Zhenwu

Zhenwu

If you are familiar with Age Of Wushu, Zhenwu is something of a combination of the Scholar and Wudang schools, using twin swords and unique shadow clones in combat. Zhenwu seems to have high damage and a high skill ceiling, and has several powerful skills that allow for long combos and some of the hardest CC in the game. Zhenwu is not very mobile, and has several powerful skills that can be used at long range.

Skills:

Road Heaven and Earth

Your basic “auto attack”. A 3 hit, 180 degree arc that pushes targets back in front of you. Cast flooding immediately after to summon a clone that slides forward and knocks anything in front of you airborne.

Mysterious Return

Bread and butter PvE spam, high damage but relatively long cooldown.

And Light with the Dust

Ranged poke that can be flooded for a very powerful multi-hit dash attack. You will use this almost every time it is off cooldown in pvp.

From the deep

Ancient Taichi Fist anyone? Instantly drop a shadow surrounded by a stun field that will keep anyone locked for several seconds while you are free to give them the business.

Dawson Sword

Long range, high damage stun. Teleports you to target and disables them for a few seconds. Can be flooded for a quick knockup. Use on low healths bosses or elites for execution that restores large amount of HP.

On Good Counterattack

Free ~4 seconds of invincibility and damage reflect on a 10 second cooldown. Last skill you unlock.

Twilight Birth and Death

Long-ass fucking charge move that locks players and ends by throwing them into the air. Can cast flooding at 4 different point during the animation to summon a shadow to finish the move for you, leaving you free to hammer them with other skills.

Without a Trace

Standard anti-air attack, does high damage, similar to that of Dawson Sword, and leaves opponent laying on the ground. After landing can be recast to summon a shadow that performs an attack with a knockup.

Chong Ying (Twin Sword Buff)

After landing the flooding skill available after Road heaven and Earth and Dawson Sword 3 times, you fill a second bar on your UI that allows you to cast this skill. This gives you a 15 second buff that buffs one of 4 skills: Road Heaven and Earth, Dawson Sword, Twilight Birth and Death, and And Light with the Dust. Road Heaven and Earth can be cast 3 times and will summon a shadow to do the attacks with you doubling the amount of damage. Twilight Birth and Death is similar, and increasing the length of the charge and increases the damage A LOT. Use this in duels. Dawson Sword casts the flooding skill simultaneously. And Light with the Dust is amazing for PvE, allowing your character throw many rapid long range attacks.
