Had this idea while playing yesterday with Crab. I think we all agree that Crab theme is defense, so they have cards with effects that trigger when winning on defense... but they don’t really have cards that actually help them win on defense (except maybe Stoic magistrate in certain situations).

So I was thinking it would be cool to give Crab a SH with a constant ability that makes them win ties when they’re the defender. And maybe include another lesser bow-ability to buff just one character in a defending conflict, although I’m not so sure if it would be too much.

When you’re the defending player in a conflict, skill count ties are won by you.

Action : While you’re the defending player, choose a character you control, bow this stronghold - that character gets +1 MIL and +1 POL until the end of the conflict.

You realize their stronghold gives +1/1 for each defending character?

Yes, that can only be used once per turn, and that most of the times means an overall +1 or +2 in the whole conflict.
