Samurai: S tier

An elite aggressive melee choice, best used inside a balanced squad.

Role

Tier
S
Rarity
4-star
Tracked chance
0.06%

Strengths

Adds decisive close-range pressure and works well when another unit keeps the engagement organized.

Limitations

It is not a complete formation by itself, and the extremely low tracked chance makes target-pulling risky.

Best formation use

Give Samurai one clear job and use the other slots to cover missing roles. Recommended partners include Spartan and Crossbowman. A practical four-slot army still needs frontline stability, ranged pressure, and enough mobility to answer objectives.

Upgrade and replacement advice

Do not upgrade from rarity alone. Test whether the replacement improves melee pressure, fixes a role gap, or makes the full formation more consistent. Change one slot at a time so the result is measurable.
