Name: Moloch Style: Blade's Zenith
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: The blades of the Moloch Klinge samurai style come in 3 Sizes: Bastard Swords, 3/4 Body length, which gives it a +1 to the speed of all of this style's kenjutsu, Great Swords, Body length, which gives an increased reach allowing the user to add an additional amount of feet to all of the user's kenjutsu techniques, and finally Buster Swords, 1.5-2 times body length, which not only gives increased reach but also allows every kenjutsu of this style to be multiplied by a 2x (Medium S-M) distance scale allowing for much longer ranged techniques in comparison to other samurai. Due to the size of the blade the reach of the user's attacks are extended by it's height this only applies to Contact & Short range techniques however. For example the user of a 6ft sword uses a D-rank short range attack, instead of going 5ft it extends to 11ft.

Name: Moloch Klinge - Burden of the Blade
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: D rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: Moloch Klinge users depend heavily on the weight of their blade. Each weight allowing for a slightly different style of use. The lighter blades favored by beginners of the style and those preferring a lighter less awkward blade, requiring D-Rank Strength to use. Medium blades are normally wielded by novices used to the weight and desiring a good balance between the two styles, requiring C-Rank Strength to use. Finally there are the heavy blades, these are the most unwieldy of the three and cannot even be picked up until the user has reached B-Rank Strength. The weight of the zweihander determines if someone else's weapon would be either deflected (if the materials of the smaller sword are superior to the zweihander's if equal-rank or if it's a higher rank), snap at the point of impact breaking into two causing them to lose their weapon and receive half as much damage as they would have if they hadn't blocked (if the materials of the slender sword are equal to the zweihander's or if it's equal-rank) or Shatter while they receive the full damage from the swing (if the materials of the slender sword are less than the zweihander's or if it's a lower-rank).
Zweihander Type - Actual Weight Range (Weight Limit) - Spd Penalty Without Str
Bastard-Sword - 21 to 40 - 1-rank Below
Great-Sword - 41 to 60 - 2-ranks Below
Buster-Sword - 61 to 80 - 3-ranks Below

Name: Moloch Style: Clink
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: This style involves a process called Linking. This benefits or hinders the user depending on what swing type they choose to start, continue, and end a combo with. Linking only applies to Unrestrained strength as it requires the samurai to be dragged along with the zweihander due to the weight from swinging it. However if said Moloch style samurai utilizes their defense to root themselves in place it ends the link allowing techniques to be used normally without being subjected to the buffs or debuffs granted due to links. The boons or conditions granted all depend on what swings are used and new Link Strings can be created for a 250 Word In-Battle Training Post and consuming a D-rank Slot Each (with +50 for every additional swing added to a Link past 3). The standard boons and conditions of all combinations is as follows:
Horizontal -> Upward -> Downward = No boost or penalty for all three.
Downward -> Horizontal -> Upward = All three require Reaction equal to the speed of the swing.
Upward -> Downward -> Horizontal = All three can be dodged by normal speed.

Name: Moloch Style: Clang
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: Req. Moloch Style: Clink. This style also utilizes the flat of the blade, allowing the user to daze and stun their targets with the larger the target the more vulnerable they are to being dazed yet almost by consequence large creatures/opponents typically possess high level tiers allowing them to overcome their dazed state easier. When a victim is dazed they are disorientated resulting in penalties to their movement as they stumble while moving at Max Tier Levels while always falling if they move at Above Max Tier Levels. This can be offset however by possessing an Equal Rank Reaction+Defense Tier Chain, 1-rank Higher Reaction Tier + an equal rank Balancing technique or 2-ranks Higher Reaction tiers than the rank of the technique triggering the dazed effect. Stunning works by means of Linking, as specific links can add Stun Counters which when spent can be used to Stun an opponent for a single post, this likewise can be done during the Dazed effect or utilized to interrupt an opponents action. Stun can be negated if said victim possesses either Spirit Tiers (Hachibi Ability) or 1-rank Higher Defense Tiers than the rank of the technique granting the link able to gain stun counters.
Rank of User - No of hits to Daze Victims (No of Stun Tokens Req. to Stun at victim of said rank) - Size Daze count/Stun Token Price modifier
D - 11 (D = 1) - Small (Halved)
C - 9 (C = 2) - Humanoid (Normal)
B - 7 (B = 3) - Medium (Double)
A - 5 (A = 4) - Large (Triple)
S - 3 (S = 5) - Bijuu Sized (Quadruple)
"Z" (Reaper Only) - 2 ("Z" = 10) - Colossus (Quintuple)
"X" (Reaper Only) - 1 ("X" = 15) - Titanic (Hextuple)

Name: Moloch Style: Eins Hardening
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-rank (-1 Stamina Price for Activation)
Class: Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Self (Full Body, Lower Body)

Description: The Moloch Style take on Defense tiers, brought about thanks to the peculiar way they utilize their strength there was an increased need for the Moloch Samurai to be able to balance themselves appropriately so that while swinging their zweihander the samurai isn't carried along with it or knocked off balance, thus their resistance to knockback is greatly improved. To do this the samurai has to clench their muscles preventing normal mobility in exchange for completely nullifying damage from D-rank physical impacts including those with defense piercing piercing made possible only because of their hardy bodies and impressive strength. This can be done in two ways; either Full Body for full body protection and nullifying knock-back from D-rank & below techniques as long as the opponent possesses strength equal to D-rank+ or below, and Lower Body to increase the center of gravity and restricting it to the samurai's legs and footing while nullifying knock-back from D-rank & below techniques as long as the opponent possesses strength below D-rank+ so that they can swing their blade with Eins Swing.

Name: Moloch Style: Lifting Impact
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short, Mid (Knockback)

Description: The Moloch Klinge style samurai spins while swinging their blade upward at their target with the flat of the blade. If the blade connects with the opponents head they are Dazed (Dizzy) for 1 posts (total), disorientating them and thus causing them to stumble if they move at Max tier levels and always fall if they move higher than it unless they possess B-rank or higher reaction tiers. This technique sacrifices damage for improved knockback as one requires either D-rank strength + an D-rank anchoring technique/balancing technique to hold themselves in place or C-rank strength & above in order to negate it's knockback.
Restrained If restrained and the gains the perfect amount of force causing the target is only lifted inches off the ground leaving them unable to dodge a follow up if they do not possess a D-rank or above air-movement technique due to not being able to gain traction due to being lifted off the ground.
Unrestrained If unrestrained the user moves in the direction they slashed up to 10 feet, and send their target soaring 20 feet into the air due to knockback.
*Swing Type: Upward
*Link Effect - +2 Stun Counter if targets Head is hit by any of the techniques in the link including this one

Name: Moloch Style: Shooting Star Stance
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: One of the Stances of the Moloch Style all of which result in a slight delay due to the users of this style not possessing speed naturally and thus take a bit of time to position themselves correctly. With an emphasis on the follow through of a strike, the user applies more force at the end of their swing allowing them to send their target back further. This stance is indicated by the Moloch Style Samurai shifting their grip of the zweihander's hilt down lower allowing for a smoother transition of force trailing down from the hilt of the blade to the impact point. This stance boosts the user’s knockback strength by X amount of feet. X depending on the amount of strength used in the process.
D – 2ft.
C – 4ft.
B – 8ft.
A – 16ft.
S – 32ft.
*Stance Change Delay = 2 Posts (Total) [Instant if one possesses D-rank Speed]

Range: Self (Full Body, Lower Body)

Description: The Moloch Style take on Defense tiers, brought about thanks to the peculiar way they utilize their strength there was an increased need for the Moloch Samurai to be able to balance themselves appropriately so that while swinging their zweihander the samurai isn't carried along with it or knocked off balance, thus their resistance to knockback is greatly improved. To do this the samurai has to clench their muscles preventing normal mobility in exchange for completely nullifying damage from C-rank physical impacts including those with defense piercing piercing made possible only because of their hardy bodies and impressive strength. This can be done in two ways; either Full Body for full body protection and nullifying knock-back from C-rank & below techniques as long as the opponent possesses strength equal to C-rank+ or below, and Lower Body to increase the center of gravity and restricting it to the samurai's legs and footing while nullifying knock-back from C-rank & below techniques as long as the opponent possesses strength below C-rank+ so that they can swing their blade with Zwei Swing.

Name: Moloch Style: Launching Impact
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short, Mid (Knockback)

Description: The Moloch Klinge style samurai spins while swinging their blade upward at their target with the flat of the blade. If the blade connects with the opponents head they are Dazed (Dizzy) for 2 posts (total), disorientating them and thus causing them to stumble if they move at Max tier levels and always fall if they move higher than it unless they possess A-rank or higher reaction tiers. This technique sacrifices damage for improved knockback as one requires either C-rank strength + an C-rank anchoring technique/balancing technique to hold themselves in place or B-rank strength & above in order to negate it's knockback.

Name: Moloch Style: Heel Kick
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact, Mid (Knockback)

Description: The Moloch Klinge style Reaper plants their sword in the ground and then holds the hilt with one hand propelling the user forward at Bullet Release speeds. Due to the fact that they have a hand on the hilt they spin around the blade delivering a strong roundhouse kick that can be used to both injure and knock back opponents within 2ft with those impacted by the kick being launched back 10ft from the knockback said kick inflicts in addition to sustaining C-rank physical damage.
Restrained- If restrained the user remains in the same place allowing their body to come around full circle as if orbiting their stationary blade. The amount of force applied causes a slight pull toward the user thanks to Pause. Pulling anything within 20 feet roughly 5 feet closer unless they brace themselves with C-rank strength.
Unrestrained- If the user swings the blade unrestrained it causes them to propel downward legs first, as their blade continues on an arc spinning forward a full 270 degrees. This allows them to cover a distance of 20ft as they themselves are propelled by weight of the swing often landing on an opponent to crush them into the ground unless they brace themselves with C-rank strength. Depending on the type of zweihander (Bastard, Great or Buster) the impact deals D, C or B-rank physical damage respectively due to the weight the weapon possesses contributing to the landing impact.
*Swing Type: Downward
*Link Effect - When used in the middle of a link it nullifies the negative effects of links starting with Upward slashes.

Name: Moloch Style: Concentration technique
Classification: Taijustu
Rank: C-rank
Class:Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: The Moloch version of one of the most basic samurai techniques by which the Samurai concentrates preforming the base technique albeit with a twist by the means of this technique. Their fine tune control of their musculature allows them to bulk up causing their skin to be tinted red while their muscles become engorged resulting in them looking much more muscular than they really are allowing them to temporarily bypass the stamina price for multiple activation of their Hardening for a set duration after the first use of Hardening since they concentrated so long as the Hardening used is an equivalent rank or lower than the Moloch Style Samurai's trained Strength. However this can be reactivated after the normal Concentration Techniques cool-down after which this technique has a 6, 12 or 24 posts in total (respectively) cool down before it is able to be used again. Each time it is reactivated however with each reactivation it ends up lengthening the cool down of this particular technique by a set amount of turns.
Rank - P.T Samurai remains Bulk'ed up - Additional Cool-Down
D - 1 - 5 Turns
C - 2 - 4 Turns
B - 3 - 3 Turns
A - 4 - 2 Turns
S - 5 - 1 Turn

Name: Moloch Style: Drei Swing
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: B-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Upper Body)
Description: The Moloch Style take on Strength tiers, having been derived from the express need of a Samurai to swing their Zweihander with enough speed and fluidity that they seem unencumbered by the sheer weight of their chosen weapon. Moloch Style samurai have impressive upper body strength as a result of their constant lifting and swinging allowing them to swing their blade using strength in place of speed. Doing such can be done either Restrainedwhich allows them to swing with the mobility of B-rank Speed albeit each swing being backed with B-rank Strength. Or it can be done Unrestrained which gives them B-rank+ Strength but causes their body (When not utilizing Drei Hardening) to be dragged along with the weight of the weapon at Crashing Ground speeds.

Name: Moloch Style: Drei Hardening
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: B-rank (-3 Stamina Price for Activation)
Class: Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Self (Full Body, Lower Body)
Description: The Moloch Style take on Defense tiers, brought about thanks to the peculiar way they utilize their strength there was an increased need for the Moloch Samurai to be able to balance themselves appropriately so that while swinging their zweihander the samurai isn't carried along with it or knocked off balance, thus their resistance to knockback is greatly improved. To do this the samurai has to clench their muscles preventing normal mobility in exchange for completely nullifying damage from B-rank physical impacts including those with defense piercing piercing made possible only because of their hardy bodies and impressive strength. This can be done in two ways; either Full Body for full body protection and nullifying knock-back from B-rank & below techniques as long as the opponent possesses strength equal to B-rank+ or below, and Lower Body to increase the center of gravity and restricting it to the samurai's legs and footing while nullifying knock-back from B-rank & below techniques as long as the opponent possesses strength below B-rank+ so that they can swing their blade with Drei Swing.
