Strategy/Usage

Shiro is a backline attacker with fairly standard base stats and an inconvenient multi-hit timing, making him good mainly for tanky enemies without much range, but rather unreliable once enemies with long range and/or many knockbacks come into play. His massive damage ability is still an effective weapon against Black enemies, but, due to their high knockback counts, most Blacks can be expected to clump up in front of Shiro while he is idle, only to be hit by Shiro's first hit and missed by the others.

Against Aku, the multi-hit is both a blessing and a curse. Why a blessing? Because if the damage was done all at once, then it would often get wasted on a weak Shield, resulting in even an Aku Doge surviving his attack. Instead, if the first 1-2 hits of his attack are enough for a Shield, then the remaining one/ones will damage the enemy, instead of going to waste as overkill damage for the shield. This however, is only a blessing against weak Shields and largely a curse against larger Aku.

Shiro's curse is the stagger mechanic. If an Aku enemy has, say, 3 staggers, then the Shield will regenerate after each stagger, making it the player's interest to skip enemy staggers, something that is nearly impossible to do when your damage is split into three hits. A solo Shiro will usually trigger every stagger due to this and will sometimes increase Aku's total effective shield health when not paired with other heavy attackers. Multi-hit is far more detriment to his overall Anti-Aku usage and completely negates the little advantage that it brings against weak shields.

Shiro can also be used effectively against Aftermath Enemies, like Condemned Peng and Surge Attackers such as the Surge Base, though he won't last long if the surge kills the units in front of him, making the use of fragile meatshields without Surge immunity not recommended if you wish for this Wargod to stay alive.

Appearance

• Normal Form: Machinery covered by a cape. A masked head stands on top, with some sort of mechanical halo, which is used to attack, behind it.
• Evolved Form: Mostly the same, but fancier, darker and with the mask embedded in a large sword or stake.

Trivia

• Amakusa Shirō was the teenage leader of the Shimabara Rebellion. Though taken captive, executed and beheaded at the age of 17, he was able to say: "I shall return after 100 years and take my revenge!" as his last words before dying.
  • After his death, Shirō's head was displayed on a pike in Nagasaki as a warning to Christian rebels, which could explain why Wargod Amakusa's mask is embedded in a sword- or stake-shaped object.
