Compared to other options Shogun's damage doesn't seem that insane. But their increased support potential makes for a pretty interesting class: A support character that deals damage during off turns.
It mostly reminds me of how I used Blade Master Masuraos in EOV, although way more limited.

A Shogun is a great partner for an Upper Stance Ronin. During boss fights you always love that much damage but even while exploring the labyrinth those two work great together since a Great Warrior buffed Air Blade will remove almost any dangerous random encounter enemy in one hit. And for the few that are too sturdy for that Great Warrior into Helm Splitter will kill them unless they hide in the backline.
However giving aggro to your non-Clear Stance Ronin is a terrible idea so you almost need a Protector to survive the drawback of that strategy.

I was having great success with a Shogun/Ninja that could put both Great Warrior and Swift Justice on an Imperial and a Ronin in just three turns. With a Protector I could keep these three alive while havin a great target for Front Command thanks to Line Shield. Losing Unified Effort is a bit annoying but it's a fair price to pay for having a +100% Imperial and a +100% Ronin wailing on the enemy. I usually ended boss fights before my Shoguns ran out of TP.
Binds and ailments were the bain of this party, sadly.


Edit: the Shogun class overview is at the bottom of the previous page

Hi, I haven't forgotten about this. This summer's just been incredibly busy for me, from the game I was contracted to program, to Shadowbringers. Updates will resume soon!

I should note, though, that Aurelis has...vanished off the face of the earth. Neither I nor any of his friends can get in contact with him. As such, unfortunately, we'll have to carry on without him.

Hey. I'm about to start a new LP, so I feel posting an update in this thread is deserved.

I'm putting EON on hold to do an LP of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I'll return to this once 3H is at least significantly done.

EOU will be finished as I'm going through the early parts of 3H.

For now, though, this LP can take a rest.
