The '''Whirlwind Attack''' [[Special Move]] is similar to the [[Bushido]] attribute [[Frenzied Whirlwind]]. It allows a single warrior to damage multiple adjacent targets in a single attack. Whirlwind Attack is limited to aggressors; it will not cause damage to party members, allies, or innocents. This special move can be activated by setting a key macro for the appropriate primary or secondary weapon ability or double-clicking the icon in 2D. The icon will highlight red when activated. This special move, when combined with a high bushido, allows a melee warrior to clear out a number of enemies all at once, making this special move a must-have for felucca and ilshenar champ spawns.
