Samurai (Alpha)
The Samurai is a melee unit belonging to the Asia faction.
Appearance
The Samurai takes on the appearance of a basic Wobbler wearing a kabuto on its head. It wields a katana, a long and slender Japanese sword, with both hands.
Usage
The Samurai is capable of killing troops with short range, and can be observed charging horizontally, allowing hem to get the first hit on their target. They attack the enemy by jabbing their katana at them instead of swinging down like the Footman. They are quite vulnerable to ranged Units, much like most other melee Units. Since Samurai attack horizontally, they can easily turn around their target due to the force of the attack and with help from the attack speed. As they turn their target around, they will eventually get a hit in and finish their target off. They are quite effective against their Medieval counterparts, the Footmen.
Trivia
- The way that the Samurai unit holds its katana is reminiscent of an actual katana stance, Ko Gasumi no Kamae, a popular Japanese sword stance that is often depicted in pop culture, and is also almost identical to the German Ochs Guard and Italian Posta di Finestra, both in appearance and function.
