    Tap the ability to start it spinning, tap it again to spin it more if you want.
    When you’re satisfied with the spin, hit something with it.
    As a champion, if it’s currently your secondary weapon, you need to switch to it before hitting otherwise it will attack with your other weapon and cancel the spin.

      Ok thanks! If you spin it more than 3x do you lose your spin?

        You can’t spin it more than 3 times.

        Like the other person said, you get a few turns before the spinning wears off, so you can spin up while an Evil Eye is charging his laser while you’re behind a corner, and even if he takes an extra turn or two to actually fire it, you’ll be OK and can still smack him in the eye for a ton of damage. If you need even more turns for some reason, you can spin once, wait a couple turns, spin again, etc. Each spin resets the timer.

        It’s one of my favorite duelist abilities. The guaranteed hit is what makes the Flail usable. It’s too inaccurate otherwise and can’t surprise attack. I often augment the Flail for damage and only use it to kill solo enemies. At a high upgrade level it will one-shot everything in the game. I often pretend I’m sneak attacking by waiting behind a door. There’s no point in doing that, but it makes me chuckle.

            Nice! I had Scimitar with Speed augmented Stone Gauntlets. It was hilariously good. I could hit 6 times in one turn and then finish then off with Combo if needed, which was rare.

        Not 100% sure, but I don’t think so. You certainly wouldn’t get more benefit though.
        You can wait a few turns in between spins too. (around 2 or 3 turns? Check the status icon)

        The main drawback of spinning is you spend a turn doing that.
        That’s fine against a melee enemy that’s not yet adjacent. Enemies already adjacent would attack you while you spin, as would ranged enemies.
