Grove of Willows
Feng Shui Site
Power: 1
Body: 6
If Grove of Willows is revealed due to damage inflicted in an
attack, you gain Power equal to the number of characters that
attacked it.
On the low end of the Body chart, but decent enough to make it into the mix. Usually, you're not going to have a face down site attacked by more than one character, unless the opponent has sent enough to take it outright. Still, this will net you the power the site would have given you the next turn, anyway.
You'd like this one to come out early, and into the front row. If you play in an environment filled with Killing Rains or Satellite Surveillance, the Grove's 6 Body will become a liability. And do remember that the Grove only works once. Then it's a low body site you'll have to defend.
In the early game, can give you a little jump of power when someone does the inevitable probe attack. If it is grabbed outright, you will probably get enough power to make up for it.
Only does it's trick once (c.f. Blessed Orchard), and then its a low body site that you'll likely be unable to hold onto.
