Justicars are trained in the martial discipline known as Tsar Quen. Tsar Quen is a unique combat style that allows the Justicars to make use of the shields granted to them by Axa to perform a variety of devastating attacks. These include special combo abilities that are especially effective when performed in the proper sequence.
Tsar Quen requires a practitioner who is skilled in both concentration and martial arts, and they also frequently rely on brawling, although other requirements are possible for individual maneuvers.

Tsar Quen Maneuvers
These maneuvers are unlocked based on your concentration skill and follow the typical progression pattern for Justicars. Mercurial Impact unlocks at 80, Essence Smash and Manichean Blow at 150, Resolute Assault and Steel Avalanche at 200, and Structural Explosion at 250. Martial arts may also plays a role in unlocking; however, extremely high martial arts skill will not bypass the Concentration requirements. All of the attack ratings scale primarily based on Strength, Agility, Shield, Martial Arts, and Brawling while damage ratings are based primarily on Strength, Agility, Martial Arts, Brawling, Massive Blow, and Killer Instinct.
Essence Smash, Manichean Blow and Structural Explosion have per hit spirit requirements (seems to be 10sp per hit for Essence Smash, 50sp per hit for Structural Explosion).
Mercurial Impact
Usage: perform mercurial impact [at <target>] Activity Cost: 1/2 of shield attack activity cost

perform manichean blow [at <target>] Activity Cost For You: 16
This maneuver allows you to call up the qlippotic or sephirotic energies within you to enhance your attack.

Usage: perform resolute assault [at <target>]
A slow, but strong attack. When executed in sequence following mercurial impact, the opponent will be disoriented, slowing them temporarily.

Unleash a quick attack against your opponent. When performed after resolute assault, at the end of a combo chain, it is possible to perform multiple attacks before your opponent regains balance.

Charge energy into a enemy through your shield, causing a secondary explosion hurting all hostile targets.
