• "Tactics" activates at the very beginning of the turn, choosing one of the two effects.

• If he selects the first option, his attack range immediately increases by 1, and any Attack he plays that is red cannot be evaded by any Escape card unless it is a heart card.

• If Wang Ping attacks someone with the Eight Trigrams after using the first option, the target will still get to perform a judgment.  If the judgment is a heart, however, it will fail due to "Tactics".

• If he selects the second option, his hand limit increases by 1 for that turn. Additionally, any red non-delayed tool card he uses (such as Duel or Steal) cannot be Negated.

• If Wang Ping selects the second option, the increased hand limit lasted through the entire turn. He will be able to hold the extra card during his discard phase.

• He cannot switch between the two effects during the same turn; the one he chooses at the start of his turn remains active until the end of that turn.

• This ability can only be activated once per turn, but he is free to choose a different effect at the start of each new turn.

• Wang Ping’s ability to choose between increasing his attack power or boosting his card control makes him adaptable. He can tailor his playstyle to meet the demands of each turn.

• By selecting the first option in "Tactics," Wang Ping increases his attack range and makes his red Attacks difficult to evade, giving him an advantage when he needs to apply pressure on opponents.

• The second option provides Wang Ping with an additional card in hand and ensures that his red tool cards, like Duel or Steal, go through without being countered by Negate. This allows him to disrupt opponents or protect his own position effectively.

• Wang Ping can only choose one effect per turn, which means he cannot simultaneously boost his offense and improve his tactical defenses. This forces him to decide carefully based on the game situation.

• His abilities are significantly more effective when he has red cards in hand. If Wang Ping does not have access to red Attacks or tool cards, his options become more limited.

• Weapon-Boosted Attackers:
  When Wang Ping chooses the attack-boosting option in "Tactics," his power is further enhanced by weapons like the Serpent Spear. These weapons increase his range or damage output, and combined with his ability to bypass most Escapes, Wang Ping becomes a formidable force.

• Tactic-Focused Allies:
  Wang Ping pairs well with characters who focus on tactic cards, such as Fire Zhuge Liang. His ability to make red tactic cards uncounterable gives his team a strategic edge, allowing critical cards to go through even against defensive players.

• Defensive Strategists:
  Characters known for their defensive play, like Zhen Ji, can be threatened by Wang Ping’s ability to prevent most Escapes. If Wang Ping focuses on card control and tactic use, he can flank their defensive abilities with uncounterable tactics.

King

• • As King, Wang Ping is not a reliable leader. His ability only activates during his turn rendering him without recourse between those turns.  

Loyalist

• • As a Loyalist, Wang Ping supports his King with flexibility. He can either take the offensive to weaken Rebels or strengthen his hand to play crucial cards in defense of the King’s position.

Rebel

• • Wang Ping’s increased attack range and difficult-to-evade attacks make him a strong Rebel. He can focus on bypassing the King’s defenses, forcing the King into tough situations while keeping his own hand strong.

Spy

• • In the Spy role, Wang Ping’s adaptability allows him to shift between supporting the King or weakening them when necessary. His ability to handle both offense and tactics means he can adjust his strategy to balance the game in his favor.

Wang Ping’s versatility is his greatest strength. By offering him the choice between offense and tactical control, Sanguosha emphasizes his strategic prowess and adaptability. Players who can read the game well and adjust Wang Ping’s abilities to the current situation will find him to be a reliable and flexible general. His reliance on red cards makes it essential to manage his hand effectively, but when played well, Wang Ping is a valuable asset in any role.

Wang Ping, courtesy name Zijun, played a significant role during the Three Kingdoms period, and his career reflects his strategic insight and dedication. Originally serving under Cao Cao, Wang Ping defected to Liu Bei's forces during the Hanzhong Campaign. Despite being illiterate, he demonstrated strong military acumen and earned Zhuge Liang's trust, steadily rising to prominent ranks within Shu.

Wang Ping's character is enhanced with dramatic moments, particularly during his fictionalized role in Wei's Hanzhong Campaign. There, he opposes Xu Huang’s risky tactic of crossing the Han River, warning that such a maneuver would make retreat impossible and leave the army vulnerable. His foresight, ignored by Xu Huang, results in a defeat for the Wei army. After Xu Huang’s failure, Wang Ping famously says, "I warned you, but you did not listen," and he soon defects to Liu Bei’s side. This sequence illustrates Wang Ping’s keen strategic thinking and his loyalty to his commanders, which becomes a key trait in his portrayal.

Another pivotal moment in Romance of the Three Kingdoms involves Wang Ping at the end of Zhuge Liang's life. Zhuge Liang names Wang Ping, along with Liao Hua, Ma Dai, Zhang Ni, and Zhang Yi, as one of the five loyal generals tasked with safeguarding Shu. This honor cements his legacy in the novel as one of Shu’s most reliable and steadfast figures.

Historically, Wang Ping’s actions at the Battle of Jieting, where he managed to salvage a dire situation after Ma Su's blunder, and his leadership during the Battle of Xingshi, where he successfully defended against Cao Shuang’s forces, further highlight his military prowess. His portrayal in both history and the novel emphasizes his loyalty, strategic thinking, and dedication to Shu’s cause, making him a respected figure in both narratives.
