Tactical Opposition
It is worth noting that Tactical Movement aside, you can always provide Tactical opposition - as a free action, you create opposition to something that one individual is doing.   So in the previous example, Tan Dun might have been better off with Tactical Opposition of “I keep myself between Amethyst Ting and Number Seven Swallow”, rather than trying to cover four specific spaces.   But if there were multiple attackers, Tan Dun’s options become constrained - either spend a full action on general Tactical Opposition (”I defend Number Seven Swallow from all comers”), or use the Movement Difficulty effect.
