Tips

“	Best equipped by Physical Basic Attack heroes that rely on Attack Speed and Movement Speed.	”
	—MLBB Equipment Tips

• Windtalker is ideal for heroes who want to improve their attack speed, especially if they have Inspire equipped.
• It is highly recommended for heroes who are heavily dependent on critical strikes and attack speed.
• This item is suitable for roles that rely on  basic attacks, such as Fighters, Marksmen, or even Assassins.
• This item is also perfect as one of the core items for high attack speed heroes to start dealing Magic Crit Damage to clean minions faster.
• It is best paired with  Berserker's Fury,  Great Dragon Spear,  Haas's Claws and Fatal to increase critical damage and critical strikes consistency when increasing lifesteal and movement Speed at the same time.
• Due to its Magic Crit Damage, it's effective against opponents who has  Wind of Nature and physical defense.
• Examples of Suitable Heroes:
  • Fighters: Argus, Roger, Zilong
  • Marksmen: Irithel, Layla, Miya

Unique passive mechanics

“	The Typhoon effect of Windtalker: duration reduces as Critical Chance increases (shortest when Critical Chance hits 50%), damage increases with Attack Speed ([maximum] when Attack Speed hits 300%).	”
	—MLBB in Special Terms Explanation № 10.1

Magic damage

Typhoon's magic damage scales linearly with attack speed and can be defined as:

${\rm{\color{Purple}Magic\ Damage}} = \begin{cases} (106 \times {\color{LimeGreen}ATK\ Speed}) + 44 & {\rm if}\ 1.00 \leq {\color{LimeGreen}ATK\ Speed} \leq 3.00 \\ 150 & {\rm if}\ {\color{LimeGreen}ATK\ Speed} < 1.00 \\ 362 & {\rm if}\ {\color{LimeGreen}ATK\ Speed} > 3.00 \end{cases}$

Time interval decrease

While critical chance can reduce the time interval between Typhoon activation and can be defined as:

${\rm{\color{Dandelion}Cooldown\ Time}} = \begin{cases} (-4 \times {\color{Orange}Crit\ Chance}) + 5 & {\rm if}\ {\color{Orange}Crit\ Chance} \leq 505.0\ \rm{seconds} & {\rm if}\ {\color{Orange}Crit\ Chance} = 03.0\ \rm{seconds} & {\rm if}\ {\color{Orange}Crit\ Chance} > 50\end{cases}$

Countered By

•  Dominance Ice can greatly reduce Windtalker's attack speed.
