Bladefall is a physical spell that causes ethereal blades to rain from the sky, dealing damage to enemies in a sequence of volleys, each wider but less damaging than the last. Enemies can be hit multiple times where these overlap.
Skill functions and interactions[ | ]
- Waves: Casting the spell summons five cascading waves of blades, with each wave dealing damage once (6% less damage per wave after the first), and each falling one wave's width further than the last (there is no space in between waves where damage is not dealt). Enemies can be knocked back by this skill or others, allowing for the possibility of multiple hits. The first wave of the spell will always fall where the player points the cursor on cast.
- Lingering Blades: Each wave of Bladefall leaves behind a Lingering Blade on the ground. These blades can be detonated with Blade BlastBlade BlastSpell, AoE, Physical

- Area of effect: Increases and reductions to area of effect apply to the area of each volley and their spacing. Increasing area of effect will increase total coverage but potentially lower overlap on one enemy. Reducing area of effect can increase DPS due to the constant size of enemy hitboxes.
