Resilient is the other new keyword, and it tackles a problem at L5R’s core; the winner-take-all aspect to battles. When we were looking at resolving the inherent problems in L5R’s mechanics, the one problem we could not find a good solution was this “everyone dies” aspect of the game, which often determines the game. Now, there are some things to be done about it, such as cards that remove your own units from battle, minimizing your losses. Another solution is presented in the Resilient keyword. A Resilient card, once per game per card, will survive battle resolution without being destroyed. Combining this mechanic along with the ability to remove a unit or two from the battle can change the prospect of losing a battle from a game loss into one where you can mount a comeback and still be in it.
