• "Keen Insight" may only reveal one card from another player's hand at the beginning of his turn.

• For "Keen Insight" to trigger, the card used must match the type of the revealed card (basic, tool, or equipment).

• Zhang Song draws each time he uses a card that matches the revealed type but only for the remainder of the turn.

• Zhang Song can only activate "Image Offering" at the start of another player's turn, not during his own turn.

• He draws two cards initially but must immediately give two cards to the chosen player, potentially returning some of the cards he drew.

• Zhang Song loses 1 health if the chosen player doesn’t kill any character during their turn after he activates "Image Offering."

• Zhang Song's "Keen Insight" allows him to strategically gain extra cards when playing matching types, effectively increasing his hand size and adaptability.

• "Image Offering" enables him to influence other players’ turns by providing resources, which can potentially lead to unexpected attacks or increased control over the game.

• Zhang Song can quickly adjust his approach to fit different game situations, using his abilities to help allies or gain more resources for himself.

• Using "Image Offering" comes with a risk, as Zhang Song loses 1 health if the chosen player doesn’t achieve a kill during their turn. This limits its use in non-lethal rounds.

• "Keen Insight" depends on Zhang Song using the same card type as the revealed card, which may not always align with his hand composition.

• By revealing cards and giving resources to others, Zhang Song can expose his strategy, making him a target for players wary of his supporting or controlling influence.

• High-Attack Characters:
  Zhang Song pairs well with aggressive players who are likely to kill characters, reducing the health risk from "Image Offering." Characters like Lü Bu and Huang Zhong can be ideal allies.

• Card Drawers and Discard Effects:
  By supporting characters with strong card-cycling abilities like Sun Quan, Zhang Song can maximize the benefits of "Keen Insight" while they utilize the additional resources he provides.

• Defense-Heavy Allies:
  Zhang Song can help defensive allies like Liu Bei by giving them extra resources through "Image Offering" to strengthen their defense, reducing their reliance on attacks.

King

• • As King, Zhang Song has limited survival skills, but his resource distribution and card draw abilities can support allies effectively. However, the risk from "Image Offering" can endanger him without proper defense.

Loyalist

• • Zhang Song performs well as a Loyalist, using his abilities to empower the King’s defenses and disrupt Rebels with well-timed support.

Rebel

• • As a Rebel, Zhang Song can support aggressive allies and strengthen attacks against the King, though he must use "Image Offering" carefully to avoid self-inflicted damage.

Spy

• • His flexibility makes Zhang Song a strong Spy, balancing between supporting both sides as needed to maintain his survival while benefiting from his card draw.

Zhang Song is a versatile support character who thrives on tactical play and resource management. His abilities reward thoughtful interaction with other players, enhancing both his and his allies’ resources. However, he requires careful timing and planning, especially with "Image Offering," to avoid unintended damage. Strategic players will find Zhang Song’s card-advantage abilities valuable for turning the tide of battle, especially when paired with characters who can maximize his support.

Zhang Song was a prominent adviser hailing from Shu Commandery. Originally serving as Aide-de-camp to Liu Zhang, Governor of Yi Province, Zhang Song was first dispatched to Cao Cao as an emissary to request assistance against Zhang Lu. However, Zhang Song secretly wanted to assist Cao Cao in taking control of the province from the weak Liu Zhang.  In another reversal, Cao Cao’s condescending treatment and disregard for Zhang Song left him insulted. In response, Zhang Song returned to Liu Zhang, stopping with Liu Bei as to not return empty handed. 

Zhang Song persuaded Liu Zhang to invite Liu Bei to lead troops into Yi Province. Zhang Song argued that Liu Bei’s support could secure Yi Province against Zhang Lu. When Liu Bei arrived, Zhang Song provided him with crucial information about Yi Province’s geography, resources, and defenses, even going so far as to supply him with a detailed map, revealing a willingness to support Liu Bei over his lord, Liu Zhang. Zhang Song, along with Fa Zheng, further orchestrated a plot to help Liu Bei seize control of the province from Liu Zhang.

However, Zhang Song’s own brother, Zhang Su, discovered his betrayal and, fearing association with the plot, reported him to Liu Zhang. As a result, Liu Zhang had Zhang Song executed, abruptly ending his aspirations to install Liu Bei as the ruler of Yi Province.

Zhang Song’s ability, "Keen Insight," reflects his detailed knowledge of Yi Province and his strategic skill in gathering and sharing crucial information. This ability mirrors how he supplied Liu Bei with maps and details of Yi’s defenses, allowing him to adapt his plans based on this intelligence. His second ability, "Image Offering," represents his attempts to influence others by providing resources and assistance—mirroring his early advocacy for Liu Bei and his efforts to support him with troops and supplies, despite personal risk. Zhang Song’s role as a strategic informant and facilitator is embodied in both his abilities, which highlight his value in fostering alliances and conveying essential information.
