I just need so tips on how to play against her ability, specifically as Crab. She's real annoying and the sole reason I lost multiple games. I don't believe Hiruma Ambusher works against it, and theres not many other characters or attachments i can splash in to shore up that weakness. Any tips?

Why wouldn't it work?
Tip 1: Ask in the General forums, instead of the Rules section.

Ambusher prevents a character from triggering their abilities. Guest of Honor doesn't have any triggered abilities, only a constant that is always active as long as she is participating.
I feel your pain, ran into her recently myself with nothing but event cards in my hand. Off the top of my head, Cloud the Mind is probably the simplest solution to her (at least if you're playing with any shugenja in your deck). Will be interested to see what other options are offered up.
Attachments are not events. I recommend hording attachments for when you are against her.
As crab specifically vs guest of honour I would push the military conflicts harder guest of honour o it has 2 military and if you are pushing them you force the crane to commit it to an attack that is less effective for it. Also it does improve a lot while the clan champion is out as this even more puts a restriction on the crane player.

No, no. You have to ask in the General Forum. Then, when you have the Community Approval®️ signed, you should refer to the Lore Subforum to know whether Guest of Honor should be played or not against the Crab flavor-wise, and once you got form 3.11-5 all check, you can come here for the specific rules question about how the card work and interact with Hiruma Ambusher, at which point you return to the General Forum. Of course, the Community Approval®️ will be already void at that point, so you have to get it again, but you should have the pink sheet form already, so it’ll took less time this time around. And then, we’ll start a discussion about how we can answer your question.

For some reason, I thought he was saying that he couldn't even play the Ambusher from hand.
Guest is the single most frustrating card to play against for me. Just have to throw everything against it.
Pick up opponent’s card.
Tear it up.
Opponent draws a new card and gains 1 Fate.
Solved. !!!

Does Guest of Honor prevent For Greater Glory being played?

Yes. Characters are participating until they return home in 3.2.8. For Greater Glory reacts to breaking the province in 3.2.5 (before resolving ring effects).
QuoteConflict Resolution
3.2 Declare conflict.
3.2.1 Declare defenders.
• 3.2.2 CONFLICT ACTION WINDOW (Defender has first opportunity)
3.2.3 Compare skill values.
3.2.4 Apply unopposed.
3.2.5 Break province.
3.2.6 Resolve ring effects.
3.2.7 Claim ring.
3.2.8 Return home. Go to (3.3).
thank you Khudzlin!
As a crane player I agree that guest of honour and the crone are both oppressive. But the gueat of honour is a character you have to plan for.
What I've found with crab is if the guest us attacking because you are not in control you have to do what you can to just not let it break they can generally win the conflict. But by being agressive you can force the guest into a military conflict which crab shine vs crane. Sometimes it' worth pushing maybe making your opponent believe you have bansai! Or charge which forces the opponent into using the guest which frees up the other attack to maybe void ring it to get it off the board early.
