Question Favourite Henchmen [???]

Well, its a simple question.

Who's your favourite Henchmen ???

I really, really like Jubei, his attacks are very powerful and his special-attacks are awesome.

Teleport to an enemy and take him down with a single blow. He can even kill Super-Agents without any help

Jubei is not only the first henchman you get, but he's probably the best in terms of both killing power and utility.

Wind Walk lets him go anywhere on the island instantly, and eviscerate lets him instantly kill almost any single threat afterwards. Whenever anyone gets into my base and sees something they're not supposed to, I pretty much immediately have Jubei fly in and eviscerate them.

He does have a weakness though, and that's many soldiers with long range weapons. In the time it takes to run up and kill each one, Jubei will take a ton of lead to the face and sometimes doesn't live to tell the story.

Yes offcourse.

used wind walk to get up close then used the eviscerate technique. :\

I also tried putting a capture tag on them before attacking, as its easier to get endurance down.

Lord Kane and Jubei are the best henchman in the game. and if you pick the asian crim lord you get both very early.

Kane can actually go and do anything on the world map better then almost anyone and generates no heat on his own.

The Matron is pretty great too but only to support your heavier hitters.

Lord Kane and Jubei, Lord Kane's specials are extremely useful. He can make a a squad of soldiers cower before him or smooth talk them into forgetting anything they've seen and leave the island. While Jubei is powerful with his eviscerate attack and can get to anywhere with wind walk. His only down side is that his normal attacks are slow, he always sheaths his sword before attacking again.

Hands down red ivan or whatever he's called. i mean, the way he blows up my base trying to take out an enemy, often setting himself on fire, is UNPARALLELED.

So annoying. Is it possible to fire him or anything?

the clown Butcher, he kills fast. he chops like crazy. LOL!

but how to gain level? i dont see any panel showing how much exp he needs to unlock ability. i have like 10 hours of gameplay already. the henchmen kill countless of soldier but the ability icons are still gray. what did i miss?

All these Red Ivan comments made me laugh. I'd go with Kane the smooth-talker.

I'd say Eli.
I love it when exceptional soldiers come to the island only to start dancing to Eli's boombox and while they are having fun blow them to smithereens with Ivan. And if I remember correctly it works well in conjunction with the matron too because her electro shock will hit multiple enemies.

I have my own Henchgirl Angel! =3

She is an awesome sniper with Smooth operator and flirty girl(redubbed from motherly love)...
Though I made sure she isn't some overpowered custom made Henchman piece of junk...

She replaces Dr Neuroside as her specials are bloody useless anyway and I don't like her that much... XD

She uses lord Kane's replenishing. =3
Though I am still working on a good animation for her smooth operating as using Lord Kane his animations look just weird... XD
