4 types of forces/units are part of your army (when you start fighting for the shogunate, not before) in Ninja Village. These are Archers, Gunners, Infantry and Cavalry. All these forces need to be unlocked by defeating hostile clans in the map. Check out below how each force works;
Ranks
Gunners: these are the first troops to attack in any given round, if available. They are the ones that have the best damage output of all ranks, but cannot aim shoots at any specific group. Their defense is the weakest and they are placed behind the infantry, which leaves some chances of surviving the first round and attack again.
Archers: archers are the second rank to attack and can choose which group to attack. Although they are not strong and their defense is average, they are placed behind gunners, which gives a second layer of protection when attacked.
Infantry: the third group to attack. This rank is always the one that gets hit the most, so they both work as spear and shield, protecting other units behind them. This is why the biggest proportion of your army should be composed of Infantry, they are the less expensive to upgrade as well.
Cavalry: They are the last to attack, and deal more damage when there’s no cavalry on the other side. They deal less damage than gunners but more than infantry.
Upgrading Forces
You can increase your forces, whether they are cavalry, archers, gunners or infantry, by heading to Menu >> Forces >> Raise Troops.
Villager Battle Formation
There are important things you need to know if you are new to the game. The unit ranks WILL NOT appear in the formation screen until they are unlocked, that means that Villagers won’t get assigned to ranks/types that do not exist just yet. Secondly, how do you assign a villager to a certain rank?. Weapons are what determine where the villager go, NOT skills.
After reading the note above, you should carefully read the list below and see which rank is better both for your villager stats and skills, if they match, then that’s the place in the formation for your character, after that, choose your weapon accordingly.
