The Use of Clan Unique Units

[Teutonic Ritterin]

1. Shimazu Heavy Gunner
The best Anti-Cavalry Matchlock units,while being destructive to infantry formation.
Fun Fact: The Knockback effect is very effective to cavalry units,since when a cavalry unit is knocked back it's an instant death,while infantry can still stand up.
2. Otomo Donderbuss Cavalry
High Damage Low Range Cavalry,pretty much valued for their Shocking bullets.
Fun Fact: Killed many of it's own allies when not careful.
3. Mori Wako Raider
a Mix of Ashigaru+Katana Samurai+Kisho Ninja,a good unit that's probably OP at some point.
Fun Fact: They're so cheap and effective because mori doesn't have any land special units.
4. Chosokabe Daikyu Samurai
a Mix of Bow Monks,and Bow Samurai.
Fun Fact: While being obsolete to Bow Monk,this unit are intended to be your bow monks replacement,if you go Christian.
5. Hattori Bandit
a Sneaky Bow Ashigaru.
Fun Fact: They're not worth it when fighting toe to toe,but use them with some dishonor,and you'll know their purpose
6. Marathon Monk
Support unit.
Fun Fact: They're the only non garrison,or hero unit that has Second Wind.
7. Oda Long Yari Ashigaru
I would lick that long daick.
Fun Fact: pair them up with bow monks that only attacks ranged units,and some yari samurai in the flanks and you'll just steam roll the enemy.
8. Tokugawa Mounted Gunner
When CA are just lazy to add Matchlock Cavalry
9.Takeda Fire Cavalry
a mix of General,and Yari Cavalry.
Fun Fact: While being slightly stronger than Yari Cavalry,they're so expensive that they rarely take Yari Cavalry place.
10. Hojo Hand Mortar
Fire Bomb Thrower X7 Range
11. Date bulletproof Samurai
A Mix of Yari and Naginata Samurai
Fun Fact: I want to complain to CA,why did they limit this unit.

Daikyu Samurai are extremely strong. They have longer range than any other archer unit in the game has. Accurate as hell as well. Give them golden accuracy and they will crush anything the enemy is sending at you.

*Cough Cough*
See Chosokabe Bow Monks Accuracy and Reload Speed,and Compare it to Daikyu Samurai.

but to my research,I do belive that Daikyu Samurai is intended for players that will go Christian,when Going Christian,the player lost access to monk units,and the most popular are the bow monks,so the Chosokabe are the only clan that has 175 range archers,even as a Christians.

Daikyu are actually a good counter to bow warriors and other bow units in general because they have more sodliers per unit.... more missile damage, twice the armour and you can field 3 of them for the same initial cost and upkeep as fielding 2 bow warrior monks.
Also generally from my experience if you put these two units in 1v1 the daikyu will win 90% of the time.
I don't think Daikyu were intended as the Christian choice simply because there high damage seems to cover the area of firearms you would be using if you went christian.
As a general ranged unit Bow warrior monks are better but the Daikyu was never meant as a general unit its for countering other bow units and targeting high armour expensive enemy infantry.

Takeda fire cav have way way way way way more staying power in a melee then Yari Cav the upkeep cost difference is negligible, you can field 8 yari cav to every 7 fire cav.
Not to mention early in a campaign they are really usefull for keep your own Yari from routing.

You managed to miss probably the best early to med game infantry in the game.... Ikko Ikki loan sword ashigaru and one of the best cav units in the game Ikko Ikki Naginata Warrior Monk Cavalry.

Bow monks have crappy armor = weak against other missiles. Daikyu are better in this regard.
