  • All throughout the feudal period of Japan, there had been a place for the lowest-class warrior, the Ashigaru, on the battlefield. Despite the lack of fighting skills, such as a Samurai’s, the Ashigaru was nevertheless an important part of the overall battlefield strategy, overcoming more skilled opposition with sheer numbers. The Ashigaru became a central force in group combat, forming the backbone of the army. The Ashigaru Yari were light-foot soldiers outfitted with typical conical helmets, minimal armor, and spears. Their level of training varied but a good army of Ashigaru would hold their ranks and provide the needed support on the battlefield. It is this discipline that Einar sought in the Ashigaru Yari to support his warriors and battlefield strategy. Even on Valhalla, the Ashigaru have a place to fight among the most powerful warriors ever assembled by Einar.
