Defeating Shiro With Just Heroes/Henchman

It would appear that Heroes can't get their Celestial Skills. (At least, I can't find a way to get it to them.)

I was really hoping to take Koss and Zenmai with me into the final battle (along with another hero and 4 more Henchman) and see how we'd do with the Assassin's Celestial skill combined with a few Warriors. However, it looks like that's not really possible.

I think the Henchman use Celestial Skills, but I'm not positive.

Either way, has anyone had any success in defeating Shiro with Heroes/Henchman as a Warrior primary? Any tips?

(I've already got Master's on it, I just want to try the challenge of beating him "solo".)

okay try this, try using all W/R's for you and your heros + one A/R, all with pets, then get warrior henchmen and assassin henchmen. Then get them all to attack Shiro, and Use Storm of Swords, he should go down quite quickly

I figured as much. I've also been dying to try to get a full W/R team in there but I forgot about it till this post :P

Glad to see it works

lots of melee and shiro goes down in a couple of seconds

Excellent! Thanks, Shinto. Can't wait to give it a shot tonight!

There aren't assassin henchmen in Imperial Sanctum. I use necromancer henchmen for their Celestial Horrors. Also, bring Wild Blow to cancel Shiro's Battle Scars, as if he uses Battle Scars and Impossible Odds together he will mow down anybody nearby.

thanx guys, cant wait to kill him some more now

I've done it with just Henchmen, and I got masters with it.

I was a ranger, and I used the 2 monk, 2 war, 2 necro, and i think the ele henchmen to do it.

I'd just like to point out that the last mission in Cantha is actually easier to do with henchmen than heroes. Henchmen ge the celestial skills and use them immediately, Heroes don't get them at all.
