So Kimiko said I couldn't take all of you down at once, WHO'S DOWN?

Good luck with playing 150< ping

One of my ninjas from NA has 85 ping on EU servers(He's from NY).

I have 60-65. When I go to NA I have 150.

Also. Yay for more weaboo clans!

I think I said that, but we'd only need 2 officers max to take you down

In-depth ranking system:

Koshogumi is given only to the most skilled samurai retainers. To become Koshogumi, one must successfully complete the Red Lotus Challenge. Similar to the Lotus Challenge, the Red Lotus Challenge requires that you beat three opponents, only this time it is all at once. Your opponents will be determined by the overseeing officer and are required to have at least Samurai rank.

If this player that's applying for Koshogumi can defeat 3 other officers all at once than those 3 officers don't deserve to be officers or the guy applying deserves to be much higher rank....

[Auphilia]

The challenge for Koshogumi is against Samurai and Churo ranks. Officers would only participate under the condition that we did not have enough samurai/churo available.

Also, the rank of Koshogumi is skill based. It has nothing to do with leadership and administrative ability. I'd rather have competent leaders than skillful ones.  Thankfully, all of my officers are some of the most skillful samurai in this clan, so this wouldn't be a problem anyways. There is not a single samurai in NA who could best three of my officers at once.

Hmm maybe not a samurai... but maybe a... one handed swordsmen....

Try using the same weapons we use, if you want the same difficulty we have when facing each other.

A lot of clans use a bunch of OP weapons, purely because they are OP lol. We used the gimped stuff, because it's awesome

I'm probably the only person in NA using the hafted blade right now. It isn't a great weapon, but it looks cool, and I do fine with it.

I mean we already understand that longswords are better than katanas, and a lot of armors out spec strange armor, etc. And that ranged and throwing demolishes us lol. We just picked a theme and roll with it. I can beat myself with European weapons and armor too, doesn't make me better than myself. 

Would be really cool to start seeing more theme based clans though. When I was a noob I imagined that Chaos would be a bunch of barbarian looking dudes with mainly axes.

Lol this is the true face of stratia as far as im concerned even if our current roster of plat styles doesn't accurately represent it.

 Still, i'm glad to see you guys doing this theme, although I don't think the Katana is gimped at all, but inf act an awesome weapon!

[Auphilia]

So pretty much a Rhodok theme? Nice illustration btw.

Also on the katana, would you not say that a longsword is better than a katana in most cases? If it is better, then why does the katana cost 150% the price of a longsword? Steep price to pay for something that can get out-ranged by a one-hander. I won't even start on the wakizashi's cost efficiency.

Let's not forget how the yumi's projectile speed is slow enough to catch the arrow in midair. Which contradicts physics entirely. The single factor that should make one bow do more damage than the next, is projectile speed. Nothing else. There really is no good excuse for the yumi, imo.

But yeah katana is fun and awesome, just there are cheaper and better weapons.

It's the weaboo tax. Get used to it. It's not going anywhere.

[Auphilia]

LOL, makes sense. I should have known. 

[Havoco]

gl with the clan weeabos.

[Ninja_Khorin]

LOL, makes sense. I should have known. 

I guess it's more annoying to samurai than it is to Ninjas. My total equipment cost is about 13k. Katana is like 2/3 of that. Lamellar is the rest.

[Ohayashi]

The mod could use some Heraldic Strange Armor with Sashimonos, just sayin'.
