Sengoku Basara/Masamune Date

Masamune Date (Azure Dragon in Devil Kings) is the main character of Sengoku Basara alongside Yukimura Sanada. He is the young leader of his own army, is adept at horse-riding, and epitomizes style. Due to the latter, his army has a gangster-like appearance and he commonly uses English phrases. His skills follow this example, as in the original Japanese version, they have names that are entirely in English.
 * Max HP: 51200
 * Weapon: Six swords
 * Attribute: Lightning
 * Unlock: From start

Masamune usually wields a sword in battle, though he can wield up to six. His use of six swords is activated temporarily after performing a BASARA attack or by using the WAR DANCE skill. However, use of the WAR DANCE skill isn't recommended within large crowds or in the range of a boss due to its long start-up time. In the original Japanese version of the game, Masamune is also capable of using six swords at all times by equipping the Infinite Six Swords accessory, making him much more powerful. Otherwise, Masamune's simple use of swordsmanship makes him one of the more basic characters of the game, and an ideal choice for beginners. His stats are all average, giving him good balance that becomes advantageous on higher levels.

MAGNUM STEP is the most useful of Masamune's skills, as it has a short start-up time and is easily capable of destroying obstacles and defenses such as shields. Some good combos when facing crowds of enemies are MAGNUM STEP followed by DEATH FANG and an aerial psx: S string, finished off by a BASARA attack, or the activation of WAR DANCE followed by an psx: S string, finished off by repeated MAGNUM STEPs.
