Whirling Blades

Whirling Blades is an attack skill. The player dives in a target direction, dealing damage to enemies they pass through.

Skill functions and interactions

Movement: Whirling Blades is a movement skill that makes the player move in a straight path in the targeted direction, passing through any enemies and dealing damage to them, after which there is a brief recovery period during which the player cannot move or perform any actions. Enemies cannot be hit more than once with the same skill use. Whirling Blades has both a minimum distance, which can be achieved by aiming the cursor close to the player, and maximum distance, neither of which can be modified.

Use time: Both local and global attack speed modifiers, including the attack speed bonus for dual wielding, decrease Whirling Blades' use time accordingly. If the player uses Whirling Blades to move less than the maximum distance, or if the player collides with an object during the movement, the recovery period is shortened, such that the use time is less.

Dual wielding: While dual wielding, hits are dealt with either the main or off-hand weapon, chosen at random.

Multistrike: Whirling Blades cannot be supported by Multistrike Support or Melee Splash Support .

Version history

{{Version history table row |3.20.2|

Updated the targeting behaviour for Whirling Blades in Controller Input mode to target monsters rather than location.

Version	Changes
3.18.1	Improved the behaviour of some travel skills when repeated through Echoing Shrine or the Echoist modifier gained by killing monsters. Flame Dash, Whirling Blades and Dash now repeat in the same direction as the initial use. Shield Charge is now able to repeat, though only the larger area attack performed upon reaching your target is repeated. Attacking in place with Leap Slam now repeats in the same direction as the initial use.
3.15.0	Now deals 150% of Base Damage, and has 150% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 20 (previously 120%).
3.7.0	Now deals base damage equal to, and has an added damage effectiveness of, 100% at gem level 1 (from 80%), up to 120% at gem level 20 (from 99%). Now has a mana cost of 10 at all gem levels (from 15).
3.6.0	Can now affect up to 40 targets per attack (from 20).
3.5.0	Now uses weapon attack time +0.6 seconds, rather than overriding your base attack time. While base weapon speed will have some effect, this change is intended to reduce the travel speed difference between characters using weapons local attack speed modifiers and characters who are not.
2.3.0	Increased the attack time of Whirling Blades by 18%. Its previous default attack time was 2.2 seconds. It is now 2.6 seconds.
2.2.0	Whirling Blades is now 10% slower.
2.1.0	Attack skills that have their damage based on the wielded weapon have their mana costs fixed in place from level 1 onwards.
2.0.0	Skill speed increased by 29%.
1.0.0	Reduced the mana cost.
0.10.0	Damage effectiveness increased from 60% to 80%.
0.9.12qq	Damage modifiers are now factored into Damage Effectiveness rather than being listed as separate stats. From 1% attack speed per quality point to 0.35%.
0.9.12f	Fixed a newly introduced bug where Whirling Blades would always get Critical Strikes.
0.9.12	Whirling Blades now checks Evasion properly, rather than always hitting.
0.9.10	Fixed two problems that prevented Whirling Blades from hitting its targets correctly.
0.9.9	Whirling Blades has been added to the game.
