Couldn’t disagree more with these rankings. Koi clan is hugely powerful, as are lotus and sun. Turtle clan is one-dimensional, as is dragonfly. Good, but not game-breaking the way koi and lotus are.
based on my experience, sun clan is super strong, but the rest of the ranking is pretty similar... The only games I saw Koi winning is when teaming up with Lotus the whole game.
Koi is the strongest Clan in the base game by Far. Turtle depends on being able to build the strongholds, wich is dificult to do If the oponents do what they are doing. Sun is strong because of the Lucky gods. They help him way more then moon. The Clan Power is secundary to that. Fox is not only way too powerful, but its hability makes you not want to play 4 of the 5 actions. It should be banned. Dragonfly is way too weak... Unless you get a specific Oni, then you brake the game...
Great video! Totally agree with your rankings. Koi are strong but not ideal for beginners. Turtle and Dragonfly are much better clans to give to beginners
I dissagree. I played the base game and lotus is sooo powerfull. If you dont play with the expansions you have a garantueed minimum 2.nd place in the honor track. In a 4 player game means that you as lotus or lotus aligned character can garantuee yourself 2 strongholds and my god them being in 2nd makes it so bad. Because IF he alignes with the first there is a big chance that in the 4 cards is a marshal and he takes it so lotus will have an additional stronghold then if the 2nd marshal also is then in the 1-5th spot you can use it the lotus turn to recruit aka you and ally get 3 recruits everyone else gets 1. AND everyone else cant play a single marshal for a fortress for the entirety of the 1st round not to mention that that even if both arent in the 1-5 spot lotus and ally still each get another turn to get the 2nd out of the system aka they have prio on marshal in 7/10 mandate positions in the Staple. And if you are unlucky theyll have both 4 strongholds befor the 1st war face

I like your clear analytical style. Would like to see some guides for the clans.
We agree! The Turtles are strong!
I think as the meta develops with a playgroup the more weaker clans like Sun and Koi might shine and turtles might be reined in.
I've played Bonsai in my second game ... and forgot that castles cost 1 coin too -.-
Still finished 2nd tho :)
red is first honor says so in the rule book

Very helpful info thanks!

lol #1 didn't surprise me at all, #6 did though. I thought the bonsai clan was nuts.
Simon there is a lore about clans aspects ? e.g. why turtle clan figures seems like Oni?
I dissagree.

No way! I thought Koi are OP
Really bad rankings
