• "Repayment" is not an optional ability, whenever Ahui Nan's number of cards changes outside of his turn, someone will get hurt.  Some situations include Ahui Nan being targeted by a Steal or Break, someone plays a Barbarians and Ahui Nan uses an Attack, or even someone uses a Harvest.  Both his hand cards and equipment are included, so if he loses a weapon, he causes damage.

• "Riding Fear" works very similarly to the Longbow, but both ways to members of Shu.

• "Repayment" makes it costly for others to manipulate your cards, deterring opponents from stealing, breaking, or even helping you.

• "Riding Fear" is a devastating ability against Shu characters, stripping them of mobility and evasion while also making you difficult for them to control.

• Even when not actively attacking, your passive retaliation from "Repayment" forces enemies to think twice before interacting with your cards.

• While it punishes opponents, you cannot control when it activates, which means you may unintentionally harm potential allies.

• If enemies avoid triggering "Repayment," it may not contribute much to your survival.

• "Riding Fear" has no effect against non-Shu characters, limiting its overall utility.

• You have no built-in protection or recovery, making you vulnerable to sustained attacks.

• Disruptive Characters:
  Teammates who encourage enemy card interaction, such as Xun Yu or Cai Wenji, can force opponents to trigger "Repayment" unintentionally.

• Card-Stealing Opponents:
  Against characters who frequently steal cards, such as Zhang Liao, "Repayment" becomes a major deterrent.

• Horse-Dependent Characters:
  Opponents reliant on horses, such as Huang Zhong or Liu Bei, will struggle against "Riding Fear" since their mobility can be stripped away.

King

• • Ahui Nan is a weak King since "Repayment" does not directly protect him, and "Riding Fear" is only effective against Shu characters, making him an inconsistent choice.

Loyalist

• • As a Loyalist, he can disrupt enemy Rebels, but his retaliation is indiscriminate, making it risky if he harms his own King or allies.

Rebel

• • He thrives as a Rebel, punishing the King and Loyalists for any card manipulation while stripping Shu Loyalists of their Horses.

Spy

• • His unpredictable retaliation and Shu-targeting ability make him a solid Spy, allowing him to disrupt both sides without drawing too much attention.

Ahui Nan is a strong retaliatory character who discourages opponents from interacting with his cards while serving as a Shu-counter through "Riding Fear." His ability to punish card manipulation makes him an unpredictable and dangerous presence. However, his effectiveness is limited against players who avoid triggering "Repayment" and non-Shu characters who are unaffected by his horse-removal mechanics. To play Ahui Nan effectively, focus on deterring enemies from manipulating your cards while capitalizing on Shu opponents' vulnerabilities.

Ahui Nan was a leader of the Three Ravines tribes during Zhuge Liang's southern campaign. As one of Meng Huo’s most trusted generals, he played a key role in resisting the Shu invasion. Despite his loyalty and fierce leadership, he was repeatedly outmaneuvered and captured by Zhuge Liang. Eventually, after being captured multiple times alongside Meng Huo, he was released when Zhuge Liang sought to establish stability in the region rather than exterminate its people.

His abilities in Sanguosha reflect his role as a stubborn and dangerous tribal war chief. "Repayment" represents the fierce retribution he and his people exacted whenever their territory or resources were disturbed. "Riding Fear" alludes to his cavalry tactics and the importance of mounted warfare in the southern tribes' skirmishes against Shu. Together, his abilities showcase his relentless defiance against Shu while punishing any who dare to interfere with his command.
