Like many of Silvermoon’s street enforcers, Zhiv honed his combat skills on the tough streets. Only those who survive and thrive in that environment earn a place in the ranks of the Shatei. Zhiv excels at overpowering lesser opponents or those who aren't used to fighting, but against seasoned combatants, his shortcomings can become clear. Fortunately, Zhiv can take a hit with the best of them, and once he has an opponent on the ground, he’s quick to capitalize on the opportunity.
Like many of the newer Shatei, Zhiv will often test his opponents to see if they can match his fighting style. Some may struggle to find the resources to Boost, or simply lack the option, which gives Zhiv the advantage. However, trained Monks or Samurai will easily counter his challenge and often hit back harder than he can handle. Knowing when and against whom to deploy him is crucial to his effectiveness.
A Moonfang-wielding Thug who lets you choose when to re-roll. Stack Silvermoon re-rolls for ruthless consistency—or go big when the stakes are high.
A swaggering daredevil of the Silvermoon Trade Syndicate, Tuk fights like he drinks—recklessly—and somehow makes it work. After “liberating” the priceless katana Moonfang, he’s carved a reputation as a street-born duelist who turns bad odds into big payoffs.
Why You’ll Want Him
Thug with teeth: A frontline Silvermoon “Thug” who actually threatens elites once Moonfang is drawn.
Risk manager: Choose whether to re-roll a poor die—bank solid results or push your luck when you need a spike.
Syndicate synergy: Plays perfectly with the faction’s abundant re-roll engines, compounding consistency and burst damage.
Momentum maker: Punishes overextensions, forcing enemies to respect a Thug like a true duelist.

Playstyle: Open with safe percentages, then flip the table when it matters—Tuk shines when you calibrate risk to the board state.

The thriving port of Jima is the beating heart of the Silvermoon Trade Syndicate’s operations. For generations the merchants of the syndicate have been the trade life blood of the Jwar isles. From the great gambling halls, where fortunes are won or lost, on the roll of a single dice or the draw of a card. Their power lies not the in military might of the Ito, Takashi or Minimoto but in the stranglehold they have on trade. And not only the trade of goods, but of the secrets and whispers of even the most pious. Some would liken the Silvermoon to the flip of a coin. Pay your debts and you come up in the sun with the fortunes smiling, cross or try to cheat them and you’ll be in the dark and covered in dirt.
