Shogun squires can't fight

[olele olala]

every time i try to make them attack a portal they die because a greedling runs at them. i guess this is because they have no shield as opposed to the european squires? it's really frustrating because i can get maximum ten hits on a portal before they all get hit by a greedling, and this makes me lose archers too because they just stand there and won't run away.
how do i make them not get hit? :(

Have you tried buffing them up by giving them coins?
Disclaimer: I haven't tried shogun yet, but I presume the mechanics are the same.

The samurai and squires function exactly the same, you give them extra health by providing them with coins. Unarmored samurai can carry up to 3 coins, which allow them to take 2 full hits before dying on the 3rd. But even still, as long as they have coins in their inventories they can sometimes take a hit without losing a coin, this is luck based and doesn't happen all the time.

But you can ensure a portal attack is more likely to succeed by following the army with a sack of coins, and dropping coins onto your samurai as they lose them to keep their health up.


Even though they don't have shields, they have the same block animations, but instead of blocking with a shield, they block with their bare hands (Like a boss!)

ah, thank you for this insight, i didn't really notice whether or not it really made that much of a difference with the european squires according to the money and such. thank you :)
