Circle of Blows

Prerequisites:
Qualifies For:
Level:

Attack Extra Targets

Trigger:
When you would attack with a melee weapon
Target:
Melee: weapon
Cost:
1 SP or free

Once you spend SP on this ability, using it again does not cost SP until the start of your next turn.

Instead of attacking one target with a melee weapon, you may attack every enemy within your wielded melee weapon’s reach with that weapon.

This cannot be used on attacks triggered against a specific enemy (ex: Counterattack, Counter Spell, Welcoming Strike).
You cannot combine any abilities which allow you to attack extra targets with Circle of Blows, including Cleave, Skewer, and Ground Pound.

(You may want to consider Cleave, Ground Pound, or Clone Mantra instead. Circle of Blows is exceptional when you are surrounded by many enemies, but is not as effective for its cost against smaller clusters of enemies or enemies which are more spread out, which may occur more commonly.)
