Tips & Tricks
- Airburst is an effective way to deal with large swarms of enemies, especially when they are huddled together.
- Airburst allows players to apply crowd-control effects on more distant enemies with Zephyr.
- Synergizes well with Zephyr's Tail Wind as the latter allows Zephyr to stay airborne longer, halving the casting cost of the ability.
- Allows players to make Tornadoes, which aren't affected by Ability Range mods, larger. This increases the sucking range of the Tornadoes.
