1. ⚔️ Hongwon Drifting Blade Ryōshū: Skills and Protector's Stance Explained
- ✅ Ryōshū's skills have high potential values (13, 16, 16 normally; 15, 22, 24 with conditions met), typical for a modern ID.
- ✅ Use Def or Skill 3 on the first turn to gain Protector's Stance, a unique buff that generates Poise.
- ✅ While Ryōshū has Protector's Stance, she gains:
- Reduced incoming damage
- A Poise-scaling Shield
- Increased Aggro
- ⚠️ Outside of Mirror Dungeon (MD), maintaining Protector's Stance is crucial. In MD, where Poise sustains itself, it's less critical.

2. ✨ Passives and Synergies with 'The Lord of Hongyuan' Hong Lu
- ✅ Ryōshū performs an Unopposed Attack with her Skill 1 whenever an ally attacks an enemy.
- ✅ If the 3 Pride resource passive is active, the triggered Skill 1 gains +30% damage on Critical Hit and restores the ally’s SP.
- ✅ Synergies with 'The Lord of Hongyuan' Hong Lu: When Hong Lu is on the field and an ally returns to the field, that ally performs an Unopposed Attack with their Skill 1.
- ✅ If the returning ID is Heishou Pack or Jia Family, they use their Skill 3 instead. Ryōshū is treated as one of these when returning to combat while Hong Lu is present, using Skill 3 instead of Skill 1.

3. ⚖️ Subjective Evaluation: Strengths, Weaknesses, and Comparison to Heishou Pack - Mao
- ✅ Easy to handle with solid damage output.
- ✅ Reliably stacks Poise, especially with Protector's Stance.
- ⚠️ Can run low on Poise Count in very long fights, solvable with Thoracalgia E.G.O Passive.
- ✅ Comparison to Heishou Pack - Mao:
- Mao: High speed, maintains Rupture Count through Deathrite - Haste.
- Hongwon Drifting Blade: Lacks Rupture Count maintenance but offers steady Gloom resource generation, consistent damage through follow-up hits, tanking through Shield and Aggro, and ally support via passives.
- ✅ Mao is recommended for Rupture decks outside of MD. Hongwon Drifting Blade works great inside MD for Rupture/Poise or Pierce/Poise decks.
