Creativity: 2½/5. It is just a piece from Chinese chess after all, but the upgrades are interesting.
Theme: 2/5. Not much theme though using a Chinese character for the name has some novelty.
Execution 3½/5. The balance looks pretty fair, maybe even underpowered at the lower levels (where its 'move-only' path can be blocked), but it has very fair comparisons to Knight tiers.
