Tips and Details

  • Incredible vertical range makes it the perfect skill for flying enemies and enemies on platforms. Has also very respectable horizontal range.
  • When used close to the target, it will hit it from behind, which is ideal against shielded opponents, such as Raven and his Nasod Shield or anything that guards the front in PvE.
  • Elsword is able to move and act while the skill is still happening, allowing him to attack his opponents caught in it for additional damage, and not allowing them to get knocked down after the skill ends if done right, continuing his combos.
    • It can also be used to reset the KD counter on opponents if attacks are used during it, although this might often be difficult to pull off.
  • This skill is very useful in both PvP and PvE, however, in PvP, Elsword must be aware that the skill might restore considerable amount of MP to his opponents, due to it delivering 12 hits. (18 hits now)
  • A great skill for getting Elsword into his Aura of Vitality state quickly (especially with extra mid-air X attacks) while also delivering good and MP-efficient damage, as well as to continue and/or extend combos.
  • The sand tornado will appear at Elsword's position during the end of the summon animation. This means that if this skill was used at the edge of a platform, the tornado will appear at Elsword's final position of his animation as he fall from the platform.
