The mysterious wanderer Arashikage is consumed by his quest for vengeance. it is said that when one sets out for revenge they should dig two graves. For Arashikage this is a simple truth that he has made his peace with some time ago. For the right price Arashikage will use his hard won skills to help your team in the Moonlight Tournament, so long as he feels it brings him closer to his target.

Arashikage combines decent movement with monstrous attack potential. If he attacks from elevated terrain against a ninja on the ground he will have a whopping 7 dice. Watch out!

His array of keyword abilities can be especially nasty as well:

Close Combat Master: A ninja with Close Combat Master may reroll a single die during a non-ranged Attack.

Combined Attack: When a ninja with Combined Attack assists a friendly ninja that is attacking, the attacker gets +2 AT instead of +1.

Entangle: A ninja with Entangle has an influence zone anywhere within 2 spaces of the ninja.

Leap: While moving, once per turn, a ninja with Leap may move up onto elevated terrain by paying only 1 movement point or move over another model.

Resilient: When a ninja with Resilient is Injured or Stunned roll a die. If any of the ninja’s affinities are rolled then injured is downgraded to Stunned, or Stunned is downgraded to nothing happening to the Resilient ninja.

Ronin: Ninja with Ronin follow all of the rules for ninja with Hero. Additionally, a team must pay Ronin a fee after each game so that they will stay with the team. This fee is a number of Koban listed after the slash on the model’s cost.

Since Ronin references Hero lets include that as well for the sake of completeness.

Hero: Ninja with Hero cannot gain XP, cannot increase their attributes, and cannot get new Keywords during league play. Heroes are unique characters and can only be included in a team once.

Arashikage can play good zone defense with Entangle and Combined Attack to support his team mates. By lurking in the middle of your formation or around the edges of the action wherever he can get up on to elevated terrain Arashikage can bide his time making ranged attacks until he can make a few devastating Cobra Strikes from an elevated position. Only 4 other ninja in the game have an attack as high as Arashikage’s making him one of the most powerful offensive options available.
