The Gale is a weapon used by Enoch in El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. It is the second weapon unlocked by Enoch.
Description
The Gale is a set composed of 6 projectiles and a floating ring.
The ring floats at the back of its wielder, enabling the wielder to control the projectiles.
Each projectile is composed of 3 shards grouped together, making a total of 18 shards.

Official description
- "All weapons in El Shaddai are forged from crystalline heavenly knowledge, wrested away by the fallen angels. Among them is the Gale, a weapon that flies freely across the battlefield like a looming tornado. Enoch wins back this long-range weapon through battle, cleansing it into a silvery wind that lashes at his foes."
