I have a deep seeded hate for Samurai because of Katana Fanboys and the games that cater to thier misconceptions. And I've never really been a big fan of taking a hit the way our Shugoki does. So the only real Chance I had to play as the Samurai in For Honor was the Nobushi since I've actually always liked the Naganata. A sword at the end of pile, GENIUS!! Thing is though I'm allergic to ultra cheap characters so I'm focusing on Warden for a well balanced character. My backups are Conqueror, Warlord and Valkyrie because I have an affinity for shields going way back to the original Legend of Zelda.
