I don't know what the stronghold does.

That really doesn't change my unsettling feeling, honestly. It may be my emotions overriding facts (probably is) but this just feels very powerful.

There was an image with partial text. I believe the ability is "action: If you have lower honor than an opponent, bow this stronghold - take 1 honor from them"

Hey - at least when we stab someone that's the end of it. We don't go all Maho and make their corpse dance around the room while we sell their name to an Oni "for the sake of knowledge"...

Unless they are traitors. Because then you'll stab them into a tree, and there is all that "eternal suffering" gig...

Best part is, it's no secret. You have to be a special breed of stupid to be a traitor to the Scorpion.??

Absolutely. I mean, I wasn't saying that as an accusation or anything. :lol:

(or... reading) :ph34r:

Anyone else notice the guy that harpoons people in so that Shoju can murder them?

Or the lady that switches stats, guaranteeing the lowest of the M/P stat is the one Shoju is targeting?

Also, the poison that can be attached during conflicts? Even 4P isn't safe.

Yeah... it would take some work, but there isn't a character Shoju couldn't kill if he needed to. Mostly you won't need to though...

Shoju is crazy now that we know what is possible in Scorpion.

I mean Bayushi Yunako makes him an absolute beast,

Fiery Madness makes him an absolute beast,

Yogo Hiroue makes him an absolute beast,

Way of the Scorpion or Court Games makes him an absolute beast,

Rally To The Cause makes him an absolute beast,

The verdict is that Shoju is an absolute beast. He's great out the gate and any one of many possible cards synergize with him to push him right over the edge.

Shoju takes a province a turn. Unless he has unbow tech, that's all he does, meaning it's four turns until victory, if he doesn't have unbow cards. In four turns the opponent can win first.

The correct response to Shoju, I think, is just to let him eat a province a turn and ignore him otherwise.

As if Shoju is the -only- card the Scorpion have... lol
