Next: Fleeting Strikes
Overwhelm is an upgrade to the Flurry skill for Rapier users in New World. Overwhelm belongs to the Blood Tree, which is focused primarily on dealing damage through Bleed effects. This Upgrade causes each hit of Flurry to do 25.0% more block damage. Flurry can also be further upgraded with Fleeting Strikes.
Active Skills for the Rapier increase in efficiency with Dexterity as their Primary Attribute and Intelligence as their Secondary Attribute. Investing into either Attribute will increase the damage of your Rapier’s basic attacks and skills, though you will see a greater bonus for investing in Dexterity.
