Maulstrom is one of Kiryl's main attacks and is already known by him when he joins the party, costing 6 MP to use. The shockwave is not affected by obstacles, meaning it has the ability to attack enemies through walls, and has a wide range.

• Maulstrom can be upgraded into Super Maulstrom by spending 8 skill points, which costs 8 MP to use. It can be performed by charging up Maulstrom for a short time. Super Maulstrom can be upgraded again into Über Maulstrom for 16 skill points, costing 12 MP to use. Each upgrade increases the damage and range of the attack.
