Cyclone Strike Turns Enemies Into Easy Prey

The Bindings of the Lesser Gods cleverly chain two Monk skills together: enemies you hit with Cyclone Strike then take significantly more damage from your mystic ally for a few seconds. If you run the fire variant with split allies, the bonus comes out even heftier.

The bracers are the heart of ally-focused Monk builds that rest their damage on the mystic companion and on pulling enemies in tight. Tip: Use Cyclone Strike not only to bunch enemies up but also as a constant amplifier right before your ally's damage window. Keep foes clumped together with the pull so as many as possible sit under the boosted damage at once and your ally cuts them down in a row.

Roll range and Fire Allies

The bonus rolls between 150 and 200% and lasts 5 seconds after each hit. A copy at 157% sits at the low end, while a Primal Ancient delivers the full 200%. Split Fire Allies get three times the value, so every point in the roll counts triple for them. Since the mark expires after 5 seconds, repeat Cyclone Strike on that rhythm.

The right rune for Cyclone Strike

Cyclone Strike costs 50 Spirit and pulls up to 16 enemies within 24 yards. The runes shape the pull to fit your needs:

  • Implosion extends the pull distance to 34 yards, catching more enemies for the bonus.
  • Eye of the Storm cuts the cost to 26 Spirit, which helps you keep the 5-second window up without gaps.
  • Soothing Breeze heals you and nearby allies with every cast.
  • Wall of Wind briefly freezes pulled enemies, while Sunburst adds a fiery explosion.

Stats and partners

Every copy carries 4.5–6% Critical Hit Chance; for the main stat, a Monk wants Dexterity at 416 to 500 points. It works from the armor slot of Kanai's Cube as well. The bracers are frequently paired with The Crudest Boots, Convention of Elements, Squirt's Necklace, Pinto's Pride, the ring Unity and Kyoshiro's Blade.
