Whirling Slash is a spearskill. The user performs a circular slash that hits surrounding enemies and creates a Whirlwind on the user's location. Moving to the edge of the whirlwind causes it to collapse, dealing melee damage and knockback to enemies within it.
Whirling Slash has inbuilt forward movement that scales with attack speed but not movement speed. This is prevented if Attack Without Moving is enabled.[1]
