Rules Q&A
- Q: Yu isn't bad because players are using it wrong, Jeff. Yu is terrible you can't use on its own merits to pursue winning strategies. All the other Clan's focus abilities are "offensive assets," helping them accomplish actions that contribute to victory conditions with direct, reliable outcomes.
Lion - Tactician (military) Unicorn - Cavalry (military) Crane - Economics + Personal Honor (honor) Phoenix - Cheap Spells / Kiho / Shugenja (honor) Dragon - Card Draw + Duels (honor) Mantis - Naval Invasion (military) Scorpion - Dirty Fighting (military) Horde - Evil Monsters (military)
Crab - Yu (...)
Does Yu help take provinces? No. Does Yu help gain honor? No. Does Yu help get rings in play? No. Is Yu an "offensive asset" like the rest of the Clan schticks? No.
A: That would be why it's nowhere near close to our list of things to focus the Crab Clan on. Jeff Alexander, "post for 1 August 2002", 2 Aug 2002
