Quick overview

The chest with samurai symbols is purely a collector's defensive item - it does not increase your defense on its own, but it increases the number of samurai symbols that drop as loot. If you are pursuing the samurai (eastern) branch and collecting symbols to upgrade your samurai units and equipment, this is exactly the item that will speed up your grind. Player-wise: it is not a combat piece for the front lines, it is an investment in faster collection. Those who do not play the samurai faction will not benefit much from this chest.
How to use it
Equip it in your defensive setup when you are focused on samurai symbols. The bonus works passively as long as you have the chest equipped - it simply increases what you receive as loot, so the more loot from samurai symbols you collect in a given time, the more pronounced the effect will be. However, it will not add any real defensive values, keep that in mind. Once samurai symbols cease to be valuable to you, consider whether you could use the slot in your setup better with something that increases your actual defense.
What to combine it with
It pairs well with other items that increase samurai symbol loot - if you combine several collector pieces together, it drives you all in the same direction towards faster symbol collection. How exactly multiple such bonuses interact, it's better to verify in the game, as not every bonus in GGE stacks the same way. A good idea is to maintain a dedicated "collector" defensive setup for samurai symbols and separate it from a purely defensive setup where you want maximum defensive values. It works hand in hand with grinding samurai equipment and units in parallel, and you need the symbols as soon as possible.
