Monk Rebel

Overview
Monk rebels are found roaming around in the owari region of the map, near the Oda clan. Armed with naginatas, some firearms and sometimes dressed in decent armor, they can give the player rough times early in the game, as their guns can take you out in a single shot if your armor is not good enough. Rushing towards them on horseback is also made difficult as their naginatas protect them well from such an effort.

The best way of dealing with them is to either outnumber them severely, or take them out with ranged weapons. Shooting them is the safest way, as the naginatas of the Monk Rebels will be a threat to even the most elite troops in your army.
