SHIEN
Shien: Form V, also known by its two primary disciplines of Shien and Djem So, as well as The Way of the Krayt Dragon or The Perseverance Form, was the fifth of seven forms recognized as canon by the last Jedi Council for lightsaber combat. It was developed by practitioners of Form III who felt that the defensively-minded form would unnecessarily extend time spent in combat by forcing its users to wait for an opportunity to strike rather than create their own openings. Form V combat was characterized by power attacks and defense immediately followed by a counter-strike.
Gameplay: Shien can counter Gun Attacks, Force Lighting, Physical Objects, Lightsaber Attacks. This form requires any lightsaber to use. The number of targets Shien form offers stacks with the number of targets that some big weapons can provide. When you perform a melee attack, the area of effect attack bonuses apply only to the first attack in round. When you successfully defend a melee attack, you can immediately counter attack once. Unless class specifically gives this form, you need to learn Form I Shi-Cho Rank 3 to unlock this form.
