Purchase the Samurai Faction on Forgefire!
The Samurai of Smash Up face their enemies with a spirit of calm, ready to face their end in battle if their lord requires it. Using dueling, the samurai will take down their enemies, or die gloriously. No broken cavalry or ring‑bouncing required! Samurai are from the Oops, You Did It Again set and do not have a Titan card.
Complexity Level: MEDIUM
Mechanics
- Gaining Benefits From Going To Discard From Play
Samurai's mechanic revolves around getting benefits after one of their minions goes to the discard pile from play. This can happen for example when the minion is destroyed, or when it's discarded from a base either because it scored or because it's removed. The benefits are quite varied, including card draws, power boosts, VPs or extra card plays.
