Warzone Unit Spotlight: Mishima Ronin Samurai
Spotlight: Mishima Ronin Samurai
In the Lore:
The culture of the Mishima Corporation is founded on honour and martial pride. Mishiman citizens are fanatical about their status within society and the honour it brings; it is core to their being and sense of self. If one falls from grace or loses status they may find themselves a Ronin Samurai. Such occurrences are frequent and are often beyond the control of the individual in question. If or when a liege-lord and his entire fiefdom are destroyed, for example, in war or by the actions of a rival lord, the surviving, but masterless Samurai are scattered. Some complete ritual suicide, an act known as seppuku. Others become Ronin Samurai. Many other Samurai find themselves without honour for all manner of reasons, most common of all is war. Sometimes a Bushido Samurai may be dismissed from service for acting dishonourably, with cowardice or with disregard to the procedures of war.
On the tabletop:
Just like all Mishima unit the Ronin are short ranged troopers that excel at melee. Their two active skills really show this.
Their Active For Honor special skill allows them to reduce their rate of fire to zero and gain +1 to their rate of attack in melee.
Their Active Martial Prowess allows them to increase their anti-vehicle value by +2 for close combat attacks.
