Clashing Spiral (Alt: Spiral Pierce) is a Transcendent 2^nd class offensive skill available as Lord Knight and some Mercenaries.

Effect

Skewers a single target five times with a spiral technique, where each hit will inflict ranged physical damage. The damage is greatly affected by the weight of the equipped weapon.

Level	Base Damage (ATK)	SP Cost
1	200%	18
2	250%	21
3	300%	24
4	350%	27
5	400%	30

Damage for each hit = [floor((ATK + Weight) x 0.7 x SizeModifier) + masteryATK) x floor(Base_Damage) x (BaseLvl ÷ 100)]

where SizeModifier is as follow:

• Large: 1
• Medium: 1.15
• Small: 1.3

Notes

• Despite the animation, all damage is connected in one single bundle.
• The affected target will be unable to move for one second while the hits of this skill are being inflicted (similar to being "crit locked").
• Damage increasing cards or items that increase the final damage by a relative amount, such as The Sign, affect this skill.
• Gigantic Lance is the best weapon to use with this skill as weapon weight adds the most damage to date.

Applications

PvM

• This skill can be used primarily to level by Teleporting (by skill or Fly Wings) around a map and one-shotting monsters.

PvP

• While this skill usually requires Magic Strings to gain more damage per minute than other skills, a Lexed Gloomy Clashing Spiral can instantly kill many classes.
• Additionally, it does have many advantages since it can deal so much damage at once. However, there are many cards that will reduce a good portion of damage of this skill. It can also be quickly blocked by Pneuma.
• A user can endow its weapon with the Wind property and use Marina or Stormy Knight cards to freeze enemies, inflicting further damage when the Wind property damage hits a frozen enemy.
