↖ Build Overview

The tornado werewolf build revolves around spamming as many tornadoes as possible to deal continuous area-of-effect (AOE) damage. The key unique item for this build is the Tempest Roar, which grants storm skills a chance to restore spirit and transforms base storm skills into werewolf skills. Additionally, the Earthen Might Capstone passive plays a crucial role in this variation, allowing earth skills to trigger a chance for guaranteed critical strikes and spirit restoration.

↖ Skill Tree

• Storm Strike (Generator): Primarily used for a 25% damage reduction for three seconds, with occasional spirit generation.
• Tornado (Main Damage Skill): Allocating five points into this skill significantly enhances the build's damage output. Each tornado deals AOE damage and remains active for a duration, continually damaging enemies. Upgrades increase the chance of spawning additional tornadoes and causing vulnerability.
• Cyclone Armor (Defense): Investing three points here provides non-physical damage reduction and slows enemies when knocked back. Upgrading also grants periodic damage reduction.
• Blood Hell (Healing): One point in this skill provides a substantial heal, and upgrades reduce its cooldown and increase attack speed.
• Hurricane (AOE Damage): While primarily used to trigger other effects, Hurricane also deals decent AOE damage. Upgrades slow enemies and reduce their damage.
• Grizzly Rage (Buff): This skill grants significant movement speed and damage buffs. Upgrades make it unstoppable and fortify you continuously.
• Earthen Might (Capstone Passive): The key change in this variation, allowing storm skills to trigger guaranteed critical strikes and spirit restoration.

• Swooping Attacks: Increased attack speed.
