Biodata

Power Progression

Fishman professions branch rather than follow one universal sequence. The documented Tide path and Liu Zhi's training process are:

Background / History

On the Rogar'a plane, Fishmen occupied more than half the sea while seeking to establish a Fishman Empire. Their rapid reproduction and coastal attacks made them a major enemy of Fireblade City and the plane's kingdoms 310.

Liu Zhi first fought Fishmen at sea, then studied living opponents and corpses to identify their weaknesses 6 9 10. He later raised Dead Lake Fishmen in his Underworld and trained them for combat under Nasha, a Fishman Hero 237 303. His relationship with the race remained conflicted: by Chapter 1514, he commanded over three million Fishmen despite having fought them as primary enemies for years 1514.

Appearance

Fishmen vary substantially between clans and altered forms 12 310 615.

• Ordinary Fishmen have slimy-looking scales that provide protection comparable to scale armor, and vulnerable tentacles on their faces 6.
• The Surging Tides Clan's elite troops are larger than ordinary Fishmen and have seaweed-green rather than grayish-white scales 12.
• Mechanized Fishmen may have altered eyes, limbs, or facial features, including protection for their tentacles 310 317.

Abilities & Skills

Aquatic Combat

• Fishmen are dangerous in the water: sailors fighting them from small boats warn that being forced overboard puts them at a disadvantage 12.
• Their scales and body mucus resist ordinary blade attacks 6 10.

Specialized Professions

• Fishman Hunters use short spears and throwing nets; Liu Zhi's agile Dead Lake Fishmen also train with fine-thorn swords 237.
• Clan inheritances support professions including Tide Controllers and Crab Herders 310.
• Fishman priests, mages, assassins, musketeers, and other specialized troops appear across different Fishman forces 318 338 1101 1102.

Vulnerabilities

• The facial tentacles are arterial blood vessels and a common attack target, though trained Tide Warriors can harden them 6 10.
• Quicklime reacts strongly with Fishman mucus and softens their scales, making them easier to cut. It also affects Liu Zhi's living Dead Lake Fishmen 10 318.
• Striking against the direction of the scales can shave them away 10.
