| - Players have the option of either choosing a specific weapon style or choosing Bare Hands to fight without a visible Martial Arts weapon. Hand styles will still be visible.
- A common coleopteran military style, the 4-Fold path involves co-ordinating a crossbow, halberd, short sword, and shield in a bewildering array of tactical options. Stylists normally carry a slingable crossbow in their upper hands, an unready halberd in a lower arm, and a medium buckler in the other. They engage at range with crossbow shots, moving as they reload and counting on their shield and armor to ward off the ranged attacks of their foes. As they close to melee range, they release the crossbow to its sling and draw their swords.

| - A common coleopteran military style, the 4-Fold path involves co-ordinating a crossbow, halberd, short sword, and shield in a bewildering array of tactical options. Stylists normally carry a slingable crossbow in their upper hands, an unready halberd in a lower arm, and a medium buckler in the other. They engage at range with crossbow shots, moving as they reload and counting on their shield and armor to ward off the ranged attacks of their foes. As they close to melee range, they release the crossbow to its sling and draw their swords. In melee, a common opening maneuver is a cross-check with the halberd, followed by cutting at the arms. The halberd is used to cut at distant opponents or confuse or stab nearby ones. Coleopteran martial lore includes myths of warriors that can shatter stones with a halberd blow or jump enormous distances, skewering their enemies to the length of their halberds. Legendary heroes can also stand firm no matter the circumstances. Common stylistic variations include substituting a bow or sling for the crossbow, or replacing the polearm with a kusari or other heavy whip. Skills: Buckler, Crossbow, Polearm, Shortsword. Techniques: Feint (Polearm), Targeted Attacks (Sword Swing/Arms). Cinematic Skills: Immovable Stance, Power Blow. Cinematic Techniques: Flying Lunge (Polearm).
