Yaga's Personal Mentorship
Janna's Puppet Craftsmanship
Atsusa's Team Training & Exercises

Yasha favors the Pincer Strategy, seamlessly weaving between Aggressive Assault and Ambush tactics while maneuvering themselves and their puppets to encircle an enemy and attack from multiple fronts. They have a bad habit of not backing down unless absolutely necessary.

Frontliner or Flanker. With their Puppetry, sometimes they can effectively cover both.

Versatile; Close to Mid-Range is best.

Frontline Fighting
As a puppeteer, Yasha's fighting style is a bit unique; they specialize in various weapons and dislike hiding in enclosed spaces, so they're often engaging in direct combat themselves. They're decent at multitasking as well, proven able to fight competently while simultaneously using chakra strings to maneuver their puppets and weapons.

Bait & Switch Tactics
Yasha has two puppets, Ichiban and Nigou, that are made to be their doppelgänger. While they are identical in likeliness, they have different tasks. Ichiban is designed to be the bait (Puppeteer), while Yasha and Nigou act simultaneously as a "puppet duo".

Weapons Specialist
Since Yasha actively fights alongside their puppets, they have aspired to be proficient in multiple weapons and practice them regularly. This includes: Bone Cleaver, Hachiwari, Kanabo (Long/Short), Naginata, Rope Dart, and Meteor Hammer.

Puppetry
Ichiban ( 一 番) "Number One" : Designed to take the fall and "play dead" in order to lower the enemy's guard. Their head is a detachable explosive while their ribs are a loaded spring blade mechanism meant to surprise and "clutch/cut" anyone who approaches them. Additionally, Ichiban is made with normal leg prosthetics to add to the illusion that they are human.

Nigōu (二号) "Number Two" : Run interchangeably with Yasha and is made of incredibly durable materials, in order to help run down and herd their enemies into a pincer attack. Yasha spends most of their time impersonating Nigou, doubling their chakra strings, body swapping with Nigou for unavoidable hits, and wearing running blades to add to the illusion that they are not human.

Sanmai (三枚) "Three Sheets": A large centipede made of ironwood, metal plating, and seal reinforcements. Used primarily to grapple/capture living targets but can also separate itself into smaller segments that act as impromptu shields. The initial draft for this puppet started out as a set of simple hexagon panels that Yasha kept on hand and could freely move with chakra strings.

Yon (四) "Four" or Shibo (脂肪) "Grease": Yasha's all-time favorite, initially made for fun. It's a leopard gecko, slightly longer than one's hand length that has a simple tank, nozzle and ignition mechanism. The tank is attached to a storage seal with an absurd amount of flammable oil which Yon can spew and set on fire.
