Warlord

Warlord is a card type represented by double-sided cards with tweaked abilities to reflect the cooperative variant or the challenge variant. There were introduced in the Under Fu Leng's Shadow set.

As a disconnected rabble of undead, tainted samurai, goblins, ogres, oni, and other monstrosities, the Shadowlands forces have no stronghold to rally around and defend. They are united only by the might of a single warlord, who forms the centerpiece of their armies in the game. There are three distinct warlords included in Under Fu Leng's Shadow, represented by double-sided cards with tweaked abilities to reflect the cooperative variant or the challenge variant.

As the replacement for the stronghold, the warlord determines how much fate the Shadowlands will generate each round. Warlord isn't always in play as a character, but its abilities are always active and the player can use them to shape the battlefield even when the warlord is out-of-play.
