Tokugawa Ieyasu armour set + Nag Samurai review: Shogun 2 gameplay by Lewted (Day 288)
The Oda Nobunaga armour set is usually rewarded to those that dared to be different and unorthodox in their strategies and tactics.
The Tokugawa Ieyasu armour set, however, is given to the battle-hardened veteran, one that has over 200 multiplayer battles under their belt, along with 10 victories attacking and defending a castle and other ancillaries. The set looks nice. I'm still trying to get the Multicolour laced and Kato Kiyomasa armour sets, as well as the Blade Master set and retainer.
Naginata Samurai have been discussed many times on my channel, but to truly understand their importance compared to the warrior monks and their staying power compared to Yari Samurai, we have to test them in battle. Naginata Samurai cost 150 more koku than Yari Samurai but 100 koku less than Warrior Monks. What makes them stand out from those two units is the fact that they have 9 armour.
Based on this stream and other battles I used them in, I've come to this conclusion:
Naginata Samurai are meant for a vanguard role against bows and matchlocks, but not against muskets, carbines, and revolvers.
Although Naginata Samurai have 2 less defence than Yari Samurai, they have 3 more attack. Although they have more attack, Yari Samurai have 7 more attack against cavalry. Therefore, Naginata Samurai are meant for the centre of your army as a sort of backbone (similar to Yari Ashigaru).
Comparing Naginata Samurai to Naginata Warrior Monks is difficult. With 2 more attack/defence, it is expected that the monks could beat the samurai fairly convincingly. However, as it turns out, it could be circumstantial. Remember that Naginata Samurai have 9 armour, making them very resilient to bows but armour apparently helps defensively, too. This could explain why the monks have a hard time in prolonged fights.
Naginata Samurai beat Warrior Monks in a 1v1 situation. -- Watch live at
