- Kiho Reaction: After a Ranged Attack targets a card in his army, bow your target performing Monk or Shugenja. If this bowed him and the strength of the Ranged Attack is lower than the Monk or Shugenja's Chi, it targets another legal target of your choice instead, which may even be a target that would be legal if you were taking the Ranged Attack action.

Rulings
- Ranged attacks with no printed strength have strength 0. [FAQ 3.8] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 56
- Treat ranged attacks that do not have a strength as strength 0. [FAQ 3.8] Accumulated Rulings, February 8, 2000, p. 20
- Q: How does Catching the Wind's Favor work against cards like Crystal Arrow, which are considered Ranged Attacks but don't have a strength? A: Like any other time you need a number that's not defined, assume the strength is zero (p. 26). Any shugenja with a Chi above zero can deflect a Crystal Arrow using that kiho.
