Shattering Windmill

Description

A technique in which one enhances the spin of their Windmill strike to freeze surrounding enemies, leaving them vulnerable to a follow-up attack. Enemies hit by this attack are left frozen for a time and take additional damage when the ice shatters. Developed as an outgrowth of the Windmill skill, it is influenced by the user's Windmill radius and damage, and is augmented with different effects depending on the active Elemental Instillment. Enemies that aren't knocked down and enemies that are have already been frozen by Shattering Windmill cannot be frozen.

A Player Performing Shattering Windmill

• Requires a Sword (excluding Rapiers), Blunt Weapon, or Axe equipped in order to use.
• The user spins while brandishing their weapon with frost magic, freezing those that can be, and debuffing those who can't be.
  • The debuff lasts for the duration that they would've been frozen for
  • Enemies that are frozen can still take damage and they also take full damage, unlike Ice Spear
• The User's Windmill damage is used to calculate the final damage.
  • Some effects that increase the multiplier of Windmill will increase the damage of Shattering Windmill.
  • Such effects include Windmill Damage Reforge, Red Echostone, and Set Bonuses as well as the Windmill Glyph.
  • Windmill Combo Card effects do not trigger when using Shattering Windmill.
    • An (incomplete) example Damage formula for Shattering Windmill's initial damage:
      • (Shattering Windmill % + (Windmill Damage % + Windmill Damage Reforge + Windmill Set Bonus + Windmill Glyph).
    • An (incomplete) example Damage formula for Shattering Windmill's shatter damage:
      • (Shattering Windmill % + Instill Frost Bonus %)
• The user's Windmill Range is equal to Shattering Windmill's range.
  • Modifiers that increase Windmill's range (such as Reforges) will also increase Shattering Windmill's range
• This skill gains bonus effects depending on which instillment skills are active:
  • Instill Flame increases this skill's damage.
  • Instill Frost increases this skill's attack radius.
  • Instill Thunder inflicts Electrocution on all affected targets. This damage over time is capable of landing Critical Hits as well as triggering Stardust effects and Redoubled Offensive.
