Rules Q&A
- Q: can she cast it all by her self?
A: Not unless she has effects on her that provide enough of a bonus to her Chi to get her to 10+ Chi.
Yorimi cannot use her trait to negate her bowing for the cost of Illusory Defense and "bow" three times. Even if she could, she would still only provide 4 of the required 10+ Chi. Ben Higgins, "Soshi Yorimi with Illusory Defense", 16 Jun 2012
