Total War: SHOGUN 2 1vs1: Katana Hero vs Katana Samurai
Clan: Takeda vs Chosokabe
Battle Difficulty: normal

Like other hero units, Katana Heroes are limited to one regiment, and have a scant number of men. They make up for this with superlatively good statistics, boasting superb attack, defense, charge, and morale. Their morale of 40 means that they often fight to the last man, should the need arise. Their armor is a cut above that of Katana Samurai, making bow fire less effective against them. However, their limited numbers make them vulnerable to armor-piercing matchlocks, and their status as katana infantry makes them vulnerable to cavalry despite their superior attributes.
Shimazu Katana Heroes have +3 melee attack, +2 melee defense, and +2 charge bonus when compared to their standard counterparts. They are also cheaper to train and maintain (at 1,500/200 respectively rather than the standard 1,600/250). When trained by the Date Clan, Katana Heroes have +2 charge bonus.

Katana Samurai have good armour and average defence; they can withstand prolonged melee but, due to their lack of a bonus against cavalry, are highly vulnerable against them--particularly if charged from the flanks or rear. Katana Samurai are particularly valuable in the early-mid game, where other factions ubiquitously field Yari Ashigaru and Bow Ashigaru, with few fielding substantial cavalry or other anti-infantry forces. They still suffer if they have to fight frontally against a Yari Wall, however, and function best when attacking from the flank or rear, and particularly when they're well-rested and fighting downhill.
Shimazu Katana Samurai have +2 melee attack and +1 melee defense when compared to their standard counterparts. They are also cheaper to train and maintain (costing 650/125 instead of 750/150). In addition, while other clans can only recruit katana samurai after upgrading their training facilities, the Shimazu Clan can recruit katana samurai from the beginning of the campaign, from a region that gives them additional armor and melee attack. When trained by the Date Clan, Katana Samurai have +2 charge bonus. The Date similarly benefit from a blacksmith in their home region. Hattori Katana Samurai have kisho training, allowing them to be placed anywhere on the battlefield except the opponent's deployment zone during the deployment phase of a battle. They can also hide in light scrub.
