Tactical Information

Blade Wall provides a physical mitigation debuff to all enemies hit by the skill.

• When traited in The Deadly Storm trait tree, Blade Wall is a powerful ability and should be used often to maximize damage output.
• When traited in The Berserker trait tree, Blade Wall is much weaker than other Strike skills. Champions in this specialization should only use Blade Wall if they need the mit debuff on enemies. Thus, if there are more than 1 Champions in the Fellowship, only one Red Champion needs to use Blade Wall for the debuff.
