Sea Serpent: venom from the deep

Sea Serpent cultivates venom drawn from creatures of the deep: sea snakes, jellyfish and stonefish. Its warriors rarely need to touch their enemies.

Playstyle

Sea Serpent is the poison specialist of the four sects of the sea. Its martial arts apply damage over time and strike from range with hidden weapons, wearing enemies down while staying out of reach of heavy melee fighters like Sea Hawk.

• Role: ranged damage over time and assassin
• Strengths: sustained poison damage, range, punishing slow targets
• Weaknesses: fragile if caught in close combat; damage takes time to land

Venom and counters

Poison is a real threat in Before the Storm, which is why the world also contains remedies that cure it. Learning when to cleanse and when to press the attack is part of fighting with or against Sea Serpent.
