Gameplay
Sohei are a relatively cheap way to have the Heavy Weapon capability, which gives them an advantage over pure Swordsmen units like Ashigaru and puts them on par with Spearmen in terms of Capability matchups. That being said, their lack of armor and average if not raw unit quality, combined with their small unit size, can make them a less-than-ideal choice for a frontline unit. Being Warriors who lack Impact capabilities against mounted units, they are vulnerable.
