Samurai Swordsman

A Samurai Swordsman

The Samurai Swordsman is a melee-type mob. It has similar AI to other melee enemies, including the Sand Peasant, Sand Giant, Frost Minion, Ice Minion, Pirate Savage, King's Guard, and Demon Warrior. The Samurai Swordsman is a samurai that is wearing a white kamishimo, a straw hat, and dual-wielding katanas. It will chase the closest player or the player that has done the most damage to them unless it is taunted.

The Samurai Swordsman has a base health of 74.53M HP on Insane and 174.9M HP on Nightmare difficulty.

Shuriken Thrower

A Shuriken Thrower

The Shuriken Thrower is a ranged-type mob. It has similar AI to other ranged enemies including Frost Wizards, Pirate Riflemen, Elementalists, and Dark Mages. The Shuriken Thrower is a samurai that is wearing a pink kamishimo, a pinkish straw hat, a pink mask, and is holding a shuriken. Its attack hits almost instantly, making it difficult to dodge. It will target the closest player or the player that has done the most damage to them unless it is taunted.

The Shuriken Thrower has a base health of 74.53M HP on Insane and 174.9M HP on Nightmare difficulty.

Elite Swordsman

An Elite Swordsman

The Elite Swordsman is an AoE-type mob spawned by Sanada Yukimura. It is very similar to the Hitman mob from King's Castle. It has a green kamishimo on, a green mask, a black straw hat, and is dual-wielding. It follows a random player until it gets close enough, proceeding to create an AoE circle around itself that deals a significant amount of damage. This mob is not able to be taunted, making it difficult to fight Sanada Yukimura.

The Elite Swordsman has a base health of 97.57M HP on Insane and 218.63M HP on Nightmare difficulty.

Ultimate Swordsman

An Ultimate Swordsman

The Ultimate Swordsman is an AoE-type mob spawned by Miyamoto Musashi. It has a red kamishimo on, has a green mask, a green belt, a black straw hat, and is dual-wielding. They spawn from spiraling smoke, and after a small delay, they spin around in a flaming cyclone. During this, they move at a very fast speed, being faster than a player without speed spells like Illusion Blast or Flame Cyclone, though will be the same speed of players using other speed spells. They deal high constant damage when near the player. After about three seconds of spinning, they will vanish.

The Ultimate Swordsman has a base health of 111.8M HP on Insane, and 262.36M HP on Nightmare difficulty.

Bosses

Sanada Yukimura

Sanada Yukimura

Sanada Yukimura is the first mini-boss in Samurai Palace. He is equipped with a retextured verision of the Samurai Guardian set, and is dual-wielding green katanas. He has a total of three moves (one being passive).

Elite Samurai Reinforcements [Passive]: Every ~11 seconds, Sanada will summon Elite Swordsmen, that swordsmen will target to the cloest player or to the player that has done the most damage to them. When closed to the player, the Elite Swordsmen will create a green circle spinning, and dealing AoE damage. When the Elite Swordsman is defeated, it grants 14500 EXP in both difficulties.

Tri-Shuriken Throw: Sanada will throw three green shurikens again twice, and will repeat this cycle.

Magic Shuriken Attack: While the Tri-Shuriken Throw attack is happening, four green stars appear in the middle of the battlefield every so often, creating lines in the formation of crosses. It's recommended to be along the sides of the arena to have a better chance at dodging these lines.

Sanada Yukimura has a base of 390.28M HP on Insane, and 874.54M HP on Nightmare difficulty.

Ancient Golem Guardian

The Ancient Golem

The Ancient Golem Guardian is the second mini-boss in Samurai Palace. It's an ancient golem that is made out of rocks, boulders, and has two red eyes. The Ancient Golem Guardian has a total of two moves.

Rock Fall: The first attack will have a single rock target on a random player's position falling down from the sky dealing AoE damage. After the Rock Fall attack, a couple of rock shards will fall down from the sky dealing AoE damage. Before using the same attack a second time, it's recommended for players to split up during the Rock Fall attack. The Ancient Golem Guardian will use this move two times in a row before using another move.

Rock Slam: After the golem uses the Rock Fall move, it will then drops a rock in front of itself, dealing damage if it hits a player, then slams its hands into the rock, creating multiple damaging lines outwards. The cycle repeats after that. It's recommended to be far away while he uses his rock slam attack.

The Ancient Golem Guardian has a base of 406.55M HP on Insane, and 962M HP on Nightmare difficulty.

Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi is the final boss of Samurai Palace. He is equipped with a red and orange color version of the Royal Samurai Cosmetic, as well as red and orange color dual-wielding katanas. Miyamoto Musashi has a total of five moves (two being passive).

Lava Floor [Passive]: When players enter Miyamoto's arena, the entire map will be covered with lava (excluding the final boss arena), preventing players from backtracking. (There is a bug with this move where players who are far from the boss arena rather start taking damage 2-4 seconds later the move is activated or don't take any damage at all.)

Ultimate Samurai Reinforcement [Passive]: Every ~17 seconds, Miyamoto will summon one Ultimate Swordsman which spins towards to a random player and vanishes after a duration of three seconds. The enemy summon has an indicator as to where they spawn, shown by smoke spiraling. When the Ultimate Swordsman is defeated, it grants 14500 EXP in both difficulties.

Samurai Spin: Miyamoto will spin and will fire six lasers in quick succession towards random players, another where he creates numerous beams outwards from him (similarly to Demon Lord Azrallik's hand slam attack).

Shuriken Laser Blast: Miyamoto Musashi's final attack involves him summoning an orange shuriken that floats above him every ~11 seconds. It will create a large AoE blast multiple times in random locations.

Flame Burst: Miyamoto will create a multitude of damaging of lines outwards.

Miyamoto Musashi's theme is (raw) Epic Victory Trailer. Miyamoto Musashi has a base of 447.2M HP on Insane and 1.04B HP on Nightmare difficulty.
