6.0	Mana Cost at gem level 1 is now 12 (was 13). Mana Cost at gem level 20 is now 23 (was 26). Now deals 44 to 66 Physical damage at gem level 1 (from 44 to 65) and 411 to 617 Physical damage at gem level 20 (from 380 to 570).
3.3.0	Now has 100% increased critical strike chance. Now has 20% reduced critical strike chance per volley, as well as 6% less damage per volley. Previously there was no penalty per volley to critical strike chance. Now has a cast time of 0.7 seconds (down from 0.8)
3.1.0	Bladefall's area of effect was wider than intended close to the caster. The area of effect now better matches the area the blades visually land. The total width of Bladefall's area of effect has been increased slightly to compensate for the now-narrower early stages.
2.4.0	The trap/mine behaviour of Bladefall has been made more consistent with other traps/mines. The blades fall from the mine itself, not targeting the location where the monster is. (They will fall in the direction of the monster though).
2.3.0	If you use Rain of Arrows, Blast Rain and Bladefall to target a blocked location then they will be now used on the nearest valid location.
2.2.0	Bladefall had a bug that caused its damage per volley reduction to apply too early, reducing the damage of the first four stages. This has been fixed, which has raised its damage. To compensate, Bladefall's damage has been reduced by 25% at all levels. Bladefall now does 6% less damage per stage (up from 5%). Its damage effectiveness has been reduced from 120% to 90%.
2.1.1b	Fixed a bug where Bladefall was unable to hit targets around corners.
2.1.0	Added to the game.
