Cleaving Whirlwind

Cleaving Whirlwind is a Stance mod for Heavy Blade melee weapons. It is a momentum-based stance whose slow, sweeping attacks deal high damage in coned or radial areas around the wielder.

Can be equipped on:
 * Dark Split-Sword
 * Galatine*
 * Galatine Prime*
 * Gram
 * Scindo
 * Scindo Prime
 * War*

*Denotes weapons with matching Stance polarity.

Tips

 * Broken Bull punishes mindless mashing by causing the Tenno to lose their balance and stagger if they try to continue spinning after the 7th spin. Cancel the combo or chain into Crowd Fall to maintain combo momentum.
 * The stagger after the 7th swing is shortened dramatically with strong attack speed buffs such as Valkyr's Warcry and Volt's Speed. While under these buffs, spamming mindlessly is punished far less severely.
 * With careful timing, one could achieve the third hit within the Broken Bull spin by turning 90 degrees clockwise after the second hit has landed.

Trivia

 * The final strike in Drifting Stampede is identical to the final strike of Shattering Storm's  Falling Rock, without the ground slam.
 * Crowd Fall is the standard combo for most Heavy Blade melee weapons without a Stance mod on.
