Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Mandate of Heaven

    Strikes her target with a direct skill hit and patches up part of her own march's lightly wounded.

  2. Skill 2
    Lion Rider

    Leading a city or stronghold garrison, her troops deal more damage, and more again against a rally.

  3. Skill 3
    Tears of Blood

    Tougher troops, with more defence and health, and a small chance to silence whoever attacks them for two seconds.

  4. Skill 4
    Legacy

    Leading a city or stronghold garrison, her troops take less skill damage and may gain defence when a skill hits them.

  5. Awakened
    Brightest Sky

    Her troops deal more counterattack damage, and a march that attacks them may take a skill hit in return.
