How to Master Kenshin Uesugi in Samurai Warriors

Unlock him! Kenshin is one of the first characters available.

Plow them down! Kenshin hits harder than nearly everyone else. With the size of his weapon, it's no wonder. Equip the power bracer and Himiko's Rune to make him extra powerful. He's practically invincible.

Use just the first two attacks in his normal attack string when you need a quick, forceful punch. Aside from the final blow, the first two hits work the best.

Give him the Matsukaze! Like the other powerhouses, Kenshin moves very slowly. The tengu sandals can go only so fast. He's not too bad on quick runs. But longer battles with objectives at opposite ends of the map can drag him down. As always, the Matsukaze is the best horse for the job.

Ride into battle! Not only does a horse give Kenshin mobility, it also gives him an excellent opportunity to attack. Kenshin has the highest natural Horse Attack Power in the game. Using him on a horse is a surefire way to make your enemies run in fear.

Let it rip! Kenshin's musou attack is one of the more powerful on its own. With it, he can easily defeat eight to ten enemies with a single blast. For even better results, knock the mob down to about half-health before using the musou attack.

Charge! Kenshin's running charge attack is one of the more potent in Samaurai Warriors. It's capable of defeating several opponents in a single move. Make sure you use it on tightly-grouped mobs.

Use his first charge attack to clear out mobs of charging enemies.

Use his third charge attack to chase the crowd away when you're surrounded. His charge time is a little long; but getting hit doesn't stop Kenshin. Watch those soldiers fly when he lets loose!
