Rune Information
Type
Attack rune

The White Tiger Rune (白虎の紋章, Byakko no Monshō) is an attack rune which appears in Suikoden II and Suikoden Tactics. It is a rune used by martial artists.

Information

This rune was borne by the master-student duo of Long Chan-Chan and Wakaba during the Dunan Unification War. It was considered something of an emblem for Long Chan-Chan's dojo. In addition to the technique of firing a ball of ki, the bearer can also attack with a powerful series of strikes.

Long Chan-Chan would use the rune to release energy from his hands while Wakaba released energy from her feet to attack the enemy. It could be used even from the rear guard, and inflicted double the normal damage on the target. However, there are cases where the user would be knocked off-balance and unable to act for a time.

This undesired effect could apparently be mitigated with training. As someone with more experience, Long Chan-Chan was better at handling the effects of this rune than his enthusiastic protege.
