But I can strike only when I'm coiled. And I cannot coil in combat=>One strike/combat, if sufficiently time to get coiled(coil has lag). And, how long until Arrazn hurts me too bad to go and flee, strike has longer lag(2 rounds), so I'd open with it(if sufficient time to get coiled before battle), or use it as first move(unless situation would demand skipping it altogether), as I'd like to have the benefits of poison from the start(so maybe skip strike if he is already poisoned from the first time)..
