Turn 5 Twister Strategies Compendium

[ChickensEvil]

From every video and source I've seen, it appears that it spawns directly on you and is quite large. I don't even really see how people think they're running out of it, maybe it's just the quality of the videos, but it looks way too large to run out of in any sort of timely fashion.

What you are seeing is two different things. The twisters that spawn on the ground are rather small. it is the resulting explosion that is large. I think that is why they made it such a small window to run out of, because it is so small. Just look at the two videos posted in the examples in the OP. You see these little tiny balls or whatever on the ground in the one, and giant twister explosions on the other. The OP even states in the explanation for how the mechanic works that it has a rather large effect that can hit other players, while not a one-shot it does do substantial damage.

So are there effects of the twister? A kill zone and then an area that damages outside of the impossible to dodge killzone?
