Bai Qi
deputy (skill-damage amp)
Skills
Skill 1Let Heaven and Earth GrieveA sweeping smite blow on up to five marches in a fan; each one struck may take a little extra.
Skill 2Breaker of Battle LinesHis infantry move faster, gain a little health and a lot of attack.
Skill 3Ravager of Land and SpiritActives build Malice; once Malice outweighs the target's remaining strength he spends it on a smite hit and brief rage and wounding boosts.
Skill 4Martial CultureMore normal damage; against field marches his smite damage grows as his own troop thins out, and losses feed Malice.
AwakenedBlood Upon BloodOn the map, deep losses trigger short bursts of much more damage dealt and much less taken; heavy wounding adds normal damage.
