Strategy/Usage

Before True Form, Masamune has low stats and a questionably useful ability. Overall, his first two forms are not recommended unless you have no alternatives, but they still have some use. They can still be used to dish out decent DPS, but not to the level of his True Form.

True Form

Immortal Masamune increases his usage by raising his stats across the board and receiving more health, allowing him to survive a lot of things more efficiently. It also gives him more range, which is rather significant. Immortal Masamune is rather good for crowd-controlling things like Berserkory and Rain D. due to his fast attacks and Knockback ability.

Talents

Since this unit has decent damage and convenent stats for a generalist overall, investing in his damage and health can be good, as long as he is already boosted. On a similar note, slow immunity, as situational as it is, could still be used on Masamune, to make him your go-to generalist for situations where slow can cause trouble to others. Although it is far less appealing, the same can be said about wave resistance. These talents are only recommended if there are no better alternatives, however, which is probably not very likely.

Lastly, there is knockback. This is a very good talent that makes the unit a way more dangerous crowd controller for enemy armies that feature Red and/or Black, but, due to how situational the ability is in the first place, the talent also ends up being a rather small gain for a high NP cost.
