''They should have known the rule: never corner a Duelist. He was surrounded by four hulking brutes, each one uglier than the one before. They had come for the fine mail tunic he wore, but he had given them nothing but insults and injury. As the Duelist fought, his speed grew more frenetic, until he was a blur of whirling steel. After a time though, superior numbers took their toll, and the attackers began to find openings. With blood oozing from a dozen wounds, the Duelist gathered himself for one final assault. He waited until just the right moment, right as his foes rushed in for the kill.''
'''Flicker Strike''' is a [[melee]] [[attack]] skill that teleports the character to a nearby enemy and strikes it with their weapon and grants increased movement speed for a short time. If no specific monster is chosen, one is picked at random. The skill has a cooldown that can be bypassed by expending a [[Frenzy Charge]] and has a chance to generate a Frenzy Charge when used.
''There was a flash, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly appeared behind the first assailant, plunging his sword to the hilt in the exposed neck. Then he was beheading the second in one quick swipe. Then the third fell with a shriek, his bowels spilling onto the cobblestones. The fourth turned to run, and found himself facing the Duelist, who met his momentum with a stab through the heart. Spent, panting on the ground, the victor wiped his blade clean, and recorded four more kills with Flicker Strike.''
==Skill Functions and Interactions==
The character is considered to be stationary while flickering for the purpose of receiving buffs such as the [[Inexorable]] notable passive skill, and that they have moved each time they flickered. For this reason the character never benefits from "while moving" buffs, and the timers for scaling stationary buffs are continuously reset.<ref>https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1952961</ref>
Teleports the character to a nearby monster and attacks it with a melee weapon. If no specific monster is chosen, one is picked at random.
Minimum [[Frenzy Charges]] cannot be consumed to bypass the cooldown.
==Gem Levelling==
[[Dual Wielding]] while using Flicker Strike will cause the player to alternate weapons each attack.
Flicker Strike can target an enemy within a [[distance]] of 4 meters by default. This is unaffected by modifiers to [[area of effect]]. Modifiers to Melee Strike [[Range#Attack Range and Area of Effect Radius|Range]] have no special interaction with teleports: you will neither "land" farther from the target when you flicker, nor will you be able to initiate an attack from farther away.
