• Cao Zhen collects a card each time he uses an Escape or when any other player uses an Escape during his turn. He receives one card for each Escape used. These cards are placed on his general card and are not part of his hand or equipment.

• The cards collected by "Enemy Foresight" are used as tokens and cannot be targeted by Break or Steal effects, ensuring that only Cao Zhen can use or discard them.

• When Cao Zhen activates "Enemy Foresight," the current player’s total number of available attacks is reduced by one for that turn. If the target gains an ability to increase their number of attacks, they will still be able to attack, but one fewer time than usual.

• Cao Zhen has the unique ability to capitalize on Escape cards, allowing him to accumulate resources without relying on damaging or depleting his hand. This ability gives him a defensive advantage, as he benefits from using Escape even when under attack.

• By discarding a card from "Enemy Foresight," Cao Zhen can limit a key player's attack potential during their turn, weakening their offensive power. This ability can prevent aggressive characters from overwhelming the battlefield.

• Cao Zhen gains cards not just from his own actions but also from others using Escape during his turn, providing him with a steady source of extra cards to fuel his ability and maintain board presence.

• Since "Enemy Foresight" relies on cards placed on his general card, Cao Zhen’s effectiveness is not entirely dependent on his hand, making it harder to deplete his resources through common methods like Steal or hand discard effects.

• Cao Zhen's resource generation depends on how often he or other players use Escape during his turn. If players avoid using Escape, he will struggle to accumulate cards for "Enemy Foresight."

• Cao Zhen’s ability to reduce attacks with "Enemy Foresight" only works against characters who rely heavily on attacks. If the current player doesn’t plan to attack much or at all, his ability may be wasted.

• While Cao Zhen excels at defense and disrupting attacks, he lacks aggressive options to pressure enemies. His abilities are more suited to protecting himself and slowing down others, making it difficult for him to seize control in offensive roles.

• If opponents have abilities or effects that grant extra attacks or modify their attack patterns, they can still launch attacks despite the reduction imposed by Cao Zhen’s "Enemy Foresight."

• Attack-Reliant Characters:
  Cao Zhen is particularly effective against aggressive characters who rely on attacking, like Lu Bu or Huang Zhong. His ability to limit their attacks with "Enemy Foresight" makes him a direct counter to their playstyle.

• Escape-Enabling Allies:
  Teammates who provide cards or abilities that let Cao Zhen accumulate Escape can maximize his potential. Characters like Liu Bei, who can give cards, can help Cao Zhen consistently gather the cards needed for "Enemy Foresight."

• Multi-attacking Characters:
  Some characters are able to attack more than once per turn.  Cao Zhen is able to hinder some of these characters like Taishi Ci, by reducing the numbers of times they can attack from two to one.  Some of these characters like Zhang Fei are immune to his ability however since he can attack an unlimited number of times.  

King

• • Cao Zhen is a solid defensive king. His ability to collect resources through Escape usage and reduce attack counts makes him a tough target for aggressive rebels. However, his lack of direct offensive power can make it difficult for him to quickly deal with enemies.

Loyalist

• • As a loyalist, Cao Zhen can protect the king by limiting the offensive potential of rebels. His "Enemy Foresight" allows him to disrupt key enemies at crucial moments, but he works best in combination with other supportive or offensive loyalists.

Rebel

• • Cao Zhen can be an effective rebel by weakening the king’s loyalist defenses, particularly if they rely on attacking multiple times. His defensive nature and ability to slow down the opposition allow him to disrupt the king's plans, though he may struggle to finish off a strong king alone.

Spy

• • Cao Zhen is a poor spy, he can easily adapt depending on the situation. His ability to reduce attacks allows him to slow down dangerous threats while remaining neutral until he’s ready to make his move, but he does not have any advantages when going on the attack.

Cao Zhen is a defensive and disruptive character who excels at limiting the attack potential of enemies and gathering resources through Escape usage. His strength lies in his ability to manipulate the flow of combat by reducing the number of attacks his opponents can use. However, his effectiveness depends on how often Escape cards are used, and his playstyle is more suited to defense and control rather than direct aggression. Cao Zhen works best in roles where his ability to prevent multiple attacks can protect key allies or himself.

Cao Zhen was a prominent general and strategist serving the state of Wei. A close relative of Cao Cao and a trusted military leader, Cao Zhen was known for his defensive campaigns and strategies to repel enemy forces. His ability to foresee enemy movements and prepare for battle is reflected in his Sanguosha ability, "Enemy Foresight," which allows him to preemptively reduce the attacks of his opponents.

Historically, Cao Zhen is most famous for his role in defending against Shu Han's northern expeditions, particularly during Zhuge Liang's campaigns. His cautious and defensive strategies allowed him to maintain control over the region, even in the face of aggressive attacks. This ties in thematically with his Sanguosha abilities, as he is able to gather resources defensively through Escape cards and weaken his enemies' offensive power.

In the game, Cao Zhen's playstyle mirrors his historical role as a vigilant and foresighted defender, making him a formidable character for slowing down enemy forces and protecting his allies. His ability to accumulate cards from defensive maneuvers and limit enemy attacks embodies his historical legacy as a master of defense and strategy in Wei.
