How to play

  1. Open by building Fury and unleashing the Tornado.

  2. Keep your health low, but not too low — with the Offering shield as a safety net.

  3. Against packs, Tornado in the middle and kills to recover health.

  4. Against bosses, heavy combo during the 3 s bonus.

  5. Watch out for big hits when you're at 20% health.
