Before more complex maneuvers may be learned, it is important to know the
basics. In the case of legionaries, it usually means long days of shield
combat training or simply known as 'manner of lordliness'. When the manner of
lordliness is mastered, more difficult maneuvers may be performed. One of
those more challenging maneuvers is blindsided assault. Legionaries of Kharim
use shield to hide their sword-hand's position from view and thus blocking
vision of the enemy, thus making them guess for the next strike. When the
combat is rapid, every single second may provide a crucial advantage.
Blindsided assault is a derivative technique of tumbling attack which means
that proficiency in tumbling attack will also help when performing blindsided
assaults.
