Kensei (For Honor)

==Summary==
Kensei are the vanguards of the Samurai faction in For Honor. Living incarnations of Bushidō, the samurai way of the warrior, or as close as one can get.
Masters of multiple martial arts, they are trained from infancy to fight and die for their emperor or their fellow samurai without asking why. Kensei wear heavy armor and fight with the nodachi, a longer version of the katana that cleaves enemies in a few elegant and powerful strikes.
Kensei spend their lives fighting and training as they strive to attain a level of perfection few other warriors can ever hope to achieve.
