— In-game description

Tail Screw is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.

Flavor Text

Karlabos performs Tail Screw by collecting turbulent aether in the tip of its tail, then unleashing it at once as a violent whorl that rips foes' lives from their bodies. This is notoriously difficult to imitate, due to the challenges inherent in attempting to control such a volatile aetherial vortex.

Tips

Acquisition Tips

  • This can potentially kill a Blue Mage in one shot if they afflicted with Slime. Be sure this is removed in order to survive and stay alive to learn the spell.

Other Tips

  • If a boss is immune to instant death, it is immune to Missile, Doom and Tail Screw.
  • Even though you can learn Tail Screw from Karlabos, it isn't immune to it.
  • Has approximately 10% accuracy.[1]
