Whirlwind

Whirlwinds Blind and Slow the movement speed of enemies within them. If their creator crosses the edge of the Whirlwind it collapses, damaging and Knocking Back enemies caught inside. The collapse deals Melee damage.

Trying to create a Whirlwind that would overlap with an existing Whirlwind instead moves the existing Whirlwind and grants it a stage, making it larger and more damaging.

A Whirlwind that overlaps an allied Elemental Ground Surface takes on that element, gaining 50% of damage as the corresponding type and applying the Ground Surface's debuff to enemies inside the Whirlwind.

Whirlwinds are objects created by certain spear skills. Certain skills will also interact with them.

Mechanics

Whirlwinds apply Blind and a 30% movement speed slow to enemies within it.

When the creator moves to the edge of a whirlwind (moving into a whirlwind or moving outside of it), the whirlwind collapses, dealing melee damage and knockback to enemies within it.

Creating a whirlwind where there's already one will add a stage to it instead. Whirlwinds gain increased radius and increased collapse damage and knockback distance per stage. Whirlwind stages are normally capped at 3.

Whirlwinds created over an elemental ground effect (ignited ground, chilled ground, shocked ground) will gain 50% of damage as extra damage of that element. It will also propagate the effects of the ground effect to enemies inside the whirlwind as well.
