• When using a crusher, the negative effects of the vortex are removed from the enemy

Combos

Vortex and Vortex Crusher skills only work in combination.

1. Use the vortex skill on the enemy, for example Wind Vortex Lv. 1
   • The enemy will receive magic damage
   • With some chance, the enemy will receive negative effects
   • The combination is possible only after the successful completion of the negative effects
2. Use crusher skill, e.g. Wind Vortex Slug Lv. 1
   • The enemy receiving heavy magic damage
   • The enemy losing a target
   • Vortex Negative effect removes the enemy

Notes:

• Earth Vortex Crusher Lv. 1 works in combination with Earth Vortex Lv. 1
• Surrender to Wind Lv. 14 — The target's Wind resistance is -30. Cancels the Wind Resistance effect on the target.
  And other similar skills greatly enhance the vortex combination.
