   |description = This ability allows you to hone your Tekura abilities and unleash a full three-attack combo at once. You can combine stances, throws, kicks, and punches as one, including what limb they should strike.

 

 

 

 

 

  |description = Your training in physical combat allows you to dodge attacks with greater efficiency. However, the focus this block requires is a constant drain on both your mental reserves and willpower.

   |skillname = Slam

   |syntax = SLT <target>

   |description = Should your opponent be upon the ground, you can pick them up and slam them painfully back into the ground. This throw will also counter and end any momentum a tumbling opponent may have.

   |description = Your trained physique allows you to quickly dash in a particular direction until there is nowhere left to go.

   |skillname = Wrench

   |syntax = WRT <target> [<LEFT|RIGHT> <ARM|LEG>]

   |description = Your strong hands can now easily grip and wrench your opponent's limbs free of their sockets, causing tremendous trauma to that limb providing they are not standing. If it is already broken and damaged, then the trauma dealt is halved.

 

If all your opponent's arms and legs are crippled, they will be defenseless enough for you to forcefully wrench their neck and deliver a blow that will smash it completely. This will give them the crippled throat, smashed throat, and whiplash afflictions.

   |skillname = Dodging

   |syntax = DODGING <ON|OFF>

   |description = Your focus allows you to identify sudden attempts to upset your balance and dodge quickly out of the way. There is a steady drain on your mental reserves in order to use this.

You may not use the leg strike block simultaneously with this block.

   |skillname = Legblock

   |syntax = LSB and UNBLOCK LEGS

   |description = Base chance: 10%

You may not use the arm strike block simultaneously with this block.

   |skillname = Guarding

   |syntax = GUARD <limb> or GUARD NOTHING

   |description = Similar to the weapon-user's parry ability, you will guard a specific limb and effectively nullify all damage to it if you are unhindered. However, If you are standing when you guard the limb, you will also snatch your opponent's arm and twist it, disrupting their own parry.

   |description = Base chance: 15%

This requires a lot of focus and will have a constant tax on your mental reserves.

   |skillname = Backbreaker

   |syntax = BBT <target>

   |description = If your opponent is on the ground, you may lift them into the air and bring them back first down upon your knee, dealing sufficient damage to their torso.
