The FTO light shotgun bot is also reasonably useful as deployment zone defense. Yu Jing has a number of high quality combat remotes that are further enhanced with an EVO Pangguling's Assisted Fire supportware. Faerie Dust and Controlled Jump are also both quality supportware, so it's recommended to pick up an EVO if you can make use of at least two of an EVO's supportware programs.

	*'''Yaoxie Lu Duan:''' Holomask and Holoprojector make this S4 remote particularly fun! It also got minelayer with deployable repeaters, which is pretty sweet. The MK12 and heavy flamethrower (+1B) are solid weapons, and it's got MSV1 to shoot better against those pesky MIM units.		*'''Yaoxie Lu Duan:''' Holomask and Holoprojector make this S4 remote particularly fun!

	*'''Dàofei Tactical Section:''' Infiltrating camouflage HI, who are also quite fast. These are expensive, but come with a bunch of useful profiles and make both sturdy midfield specialists and a great tool in an Alpha Strike. They pair well with Guilang, and are lynchpin units of Yu Jing's camo spam strategies.		*'''Dàofei Tactical Section:''' Infiltrating camouflage HI, who are also quite fast.

	*'''Hac Tao Special Unit:''' ~~Elite Thermo-optic Camouflage Heavy Infantry~~. ~~In addition~~ to ~~being able to hidden deploy~~, Hac Tao pack a scary amount of 14s across their statline~~. One cannot overstate how powerful a Hac Tao~~ NCO ~~powered by a Daoying can be~~. Sitting right at the ~~intersection~~ of survivability, offensive power, and order efficiency, the Hac Tao NCO HMG is in the running for one of the best standard HMGs in the 'entire game'.		*'''Hac Tao Special Unit:''' The blackest of Yu Jing's Black Ops, when it's Situation Critical, Hac Tao are sent in to stabilize it. Ostensibly a counterpart to the Swiss Guard, Hac Tao pack a scary amount of 14s across their statline, heavier than heavy armor, and access to NCO. Sitting right at the peak of survivability, offensive power, and order efficiency, the Hac Tao NCO HMG is in the running for one of the best standard HMGs in the ''entire game''. Apropos of that, the Hac Tao missile launcher is one of those units who, if used correctly, wins you the game with a single missile.

	*'''Hsien Warriors:''' ~~Hsien warriors are the Yu Jing~~ Emperor's personal guard ~~and are~~ pulled from the finest elite troops the Judicial Branch has to offer. They are fast, have excellent CC, 14s across the board, and sport MSV2. In addition, several profiles actually grant you SWC, allowing YJ lists to truly outgun their opponents. The HMG is a classic, but the Multi-Marksman Rifle carries a Tinbot to keep him safe from enemy hackers, while the Multirifle variant grants SWC and is a specialist on top of ~~being an~~ Lt+1 Order		*'''Hsien Warriors:''' The Emperor's personal guard, pulled from the finest elite troops the Judicial Branch has to offer.

	*'''Hulang Shocktroopers:''' Hulang are what you get when a monk decides to train a bunch of violent thugs and then sticks them in power armor: tough, hard-to-hit CC specialists with a scary array of short-range options. The Forward Deployment (+8") profiles give them a headstart on slicing through their opponents. Don't forget every profile is also a Specialist Operative and can accomplish mission objectives.		*'''Hulang Shocktroopers:''' Hulang are what you get when a monk decides to train a bunch of violent thugs and then sticks them in power armor: tough, hard-to-hit CC specialists with a scary array of short-range options.

	*'''Sù-Jiàn Immediate Action Unit:''' Yu Jing's Transformer and the peak of YJ engineering, the dreaded Su Jian is the most conceptually frightening heavy infantry in ISS, and probably all of Yu Jing. You only need to look at the statline to realize the Su Jian is a cut above anything else; the fastest, most resilient unit available, loaded with weapons for all ranges. When piloted properly, a Su Jian will be able to find your opponent's weakest line and punch right through it without mercy. Its main weakness, like all of YJ's HI, is hacking; keep it away from enemy infowar and it will win your games outright. The Spitfire is a classic, but the Heavy Shotgun gives an enormous amount of short-ranged anti-armor power.		*'''Sù-Jiàn Immediate Action Unit:''' Yu Jing's Transformer and the peak of YJ engineering, the dreaded Su Jian is the most conceptually frightening heavy infantry in ISS, and probably all of Yu Jing.

	*'''Wú Míng Assault Corps:''' Relatively cheap and simple HI. In YJ, they're notable for being inexpensive two-wound troopers who can protect your DZ or post up as with panzerfausts or rocket launchers.		*'''Wú Míng Assault Corps:''' Relatively cheap and simple HI.

	*'''Yan Huo Invincibles, Fire Support Heavy Regiment:''' Yan Huo are here to do one thing, and that one thing is ~~firing oversized weaponry~~. Each Yan Huo is armed with weaponry that's only otherwise seen on TAGs. Take into account that although they are bigger than most horses and weigh more than a LI Core fireteam, these guys don't have any form of Courage, visual modifiers or special equipment. They are tough and they shoot a lot of rounds, but that's it. Thankfully, that's often enough.		*'''Yan Huo Invincibles, Fire Support Heavy Regiment:''' Yan Huo are here to do one thing, and that one thing is fire superiority.

They are tough and they shoot a lot of rounds, but that's it. Thankfully, that's often enough.

	*'''Zuyong Invincibles, Terra-cotta Soldiers:''' Basic, no-frills HI. Zuyongs are the baseline of ~~the~~ Invincible Army: they are reliable, resilient and efficient (characteristics that they share with the sectorial as a whole). You can choose between 13 possible loadouts that cover everything from heavy weapons to specialists and fillers. Don't underestimate the B3 Breaker Pistols all Zuyong carry at close range.		*'''Zuyong Invincibles, Terra-cotta Soldiers:''' Basic, no-frills HI.

	**'''Tai Sheng, Zuyong Invincibles NCO:''' Tai Sheng brings ~~NCO to your fireteam of choice, on top of being~~ a WIP 14 ~~specialist~~ and one of the best marksmen in Yu Jing with BS14 and some decent guns. ~~Her Breaker Combi~~ profile ~~is also a great choice for bringing a tinbot~~.		**'''Tai Sheng, Zuyong Invincibles NCO:''' Propaganda icon and poster child for the Invincible Army, Tai Sheng brings a WIP 14 NCO and is one of the best marksmen in Yu Jing with BS14 and some decent guns. She has a Chain of Command profile, making her one of the unusual troops who can use her own Lt order to power NCO.
	**'''Krit Kokram, Zuyong Invincibles Specialist:''' Former badboy Krit Kokram is our cheapest NCO and an engineer. Also notable for carrying three pistols. In N3 he was mediocre at best, an embarrassment at worst, but N4 gave him a massive glowup. A giant price cut and an extremely attractive FD8" profile sits him squarely in a niche as a midfield toolbox, capable of using your Lt's orders to secure objectives and go on the offensive with that artillery-sized shotgun he carries. He can be awkward to use, as no form of marker state or mimetism leaves him vulnerable, but if you can protect him, he can ~~and will~~ carry you to a win.		**'''Krit Kokram, Zuyong Invincibles Specialist:''' Former badboy Krit Kokram is our cheapest NCO and an engineer.

	*'''Daoying Operative Control Unit:''' Arguably one of the best lieutenants in the game. Camo keeps her safe, while Lieutenant L2 lets you spend two extra orders on a beefy beatstick or a ~~link through an~~ NCO. The base LT loadout is the cheapest and is probably the best choice if you just want to power one of YJ's fantastic NCO options. The Hacker profile is solid and can use those 2 LT orders for late game objective rushes. The sniper provides an easy solution to an exposed enemy TR bot and gets Minelayer to hide and protect herself easier.		*'''Daoying Operative Control Unit:''' Arguably one of the best lieutenants in the game. Camo keeps her safe, while Lieutenant L2 lets you spend two extra orders on a beefy beatstick or a single elite via NCO.

The Hacker profile is solid and can use those 2 LT orders for late game objective rushes. The sniper provides an easy solution to an exposed enemy TR bot and gets Minelayer to hide and protect herself easier.

	*'''Hùndùn Ambush Unit:''' These hidden deployment troops make a mean ARO threat, especially the Heavy Rocket Launcher and the Multi Sniper. ~~If you’re tied on SWC or expect the opponent~~ to ~~get a bit closer the Shock Marksman Rifle is no slouch either!~~		*'''Hùndùn Ambush Unit:''' These hidden deployment troops make a mean ARO threat, especially the Heavy Rocket Launcher and the Multi Sniper. The shock marksman rifle profile is an extremely deadly active turn shooter, and an interesting counterpart to Lei Gong's Albedo shock marksman rifle.

	*'''Imperial Agent Adil Mehmut, Special Division:''' This character‘s packing a bunch of useful weapons and decent stats and skills to back them up, making him great in shooting and CC. On top of that he brings a specialist profile with Veteran or Chain of Command. Sensor comes in handy whenever you got to deal with a lot of Camo.		*'''Imperial Agent Adil Mehmut, Special Division:''' This character‘s packing a bunch of useful weapons and decent stats and skills to back them up, making him great in shooting and CC.

Climbing+ gives her table flexibility, letting her get on top of irritating enemy infiltrators hiding on rooftops.

	*'''Lei Gong, Invincibles Lord of Thunder:''' An A! alumni, Lei Gong has a highly optimized set of stats and provides some unique utility to Yu Jing. He's fast with 6-2 move, is an accurate BS13 MSV1 shooter, packs a Blitzen for long-range AROs or coordinated orders, is unhackable, and uniquely, has Albedo, meaning for the first round of the game, he is invisible to anybody with MSV. Both profiles are worth taking, with the SMR being a great budget shooter and the CoC a good specialist with WIP 14~~. Both are excellent in or out of a link~~.		*'''Lei Gong, Invincibles Lord of Thunder:''' An A! alumni, Lei Gong has a highly optimized set of stats and provides some unique utility to Yu Jing.

Great model, unfortunate profile.		*'''Sun Tze v.2 (Marksman Leader):''' Poor Sun Tze. N4 really gutted his skills, and the nature of N4 means he's just not as good as he used to be.

Their stats and skills make them excellent at their job, and their profiles give you the right tool for most tasks.

	*'''Ye Mao Infantry:''' These guys get MSV1, Mimetism-3 and Super-Jump. They have a few neat loadouts, making them relatively flexible (but not really cost-effective). A profile worth mentioning is the Engineer with Panzerfaust and D-Charges, and the AP Spitfire is one of the cheapest, most effective ways to get a high-burst AP weapon in YJ.		*'''Ye Mao Infantry:''' These guys get MSV1, Mimetism-3 and Super-Jump.

	*'''Armand 'Le Muet,' Freelance Killer:''' Dude is a relentlessly aggressive trooper that beats down any enemy at any range and even has an extra wound to do. While poor old Armand cannot remember which side he's truly on; he's still an irritating ARO piece because of his -6 Mimetism. He also comes with the option of either a shock minelayer to protect himself, or a MSV1. But that aside, Armand is great for an aggressive area-denying troop who does well in both active turn and ARO.		*'''Armand 'Le Muet,' Freelance Killer:''' Dude is a relentlessly aggressive trooper that beats down any enemy at any range and even has an extra wound to boot.

	*'''John Hawkwood, Mercenary Officer:''' The Boss of White Company comes with either a Red Fury or a K1 Marksman Rifle, and a Chain of Command profile. While his stats are pretty alright and his skills complement the loadouts well he's coming in very pricey -- notably, he's one of the few sources of K1 in Yu Jing, making him an extremely competent TAG killer.		*'''John Hawkwood, Mercenary Officer:''' The Boss of White Company comes with either a Red Fury or a K1 Marksman Rifle, and a Chain of Command profile.

	*'''Blue Wolf Mongol Cavalry:''' A light TAG; on Svalarheim they're a nomadic unit of guerilla cavalry designed to hunt PanO Jotums, a job they do outstandingly well with their AP Spitfire and extremely high Burst. ~~Designed to~~ engage at ~~midrange, they've got~~ adequate CC skill to ~~protect~~ themselves from melee threats, their low profile (for a TAG) lets them find cover where a Guijia might not, and Terrain (Total) allows ~~them~~ to ~~ignore or even~~ use difficult terrain zones ~~to their advantage~~. While they're significantly more survivable than most heavy infantry, they're still TAGs, and thus have the same weaknesses: keep them away from enemy Hackers, or you might quickly find your Blue Wolf turning on you.		*'''Blue Wolf Mongol Cavalry:''' A light TAG; on Svalarheim they're a nomadic unit of guerilla cavalry designed to hunt PanO Jotums, a job they do outstandingly well with their AP Spitfire and extremely high Burst.

	*'''Guijia Squadrons:''' For almost 20 years, the Guijia was the only TAG available to Yu Jing. Uninteresting and basic, N4 saw much needed upgrades with improved Martial Arts and Super Jump. This allows it to find unusual angles and move to places a TAG simply isn't intended to be; on top of buildings, in canals, landing onto balconies, etc. This allows it to find commanding positions to fight enemy troopers your opponent ''believed'' would be safe, such as prone on a rooftop. Just keep in mind an exposed TAG is catnip for missiles and anti-armor weapons; be sure to keep an order or two in your back pocket to pull its ass out of the line of fire.		*'''Guijia Squadrons:''' For almost 20 years, the Guijia was the only TAG available to Yu Jing.

We have a suit of heavy armor with a tactical poncho. Need overwhelming firepower? We made man-portable TAG guns and strapped them to a miniature TAG chassis. Want elite melee combatants? We've got 'em in spades -- in standard 'and' Monofilament sword flavours. And of course, if all you need is a quality gun carried by a competent soldier, you'll be spoiled for choice.

	*'''Imperial Agents, Pheasant Rank:''' Pheasants are more than capable of picking up the slack. Featuring Chain of Command at baseline, Pheasants fulfil an important ~~backline~~ specialist role, with a variety of support loadouts such as hackers or Madtrap minelayers. Notably, the Tactical Awareness Red Fury Pheasant is one of the few high burst specialists, making her ideal for a late turn 3 objective run.		*'''Imperial Agents, Pheasant Rank:''' Auxiliary command troops, Pheasants are more than capable of picking up the slack if your Lt goes down.

	*'''Kuang Shi:''' Made up of dissenters, traitors, and criminals too heinous to be rehabilitated, Kuang Shi are how YJ can afford all of its high value troops. Aggressively costed, Dogged, Kuang Shi are designed to scream across the table and trade life for life with enemy troops. .		*'''Kuang Shi:''' Made up of dissenters, traitors, and criminals too heinous to be rehabilitated, Kuang Shi are how YJ can afford all of its high value troops.

	*'''Major Lunah, ex-Aristeia! Sniper:''' A former bloodsport superstar who publicly renounced her Haqqislam citizenship to join Yu Jing, Lunah brings her expert marksmanship ~~to Yu Jing~~, ~~where~~ she uses it to great effect. Already quite good in N3, She was massively buffed in N4, and ~~now demands attention on the battlefield~~.		*'''Major Lunah, ex-Aristeia!

	*'''Mech-Engineers (Zhanshi Gongcheng):''' Our cheapest engineer. Pretty important when a big chunk of your army is allergic to E/M ammo. If you take him, give him a Yaozao as well.		*'''Mech-Engineers (Zhanshi Gongcheng):''' Our cheapest engineer. Pretty important when a big chunk of your army is allergic to E/M ammo.

	**'''Chief Mech-Engineer Chung-Hee Jeong:''' A new addition with the Betrayal manga. While he's pretty pricy for a 1W trooper at 29-30 pts, Chief Jeong packs a smorgasbord of custom gear and interesting utility. On top of bringing a WIP 14 engineer, he's got the only K1 weapon in all of YJ (and his is Dam 14 to boot). The LRL profile carries a decent midrange weapon that hits like an HRL in his hands. But maybe most interesting is the fact that he carries a repeater, but is ''not'' hackable himself. That means he can walk into ZoC of enemy hackers with impunity, while your ~~tinbotted~~ hackers make short work of the opposition.		**'''Chief Mech-Engineer Chung-Hee Jeong:''' A new addition with the Betrayal manga.

	*'''Zhanshi:''' The humble Zhanshi is mostly here to provide orders.

	*'''Zhanshi Yisheng:''' Your only doctor. ~~Very standard and not always necessary since~~ a ~~lot of your dudes~~ have ~~NWI. Might be more efficient~~ to ~~pack paramedics into your links~~. If you do take her, don't skimp on expenses and give her a Yaozao.		*'''Zhanshi Yisheng:''' Your only doctor. Yu Jing's high tier troops all have wounds; it's a very good idea to have a doctor on standby to get a little extra value out of them. If you do take her, don't skimp on expenses and give her a Yaozao.

	*'''Zhanying Imperial Agents''': The first tier of Imperial Service Agents (Pheasants are the second), Zhanying are the beat cops and detectives that make up the majority of the ISS police force. Their years on the force have given them an uncanny knack for detecting trouble, giving them Sixth Sense on all profiles. Also they have Bioimmunity. Most Zhanying have Sensor, making them excellent at dealing with enemy camo, and Breaker Combi Rifles are effective against almost everything in the game.		*'''Zhanying Imperial Agents''': The first tier of Imperial Service Agents (Pheasants are the second), Zhanying are the beat cops and detectives that make up the majority of the ISS police force.

	*'''Aida Swanson, Submondo Smuggler:''' As a smuggler Booty is an obvious flavor thing, but still very nice from time to time. Forward deployment, MA L2 and Viral Mines, aswell as her SMG make her role of defending/taking the midfield obvious- she's not the cheapest choice for this role, but a competent one, especially if going first.		*'''Aida Swanson, Submondo Smuggler:''' As a smuggler Booty is an obvious flavor thing, but still very nice from time to time.

	*'''Krakot Renegades, Morat Fugitives:''' It’s weird that Krakot is typed as LI, as they are a straight up Warband unit. His purpose is to get up into the opponents face, kill as much as it can and die heroically, in a true Morat fashion. Worth considering for an Alpha Strike, if you can get one.		*'''Krakot Renegades, Morat Fugitives:''' It’s weird that Krakot is typed as LI, as they are a straight up Warband unit.

The cheapest loadout comes with an SMG and Drop Bears, making it ideal to push a button and turn their position into a foxhole afterwards.

	*'''Taowu, Mastermind and Schemer:''' Another former A! superstar, Taowu is if you gave the phrase "All according to plan" a profile. Holomask encourages misdirection, and his skills turn him into a walking time bomb that explodes into templates and viral ammo if anything gets close.

	*'''Wild Bill, Legendary Gunslinger:''' He's fast at MOV 6-2, got (+1Dam) and shock on his BS, also he's got marksmanship and NWI.
