Ash and 2 holographic clones teleport and attack up to 9 / 11 / 13 / 18 enemies within a 15 / 20 / 22 / 25 meter radius of the selected initial target. Ash can attack a maximum of 17 times, and each attack (including clone attacks) inflicts 750 / 1000 / 1500 / 2000 Finisher damage with a 100% Slash b Bleed chance.
Damage is affected by Power Strength, Steel Charge, and Combo Counter multipliers.
All attacks from Ash and his clones add to the Melee Combo Counter.
The Bleed DoT inflicts 35% of the initial damage per tick for a total of 7 ticks over 6 seconds. The Bleed damage bypasses armor and shields.
Cast range and attack radius are affected by Power Range.
Animation speed is affected by melee attack speed. Thus equipping fast melee weapon like Tekko modded with Fury, True Steel and Berserker will result in ridiculous ability speed.[citation needed]
Upon activating Blade Storm with the initial target in sight, additional targets are immediately selected within range. All selected targets are marked with a red tint; Ash and his clones will not attack any enemies that lack this marker.
As long as Ash has not reached the attack limit, and as long as there's more than one marked target, Ash and his clones will continue to attack all marked targets until they're killed. The same enemy can be attacked more than once.
If only one target is marked when Blade Storm is cast, Ash can continuously attack the target until the limit is reached.
Ash becomes invulnerable for the duration and is returned to the original cast location once the ability ends.
Can be activated while in the air.
