Samurai Master (Alpha)
The Samurai Master is a melee unit belonging to the Asia Faction. It is an upgraded version of the Samurai.
Appearance
The Samurai Master appears as a Wobbler, either red or blue. It also holds a katana with both hands above its head, in the stance of Jōdan-no-kamae. On their head, it wears a kabuto like the Samurai. They also have a samurai flag on their back and it notably appears to have a mask. The tip of its katana glows when they attack.
Behavior
(Open Alpha) - The Samurai Master will charge at the nearest enemy unit, when they get in close range they will jump/frontflip over the enemy and will usually hit the head of their enemy with their sword while in mid-air, similar to an Axe.
(Closed Alpha) - The Samurai Master will charge at the nearest enemy unit and when in close range, instead of jumping over their target and hitting them in mid-air, they swing their sword downwards much like Axes and Barbarians.
Usability
The Samurai Master can be used for jumping over shield formations allowing them to take out the Shields and units behind them.
They can also be used to take hits and to round up enemy units into one pile allowing for other units like Ninjas, Cannons or Archers to clean up easily. They can be used to lead a push or take out a high health enemy. This can also be a single tank unit and kills a horde of weak health units.
Strategy
To kill the Samurai Master, you may use any of the high tier Misc. units, ranged units with knockback (Catapults, Cannons, Muskets, etc) or crowds of melee units, though the latter may be less effective. A bunch of Energy Swords can easily kill a Samurai Master, due to the high damage of their swords.
Trivia
- The tip of the Samurai Master's katana glows.
- As of the Closed Alpha update, it does not flip at their opponents. Instead, it swings downward.
