Ronin are a silver era special melee infantry unit.

In-Game Description

Ronin are masterless samurai, forced to wander the country roads like hedge knights in search of gainful employment. Though they may have been once men of honour, their straitened circumstances alas lead many down the paths of criminality. Despite their chequered reputation, Ronin are skilled swordsmen famous for their devastating Iaido Strike technique, and have often redeemed themselves on the field of battle.

Acquisition

Ronin can be acquired from the Season XVI: Sengoku seasonal challenges. As they are the season's silver era unit, no other units need to be unlocked before progress can be made on their seasonal challenges.
