Datsue Ba is in almost all my lists with Kirai.
Anna Lovelace is incredible against Ten Thunders.
Summoning The Hanged models are incredible and irritate your opponent to no end.
I've played with Goryo a few times, and each time they pay off for summoning them.
Izamu is nice to swirl him into models or for placement.
Yin-believe it or not, is a very useful model to lock down certain models with, especially since Kirai can shoot into combat without randomizing.
Belles....just can't go wrong, even after their "cuddle", they're still incredible.
Crooligans have become my favorite scheme runners. And they give -1 to wp for Datsue and Ikiryo
