nyxnyxnyx - 5/5
The military half of the Hotaru-Toturi double-ring team. He’s a Bushi, unlike Hotaru who’s not a Courtier so he’s slightly better. Then you realize you can Charge or Kitsu Spiritcaller him back and realize he’s actually a lot more supported than Hotaru is in Crane. Way of the Lion(s) is also busted with Toturi.
 
Kingsley - 5/5
WARNING: This card has had an unusual ruling made on it that makes it weaker than you might think; if you use this ability after winning a conflict on defense, the attacker gets to target the ring! While Toturi is a military mirror of Hotaru, he's also more powerful thanks to powerful synergy with various effects. Note that Charge! and Kitsu Spiritcaller are so efficient at cheating this guy into play that you may often want to favor that rather than playing him normally.
 
Benjoewoo – 4/5
The mirror to Hotaru, Toturi has a little more flexibility because lion has multiple ways to play him without paying his normal cost.
 
I Fight Dragons – 5/5
I recommend reading my review of Doji Hotaru to get a base sense of what Toturi is all about because he’s essentially a mirror of her for military. In short: his ability is good, but not quite at the level of other clan champions’ abilities. Keen observers will notice that Toturi also received a higher rating than Hotaru and that’s because of his synergy with Way of the Lion, Kitsu Spiritcaller, and Charge! where Hotaru lacks the same level of support.
 
Grendel - 4/5
In and of himself the free ring effect is a strong ability. The myriad of ways to cheat him into play push him into overdrive territory.

So I'm missing something here, what do they mean by they can target the ring when you choose to trigger it?

Basically, if you trigger this on defence then "resolving that ring's effects" causes the rings to resolve according to their exact wording, which is "the attacking player..."

 

In other words, you trigger this on defence, your opponent still chooses the targets of the ring effect.
