Arashi's Skills

Focus

Button Notation:	Black frame, f
BMO Notation:	f

Focus Dice help characters go first. After the starting roll, if you are not going first, you can reduce the values on your Focus Dice so that you are going first. Your opponent can respond by reducing their Focus Dice, and so on until both players are ready to begin, or can’t reduce their dice any farther.

If you go first, you can’t make an attack with any of the Focus Dice that you turned down. The second player has no such restriction.

Focus dice were introduced in the Legend of the Five Rings set.

Parry

Button Notation:	y
BMO Notation:	Not implemented

Parry Dice cannot be captured with a Power Attack. Introduced in the Blademasters set. Originally, this ability was identical to "Insult" dice, but later the designer decided they would be better thematically if they were unable to be Power Attacked, making the die distinct from the Insult Die that originated in the Gaming Guardians set.
