Whirlwind Strike

The Whirlwind Strike is a Kiraha Kirihara skill available at level 20. She lowers herself to collect energy in her weapon, then sweeps the floor to performs a circular-outward slash, unleashing a whirlwind of Alice energy in the immediate area to make nearby enemies fall and spiral launch them away from her over infinite knockdown distance until the enemies hit the wall or other obstacles.

The amount of hits, damage and the AoE size varied depends on the time taken to collect energy. Attack area is determined by stage charging, Stage 1: 2m, Stage 2: 3.5m, Stage 3: 5m.

Similar to the Halfmoon Slash, the Whirlwind Strike is also very effective against a large swarms of enemy riots, enemy officers or bosses due around her to clear the enemies effortlessly. But unlike Halfmoon Slash, the Whirlwind Strike can hit around it instead of only in front of it and it has infinite knocking distance.
