Maybe? But Ling Qi / Yrsillar know what they are doing. I assume we can trust her to ask for something sensible.

By the way, would anyone voting for "Flying Sword" change the vote to "Domain Weapon"? It is a more general wording which leaves the door open for potential cool things if they are possible.

Yea, but that's three rounds they aren't beating on us.

Why would they bother? With the dice difference the guardian wouldn't be able to hurt a high-power enemy and it has no taunt skills/arts.
How good it might get with upgrades is why it's even worth our time. Otherwise it might not be able to help us in a big fight...
Unless we make one such guardian for every member of our group in the group fight, and give the guardians all buffs we can.

Fortunately,cee pack both AoE buffs and debuffs, which should more or less automatically bring it up to speed.

...what?
Something that can punch at Green and can use one of our arts right out of the gate is frankly monstrous once enhanced with Ling Qis buffing suite.
Give it Argent Current and watch what happens, for example

I'm not imagining we would use this in the preliminaries, but rather in the Inner Sect qualifiers (top 16 -> top 8).
The preliminaries in general don't sound like the best place to deploy this. For one thing, we probably won't need it - we are pretty great against crowds of weaker cultivators ourselves, especially if we already have some people on our side to support as well.
...but itll have maxxed out stats all the way through Green and potentially through to Cyan, instead?
This is very much a long term investment.
And worth it.

I'm not doing it because Meizhen outright said to use the mirror for our fief, which we are going to absolutely need even though Renxiang is funding it. Fiefs are freaking expensive things to get started and it'll be nice to have the extra resources to deal with. Frankly the mirror is way way overkill if Meizhen is recommending that.
I also want the best Domain Weapon we can get, so to Cai it goes.

I really want home stretch to feel like home stretch.
Assuming we slot Scalding Stream and Rumbling Squall to it, it has:
Offensive Clashes: 24 base + 3 AC (currently) + 6 SS= 33 dice + 1 bonus semiperfect damage. (-3 to enemies p.def on hit), chance to deafen on hit.
Defensive Clashes: 21 base + 4 TRF + 3 RS = 28 dice.
Armor 3 + TRF 1 + RS 1 = 5 Armour Durability 8
DV 5 Armor Piercing 2
Health 7
Sadly @yrsillar hasn't told us how much Qi it has.
Anyway, while it's definitely not a peer, its dice pool is more than enough for it to be considered usable, especially as TRF/AS/AC will increase.

Significantly more thanks to our nature as a support and the way we can slot arm and spine/leg techs to it.

Another way of looking at it is to price out how much a talisman would cost if you wanted it to have a similar effect on a fight.

A lot as far as my grasp on pricing says.

Should we include
when we hand in the shard for processing? For extra moon shenanigans?
