Usage
Flute of the Tides opens with a starfall of notes that hits an area, then leaves a spectral flute following you for 12.5 seconds. The flute sends out up to 5 waves of sound ripples, each hitting up to 5 different enemies, so it keeps dealing damage while you carry on fighting.
It deals double damage to non-player enemies, making it strongest in PvE against groups. Its upgrades reward keeping your distance: Sound Ripples hit harder the farther away the target is, up to 20% at 9 metres or more once fully upgraded.
