Description

Strategies
This arcana excels in its defensive utility for destroying projectiles and quickly making space around the player. Use this arcana when surrounded by melee foes to make space; the high knockback will assist in launching foes into pits and use it when surrounded by projectiles to quickly destroy all of them. This defensive versatility makes it a great pair with in just about any build that may struggle with being overwhelmed. This arcana's quick casting time means it is safe to aggressively dash into a group of foes to maximize damage.

For the charged Signature, the trajectory of the tornadoes can be manipulated beyond a straight line. By curving the analog stick, an arc of tornadoes can be created to strike foes that are not lined up perfectly. By aiming the analog stick perpendicular to the player's initial aim, a wall of tornadoes can be created instead.
