Tempest Kick

Tempest Kick (, Swivelling Wind Swipe) is one of 's ether s in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is a spinning kick that fires an ether projectile. If used after Gale Slash, it removes one of the target's buffs at random.

Overview
Dunban has a poor ether stat, so there's no real point to using Tempest Kick as just a damage option. Using it to remove a buff is fairly cool, as there aren't many other ways to deal with enemy buffs, but there are usually better things to be comboing Gale Slash with. Its main use is off-label: Dunban lands facing backwards when the move is complete, so he can use Thunder against the foe he has targetted.

Additional data
Dunban ends Tempest Kick facing almost exactly 180 degrees the opposite direction, and will stay like that until he moves.
