Must be Synchro Summoned with the above Synchro Material Monsters and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. "Superheavy Samurai" monsters you control can attack while in face-up Defense Position. If they do, apply their DEF for damage calculation. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster while their are no Spell or Trap cards in your graveyard, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.

I don't know how often Superheavies summon Benkei nowadays (last time I checked, he got booted after the new support came in), but suppose this would give them a reason to put him back in. Though, they only have Horagai/Tama-C (or Trumpeter/Battleball if you want to use the TCG names) for Synchro Summoning this, so that doesn't do much.

 

Suppose you can SS Sandals via its effect, then Tribute it for Benkei, then SS Trumpeter with its own effect and go into this.

 

As a whole, it's already a heavy beater that allows your other Superheavies to push for game. The piercing effect works well here though and will cause a good amount of damage, regardless of what it fights (especially in conjunction with the Soul cards). 

 

In all, you still need to summon Benkei in the first place, which again, I don't believe current versions of the Deck use, but perhaps this will be another reason to use it.

 

Although I probably would prefer going into Susanowo a lot of the time if circumstances warrant it (requirements are much less restrictive and because of access to certain cards that they can't use because of their nature), this might be worth a shot trying it out. (Being able to put that high DEF on the other Superheavies to use again would be nice)
