It's like an Oniwaban in that it may change the way your enemy deploys and plays, even when it isn't there. While an Oniwaban was a giant risk to TAGs and other expensive order sinks while also presenting credible threats to light targets, the Liu Xing could easily become a menace to the enemy's support and command if these elements are left unprotected- or Heavies if you actually took the AHD. Yu Jing has always had top tier AD with the Tiger, but the Liu Xing will need even more effort to keep out and trades the vulnerabilities of Tigers and Oniwaban- MSV and Mines- for Hackable and a some non-visual defense. Because of this, the enemy will need to cover every section of their DZ with serious threats or leave windows for a potential Liu Xing right amongst their most vulnerable pieces.

I keep coming back to Van Zant for Liu Xing. Oniwaban changes the way your opponent tries to Rambo while Van Zant changes the way your opponent positions their mooks

Yeah it doesn't strike me as the tough nut cracker that the Oniwaban was. An Oniwaban was basically a delete button if you got it to work.

The Liu Xing looks more like it prefers soft targets. Yes, it returns some alpha strike capabilities that YJ lost but it's not an Oniwaban replacement.

Agreed.

Sure. And that's the problem. YJ doesn't seem to have a Rambo-preventer like the Oniwaban anymore.

Feeling a lot more elastic and "modern" in my list building and strategy options now in Vanilla Yu Jing.

Well done IA!

Is Yu Jing Currently Under-powered ?

Yeah, it's rough out there for a dragon...

No way, Yu Jing is full of great troops!
