The kenshi is a creature in Might & Magic: Heroes VI. It is an Elite creature of the Sanctuary faction, and its upgraded version is the kensei.

These honourable and powerful warriors, part of the Deep Nagas (the largest of the three Naga species), are distinguished by their dark scales and faces that are more reptilian than human. They reside in underwater cities at the bottom of the Jade Ocean.^OffBck

	Battle Ready
	“As the ripples subside, the water returns”. Fighting a Naga Kenshi is like throwing a stone into a lake. Their martial art is inspired by the movement and flow of water, that will always return to the place it has been pushed away from. It is thus impossible to attack a Kenshi without receiving a blow in return. The Kenshi may retaliate unlimited times.OffBck
	Challenge
	“It was as if time stood still... and there was only him and me in a cloud of slashing steel and a mist of invigorating blood.” This entry in the diary of the pirate queen Tawni Solace tells of a fierce battle with Nagas at sea. It is the first record she is the first to speak of the challenge of the Kenshis. Once one of these valiant warriors crosses swords with a chosen enemy, it is difficult to attack anyone else but him. Challenges the first attacked enemy stack. Reduces its damage by 45% except on the challenger. Once the challenged target is destroyed a new stack can be challenged.OffBck
