Spoiler:

The user stands just outside the range of an opponents melee attack range based on their build and muscle mass and uses an intense killing intent to feint an attack. If the opponent lashes out Zafar responds by performing a quick wave-like movement at 15m/s. This movement recedes away from an attack like water in order to avoid damage before flowing into a flip away from the opponent placing Zafar 3m behind them.

So, I'm scrapping most of these, but I've already trained 2. So I'm converting those two into the new systems as new trained abilities due to the beta revamp rules~

Tier: D

Cool Down: 1 posts
Cost: 10
Description:

The user applies D-tier strength to their weapon creating a strong force as they turn their swordbreaker. This causes their sword breaker to bite into the opponent's weapon gripping it in place to prevent the enemy from pulling it free. While active, the user continues to apply strength to the weapon allowing to to move the enemy weapon unless they are able to apply equal or greater strength to the weapon. Requires 1 post of applying equal strength to an instant of greater strength in order to break the weapon free from the user's grasp.
