Zhuge Liang cannot be targeted by any delay tool cards.
When Zhuge Liang copies the abilities of a king character, he also gains their king ability. However, these king abilities are only effective if Zhuge Liang himself is the king.
For instance, if Zhuge Liang copies Cao Cao’s abilities and is the king, he can use "Escort," but only members of Wei (not the Demon Kingdom) can play an Escape for him.
If Zhuge Liang gains or uses tokens (e.g., Rage Tokens from Forest Lu Bu) while mimicking another character, these tokens persist even after he switches to a different character. However, the tokens become inactive unless Zhuge Liang switches back to the original character with the relevant ability.
Zhuge Liang can use single-use abilities from copied characters, but only once per game. If he switches away from and back to a character, the single-use ability remains unavailable after its initial activation.
"Oracle" prevents Zhuge Liang from being targeted by all delay tool cards, including beneficial ones. If Zhuge Liang draws a Lightning, he cannot play it, and it will skip over him if already in play.

Single Use Characters:
