Fighting Styles
Martial Styles
Martial styles are the most
practical and useful fi ghting styles.
Though all infl ict damage, each varies in speed and damage
potential.
Strategic note:
Golems are immune to martial styles.
Magic Styles
Using magic styles draws from your pool of Chi. In addition
to doing damage, they generally cause special longer-lasting
effects such as immolation or petrifi cation (see pg. 20). Because
of the awesome range and power of these styles, only those
with high Chi can use them for long.
Strategic note:
Demons and golems are immune to magic styles.
Weapon Styles
Weapon styles have excellent reach and speed, but these
advantages come at a cost. Each attack drains your Focus,
making these styles too tiring to use in long battles.
Strategic note:
Spirits are immune to weapon styles.
Transformation Styles
To learn transformation styles you must absorb the spirit of a
fallen enemy—a rare occurrence. Although it exacts a signifi cant
Chi cost, this style temporarily grants you the immense power
and fearsome special attacks of the fallen beast you emulate.
Support Styles
Support styles do no direct damage, but their strategic use can
enhance other styles. Use support styles to slow down, stun, or
paralyze your enemies.
Strategic note:
Demons, fl oating spirits, and golems are immune
to support styles.
