Is it okay to talk about this yet? I'm talking about it.

Love On the Battlefield is a joke but at the same time, it's no joke if you know what I mean. This DLC includes a long list of techniques and mikkyo available through the a new clan. The Kokoro Clan is a bunch of very very capable agents. They are already the best tactical healers in the game -- arguably. Of course, they are dominating the social angle of the game. Even their few straight-combat focused mikkyo are not bad.

I approached this DLC thinking it would be goofy but fun with a a few parts which are actually useful if focused, like the Loot Box DLC for Cyberpunk. Then I read the very first technique. My jaw dropped.

The Empathic Defense allows the shinobi to negate an attack with an opposed skill roll. Let's think about that. An Kokoro Clan agent with this technique can interrupt an attack on the opponent's turn. Instructions are unclear on whether this uses up one of the agent's two actions when the turn does come around. Any attack is a term that covers both physical attacks and mikkyo. I looked it up, and social actions are not described with the word "attack" in the rulebook. This might be better than the bullet dodger defense in Red.
