Whirlwind is an Attack card for the Ironclad. It deals 5 damage to every enemy one time for every bit of Energy spent. As an Uncommon card, it appears as a reward for combat, although less often than Commons.

Upon upgrade, each hit deals 3 more damage.

Interactions[]

  • As a multi-hit attack, it benefits highly from Icon Strength Strength so long as more than 1 Energy is used.
  • Although using it with 0 Energy will have no immediate effect, it still counts as an Attack card played.
  • If duplicated with Duplication Potion Static Duplication Potion, Double Tap, Echo Form, or Necronomicon Necronomicon (If X is 2 or greater), the value of X will be preserved for the copied card.
  • ChemicalX Chemical X allows for Whirlwind to deal damage 2 more times, even if no Energy is used to play it.
  • When unupgraded against single enemies, it is better to use Strikes than burn all your energy on 5 damage instead of 6. This can make Whirlwind a card you might want to upgrade sooner.
