Bladestorm

Bladestorm is a melee Attack skill that creates a bladestorm that continuously deals damage in an area for a short duration. This skill interacts with Blood and Sand Stance. In Blood Stance, the bladestorm will be stationary and grants the user more attack speed while standing in it. In Sand Stance, the bladestorm will travel forward and grant the user increased movement speed while standing in it.

Skill functions and interactions

The blood/sand storms created by Bladestorm can trigger Cast On Critical Strike Support.
