Long Yari Ashigaru

Peasants armed with spears… Very long spears indeed.

With much longer spears than Yari Ashigaru, these men are much better fighter; both in melee and against cavalry. Horsemen hardly touch this unit before they die, as the spears are so long. Good in melee, but against swordsmen they will not triumph, as their looks can be deceiving; they are Ashigaru after all. Only available to the great ashigaru clan, the Oda.
