I'm relatively new to Shenlong. The thing I was doing poorly was activating Sensei Yu 1st, so I didn't have model with chi token to give out fast. Card hunger was stronger than willpower 2nd big mistake is not remembering all the abilities on the upgrade cards, most importantly: "This model and friendly Aspiring Student models gain....." So when Shenlong has Low River Style, models in aura of 3" of aspiring students also give out the same aura. Wandering river monks no longer need to flip/cheat mask.

Excellent advice. I've assembled around 80 miniatures so far (90% of those were Malifaux, hard place to start ). I'm not expert in any way, but... What I learned is that mistakes happen, especially with small parts. And those mistakes are necessary. Expecting that everything will be perfect from the start is unrealistic. This video gives enough information for anybody to start messing with plastic models. You'll learn, get better and faster with every box/keyword... And when you look back, you can see improvement.

New models are always great. There's also a chance that with new expansion there would be a rework/buff on old models... and Yasunori might be back!

From relativley new player's perspective: -Minako box is great. Katashiro is great model and you can summon 2 on turn 1 (if you get the cards). -better option to Silent Strike is Fuhatsu box (or Miss Guided, single model). Fuhatsu is very strong, some say broken. I'm not good enough to judge that, but he's great. He will flip a lot of cards, severes included. And with Misaki's bonus action you can shuffle them back in the Fate Deck, leaving you with stacked deck. -Yasunori was great before I started playing, and got nerfed, a lot. I recently bought him in hope he'll be useful again some time in the future It would probably be better to look at Shadow Fate box, instead of Yasunori.
