Windblast

Windblast is a supernatural ability that creates gusts of wind that can be used as an offensive attack to damage enemies or knock them off their feet. This ability can be used in a number of ways, from smashing doors to pushing an enemy off a roof, so that he plummets to his death.

Ability Tiers

Tier I - (3 runes)

With Tier I Windblast, Corvo Attano has the ability to push people and objects backwards; he is also able to smash open locked wooden doors.

Tier II - (4 runes)

With tier Tier II Windblast, Corvo has the ability to slam enemies into nearby walls or objects with lethal force.

Strategy

• Try to blow objects towards enemies or vice versa. The ability itself provides minimum damage without utilizing the environment. Alternatively, throw them off ledges or into water.
• This ability can be used to reflect any projectiles that are slow enough (tallboy bolts, grenades, etc.).
• Tier II Windblast will enable Corvo to kill foes that are thrown back against objects, making the power extremely useful for crowd control.
• One blast is enough to destroy a swarm of rats and is one of the best ways to deal with them.
