Mechanics

• The wave strikes are considered melee attacks, not projectiles.
• Enemies caught in the center of the attack suffer all three strikes.
• Each hit counts towards the Virtue of Justice passive effect. For example, if this skill strikes two enemies in the center and one on the side creating seven hits, the Virtue of Justice count will advance by seven.

Notes
