High health and damage melee cavalry that provides an aura that increases attack speed of nearby military units. Effective against melee units. Limited to one per Daimyo Estate built.
Deflective Armor (passive): Blocks one melee or ranged attack, recharges in eight seconds when out of combat.
/ Daimyo Aura/Daimyo Rally Cry (passive): The Daimyo grants all human military units within a 6-tile radius +10%/+15%/+20% melee, ranged, and torch attack speed per Age. The Sword Hunt Statue increases this buff to 40%. If the Daimyo is killed, this buff lingers for 10 seconds under the alternate name of 'Daimyo Rally Cry', which otherwise has the same effects, except for that it also affects Villagers. The buff does not stack with multiple Daimyos, and even though both the Daimyo Aura and Daimyo Rally Cry icons can both appear on a unit at once, only one will apply at a time.
Note: The in-game ability description for the Daimyo Aura incorrectly states that Daimyo will increase the movement speed of units by +0.2, and it does not correctly update the Daimyo Rally Cry bonus if the Sword Hunt Statue is built.
