Thread: Samurais - what am i missing?

As i said before, IMO , samurais are way too expensive in general.

I;d rather use an advance guard for example because while they are weaker on average , they also buff the entire team , can actually be used as gatekeepers and are cheap enough to use in rushes.

In case the UP cost is not an issue , and i still want a blocker that can do aoe damage , and be somewhat tanky , i'd rather take an armor mage. They cost on average 4 more up then samurais (30 up for the plats as oposed to shizuka's 26) , but have better dps....on top of it being magical.




There is no thing in the game that the average samurai can do that another class can;'t do better , which is why a lot of samurais go for some sort of niche ability (like chizuru's foresee , or shizuka's life steal or momiji;s ability to transform into a duelist



I for one have shizuka on my non black account , and i have her resting in my baracks and use jessica instead.

They're kind of useless? 20+ cost for a unit you want to drop early for swarmers = no thanks. So, too expensive for early game, and by mid-late swarm stops being an issue entirely since you can drop any of the AOE ranged units that deal with swarm far better. Even the black Samurai is pretty underwhelming. And, yeah, Vanguard Tacticians fulfill the same role Samurai do while also being incredibly useful as a ramp unit.

Anya is basically a usable Samurai who also doubles as either a tank or an actually useful AOE clear, so use her instead.
