Really liking how the Yokai faction is growing!

Thanks for the feedback! One of my desires for Nure Onna is definitely to provide another viable filler unit for 20 points--hopefully around the level of Bol to Isamu rather than Otonashi. I've been pushing to keep her cost as low as possible as a result.
It is worth noting that outside of Wannok, Marcu's 4A with Flying and Life Drain is generally going to get more mileage than Nure Onna's conditional 3A + defense debuff, and he's a lot more mobile over uneven terrain. Still, he does have that pesky 20% chance to backstab you when using him, which pigeonholes him into more of an endgame unit as a result (where the friendly damage that he can cause is at least minimal). He's still an absurd Wannok sponge, but without that edge, the choice between the two becomes a little more interesting and concerning.
It's worth testing her out more extensively as a random filler for sure, since in the right situation or map (and with a little bit of luck on Eternal Hatred rolls), I do agree that she's a better pick for 20 points.
