# Strategist Character Direction
|
|
|
|
This guide prevents strategist units from collapsing into the same white-robed, feather-fan silhouette.
|
|
|
|
## Core Rule
|
|
|
|
Zhuge Liang owns the large white feather fan and white-robed sage read. Other strategist, civil-official, and shaman units should keep their own readable identity through color, posture, and prop choice.
|
|
|
|
## Identity Matrix
