About: Initiation with cold calculation and vengeful thoughts is recognized as a spiritual brother of Sehk, the Crafty One. Along the strange, disorienting paths of his Blade Garden, Leaf Disciples learn to twist and distort their minds and surroundings through sheer force of will. Such distortion is not easy, and Disciples must expend an inordinate amount of effort in study before they can even manipulate the razor-thin, paper-light leaves of the Tree of Corruption.
On the field of battle, these leaves spin and whirl about a Disciple's head like a flock of angry sparrows. With an indolent flick of his finger, he can send them whistling towards an enemy's head or cause them to slice and slash at nearby foes. Enough small cuts can bleed the strongest enemy to death, and no Disciple ever seems to run out of leaves.
Usage: Leaf Disciples are the best ranged anti-missile units one can find. This is because all ranged damage is either Piercing, Explosive, Magic or Fire. And Leaf Disciples have very good armor against those kinds of damage. They also deal out Piercing damage, which is ideal for taking down Warlocks and Archers. So, if you can keep them away from Melee units, Cannoneers and Hurlers; they will (in numbers) be able to easily able to take down all types of range units.
Their BG is OK, though not as effective as Phosphorus Bolts nor the range of Zen Arrows. I would use Ninjas rather than Scrye Leaves for scouting.
