Whirlpool Form

When Whirlpool Form is toggled, Charybdis increases her movement speed and deals damage to opponents who get caught in the area.

When Charybdis is submerged in her whirlpool, she is immune to damage and cannot be targeted for a few seconds.

  • Damage : 10/15/20/25/30  (+5% of your physical power) every 0.5s

If Charybdis kills an opposing player with The Maw Hungers, then she receives another duration of increased movement speed and immunity to crowd control to attack again.
