Strategy/Usage

Before True Form, Masamune has low stats and a very situational 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. He receives more health, allowing him to survive a lot of things more easily. He is also given 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 convenient stats for a generalist overall, investing in his damage and health can be good, as long as he is already boosted.

Slow immunity, as situational as it is, could still be used to make him your go-to generalist for situations where slow would cause trouble to others. The same could be said for wave resistance, if it wasn't for Masamune's low health. Either way, both of these talents should be avoided, if the player already owns a generalist for these cases.

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.
