Da Qiao

Reserved Flower 矜持之花

**Country Scene** 国色
During Da Qiao's turn, she can use any diamond-suited card as *Capture*.

**Displace** 流离
When Da Qiao is the target of an *Attack*, she can discard any card to redirect the *Attack* to any other player within her attacking range other than the source.

**Clarification:**

* Da Qiao's "Country Scene" can be activated by using equipped diamond cards or diamond cards in her hand.

* Da Qiao can use "Displace" by discarding any hand or equipped card. If Da Qiao discards a *-1 Horse* or weapon, she forfeits the range of the card before she chooses a target.

* Da Qiao's "Displace" goes into effect  before the weapon effects are applied (e.g. a male character attacking Da Qiao with the *Gender Double Swords* must wait to see if she passes the *Attack* to another female character before applying the weapon effect).

* Da Qiao's "Displace" is a deterrent for enemies to *Attack* her. If she has a member of the opposing team in her *Attack* range, she can pass *Attacks* directed at her to the other character. "Displace" can also be used offensively if one of her teammates cannot reach an enemy with an *Attack* and needs her to pass it to them.
* The seating arrangement can greatly work against Da Qiao's favor if she sits between two teammates. If she cannot reach an enemy in her *Attack* range, she will only be able to pass *attacks* to her allies, an option that she usually does not want to employ.

**Notable Combinations:**

* Sima Yi/Zhang Jiao - These characters are judgement tinkerers and can force the her *Captures* to fail for her enemies*.* If they are enemies, Zhang Jiao does not pose much of a threat because he can only swap judgement cards with black cards and not heart cards needed to make the judgement pass. Sima Yi, however, can make the judgements of her *Captures* pass, but this will often be expensive for him to do it to multiple teammates.

* Liu Bei/Gou Jia - These characters can give Da Qiao the diamond-suited cards that she needs to use "Country Scene."

* Tai Shi Ci- Taik Shi Ci's "Heaven's Justice" allows him to use two *Attacks* to *Attack* two people each time with unlimited reach. Tai Shi Ci can *Attack* Da Qiao and an enemy in her *Attack* range with both of his *Attacks* and Da Qiao can pass the *Attack* each time to the other victim. This will have the net effect of *Attacking* this character four (!) times in one turn.

* Zhuge Liang - Zhuge Liang's "Astrology" allows him to get out of Da Qiao's *Capture* very easily so long as there is a heart card somewhere in the first five cards of the deck at the beginning of the turn.

* Lu Meng - Lu Meng does not usually care if he is *Captured* because his "Self Mastery" can be activated even on turns in which his action phase is skipped.

* Lu Xun - Lu Xun's "Humility" prevents him from being targeted by *Capture*, effectively making "Country Scene" useless against him.

* Gan Ning - Gan Ning can easily *Break* Da Qiao's weapons and *Captures,* mitigating the effects of both of her powers.

**Final Remarks:**

Da Qiao is an excellent support character that can work well on teams or individually. "Displace" is a great defensive power that can defend her against the most common offensive mechanism - the *Attack.* "Capture" can be very frustrating to her enemies if she is lucky and draws several diamond cards during her turn. However, it should be noted that "Displace" becomes less potent as more expansions are added to the deck as there are more abilities that can cause damage without the use of an *Attack*. However, she remains useful.
