Usage

 * Use Shadow Form only around enemies that use spell-based snares (such as Ice Golems, Stone Summit Heretics, and Ice Imps).
 * Maintain "I am the Strongest!" and Soldier's Speed.
 * Use Death's Charge whenever it recharges to cover more ground faster. It also can provide a good heal.
 * Use "Don't Trip" and "I am Unstoppable!" to avoid knockdowns (such as from Frost Wurms, Azure Shadows, and Tundra Giants).

Counters

 * Aggroing hex users without Shadow Form up or with Shadow Form recharging.
 * Timing "Don't Trip" and "I am Unstoppable!" incorrectly in Snake Dance.

Variants

 * Dwarven Stability can replace "Don't Trip!" (Alcohol should be brought in this case.)
