Martial arts
Tear a tree from the earth and bring it down beside you: heavy damage across a cross of five tiles, foes knocked back a tile.
Sinew like iron, worn like cloth. Defense +2.
Drunk on Mount Wutai, he knocked over the very guardian statues at the temple gate: a crushing blow on one foe, knocked back a tile.
The lion's roar shakes the field! Foes within 2 tiles are dragged right up to him. Gather them, and end them.
The uprooted willow goes mad: a 3×3 beside him is shattered and the crowd hurled back.
Ultimate
The Vajra descends! Foes all around are crushed and hurled back; then a round of adamant flesh — blades and blows glance off (physical damage only).
Joint arts
The staff that saved a life, the lance that avenged one. Together they become a blizzard: five strikes sweep everyone near, all hurled two tiles.
Back to back on Twin Dragon Mountain: staff subdues the dragon, blade tames the tiger. Everyone within 2 tiles takes grievous wounds and flies three tiles.
