Chained blitz
Monk 1
The chained blitz technique is a method of chaining a sequence of
other techniques together, all taking place in one turn. Performing
a chain blitz takes 10 energy points.
The following techniques can be chained:
Chi strike (starter). Command "LLDDR" or "LLDDRDR".
Dash (starter). Command "RR" or "LL".
Elemental fist (starter). Command "UURRDDL" or "URURRDDLDL".
Power surge (starter). Command "DDRRDDRR" or "DRDRDRDR".
Pummel (chain). Command "LRL" or "RLR".
Giant slam (finisher). Command "DDDD".
Spirit bomb (finisher). Command "DUDUUDDD".
A chain sequence consists of one or more starter techniques,
followed by one or more chain techniques and optionally terminated
by one finisher technique.
Many techniques have two alternative commands which both have the
same meaning. These are referred to as command 1 and command 2 in
this spoiler. These commands are interchangeable but sometimes one
of them is illegal at a particular point in a chain and the other
must be used instead. See below for the restrictions which apply.
After selecting the chain blitz technique, you will first be asked
for the direction in which to perform the blitz. Then (after a help
screen detailing your currently available commands) you will be asked
for the blitz command. Each manoeuver in the chain you wish to perform
must be entered using your normal movement keys with the following
meanings:
Direction Manoeuver
North U
North-East RU
East R
South-East RD
South D
South-West LD
West L
North-West LU

Down >
Notes:
- Technique is reuseable after 500 to 1499 turns (random).
- "<" and ">" aren't used in any commands (yet?).
- Typing North-East is exactly the same as typing East followed
by North (but not the other way around!) and so on.
- There is no feedback while you are entering the commands which
makes it very easy to make mistakes.
- End the blitz command with a period ('.').
- You can cancel a blitz command at any time before entering a
period with the Esc key. There is no penalty for doing this.
Restrictions:
- You must be unarmed and not holding a shield.
- You must already know a technique in order to include it in a chain.
- You cannot repeat the same command twice in a row (but you can follow
command 1 of a technique with command 2 and continue alternating).
- Chi strike 1 can't be followed by power surge 2 (alias chi strike 2).
- Dash 2 can't be followed by power surge 1 (alias chi strike 1).
- The maximum number of techniques in a chain is:
technique level
2 + --------------- up to an absolute maximum of 5.
