Is Whirl Worth It?

Skill Ranking B Rank Icon

Worth it for fast attack builds

This skill is very powerful if you have a build that focuses on buffing fast attacks as much as possible. Otherwise, this skill is not worth investing into since there are better ways to deal with large groups of enemies. This skill can also be used against a single enemy, like a boss. This skill allows you to get multiple attacks in before the enemy evades or guards.

Conclusion

Get this skill immediately if you plan to make your build revolve around fast attacks. If you plan to make a build that does not fully revolve around fast attacks, then it is better to invest your skill points in another skill.
