Trait
Whirlwind Blade
Rapid sword strikes increase this weapon's damage for a short duration. Guarding also ends the effect.
Overview
Whirlwind Blade is a Trait for Swords. Consecutive rapid sword strikes increase the weapon's damage output. Guarding ends the effect, so you need to resume attacking to rebuild it. It rolls on many swords, including Eternity's Edge, Zephyr, Nasreddin, Abide the Return and Throne-Cleaver.
The enhanced version is listed as improving the buff's duration.
Tips
Suggested pairings for Falling Guillotine are Vorpal Weapon and Frenzy in the first column, with Surrounded or Whirling Blade in the second. For The Other Half, a second column of Vorpal Weapon, Frenzy and Whirlwind Blade.
