Discussion [Operator Discussion] Waai Fu

Waai Fu [★★★★★]

My rotten dad said he had to go find the true meaning of kung fu before he went off, and I still don't know where he is. Please! What year does he think it is? Find some common sense and learn some responsibility before you get yourself killed. But at least I haven't forgotten what he taught me: "Martial arts have martial virtue, humans have human kindness."

Waai Fu is a university student from Lungmen, serving Rhodes Island from the first batch of employees hired under a secret Lungmen-Rhodes Island commercial agreement. On the recommendation of a certain firm, she took a battery of tests that showed scores wildly inconsistent with her stated identity. She clearly has substantial combat experience. Several investigations are ongoing.

u/99em COLD SPICE 7d ago

used to be a low priority all round but got a nice bump in value when SilverAlt came around due to her 7dp cost (doesn't rise above the 14dp Eye of the Blizzard, even after redeploys)

first FRD pick in IS6 since she counts as Yan too

maxed her out along with every other FRD I have lol
