'''Advantages:'''
'''Advantages:'''
* Viper Kung's three-part combo is very damaging.
* Has a longer than normal stun technique.
* Similar to Snake Kung Fu, Viper Kung Fu has a Grab Break, a Miss Recovery, a rapid, and a stun techniques.
* Attacking a stunned target does a lot of damage.
 


'''Disadvantages'''
'''Disadvantages'''
* You need to dodge to start the signature combo.
* Lacks defense unless you are attacking.
* Outside of the combo, the style isn't very damaging.
* You need a crit to stun an enemy to start doing high damage.


'''Strategies'''
'''Strategies'''


Take every opportunity to land Viper Kung Fu's three part combo. The damage is worth the effort. This style lacks group defense and it might be wise to back off after landing a combo if you are in over your head.
The new Viper Kung Fu is the "bully" of the unarmed combat styles. It attacks repeatedly, looking for a critical hit to stun the target and then unleashing really strong techniques once they are helpless. Just make sure not to fight too many enemies at once or you could end up being the one beaten up.

Panzer Kunst is well rounded style that favors Perception builds. Aside from searching for CBMs to get the most out of the style, Panzer Kunst should work well enough in most situation without any extra requirements.
Panzer Kunst is well rounded style that favors Perception builds. The biggest draw is the Electric damage is added to all your attacks with Seinerweisen. No enemy in the game resists Electric damage so you will 'always' be doing some damage to armored foes, even if it is small. Aside from searching for CBMs to get the most out of the style, Panzer Kunst should work well enough in most situation without any extra requirements.

Latest revision as of 21:01, 7 July 2023

This mod, added in 0.E (Ellison) contains additional martial arts styles from fictional sources such as movies or video games.


Five Deadly Venoms

These styles are based on the movie Five Deadly Venoms.


Centipede Kung Fu

 One of the Five Deadly Venoms, used by Zhang Yiaotian. Centipede Style uses an onslaught of rapid strikes. 

Martial Arts Manual: The Centipede Lu Feng

Starting Trait: Venom Mob Protege

Style Type: Unarmed

 

Centipede Kung Fu Buffs

Buff Name Requirements Buff Type Duration Effects
Arm Block Unarmed 3 - Able to block melee attacks with arms
Leg Block Unarmed 4 - Able to block melee attacks with legs
Centipede's Venom Unarmed 1 OnCrit 2 turns +15% damage
Centipede's Frenzy Unarmed 5 OnHit 3 turns
Stacks 4 times
-4 move cost

Centipede Kung Fu Techniques

Technique Name Requirements Technique Type Attack Vectors Effects
Centipede Strike Unarmed 0 Offensive (Normal) Priority: HAND Rapid
Centipede Bite Unarmed 2 Offensive (Crit) Priority: PALM 50% move cost, Knockown duration: 1
Grab Break Unarmed 3 Grab Break
Disarm Unarmed 4
Armed opponent
Offensive (Normal) Priority: HAND Disarms opponent

Advantages:

  • Centipede Kung Fu is the fastest style hands down.
  • This style works really well with attack mutations.

Disadvantages

  • Centipede lacks damage and with a Rapid technique as a main attack, you will find that armored opponents cannot be harmed at all by your attacks. This is true even with Centipede's Venom and Centipede Bite.

Strategies

Attack repeated to overwhelm enemies with your speed. With a full stack of Centipede's Frenzy, your Rapid technique will only cost about 45 movement. You will be able to attack about 3 times per your opponent's single attack. However, armored enemies with give you trouble. Equipping the best unarmed weapon available and picking up some attack mutations can help but you might have to change styles against heavily armored enemies.


Lizard Kung Fu

 One of the Five Deadly Venoms, used by Meng Tianxia. Lizard Style focuses on using walls to your advantage. 

Martial Arts Manual: The Lizard Kuo Chui

Starting Trait: Venom Mob Protege

Style Type: Unarmed

 

Lizard Kung Fu Buffs

Buff Name Requirements Buff Type Duration Effects
Arm Block Unarmed 1 - Able to block melee attacks with arms
Lizard's Cunning Unarmed 0 Static - +2 Accuracy, +2 Block effectiveness
Lizard's Haven Unarmed 0
Adjacent to a wall
Static - +2 Accuracy, +2 Block effectiveness, +2.0 Dodging skill
Lizard's Perch Unarmed 2
Adjacent to a wall
OnPause 4 turns +10% damage
Lizard's Leap Unarmed 3 OnMove 2 turns +2.0 Dodge skill, +10% critical hit chance
Lizard's Venom Unarmed 5 OnPause 4 turns +15% damage

NOTE: A "wall" is any tile containing an impassible obstacle. Examples: Building wall, fully grown tree, the side of a car. Creatures and NPCs are NOT walls.

Lizard Kung Fu Techniques

Technique Name Requirements Technique Type Attack Vectors Effects
Lizard Strike Unarmed 0 Offensive (Normal) Priority: HAND Rapid
Lizard Tail Unarmed 1 Offensive (Normal & Crit) Priority: FOOT +20% damage
Grab Break Unarmed 3 Grab Break
Lizard Wall Dive Unarmed 4
Adjacent to a wall
Offensive (Crit) Priority: TORSO +150% damage. Knockback distance: 1, Knockback spread: 1. Stun duration: 2

Advantages:

  • Lizard Kung Fu has some of the strongest and longest lasting buffs in the game.

Disadvantages

  • Obviously, you need a wall to enable the strongest parts of Lizard Kung Fu.
  • You can easily be trapped by a group of enemies while using this style. Be careful and know when to move to avoid danger.

Strategies

Walls are a key part of Lizard Kung Fu. You can fight without them, but you will be at a disadvantage. Remember that anything impassible counts as a wall, including trees. Knowing when to move and give up your wall when you are in danger is important too.


Scorpion Kung Fu

 One of the Five Deadly Venoms, used by Gao Ji. Scorpion Style is a mysterious art which uses pincer-like hands and a stinger kick. 

Martial Arts Manual: The Scorpion Sun Chien

Starting Trait: Venom Mob Protege

Style Type: Unarmed

 

Scorpion Kung Fu Buffs

Buff Name Requirements Buff Type Duration Effects
Arm Block Unarmed 3 - Able to block melee attacks with arms
Scorpion's Venom Unarmed 0 Static - +15% damage
Scorpion's Intimidation Unarmed 1 OnAttack 1 turn +1 Dodge attempt
Scorpion's Charge Unarmed 2 OnMove 2 turns
Stacks 2 times
+10% damage, Enables Pincer Fist technique

Scorpion Kung Fu Techniques

Technique Name Requirements Technique Type Attack Vectors Effects
Roundhouse Kick Unarmed 0 Offensive (Normal) Priority: FOOT +20% damage
Pincer Fist Unarmed 4
Scorpion's Charge buff
Offensive (Normal) Priority: HAND +25% Bash damage, Stun duration: 1
Stinger Kick Unarmed 5 Offensive (Crit) Priority: FOOT +100% Bash damage, Knockback distance: 3, Stun duration: 2, Powerful Knockback

Advantages:

  • Stinger Kick is extremely strong and in open areas, it can provide a way to fight again groups.
  • Scorpion's Charge and Scorpion's Venom can provide a powerful boost to damage.

Disadvantages

  • Scorpion Kung Fu is heavy on knockback which isn't always the best tactical option.
  • The style is weak until Stinger Kick is learned at Unarmed 5.

Strategies

Stinger Kick's Powerful Knockback and large knockback distance are a great way to handle groups if there is enough room. The time spent chasing down foes that have been knocked back isn't wasted because the movement will allow Scorpion's Charge to fully stack. Also, if you can knock one enemy into another, that enemy will also be stunned.


Toad Kung Fu

 One of the Five Deadly Venoms, used by Liang Shen. Masters of Toad Style can focus themselves to protect against all attacks. 

Martial Arts Manual: The Toad Lo Mang

Starting Trait: Venom Mob Protege

Style Type: Unarmed

 

Toad Kung Fu Buffs

Buff Name Requirements Buff Type Duration Effects
Arm Block Unarmed 3 - Able to block melee attacks with arms
Toad's Iron Skin Unarmed 0 Static - Gain Bash, Cut, and Stab Armor equal to 100% of Strength
Iron Skin Dissipation Unarmed 0 OnMove 5 turns
Stacks 5 times
Lose Bash, Cut, and Stab Armor equal to 20% of Strength
Toad's Venom Unarmed 2 OnGetHit 3 turns
Stacks 3 times
+15% damage, Enables Toad's Tongue technique
Toad's Meditation Unarmed 5 OnPause 2 turns Gain Bash, Cut, and Stab Armor equal to 50% of Strength

Toad Kung Fu Techniques

Technique Name Requirements Technique Type Attack Vectors Effects
Toad Smack Unarmed 1 Offensive (Normal) Priority: HAND +25% Bash damage
Toad's Tongue Unarmed 3
Toad's Venom buff
Offensive (Normal & Crit) Priority: HAND 50% move cost, Knockdown duration: 2
Toad Slam Unarmed 4 Offensive (Crit) Priority: ARM +40% Bash damage, Stun duration: 1

Advantages:

  • Toad Kung Fu's armor will always protect you even if you fail to block an attack.
  • Toad Smack and Toad Slam are very strong block counters.

Disadvantages

  • If you are extremely good at dodging, this style is made obsolete.
  • Even with Toad's Mediation, moving around too much will make you weaker.

Strategies

Toad Kung Fu works best if you do not move. Every turn you remain still or attack will let a stack of Iron Skin Dissipation wear off. If you get surprised and do not have time prepare your armor, pause to enable Toad's Meditation to compensate. Toad Kung Fu can even handle small groups but only if movement isn't involved. Lastly, while Toad Kung Fu has a lot of armor, don't neglect your actual armor. End game enemies can hit very hard.


Viper Kung Fu

 A legacy of the Five Deadly Venoms, use by Qi Dong. Viper Style (originally called Snake Style) is punishing to stunned opponents. Stunning a foe with a Viper Bite will allow you to finish them off with the legendary Viper Strike. 

Martial Arts Manual: The Viper Wei Pai

Starting Trait: Venom Mob Protege

Style Type: Unarmed

 

Viper Kung Fu Buffs

Buff Name Requirements Buff Type Duration Effects
Arm Block Unarmed 1 - Able to block melee attacks with arms
Viper Patience Unarmed 0 Static - +1 Accuracy, +5% critical hit chance, +1 Dodge attempt
Viper's Venom Unarmed 1 OnDodge 4 turn +15% damage
Viper's Rattle Unarmed 5 OnHit 3 turn
Stacks 2 times
+1 Accuracy, +1.0 Dodging skill

Viper Kung Fu Techniques

Technique Name Requirements Technique Type Attack Vectors Effects
Viper Fist Unarmed 0 Offensive (Normal) Priority: HAND Rapid
Viper Hiss Unarmed 1 Miss Recovery
Viper Bite Unarmed 2 Offensive (Crit) Priority: HAND +25% bash damage, Stun duration: 2
Viper Tail Unarmed 3
Stunned target
Offensive (Normal) Priority: HAND +50% bash damage, Weighting: 2
Viper Strike Unarmed 4
Stunned opponent
Offensive (Crit) Priority: HAND +100% Bash damage, Weighting: 2

Advantages:

  • Has a longer than normal stun technique.
  • Attacking a stunned target does a lot of damage.


Disadvantages

  • Lacks defense unless you are attacking.
  • You need a crit to stun an enemy to start doing high damage.

Strategies

The new Viper Kung Fu is the "bully" of the unarmed combat styles. It attacks repeatedly, looking for a critical hit to stun the target and then unleashing really strong techniques once they are helpless. Just make sure not to fight too many enemies at once or you could end up being the one beaten up.


The Legend of Zelda

This style is based off the fighting style of Link from the The Legend of Zelda

Hylian Swordsmanship

 This rare form of combat has been practiced by many legendary heroes throughout the ages. Hylian Swordsmanship favors mobility for offense and defense by using spins, jumps, and flips to confuse enemies and strike from unexpected angles.

  • Spin Attack is the only technique in the style.
  • Using Spin Attack is slow due to needing Charge Up.
  • It isn't possible to use Dash Attack and Charge Up / Spin Attack at the same time.

Strategies

The core of Hylian Swordsmanship is its Dodging related buffs and the Spin Attack. Combat Acrobat sets up Flurry Rush easily, allowing rapid fire attacks for a short time. Properly timing a pause to gain Charge Up leads to heavy damage to a group of enemies with Spin Attack. If you can combine Flurry Rush with Charge Up, you can potential Spin Attack more than once for even more damage.

Geschoss Schlag Unarmed 2 Offensive (Normal) Priority: HAND Rapid
Grab Break Unarmed 3 Grab Break
Herzschlag Unarmed 5
Unarmed or Melee
Offensive (Crit) Priority: HAND 120% move cost, +50% Bash damage, Gain Armor Penetration equal to 100% of Perception, Stun duration: 1

Advantages:

  • The Electric damage and Armor penetration are really useful against late game enemies.
  • Perception boosts both your defense and offense.

Disadvantages

  • The increased move cost of Herzschlag can be problematic against groups.
  • You need CBMs to use Arm Block and Leg Block.

Strategies

Panzer Kunst is well rounded style that favors Perception builds. The biggest draw is the Electric damage is added to all your attacks with Seinerweisen. No enemy in the game resists Electric damage so you will 'always' be doing some damage to armored foes, even if it is small. Aside from searching for CBMs to get the most out of the style, Panzer Kunst should work well enough in most situation without any extra requirements.


Pokemon

This style was created from the moves and abilities from the anime and manga series Pokemon

Pokken

 Pokken or "Pocket Fist" is a strange martial art developed from the famous Pokemon video game series. Somehow, a group of dedicated fans managed to combine the moves used by various pokemon with multiple existing martial arts such as boxing and karate. Amazingly, it actually works. Some might even say it's a super effective way to fight. 

Martial Arts Manual: Pocket Monster Encyclopedia

Starting Trait: Pokken Master

Style Type: Unarmed

 

Pokken Buffs

Buff Name Requirements Buff Type Duration Effects
Sniper Unarmed 0 OnCrit 1 turn +50% damage
Stamina Unarmed 3 OnGetHit 3 turns Gain bonus bash, cut, stab armor equal to 50% of Strength

Darkest Lariat Unarmed 2 Offensive (Normal & Crit) Priority: ARM Gain bonus bash, cut, stab armor penetration equal to 150% of Strength
Mega Kick Unarmed 4 Offensive (Normal & Crit) Priority: FOOT +100% bash damage

Advantages:

  • Moxie makes it very easy to repeatedly kill weaker enemies.
  • Techniques are all crit ok and do not have any restrictions.
  • Mega Kick is one of the strongest techniques in the game.

Disadvantages

  • You need an unarmed weapon to block to get the most out of Stamina.
  • Aside from Mega Kick, most of the damage comes from situational buffs.
  • Lacks group defense.

Strategies

Kill weaker enemies first to gain Moxie then use the damage boost to deal high damage to stronger enemies. Don't ignore stronger enemies for too long though since Pokken doesn't have much in the way for protection.

Shii-Cho

 Shii-Cho, "The way of the Sarlacc" was the first form lightsaber combat developed by the Jedi during their transition from metal weaponry to lightsabers.

Starting Trait: Jedi Training

Shii-Cho Buffs

Buff Name Requirements Buff Type Duration Effects

Knight Training Melee 3 Static - +1 Block attempt, +1 block effectiveness

Master Training Melee 5 Static - +1 Block attempt, +1 block effectiveness

Shii-Cho Techniques

Technique Name Requirements Technique Type Attack Vectors Effects
Disarming Slash Melee 2 Offensive (Normal & Crit) Priority: WEAPON Disarms
Sarlacc Sweep Melee 5 Offensive (Normal & Crit) Priority: WEAPON Wide

Advantages:

  • High bonus block attempts of any weapon style.
  • Strong defense against groups.
  • Flowing Water and Sarlacc Sweep are extremely useful at thinning out groups.

Disadvantages

  • Lacks crowd control outside of the situational Disarming Slash.
  • No damage boosting techniques or buff.
  • Less effective against single targets than groups.

Strategies

Shii-Cho is a defensive style. It takes a longer time to kill enemies but it can handle group combat better than most styles. In group combat, you can let your Training buffs and Flowering Water handle weaker enemies while you focus on the most dangerous opponent.


Sublime Way

These styles are based on the martial arts from the Advanced Dungeons and Dragon supplement book: Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords.

Desert Wind

 Desert Wind maneuvers focus on quick movement and swirling, flaming strikes. The complex spinning and slashing of the curved blade incorporated into many Desert Wind maneuvers are in fact carefully honed gestures that evoke the power of fire, if performed correctly and with the proper focus. 

Martial Arts Manual: Scorching Sirocco

Starting Trait: Martial Adept

Style Type: Weapon

Style Weapon Categories: Maces, Spears

 

Desert Wind Buffs

Buff Name Requirements Buff Type Duration Effects
Wind Stride Melee 3 OnMove 1 turn +1.0 Dodging skill

Desert Wind Techniques

Technique Name Requirements Technique Type Attack Vectors Effects
Burning Blade Melee 0 Offensive (Normal) Priority: WEAPON +3 heat damage
Inferno Blade Melee 1 Offensive (Crit) Priority: WEAPON +7 heat damage
Flashing Sun Melee 2 Offensive (Normal) Priority: WEAPON Wide
Firesnake Melee 4 Offensive (Normal or Crit) Priority: WEAPON Impale, +7 heat damage
Ring of Fire Melee 5 Offensive (Crit) Priority: WEAPON Spin, +10 heat damage

Advantages:

  • Desert Wind has the most AOE technique of any style in the game.
  • Heat damage can bypass enemy armor.
  • Both Wind Stride and Zephyr Dance aid in positioning AOE techniques.

Disadvantages

  • Lacks crowd control and a grab break. Group combat can turn sour really fast.
  • Even though spears are style weapons, you cannot execute techniques with reach attacks. You must attack in melee.

Strategies

Make the most of the style's AOE techniques. The buffs exist to make it easier to maneuver around enemies to set up favorable attack positions and to escape before things get too dangerous. Because the style is focused on offense, it is better to target weaker targets first to thin the numbers if it looks like you are going to be overwhelmed. The addition of heat damage will ensure that you will always be doing some damage to whatever you attack.


Diamond Mind

 True quickness lies in the mind, not the body. A student of the Diamond Mind discipline seeks to hone his perceptions and discipline his thoughts so that he can act in slivers of time so narrow that others cannot even perceive them. A corollary of this speed of thought and action is the concept of the mind as the battleground. An enemy defeated in his mind must inevitably.

Insightful Strike Melee 1 Offensive (Normal) Priority: WEAPON Bonus stab damage equal to 50% of Intelligence
Greater Insightful Strike Melee 4 Offensive (Crit) Priority: WEAPON Bonus stab damage equal to 100% of Intelligence

Advantages:

  • Techniques do a lot of damage if you have high Intelligence.
  • Can attack multiple times in a row with Quicksilver Motion.
  • Mind over Body can offset the accuracy penalty from damage.

Disadvantages

  • With Pearl of Black Doubt, your success at handling groups relies on how well you dodge. Not dodging often means you do not get bonus dodge attempts.
  • It is faster to attack repeatedly than it is to use Quicksilver Motion in the middle of combat.
  • Diamond Mind favors stab damage which can be a problem against some enemies.

Strategies

Diamond Mind's attacks are faster than normal and will do good damage if you have high Intelligence. By waiting with Quicksilver Motion, you can attack repeatedly for high damage once an enemy enters your range. Pearl of Black Doubt and Mind over Body can buy you time against small groups.

Disadvantages

Strategies

The key to using Setting Sun is to know when to use the throws. The throws work best as a way to break up small groups of enemies to keep them from ganging up on you. Use the time an enemy is knockdown to kill a closer enemy before they are able to re-engage you in melee.

Disadvantages

  • Landing a Colossus Strike will lead to you losing your armor if you follow them.
  • All armor buffs have a limitation you must work around.
  • Limited style weapon list.

Strategies

Stone Dragon is aggressive. It uses its offense to generate armor allowing it to "tank" hits from enemies. It can dish out some high damage too with the right weapon. But it can also lose its advantage if it moves too much. Knowing when to move and when to stay still is an important part of playing Stone Dragon.


Tiger Claw

 The Tiger Claw discipline embraces a feral rage that lurks within the heart of its initiates. In battle, such warriors growl like wild animals, attack with a furry similar to that of a barbarian, and rely on overwhelming, vicious assaults to defeat their enemies.

Tiger Claw Techniques

Technique Name Requirements Technique Type Attack Vectors Effects
Wolverine Stance Melee 0
Melee or Unarmed
Grab Break

Advantages:

  • Can attack extremely quickly under the right circumstances.
  • Blood In The Water and Prey of the Weak let you go on a killing spree if they stack.
  • Weapon choices allow for really high damaging attacks.

Disadvantages

  • No offensive techniques at all.
  • Almost no defense aside from a Grab Break.
  • Relies on situational buffs for power.

Strategies

"Prey on the Weak" pretty much describes Tiger Claw. You can dish out a lot of damage with the weapons but most of the good stuff comes from critting or killing enemies. If you can manage to stack Prey on the Weak or Blood in the Water, you can do crazy amounts of damage. Try to kill weaker enemies first and use Blood in the Water to hit tough enemies HARD!
