Requires: Legendary Sword Dojo

The Kensai (sword saint) is an exceptional
individual who's martial prowess makes him
almost invincible in battle. He is capable of
taking on whole units of enemy troops, and
is ideal for taking and holding key positions
such as castle gates and bridges.

Extra info:
Kensai is the term for "sword saints", the almost
superhuman masters of the sword that only
years of training and dedication can produce.
Although he lived at the end of the Sengoku
period, Miyamoto Musashi was one such figure.

These men were capable of taking on many
opponents at once and emerging victorious and
often untouched. Few nations have ever produced such skilled swordsmen, and possibly only the very greatest fencing masters in Europe could ever be judged to have the same level of skill with their chosen weaponry.

Kensai, as masters of swordsmanship, can only be trained at the most exalted of dojo: a Legendary Sword Dojo. They appear on the battlefield as single warriors, but don’t be deceived — they are truly deadly!
