One of the main uses of the nagamaki was to attack cavalry by cutting at the front legs of the horse to put it down and the rider with it.

Gekokujo mount and blade mod#

Gekokujo is a very realistic mod nowadays, but it started a lot less well researched, and there is still some insanity left here and there. It's a misspell of a bullsРЅiС‚ weapon from some anime, and does ludicrous blunt damage for no reason. (Yes, I know that in real life a nagamaki is a sword, not a polearm. The most versatile polearm is a balanced Masamune nagamaki. A balanced ЕЌdachi, especially one from a master smith like Masamune, is the best two handed weapon, and a terror from horseback. Dedicated teppo snipers are nice for long sieges, but your specialists will become that eventually. Only those without the stats/skills for combined melee/bow should use muskets. So can many lords.ДЇor most of your companions, use bows. With the right armor, and proper maneuvering, a well equipped player can survive quite a few shots. Only head shots are likely to be kills, even at short range. Samurai armor can sometimes absorb musket fire, especially at far ranges. If you are going for a combat based character, use a bow, not a teppo (musket) For the Intelligence and Charisma based companions, use the musket with the highest damage, and give them heavy bullets. They can't do effective damage if you are killing them faster.

Since there are no shields defense by firepower (volume of fire) is a good option. Bows have a higher volume of fire than guns. Teppo is just an old Japanese word for gun. The only companions that get teppo are my healers so they can stay well back from the fighting if they spawn into battle. The increased range and penetration of teppo is nice but not neccesary if you are beast with a bow. LIke I said, I prefer the fast reload and mounted option of a bow. There are some higher quality varieties of teppo available but can be hard to find. As long as you are moving laterally they have a tough time hitting you with missile weapons. Keep moving and use terrain for cover when available. Either camping a hill or circling the enemy as a cavalry archer is quite effective. It has a good compromise between reach, speed, and damage. My favorite melee weapon is a liuyedao (Chinese willow leaf blade). If anyone is left alive they get a blade to the face. Melee weapons work well too but I usually wait until I run out of arrows. A major advantage is that you can use it while mounted. Once you stick some points in skills you can one shot with the best bow. I prefer a bow for rmyself and companions and some gun troops protected by heavy infantry.
