เตียนอุยDian Wei

Once per play phase, you may lose 1 health or discard a weapon card, then deal 1 damage to a character within your attack range.

Savage Strike is the most honest damage in the game: once per play phase, pay a card or a point of your own health, and one character in range takes a damage that no Dodge can stop. That word — unavoidable — is what makes Dian Wei a finisher. Eight Trigrams, Renwang Shield, a hand full of Defense: none of it matters. If a target is on their last point of health and inside his reach, they are dead, and no amount of defensive card-holding changes it. The cost is the whole design. Discarding a weapon is nearly free when you are holding a spare, but paying with health on 4 max is a genuine price, and a Dian Wei who burns himself to 1 to chase a kill has simply handed the next attacker a free elimination. Equip him with a long weapon so the range gate stops mattering, and hold Savage Strike for the turn it actually closes a game rather than spending it as chip damage the moment it comes off cooldown.
