Whirl finisher

A Whirl finisher is a skill that can create a combo effect by interacting with a combo field. Whirl effects cause projectiles to be sent out in multiple directions, applying corresponding effects. Most effects inflict conditions on foes except cleansing and healing bolts, which respectively remove conditions from allies they hit or apply stacks of Regeneration.

Notes

• Whirl finishers trigger where the character stops moving or upon hitting a combo field.
• If you have a target selected, the projectiles have a chance to be sent out towards your target instead of a random direction.
• Without a target, the bolts will fire in directions based on your camera angle.
• Whirl finisher bolts have a range of 900 units.
  • Cleansing and Healing Bolts apply their effect in a 150 unit radius on impact, which means they can affect multiple targets, including the player who created the finisher if they're close enough.
  • Cleansing and Healing Bolts can trigger their effects on allies in their small radius, when passing through enemies or hitting objects (eg. walls). This also means the player who created the finisher can impact themselves, though note that it can be very unreliable.
