ขงเบ้ง (ฮกหลง)Wolong Zhuge Liang

Locked: while you have no armor equipped, you are treated as wearing Eight Trigrams.

During your play phase, you may use any red hand card as Fire Ships.

You may use any black hand card as Negate.

Three skills that all point the same way: spend nothing, threaten everything. Stone Sentinels means an EMPTY armor slot counts as Eight Trigrams, so every Attack aimed at him rolls a judgement first — and unlike a real armor, there is nothing there for Steal or Dismantle to take. Never equip armor over it unless the replacement is strictly better; you would be paying a card to downgrade. Fire Ruse converts any red card into Fire Ships with no per-turn limit, so his real hand size is the number of red cards he holds, and against a chained table one ignition can cascade through everyone. Insight turns any black card into a Negate, which quietly makes him the best counter-trick hero in the game — he is always holding one, and opponents can never be sure. With 3 health he cannot afford a straight fight, but he rarely needs one: the maze eats the Attacks, the reds burn, and the blacks say no.
