  • Can be Bought with 5 Skulls

Players that want to experience like they are Storm from the X-Men will want to use the Current of air Belt since it gives them the ability to command the wind.

Merely, Robot Entertainment didn't terminate there since they gave this unique weapon a powerful secondary ability that allows players to option upwardly and throw light or heavy enemies (like to some Spells players can use in Rogue Legacy 2). As players can look, though, the Wind Belt is Mana hungry, and so players will demand to employ Heroes with loftier Mana Pools and Trinkets that increase Mana Regeneration.
