Enemies

For bosses, see Bosses

Enemies are the units that face the hero in the game. They are the hordes of the shogun's army and their goal is to stop the hero from reaching the Shogun. There are a variety of enemies that the player can face in their journey to kill the Shogun.

Trivia

• The Twin Tachi and Yari Master enemies launch their attacks, even if the attack hits an enemy. This is one way of getting rid of enemies without attacking yourself.
• A Warden or a Shielder can not be elite. This is because some traits are not compatible.
• If a Smoke Bomb kills a Warden, the Warden swaps positions with the attacker, and then the Warden dies and explodes.
• Summoners only spawn in boss fights. They also always are present at the start of the fight.
• Some behavior related to the Copycat Mirror tile:
  • The Kabukai enemy and Sato the Stagemaster can quickly launch their Copycat Mirror attack as if they are Quick-Witted.
  • The Copycat Mirror tile can not get tiles like Lightning and Trap as they would target enemies.
  • An elite Kabukai enemy with Double-Strike can not get Double-Strike on tiles like Grappling Hook.
  • If a Copycat Mirror tile gets Crossbow, the attacker will still launch the attack even if the attack hits an enemy.
  • The Copycat Mirror tile can sometimes go for free-play tiles like Curse and Swap Toss. This is one way of seeing the tile sprite of Curse or Swap Toss without the Free-play enchantment tile sprite in-game.
