Notes

• Whirlwind Attack is a single attack that can hit multiple foes.
  • When wielding a scythe, each target will only be hit once.
• The foes hit by this skill are those adjacent to the user, not the target.
  • This attacks will fail to hit kiting opponents, including the target, if they have moved away by the time the attack would have connected.
• The 1 second recharge prevents the skill from being easily spammed, since it will not benefit from the adrenaline it generates.
  • Echo can overcome this with six adjacent foes, or with three adjacent foes when under an effect that doubles adrenaline gain such as "For Great Justice!".
