• Wu Yi gains a -1 Horse bonus for every card he plays during his turn. This means if Wu Yi plays three cards in one turn, he gets a cumulative -3 bonus to his range. This effect only lasts for the current turn, and the bonuses reset at the beginning of his next turn.

• If Wu Yi already has a -1 Horse equipped, this further increases his range. For example, if he has a -1 Horse equipped and plays two cards during his turn, he effectively gains a total -3 Horse bonus, allowing him to reach players even further across the board.

• Wu Yi's ability triggers from playing any type of card, whether it's a basic card (like Attack or Escape), a tool card (such as Barbarians or Steal), or even an equipment card (like Armor or Weapons). Each card he uses in his turn increases his range.

• Once Wu Yi has placed all other players within his range, their armor becomes ineffective. This includes protection from both physical attacks and certain tool cards. For instance, if a player is wearing Wood Armor, it will not protect them from the effects of Barbarians when used by Wu Yi. However, Wu Yi's own armor remains fully functional during this time, allowing him to still benefit from his own equipment while negating others'.

• Wu Yi needs to increase his range to include all players to get the maximum benefit from "Distant Charge". It is important to note that this is not his attacking range. His weapon does not increase this range. He effectively needs to reduce the distance to each player to one.

• When all players are within his range, Wu Yi can target more than one player with each Attack. This gives him the power to spread his attacks across multiple opponents, making him particularly dangerous when facing multiple enemies at once.

• Wu Yi's "Distant Charge" gives him the ability to expand his attack range every time he uses a card during his turn, potentially allowing him to reach every player on the board by the end of his turn. This makes him a potent offensive threat, as no player can hide from his attacks once he's built up enough range.

• Wu Yi can completely nullify other players' armor when they are within his attack range. This is especially useful against players who rely heavily on armor for protection, such as those with Eight Trigrams or Wood Armor.

• Once Wu Yi places all players within his range, he can target multiple enemies with a single Attack. This allows him to apply pressure to several opponents at once, forcing them to defend against his aggressive playstyle.

• Wu Yi's ability to benefit from playing any card makes him versatile and flexible in his strategy. Whether he's equipping weapons, using tool cards to control the battlefield, or simply attacking, everything he does feeds into his core mechanic of increasing his range and negating armor.

• Wu Yi's ability only functions during his turn. While he can become an offensive powerhouse during his turn, his extended range and armor-negating effects vanish at the end of his turn, leaving him vulnerable to counterattacks from other players.

• Wu Yi's abilities are entirely offensive in nature, offering no defensive advantages outside of his own armor. This leaves him vulnerable when under pressure from multiple opponents, especially if he is unable to finish them off during his turn.

• Wu Yi's effectiveness is highly dependent on how many cards he can play during his turn. If he has few cards or draws poorly, he will struggle to extend his range and take full advantage of his abilities.

• Characters who can reduce Wu Yi's hand size or prevent him from playing cards, such as Zhang Liao or Gan Ning, can severely limit his ability to use "Distant Charge" to its fullest potential. Without a steady stream of cards, Wu Yi becomes much less dangerous.

• Card Giving Characters:
  Characters like Liu Bei or Guo Jia, who can provide Wu Yi with additional cards, greatly enhance his ability to make full use of "Distant Charge." With more cards to play during his turn, Wu Yi can quickly expand his range and target multiple players with ease, maximizing his offensive potential.

• Equipment Manipulators:
  Teammates like Wu Guotai, who specialize in equipment manipulation, can help ensure Wu Yi always has the right tools to take advantage of his abilities. A good combination of weapons, armor, and horses can make Wu Yi nearly unstoppable once he begins building momentum during his turn.

• Defensive Powers:
  Characters like Yu Jin have a defensive power that is not classified as armor. Because of this, he will maintain his defenses even when Yu Yi fully activates "Distant Charge". Other characters like Fire Zhuge Liang only have abilities that add armor, which would be lost.

• Control and Disruption Specialists:
  Pairing Wu Yi with characters like Sima Yi or Xiahou Dun, who can control the flow of cards and disrupt Wu Yi during his turn, making it harder for him to gain control of the battlefield. These characters have retaliatory abilities that can sap cards away preventing Wu Yi from continuing to play cards.

King

• • As the king, Wu Yi can take full advantage of his increased attack range to deal with rebels. However, his lack of defensive abilities makes him vulnerable to concentrated attacks, so he will need strong loyalists to help protect him between turns.

Loyalist

• • As a loyalist, Wu Yi can use his extended range to target rebels from a distance, even when they try to stay out of reach. His ability to negate armor makes him especially effective against rebels who rely on defensive equipment to protect themselves.

Rebel

• • Wu Yi shines as a rebel, as his offensive capabilities allow him to pressure the king and loyalists alike. His ability to attack multiple players at once is particularly useful when the king is surrounded by loyalists, as he can weaken several opponents simultaneously.

Spy

• • As a spy, Wu Yi’s ability to target multiple players and negate armor allows him to attack both sides effectively. He can weaken both the rebels and the loyalists, while his flexible range gives him the ability to strike at key targets whenever necessary.

Wu Yi is an aggressive character whose ability to rapidly extend his attack range and negate armor makes him a powerful offensive force. "Distant Charge" allows him to bring all players within his reach by simply playing cards, while his ability to target multiple opponents at once gives him excellent crowd control. However, Wu Yi is vulnerable between turns, as his abilities are entirely offensive and do not provide much in the way of defense. Players who enjoy an aggressive playstyle and can manage their cards efficiently will find Wu Yi to be a rewarding character who can dominate the battlefield through sheer offensive power.

Wu Yi was originally from Chenliu Commandery. After losing his father at a young age, he moved with his family to Yi Province, accompanying Liu Yan, a friend of his father and newly appointed Governor of Yi Province. 

Under Liu Yan's son and successor, Liu Zhang, Wu Yi served as a General of the Household and fought to defend Yi Province against Liu Bei's forces. Though initially opposing Liu Bei, Wu Yi surrendered after defeat and later gained Liu Bei’s favor, who appointed him as General Who Protects the Army and Attacks Rebels. When Liu Bei founded Shu Han, he appointed Wu Yi as Chief Controller of Guanzhong.

After Liu Bei's death, Wu Yi continued to serve Liu Bei's son, Liu Shan, and earned several promotions for his military achievements, including defeating Wei forces led by Fei Yao. Liu Shan eventually promoted him to General of the Left. Later, when Zhuge Liang passed away in 234, Liu Shan assigned Wu Yi as General of Chariots and Cavalry and Area Commander of Hanzhong, where he managed military affairs until his death.

In Sanguosha, Wu Yi’s ability, "Distant Charge," aligns with his tactical mobility and command over long-range attacks, as shown in his real-life contributions to Shu’s northern campaigns. His historical role as a persistent combat leader translates into a game mechanic that extends his range, allowing him to pressure multiple targets as he did during his campaigns. The bypass of enemy armor also ties to his skillful command over Shu's forces, breaking through Wei defenses to secure victories on behalf of Shu Han.
