After a small unplanned break because of technical difficulties i'm back. To start off again on my reviews of wave 19. Starting with samurai sensei Takashi Akio.
For the looks of the model i'm a bit dissapointed he looks bland compared to the concept art in my opinion.
Pro:
A 4 die samurai is always something good to have, he can save up 8 ki which is a respectable amount and can buy an extra melee dice for only 2 ki. This combined with his special attacks: combo attack (0) and critical strike (0) make this a good offensive model. Even when pushed on the defensive this model got some tricks up it's sleeve with impenetrable defense for 3 ki.
Con:
This model is expensive 13 points for a human is a lot and this guy will probably won't get played that often because of it.
Tactics:
The strenght of this model lies in his ability to distribute tokens to make your other models better, just as Oda for the Silvermoon Trade syndicate. But opposed to Oda Akio can stand his ground and deal some damage on his own. Remember to be carefull with Akio though, you take him to boost your force and that's what you pay for.
Fielding Akio means you won't be able to field a lot of models and you need to work around this and play smart with what you got. Not being a Prefecture of Ryu player myself I find it hard to see what would be the best combined with him to get the maximum out of his kenjutsu ability.
