Biography: Einar is one of Valhalla’s first Valkyrie Generals. He is known above all for his stoic enforcement of discipline. His army is more coordinated than Vydar’s Soulborgs, more loyal than Jandar’s stalwart knights, and more efficient than Aquilla’s wizards.

Shiori, by contrast, is none of these things. Einar’s summons plucked her from her home in Earth’s feudal Japan when she was barely in her teens, and she has been belligerently operating outside of his maxims ever since. Now a warrior grown, Shiori has spent her time in the mystical Valhalla honing her craft, and can blend Earth-style martial arts seamlessly with magic.

Einar may not approve of Shiori’s methods, but after her success in the Marro swamp, he knows his fate and hers are intertwined. And Shiori, though she could care less about Einar himself, will not fail those friends she does hold dear in this rising age of destruction.

Shiori is available as an organized play promo, obtained from Launch Tournaments or Gen Con 2024 events! Shiori will be available for purchase on the Renegade webstore after the promotions she is associated with have passed.

Power Text:

NINJUTSU MASTERY SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 2 + Special.
If Shiori did not move normally, she may attack with Ninjutsu Mastery Special Attack up to three times. Before each attack, you must choose an opponent's figure within 2 clear sight spaces of Shiori and place Shiori on an empty space adjacent to that figure that is not more than 6 spaces higher or lower than Shiori's base. When attacking with Ninjutsu Mastery Special Attack, Shiori rolls 2 attack dice, or 3 attack dice if Shiori has exactly one unrevealed Order Marker on her Army Card.

KIERU
If Shiori is attacked with a normal or special attack and receives 1 or more wounds, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 14 or higher, you may place Shiori on an empty space within 2 spaces of Shiori that is not more than 6 spaces above or below Shiori's level. If you do, ignore all wounds just received.

PHANTOM WALK
Shiori can move through all figures and is never attacked when leaving an engagement.
