Tiger Stripe Shuko

Tiger Stripe Shuko was introduced in the Uprising expansion set for the Flesh and Blood trading card game, released by Legend Story Studios in June 2022. As a piece of equipment classified as a legendary item, it was designed to support the Ninja class, specifically reinforcing the mechanics associated with the set's new heroes. The aesthetic direction follows the game's high-fantasy interpretation of feudal Japanese weaponry, emphasizing a sleek, lethal appearance that aligns with the speed-focused playstyle of its intended class.

The card was illustrated by the artist Livia Prima, who has contributed extensively to the game's visual identity. The design goals for this card were to provide a specialized offensive utility for Ninja players, allowing for a strategic buff to attack actions at the cost of durability. Upon its release, it was widely received by the competitive community as a staple piece for high-level Ninja deck builds due to its consistent efficiency in combat chains.
