While the teachings of the Naginata Monks shun all weapons, the naginata is a weapon that can be learned quickly and also functions as a staff. As desperate times call for desperate measures, the temple monks took to arms to defend their homes. These organized fighters can mount counterattacks without fear or hesitation.
This Unit can brace its weapons and charge forward, bringing the fight directly to its foes.
