Why both rank highly

Recent tier-list coverage places Samurai and Immortal among the strongest options, but they should not be treated as interchangeable. Samurai is selected to create threatening melee pressure. Immortal is selected to absorb pressure and protect the formation behind it. The better choice depends on the problem your other three slots cannot solve.

Pick Samurai when

Choose Samurai when your squad survives first contact but struggles to convert that survival into kills or objective momentum. Support it with a unit that prevents early focus and a ranged or mobile option that punishes the enemy response. Do not expect one aggressive slot to repair a formation with no anchor.

Pick Immortal when

Choose Immortal when your damage line is strong but loses its firing time, or when you need a stable first order on Defend. Its value is multiplied by the units behind it. A defensive anchor without meaningful follow-up only delays the same loss.
