Wukong and his clone spin their staffs around for up to 2 seconds, becoming disarmed, gaining 20% bonus movement speed and reducing their attack range to 50. The spin deals 1 / 1.5 / 2% of the target's maximum health (+0.275 attack damage) in physical damage to nearby enemies every 0.25 seconds. The damage can go to a total of 16 / 24 / 32% of the target's maximum health (+4.4 attack damage). Enemies affected by Cyclone for the first time are knocked up for 0.6 seconds. Cyclone can be cancelled after casting another ability or recasting after 0.5 seconds. Cyclone can be cast a second time within 8 seconds of the first cast.

RECAST: Wukong and his clone spin their staffs a second time, mimicking the first cast's effects. If recast while spinning, Wukong stops spinning early instead. Wukong can still spin a second time after stopping his first spin early, and can end his second spin early as well.

Nimbus Strike's bonus attack speed duration is continuously refreshed while spinning.

Cyclone's damage is capped at 200 / 400 / 600 per second against monsters (depending on level).
