Unspecified reason

Samurai who have fallen into banditry. Though they are called the Nobushi, they do not have a centralized organization.
They possess highly-advanced sword skills and also use crossbows to ambush opponents, using any means to win. Those who have abandoned the title of a martial artist often abandon their dignity as well.
Sometimes they even collude with the Treasure Hoarders or Fatui out of a greed for wealth — or simply to survive.

The Nobushi: Kikouban (Japanese: 野伏・機巧番) are samurai enemies.

Abilities and Attacks

Sword Slash: Performs a simple quick-slash at the player.
Sword Dash: Readies their weapon on the hilt before dash-slashing at the player. This move is always accompanied by the signature glint on the hilt, shared between all variations of Nobushi as they prepare to unsheathe.
Crossbow: Draws a crossbow and fires a single bolt at the player if they are too far from the Kikouban. The shot deals Electro damage.
