—Age of Empires II description |
The Mounted Samurai is a heavy cavalry unit in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. The unit appears in the Kurikara scenario in Battles of the Forgotten.
Despite being named a Samurai and being a heavy cavalry unit, the unit takes the appearance of a Hussar (which the Japanese cannot train). It does bonus damage to unique units, like a Samurai.
Though initially the armor seems high, the lack of Plate Barding Armor for the Japanese makes it even with the armor of a Paladin.
Though the unit is not a hero, it cannot be converted by Monks and can regenerate hit points exactly like a hero.
