Active Spawn: Spawning points with Active Spawn may activate during the Consul Turn in the same manner as 16-Bit Monsters. When destroyed they grant loot as normal for spawning points.

Fly: A model with Fly treats difficult terrain, chasm, and structure squares as open squares. All non-blessing tile effects in those squares are ignored. Structure squares do not block line of sight to or from models with Fly.

Retribution: When a friendly model is destroyed, one other friendly model with Retribution may immediately make a basic offensive action against the model that destroyed it, if able.

The Madoushi of clan Tanchyo have received the blessings of the Tengu, often even taking on the physical appearance of the Tengu themselves. They are masters of the wind, and use their magic to allow their fellow Tanchyo to soar through the air, getting them into the fight at impossible speeds as they race through the tree-tops.

The north of Kagejima is dominated by vast expanses of sheltering forests. Dozens or hundreds of feet above the forest floor, clever dwellings dot the boughs and trunks, connected by walkways and rope bridges. These are the villages of clan Tanchyo. Living in the canopy, every member of clan Tanchyo has become an expert climber and marksman, as there is no better way to protect their tree-top homes. The archers of the Tanchyo, the Yajiri, are both plentiful and exceptionally skilled.

Retribution: When a friendly model is destroyed, one other friendly model with Retribution may immediately make a basic offensive action against the model that destroyed it, if able.

For the Tanchyo, close-quarters fighting is rare. They live their lives among tree branches and rain arrows down on any who threaten their homes. But there are times that a blade is necessary. In such times, the Tanchyo call upon their Kaiken. Where other clans have swordsmen as the bulk of their forces, Tanchyo Kaiken are rare and highly trained. They are only called upon in the most dire of circumstances.

Retribution: When a friendly model is destroyed, one other friendly model with Retribution may immediately make a basic offensive action against the model that destroyed it, if able.

Clan Tnachyo [sic, as printed] form incredibly close-knit family ties. The loss of a member is an acute pain, and vengeance is always swift and decisive. The Kunoichi are those who have lost a family member in combat and vowed to seek vengeance. They have dedicated themselves to the art of war, so that no other Tanchyo family has to know their pain. All-out war on Kagejima has been avoided thanks to the Moon Court, but small skirmishes are common, and clan Tanchyo is very suspicious of outsiders, often leading them into conflict with strangers who stray too far into their lands.

Tanchyo Oni (Tanchyo Elite)

Stats:

• Armor (ARM): blue 1 and red 1

Keywords: Fly, Retribution

Abilities:

1. Cyclone (red 1 badge): Staff icon, Lance 6.

Card Back: Keyword Rules (Tanchyo Oni)

Fly: A model with Fly treats difficult terrain, chasm, and structure squares as open squares. All non-blessing tile effects in those squares are ignored. Structure squares do not block line of sight to or from models with Fly.

Retribution: When a friendly model is destroyed, one other friendly model with Retribution may immediately make a basic offensive action against the model that destroyed it, if able.

Tanchyo Oni are the physical incarnations of the kami that stalk the dense forests that the Tanchyo call home. They take the form of massive birds of prey, and they hold command over air, creating furious cyclones that can sweep their opponents from the trees they call home. Tanchyo Oni are particularly fearsome, and they are only called upon by the clan in the most dire and desperate of circumstances.

The Tanchyo are known throughout Kagejima for their archery skills, and the Chunin are those who have proven themselves above and beyond even their fellow Tanchyo. Each village only has a single Chunin. Sometimes this individual is a hero of a great battle. Sometimes they have proven themselves in an archery contest. But all Tanchyo Chunin are deadly opponents who can single-handedly rain down a storm of arrows.

The Arcade-version cards share this box. Arcade cards have a purple frame, an Arcade-mode logo in the bottom right corner, a single heart value (no skull value) and RNG (range) values in place of the Explore dice. The Arcade cards use the Arcade game terms (Solo, Priority, Solo Spawn, Attack command, Blue and red buttons for abilities) and are transcribed as printed, with the abilities as printed on their faces. The Arcade keyword rules are printed on the Arcade card backs below.
