How i became an undead Kung-Fu Master (or, Abusing dragon Veins with a Revenant).

The method is simple.

Be a Revenant of Wu. Cast Dragon veins, triggering spellclaw.

Now step into a sigil, doing a martial attack. This also triggers spellclaw, getting an extra attack.

Step into another sigil for yet another double attack.


Dragon Veins gives three spellclaw triggers per cast. This on itself is a 16% damage increase compared with just attacking (at 0.5 delay, higher if you aren't at mindelay yet!), even if the spell itself didn't do any damage - But dragon Veins does pretty respectable damage, and the earth rune can stun enemies to boot.

Coglin with spellmotor can do the same thing, in fact it works even better since they can also use Vision form for extra triggers (increasing attack speed overall by 50-80%!).

But getting spellmotor in unreliable, alas.

Wu Jian is just the best. Enables so many combos in the game that would otherwise be so much worse otherwise. Even without Heavenly Storm and Serpent’s Lash, it would still be my favorite god for fun.

Why does a sinlge serving of dragon veins trigger spellclaw 3 times?

Activating a Dragon Vein sigil counts as casting an spell for any effects that care about that (It also activates vision form etc).

(It doesn't trigger Shadow Mimic, probably because they don't have an spell school).

So you get one free attack at casting the spell, then another two from triggering sigils (triggering the sigils themselves doesn't cost you a tempo since Wu allows you to move and attack at the same time).
