Slay the Spire 2 Whirlwind Guide
Whirlwind is one of the classic multi target attacks available to Ironclad in Slay the Spire 2. It converts all of your remaining energy into repeated damage hits against every enemy on the field.
Because of how X cost cards work, Whirlwind can scale far beyond its base numbers. The more energy you have available, the more times the attack triggers, which makes it extremely strong in fights with multiple enemies.
What Whirlwind Does In Slay the Spire 2
Whirlwind spends all available energy and deals damage to all enemies once for each energy used.
For example, if you have 3 energy and play Whirlwind, the attack triggers 3 times. Each hit damages every enemy on the battlefield.
This allows Whirlwind to quickly clear groups of weaker enemies or heavily damage multiple targets in longer fights.

Why Whirlwind Is Strong
Whirlwind is powerful because it scales directly with energy. Each additional energy point increases the total number of hits.
This makes it excellent in decks that generate extra energy during a turn. When paired with energy relics or temporary energy boosts, Whirlwind can deal massive damage to entire enemy groups.
It is also extremely effective during fights with several enemies. Instead of targeting one enemy at a time, Whirlwind spreads damage across the entire battlefield.
Best Situations To Use Whirlwind
Whirlwind shines in fights where multiple enemies are present. Hitting every enemy several times often removes weaker enemies instantly.
It also performs well in Ironclad decks that focus on energy generation. More energy means more attack triggers, which dramatically increases total damage output.
The upgraded version becomes especially dangerous in high energy turns because each hit deals significantly more damage.
