** Pretty much every siege unit outside of Fire Rockets are considered to be basically useless - they require significant buildings to produce them (likely also requiring a significant investment in requisite arts), slow down armies on the campaign map for having them, and will take a large amount of luck to actually hit any of the enemy. Fire Projecting Mangonels were initially infamous for being a GameBreaker in multiplayer that could easily kill off a player's general while they affected by Inspire, but the Inspire ability's power was reduced and siege units' accuracy was nerfed for this and put siege units into their detested state.

** Yari Samurai are left without much of a role to play, with almost no need to produce them instead of other units. On the surface, Yari units are meant for fighting cavalry, and they are essentially a superior version of Yari Ashigaru with higher stats across the board. However, their inability to form a Yari Wall means that Yari Ashigaru are actually ''better'' anti-cavalry units on top of being much cheaper with less build requirements. Thus, their primary purpose is better achieved by another unit. Even worse, Yari Wall is also effective against infantry as well, meaning that Yari Samurai get crushed by Yari Ashigaru, while Yari Ashigaru can put up a reasonable fight (but still lose) against the anti-infantry Katana Samurai. About the only thing that saves them from complete uselessness is their special ability to temporarily run faster. Since most factions begin a campaign with a unit of Yari Samurai, they can be an early-game cavalry surrogate for flanking maneuvers and chasing down routing enemies. Still, even the weakest cavalry unit is still much faster without the need for a special ability to be activated.
** No-Dachi Samurai trade [[GlassCannon nearly all of the Katana Samurai's defensive abilities]] for higher attack and morale and a much higher charge Bonus, allowing them to potentially [[AlphaStrike quickly overpower and rout enemy formations]] before they suffer from their lack of defense in a prolonged battle. This doesn't work very well in practice, because they're still normal foot soldiers. Cavalry (that move much faster) and Kisho Ninja (who can sneak behind enemy lines) are much better for the flanking maneuvers that GlassCannon units need to perform to fight to their full potential, and their lack of speed in particular means they can often pull off no more than a single shock attack per battle, because they can't engage in hit-and-run tactics. Despite often not performing objectively better in a straight fight than normal Katana Samurai, they also have a higher technology and cost requirement, which means they can't be obtained until at least the mid-game. The only faction that can make somewhat good use of them is the Date clan, whose No-Dachi units are much better (but still not necessarily objectively good).\\
In Multiplayer, No-Dachi's Banzai ability can be extremely useful, as it ensures they keep fighting even when they are about to rout. In traditional versus modern multiplayer battles, No-Dachi are invaluable. Fall of the Samurai gun units effectively ignore armor anyway, so the No-Dachi's lack of armor doesn't matter. The No-Dachi's sky high attack and Banzi ability means they will cut through any gun units they get in melee with like butter, and they can keep fighting even when their moral would otherwise be shot.

** Wooden Cannons in Fall of the Samurai are the first artillery you can make in the campaign, but they are leagues behind literally any other artillery piece, and might even be worse than Fire Projecting Mangonels. Unlike the other artillery, Wooden Cannon shells do not explore on impact, so in the unlikely case the inaccurate cannons actually hit a unit, they might not even kill a single person. The only redeeming quality in single player is that they can force an AI who would normally be defending in a battle to attack, which can be accomplished with any other artillery piece. They have no redeeming qualities in multiplayer.
** While Yari Ashigaru in Yari Wall are the mainstays of armies for much of the game, Yari Samurai are derided in single-player campaigns for costing three times as much as Yari Ashigaru and lacking the Yari Wall ability that makes Yari Ashigaru such a reliable frontline unit. Infact, a Yari Ashigaru in Yari wall will beat a Yari Samurai in a head to head fight. That being said, them and their Rapid Advance ability are considered much more useful in multiplayer given human players are far better at avoiding/shooting up Yari Ashigaru in Yari Wall and won't let you just kill their generals/calvary with slow-moving spearmen as easily.
