Total War: SHOGUN 2: Saints and Heroes Unit Pack PC

Bolster Sengoku-era forces in Total War: Shogun 2 with nine elite warrior units from Saints and Heroes. These battle-hardened heroes, from Kiyomasa's heavily armored katana cavalry to Hanzo's stealthy ninja, dominate specific combat roles. Katana cavalry excel in melee with high morale but move slower than peers, while Yabusame bow cavalry snipe precisely on the move. Yari cavalry deliver devastating charges against mounted foes, and naginata heroes like Benkei's Blades and Gozen's Hime Heroines shred cavalry and infantry alike with versatile strikes and arrow resistance. Matchlock heroes unleash deadly accurate rifle fire, nodachi wielders terrify with charges, and tetsubo warriors crush in close quarters. Strategy fans who command elite units in intense battles will find these heroes sharpen their tactical edge on PC.

Bolster your Sengoku-era forces with Saints and Heroes, the new Heroic Unit Pack for Total War: Shogun 2. Honed by years of relentless training and tempered in the fires of battle, these nine elite warrior units excel in their fields, and stand head-and-shoulders above their rank-and-file brothers.
