Overview[]
The Clan of the Snake. Cunning and deceitful, the Snake has little regard for fame or honor. Members of the clan prefer working in the shadows and using guerilla tactics rather than open warfare.
This Clan benefits from harassment tactics and an aggressive hit and run playstyle. Additionally, the Stolen Lore allows adaptability for otherwise adverse situations.
