Overview
Echoing Spinning Slash is a Spirit Skill Tree ability exclusive to Kliff. When performing a Spinning Slash, an illusion is automatically created that performs its own Spinning Slash to attack enemies. This effectively doubles the area damage of the move, making it one of the most potent AoE damage upgrades in Kliff's skill tree.
The illusion created by Nature's Echo mimics your attack with a slight delay, hitting enemies that your original slash may have missed or landing a second hit on enemies already struck by the first. Against groups, the doubled Spinning Slash covers an enormous area.

How to Unlock
Upgrade Nature's Echo to Level 2 to unlock Echoing Spinning Slash. Nature's Echo itself must first be unlocked by maxing Keen Senses to Level 3 in the Spirit tree. Once Nature's Echo is available, each level adds an echo to a different melee attack.
Nature's Echo Progression Chain
Level | Skill | Echo Target |
|---|---|---|
Level 1 | Forward Slash attacks are duplicated | |
Level 2 | Echoing Spinning Slash | Spinning Slash attacks are duplicated |
Level 3 | Stab attacks are duplicated |
How It Works
Once unlocked, the echo triggers automatically whenever Kliff performs a Spinning Slash. There is no additional input or cost. The illusion appears beside Kliff and performs an identical Spinning Slash with a slight offset, effectively creating two overlapping arcs of damage. Enemies caught between both slashes take double the normal hit count.
Combat Tips
Spinning Slash already hits a wide area; the echo doubles this effect, making it devastating against groups of enemies clustered together.
No additional cost is needed, so use it freely whenever Spinning Slash is part of your combo rotation. The echo fires every time without spending Spirit or Stamina.
The echo's Spinning Slash can stagger enemies that your original attack misses if they are positioned slightly off-center. The offset between the two slashes creates overlapping coverage.
For maximum damage, invest in all three Nature's Echo levels. Echoing Forward Slash (Lv.1), Echoing Spinning Slash (Lv.2), and Echoing Stab (Lv.3) together mean every heavy attack is automatically doubled.
Nature's Echo damage applies even when enemies are blocking. Spam heavy attacks with echoes active to damage bosses through their guard, which is one of the strongest early-game damage strategies.
The echo combo (Forward Slash, Spinning Slash, Stab with all three echoes active) is a core damage rotation for melee-focused Kliff builds throughout the entire game.
