The Martial Arts In 9Dragons

Kung Fu is a martial art that allows the artist to summon one's vital energy to perform feats of combat that are far beyond the capabilities of an untrained warrior. The Kung fu techniques can be included in two groups:

1- Kung Fu skills, which utilize Vital Energy for physical and direct attacks. This group includes the next categories:
- Active Kung Fu. These techniques consist of three moves when mastered, but only one upon completion of your training:
You will be able to perform the first move of the technique as soon as you learn the skill.
When the technique reaches Cheng 3 you will unlock the second move and it will be automatically executed.
When the technique reaches Cheng 5 the third move will be unlocked and automatically executed as you witnessed them during your training.

- Smashing Kung Fu techniques are more powerful than Active Kung Fu techniques. They have specified cooldown times and once you have used them you will then revert to your last Active Kung Fu technique.

- Finishing Kung Fu techniques are the only long range Kung Fu moves available to warriors. Pressing the shortcut key will power up these techniques and once you release the key your charge will be cast. Please note that Finishing Kung Fu techniques cannot be used if the enemy has closed within a certain range.

- To use a Charged Kung Fu technique, press the shortcut key and you will see your Vital Energy flowing as you power up. Once you release the key your charge will be cast. Most Charged Kung Fu techniques require a cooldown period before they can be recast. Some classes may not have chargeable techniques.

2- Chi Kung Skills, which utilize Vital Energy for healing or for long distance attacks, will also gain power and evolve as your Cheng (skill level) increases.

The Chi Kung categories are:
- Rounding Chi Kung techniques, like palm blasts, are favored by Chi Kung users because they can be cast quickly and require little cooldown time.

- Casting Chi Kung techniques, which may be even more powerful than Rounding Chi Kung techniques, take longer to cast and require longer cooldown periods. Pressing the shortcut key will power up these techniques and once you release the key your charge will be cast.

- Channeling Chi Kung techniques generally are cast instantly. Though once begun, the Channeling Chi Kung technique will be cast continuously until it is canceled .
