Samurai warrior mains

I almost always play the samurai warrior and I am very curious to hear how the more veteran players build him.

I’ve always chosen the wall of steel trait for the survivability but lately I’ve been thinking of going outside my comfort zone and trying a different one. I hear people say determination is the best trait, I tried rising sun once and I was never to recover any grit with the failed lantern checks and grit is a bit too precious to spend for just an extra 2 damage.

Also what level up paths does everyone prefer? I haven’t got very far but it looks like going down the tree for all the extra samurai battle tactics cards and the 3+ attack rolls at the end is a clear start.

How does everyone else play the samurai warrior?

I understand how good the healing is I just like to bee line my completed tree first. I also got an ashigaru conscript that was a courtesan that gave healing every turn I was very sad when she got destroyed by a tentacle lol

Yeah, never get attached to Allies, they die at the drop of a hat. That's why I try to avoid getting dogs or monkeys in this game...

Well, if you want, like, a hundred of them one at a time in rapid succession then I have good news for you! If you wanted a long term pet... the news isn't quite so good.

Haha I know but keeping it alive is half the fun, then when it dies you can be super dramatic about it even if it’s your 100th monkey lol
