From Art of Conquest Wiki
Elite swordsman part of a hereditary warrior class.
Wandering Samurai warrior not pledged to a feudal lord.
Peerless master of the sword whose consummate skills engender terror in the enemy.
Samurai are medium sized tanks with one key feature. At Silver and Gold ranks they are immune to moral collapse. This makes them a beast to clear out as they just don't quit and everyone will have to kill every single one of them every time. Not to mention that they do decent damage as well. They are however susceptible to area damage and larger units but the Gold rank has some damage mitigation that helps with this.
