Trivia (May Contain Spoilers)

• Tempest Strike actually does blast damage over a radius of 10, but the game mentions this as regular damage. The game doesn't bother mentioning the blast radius value, unfortunately.
• Detonating Strike and Tempest Strike may have had their names mixed up as the names do the opposite type of combo. Detonating Strike primes with lightning, where as Tempest Strike detonates.
• Gears are the only combat items that share their base design with their upgraded design.
