 * Oiran, Mercenary Showgirl Minion[[image:Malifaux-Oiran.jpg width="400" height="463" align="right"]]**

=__Overview__= Oiran are the Ten Thunders escorts in Malifaux. They understand the power of words, and find their place in the city by whispering secrets and lies, twisting others to their objectives.

=__Mobility__= Oiran have a decent walk and charge.

=__Offense__= Oiran only have their Concealed Weapon, which is close range. If Oiran is Harmless when they make a Concealed Weapon Strike, you can choose to add a positive flip to either the attack or damage flip, which helps them out a lot.

=__Resilience__= Oiran are Harmless, and have two ways to regain Harmless after they have lost it, (1) Sultry, and a Cb trigger for killing a model with Concealed Weapons. Expert Defense improves the benefits of taking a Defensive Stance, giving Oiran an extra positive flip, and only reduces walk and charge by -1/-1.

=__Tips and Tricks__= The Defensive Dance trigger allows Oiran to assume a Defensive Stance after casting Tranquil Dance for a 6+ mask. If you have the card to spare, this allows you to buff your crew or debuff the opponent, if in range, while still protecting Oiran. If fighting a Wp duel heavy list, keeping models around Oiran can be very useful. She can (0) Appealing to give Wp +1, and (1) Tranquil Dance can give a positive flip to Wp Resist Duels to models within 6".

=__Master-Specific Tips__= Colette can hire Oiran, and they would benefit from her buffs, as they are also Showgirls. Viktorias might want to hire Oiran for their Lure and the buffs offered by Tranquil Dance. Misaki benefits much like the Viktorias.

Lure is a great utility spell that can be used to help move your own crew around as well, remember that the defender can always choose to draw the result so Lure gets off and moves your model out of harms way

=__Minion-Specific Tips__= (Any synergies/tricks with other minions worth mentioning, possibly also alternatives and why they're better/worse)

=__Playing Against Oiran__= Oiran make themselves difficult to target and effect through Harmless and Expert Defense. You may want to save a control card for the Wp against Harmless.
