Gameplay
To put the biggest difference in the simplest terms this unit can be seen as the opposite of Ashigaru: its weapon has an Impact Capability but no Melee Capability.

However, it is overall a better unit for two reasons: firstly, the Impact Capability is not negated by an enemy unit being protected (making them useful against other spear-armed infantry) and secondly, it has an Impact Capability against mounted units (though it is still not protected against them).

Perhaps the best part is that they are very cheap; even the 800-man version is cheaper (32 vs 36) than the 500-man Ashigaru.
