• The once-per-character-per-turn restriction limits the frequency with which Quan Cong can use "Inspire Courage," requiring careful planning.

  Teammates such as Zhang Fei or Xiahou Yuan, who rely on cards for their abilities, can gain a boost from Quan Cong’s ability to redistribute cards.

• Weak-Hand Allies:

Quan Cong is a resourceful and supportive character whose strength lies in his ability to redistribute cards and fulfill basic card requirements. His "Inspire Courage" ability enables him to influence the battlefield dynamically, whether by assisting allies or maintaining his own momentum. However, his reliance on other characters’ hand sizes and the risks associated with exchanging hands demand strategic foresight. Quan Cong thrives in team settings where his allies can maximize the value of his unique ability.

Quan Cong’s character in Sanguosha reflects his historical role as a general of courage, strategy, and compassion during the Three Kingdoms era. Quan Cong gained fame through acts of charity, such as distributing grain during a famine and assisting refugees. His generosity and forward-thinking nature translated into a career as a military officer under Sun Quan, where he effectively pacified rebellions and commanded successful campaigns.

Historically, Quan Cong was a decisive leader who valued the bigger picture, as evidenced by his refusal to exploit civilians during the Lu’an County campaign and his opposition to risky state decisions, such as Sun Deng leading troops or the ill-advised Zhuya and Yizhou expeditions. These qualities tie closely to his in-game abilities, which likely reflect strategic precision and careful resource management.

Quan Cong’s respectful demeanor and political tact were also evident in his actions, such as mediating state affairs and standing firm during the succession conflict between Sun Quan’s sons, Sun He and Sun Ba. His involvement in multiple rebellions and his ability to pacify over 10,000 people in Danyang, Wu, and Kuaiji commanderies highlight his leadership and adaptability, traits that could be tied to defensive or diplomatic gameplay mechanics.

Overall, Quan Cong's in-game representation draws from his historical achievements as a courageous and pragmatic general who played a key role in stabilizing Eastern Wu and upholding its legacy during tumultuous times.
