Also even dropping a flexible body and gaining some momentum first turn sets you up with some defense for 2nd turn.
Also a reversal based deck with her could be pretty nice.
And im not going to mention (ok actually i guess i am) the shennanigans she can do first turn with kunai, chain throw, shinobi tradition, vast resources and the like.
I wasn't saying she is total broken now or anything....but IMO it will only be a matter of time before she is doing things that makes people "reexamine" her.
If anyone wants to randomly build a Xianghua with off-symbol stuff on the off-chance that one of her attacks deals damage and she happens to have the foundation in hand, more power to them, honestly. The element of surprise should be her strong point.
