+
+## Visual Decision
+
+Shu strategist field v2 is accepted as a practical battlefield tactician. The green travel robe, feather fan, and bamboo scroll separate it from the armored council officer and the cleaner white-robed strategist.
+

+
+## Notes
+
+v2 widens the robe silhouette for tactical readability while keeping the fan and scroll compact. The unit remains fully opaque, stable on the foot baseline, and visually distinct at 50px scale.
