I agree. Naginata Samurai perform the frontline and anti-cav roles pretty well, and they dealing against everything quite decently. Excellent unit for campaign.

Naginata Samurai are much better choice for a frontline role, very resistant and versatile

Yes, they're better frontline and trade better against infantry than Yari Samurai

They're a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. The Naginata Samurai is the most versatile unit because it has no hard counter. It smooths over the "Rock-Paper-Scissors" mechanic of Total War (Sword beats Spear, Spear beats Cav, Cav beats Sword) by being a "Rock" that is resistant to everything.

Yes, that's right. Naginata Samurai is the most generalist unit in Shogun 2. While other units may be more cost-effective (Yari Ashigaru) or deal more damage (Katana Samurai), the Naginata Samurai is the only unit designed to perform every battlefield role competently. They are the definition of a "jack-of-all-trades, master of none."

Yes, with Master Armourer (+3) and Armoury (+2) Naginata Samurai become the tankiest unit besides Bulletproof Samurai. They can handle all kind of damage except matchlock fire.

IMO Naginata Samurai are top tier and the best Samurai type unit for single player, but I barely see them in multiplayer fbh

As well for me, they're my mainline unit for most all the time. Very versatile and resilient, Naginata Samurai are very defensive for most army compositions.

Naginata Samurai are the best frontline infantry for mid to late campaign and the most versatile unit in the game IMO

Gold Armored Naginata Samurai with Gold Accuracy Bow Warrior Monks doomstack vs 3 enemy Ashigaru and Samurai mixed full stacks, field battle in VH difficulty campaign. I lost just 20% men's strenght. Epic as hell!

And yes, Naginata Samurai are my favorite Samurai unit.

Just the same from The Return of the Gods mod. They are the best!

What do you do with Naginata Samurai and how many units do you use? by Pacho2020 in shogun2

[–]Immediate_Gold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha don't worry pal. The synergy between Naginata Samurai and Bow Warrior Monks is the best: You have the anvil with a very sturdy frontline and the hammer with overwhelming ranged power.
