## Visual Decision

Shu officer vanguard v2 is accepted as an aggressive front-line officer. The saber, heavier armor, and red-brown cloak create a stronger martial silhouette than the council officer without drifting into Guan Yu's polearm profile.

## Notes

v2 tightens the idle height swing while keeping the saber-led action poses readable. The unit remains fully opaque, contained in-frame, and distinct from both the council officer and generic officer at 50px tactical scale.
