## Characteristics

The Samurai Giant is a titanic Japanese warrior. They can deflect big projectiles and perform backflips to squash enemy units that comes close, all the while swinging their gigantic katana which does a significant amount of damage. They are one of the four Giants in the game (The others being the Skeleton Giant, Tree Giant, and the Ice Giant).

## Appearance

The Samurai Giant looks like a magnified Samurai. It will use its katana to strike units when they are far away from it, otherwise it will use their "backflip" ability until units are kept at a certain distance from it. Its katana also has a different guard than both Samurai and Shogun, The Helmet uses the Shogun helmet instead of the normal Samurai Helmet.

## Usage

The Samurai Giant, being a giant, is one of the strongest units in the game. It attacks by backflipping which has an AOE effect, and it slashes it's with its Katana, which also has splash damage. It does well against large groups of units thank to its backflip's AOE and it's Katana's splash damage, and it also does well against high health units (e.g. Jarl, Vlad, etc.)

As of the UC Beta, it can now deflect a few projectiles, and the first unit to be able to deflect bigger projectiles, namely the Ballista Bolt, Tank Shells, and Zeus Thunderbolts. Ironically enough, deflecting the latter actually makes it weaker, because 3 thunderbolts are enough to waste their deflecting ability and make it vulnerable to ballista bolts/tank rounds.

## Trivia

* Their sword actually has Splash Damage.
* It is one of 6 Secret units that are dedicated to the Dynasty faction.
* Because of being a Samurai kind of unit, it can deflect projectiles. Making it one of the 6 units who can deflect projectiles, the others being Samurai, Shogun, Lady Red Jade, Celestial Aegis and Thor.
	+ Because the Samurai Giant is big it means that it can deflect Ballista Bolts, Tank Shells, and Zeus' thunderbolts.
		- The Samurai Giant can only deflect three projectile every 5-7 seconds.
* The Samurai Giant's voice sounded just like a regular Samurai, the only noticeable difference being the Samurai Giant had a deeper voice.
	+ This is no longer the case as of the Full Release, as now it has new voice lines.
* A Samurai Giant will have a hard time taking out a Shogun, due to the smaller, faster unit continuously jumping up and slashing at it whilst avoiding the Samurai Giant's flip and katana attacks, though the Samurai Giant still can pull off a victory.
* The Samurai Giant is capable of killing 250 regular Samurai.
* During the spooky update, there seemed to be a bug where multiple Samurai Giants spawned on top of each other when a player enlists them, and they glitched out while doing so.
	+ This has been patched.
* The Samurai Giant's stomp attack is weaker than the katana it uses.
* It will not use its Giant Foot Stomp ability when facing a unit whose hitpoints exceed 3000.
