-Wu Jian is a positioning heavy, mostly melee god. When compared to gods like [[Okawaru]] or [[Trog]], the Council offers relatively few benefits to raw combat. Instead, the martial attacks and Serpent's Lash increase the effectiveness of movement, and it helps you avoid [[attacks of opportunity]]. Serpent's Lash should be your main go-to, as it has a cheap piety cost. You can either use it as a combat tool (2 free attacks at 140%+ power) or as a simple escape ability.

 If you want to fight multiple enemies, find ways to create gaps in their formation. [[Status effects]], [[Translocations]], [[summonings|summons]], or just killing monsters will give you spaces to perform martial attacks in. Heavy armoured characters who can use martial tactics and those abilities in conjunction will appreciate the presence of WJC.

 Stabbers may find the Council an interesting choice of god; martial attacks allow a character to stab multiple enemies while moving. Lunge lets you use paralysis or [[Ensorcelled Hibernation]] from a distance and guarantee you can stab them before they wake up. Serpent's Lash combined with Lunge lets you sleep stab enemies from up to 4 tiles away.

 Heavenly Storm is a great crowd-control tool. When used correctly, it makes floors like [[Vaults]]:5 and [[Zot]]:5 ''much'' easier to deal with. The fog prevents crowds from getting too out of control, while the combat bonuses do mean a lot. Even though it costs a lot of piety, don't shy away from this ability. If you drop to 4*, you'll still have access to Serpent's Lash.
