In the game's words

How to use it

The Shaolin Master is a Chinese unit similar to an Explorer and War Chief. The Shaolin Master uses a staff to attack, and when his enemy falls below a certain amount of health, he’ll deal a Divine Strike blow, killing them outright. He guides the training of the Shaolin Disciple, overseeing the young student’s spiritual growth.

History

One of the most famous Buddhist monasteries is the Shaolin Monastery, located in the Henan province of China, founded in 495 CE. The edifice is associated specifically with Chan Buddhism and the martial art of Kung Fu. Monastery legend states that the Indian monk Bodhidharma visited the temple in 527 CE. During his time meditating on the mountain overlooking the monastery, Bodhidharma taught himself a form of martial arts to defend against wild animals and bandits. He stayed at the temple for nine years, and before his departure he taught his disciples the skills he had learned, creating the martial arts legend that surrounds the Shaolin monks to this day.
