Acquisition

Innate skill of the Stormhawk Axe.

Effect

The user imbues the axe with Lightning that strikes down from up above, granting the axe a Weapon Buff that gives 120 Lightning Attack Power and lasts for 40 seconds. Afterwards, the user swings the axe around their body three times, dealing 100% of the weapon's base Physical Attack Power and 90 base Lightning Attack Power. For each swing, a small tornado is generated around the user, dealing 57%, 62%, then 70% of the weapon's Attack Power.

An additional input has the user spin counter-clockwise twice, dealing dealing 100% of the weapon's base Physical Attack Power and 90 base Lightning Attack Power. For each swing, a small tornado is generated around the user, dealing 72%, then 77% of the weapon's base Attack Power.

Inputting once more has the user spin counter-clockwise twice again, dealing 100%, then 110% of the weapon's base Physical Attack Power, with the final swing knocking opponents backwards. In addition, the first swing deals 90 base Lightning Attack Power, while the final swing deals 107 base Lightning Attack Power. For each swing, a small tornado is generated around the user, dealing 79%, then 81% of the weapon's base Attack Power.

If performing without the sufficient FP or stat requirements, each swing except the last deals only 65% of the weapon's base Attack Power, while the last swing deals only 75% of the weapon's base Attack Power. The small tornadoes are no longer generated.
