Awakened Windwalkers, is it necessary to learn this skill?

[FarfallaN]

Since I can just chain literally any other mobility skill and activate spiral kick. Should I unlearn this skill and add more SP to the Windwalker tree?
Or is there a reason why this skill is needed that I am not aware of (potential upcoming skills requiring this one/ sick pvp combos)?

Keep it, it's worth having because you can use it to get to Awakened Blooming Kick which is your strongest attack basically.

[FarfallaN]

Could you explain in detail how I can use Awakened Blooming Kick? Did you mean Blooming Kick [Instant]?

[FarfallaN]

Oh hey, one more thing. Does the Spiral Kick EX casted by right clicking after Blooming Kick EX/ Cyclone Kick EX share CD with the regular Spiral Kick EX?

[Orobas]

Instant and awakened are the same for me, the one that costs bubbles to use and gets a 2.5x? boost. I believe they did share CD's

I rarely if ever use spiral kick after blooming kick and never use non exi cyclone either. I do use spiral kick after swift attack but I don't know if you need the awakening to be able to use spiral kick after swift attack.

I would keep the Spiral Kick awakening for combo variety and some extra damage. This assumes that you are comfortable with landing Spiral Kick and its combos.

• Certain combos are quicker or easier to land using Blooming Kick+flip or Blooming Kick+Spiral awake. I feel it is nice to have both options. Flip puts you into the air. Spiral keeps you low to the ground.
• Spiral Kick EX would do more damage than the flip kick portion (even slightly more than awakened flip kick) of Blooming Kick. Since Spiral Kick+flip or Spiral Kick x2 has a potential x2.6 modifier. It does depend on your overall combo though.
• Spiral awakening only applies to the dash portion of Cyclone Kick. So it does not work with Cyclone instant. Maybe just to correct a mistake and rush into Spiral Kick x2 to get out of the area of effect. It still technically is a feature.

For pvp, I suppose it would help Windwalkers be more unpredictable. Spiral Kick EX is a top 3 skill here.

It pretty much lets you use blooming kick 3 times in a row quickly. Blooming kick awakening is your strongest skill (unless you have 2 genesis rings and an eagle dive tech i guess) and the debuff is separate from the normal blooming kick ex debuff so it's pretty useful. Nothing else worth putting points in unless you want a pvp build.
