Zhang Chun Hua

Cold Blooded Empress 冷血皇后

**Unfeeling** 绝情
All of Zhang Chun Hua's damage is considered to be the target losing health. (Enforced)

**Mourning** 伤逝
Whenever the number of cards in Zhang Chun Hua's hand falls below the number of units of health that she has lost thus far, Zhang Chun Hua can draw cards until she has as many hand cards as she units of health missing. This ability does not go into effect during her discard phase.

**Clarification:**

* There are some situations in which Zhang Chun Hua draws cards from "Mourning" that are not intuitive. For example, if Zhang Chun Hua uses a *Peach* to heal herself, "Mourning" is activated before the health is recovered. For example, if Zhang Chun Hua has two hand cards and one unit of health and she uses *Peach,* she draws one card instantly, so she then has two cards and two units of health. "Mourning" goes into effect before the *Peach* goes into effect. Also, if Zhang Chun Hua is on the brink of death and saves herself with a *Peach*, she then draws until she has three cards, as Mourning supplies her with cards until she has X cards in her hand (X being three), but this power does not go into effect until Zhang Chun Hua is saved from the brink of death.

* Note that "Unfeeling" is enforced. Zhang Chun Hua cannot choose to not activate this ability when she causes damage to another character.

* "Mourning" can be activate when Zhang Chun Hua loses hand cards or when her health level is decreased.

* If Zhang Chun Hua kills a rebel, she does not draw three cards. Conversely, if Zhang Chun Hua is the king and kills her loyalist, she does not discard all of her cards.

* Zhang Chun Hua never causes elemental damage. Therefore, she never activates *Chains* damage.

* Zhang Chun Hua can damage characters with *Rattan Armor*. The *Rattan Armor* prevents damage from regular *Attacks*, but the character wearing the armor still has to respond to *Fire* and *Lightning Attacks*. If they fail to *Escape*, they are hit by the *Attack*. If Zhang Chun Hua is the source of one of these *Attacks* and they fail to *Dodge,* they receive negligence damage. Similar logic can be applied to *Blaze*. If Zhang Chun Hua damages a character wearing *Rattan Armor* with *Blaze*, they receive one unit of negligence damage (fire damage was never dealt to this character).

* The following weapon abilities cannot be activated by Zhang Chun Hua:

 Ancient Scimitar
 Longbow

* The following table is a comprehensive list of character abilities that are not activated when Zhang Chun Hua causes negligence damage from "Unfeeling":

* "Mourning" is a great defensive power, as it can be activated when Zhang Chun Hua uses/loses hand cards and when Zhang Chun Hua is damaged. It also gives her protection against card destruction tactics.
* When a character chooses Zhang Chun Hua, they cannot guarantee that any of the characters she counters will be present in the game (unless the king has chosen one of them) or if any of her enemies will choose these characters.

**Notable Combinations:**

* Ma Dai - Ma Dai can reduce Zhang Chun Hua's maximum health when he damages her with an attack, reducing X for "Mourning."

 Loyalist
 Rebel
 Spy

**Final Remarks:**

Zhang Chun Hua is a powerful character. She is a counter to many powerful characters with damage-activated abilities. However, as stated previously on this page, there is no way for Zhang Chun Hua to guarantee that her enemies will have these types of abilities. Zhang Chun Hua is strongest when she has only one unit of health remaining, as she always has two hand cards (three if she is the king with five or more people in the game). As such, if you have one unit of health remaining, it is often a good idea to keep a *Peach* in your hand at the end of your turn instead of using it to increase your current health level.
