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.

Sometimes they even collude with the Treasure Hoarders or Fatui out of a greed for wealth or simply to survive.
