Waist Bow

Biodata

Abilities & Skills

Grappling Throw

• Xiao Wu closes in, locks her hands around an opponent’s shoulder and waist, then twists through her waist and back to throw them 4.
• The technique can exploit an opponent’s unstable footing: Xiao Wu catches Tang San after a feint shifts his balance and throws him to the floor 4.
• It cannot reliably strike a target that physical attacks pass through. Xiao Wu uses Waist Bow against Luo Yan’s red apparition, but her kick passes through it 29.

Story Role

• Xiao Wu first uses Waist Bow to win her Dorm Seven sparring match against Tang San. His unexpectedly severe face-first landing surprises both of them; the account indicates that something besides her throw altered his trajectory 4.
• Xiao Wu later invokes the technique while threatening to throw Luo Yan during an argument 6.
