Total War: SHOGUN 2 1vs1: Naginata Samurai vs Katana Samurai
Clan: Takeda vs Chosokabe
Battle Difficulty: normal
Player: Naginata Samurai

Naginata Samurai have the highest armor value of all non-special infantry, making them an excellent choice for tanking enemy arrows. Offensively, they are a compromise between yari samurai and katana samurai, with a smaller anti-cavalry bonus than the former and a weaker anti-infantry capability than the latter, but with no glaring weaknesses to speak of. They pay for this with a lack of specialization. However, they are still versatile troops offensively, able to take on almost all types of cavalry and win, and doing well against most infantry. They perform similarly to naginata warrior monks, but have much better armor and more men per regiment at the cost of poorer melee skills. Naginata Samurai are best countered by anti-infantry troops, such as katana samurai, matchlock equipped units, as these weapons ignore armor. When trained by the Date Clan, Naginata Samurai have +2 charge bonus. Hattori Naginata Samurai have kisho training, allowing them to be placed anywhere on the battlefield except the opponent's deployment zone during the deployment phase of a battle. They can also hide in light scrub.

Katana Samurai have good armour and average defence; they can withstand prolonged melee but, due to their lack of a bonus against cavalry, are highly vulnerable against them--particularly if charged from the flanks or rear. Katana Samurai are particularly valuable in the early-mid game, where other factions ubiquitously field Yari Ashigaru and Bow Ashigaru, with few fielding substantial cavalry or other anti-infantry forces. They still suffer if they have to fight frontally against a Yari Wall, however, and function best when attacking from the flank or rear, and particularly when they're well-rested and fighting downhill. Shimazu Katana Samurai have +2 melee attack and +1 melee defense when compared to their standard counterparts. They are also cheaper to train and maintain (costing 650/125 instead of 750/150). In addition, while other clans can only recruit katana samurai after upgrading their training facilities, the Shimazu Clan can recruit katana samurai from the beginning of the campaign, from a region that gives them additional armor and melee attack. When trained by the Date Clan, Katana Samurai have +2 charge bonus. The Date similarly benefit from a blacksmith in their home region. Hattori Katana Samurai have kisho training, allowing them to be placed anywhere on the battlefield except the opponent's deployment zone during the deployment phase of a battle. They can also hide in light scrub.
