Total War: SHOGUN 2 1vs1: Date Bulletproof Samurai vs Gatling Guns (Fall of the Samurai) Clan: Date vs Tosa Battle Difficulty: normal Date Bulletproof Samurai are essentially superior variants of Yari Samurai with unique, bullet-resistant armor. Despite their name, Date Bulletproof Samurai aren't immune to gunfire. However, they are highly resistant to it, as well as being well-protected against arrows. This makes them excellent frontline units, capable of tanking ranged attacks with ease. Their bonus against cavalry make them a useful deterrent to mounted units, as well. Finally, they have higher melee stats than Yari Samurai, allowing them to easily clean up missile units and ashigaru, though they may struggle against dedicated anti-infantry troops like Katana Samurai. Date Bulletproof Samurai are slower than other foot units, though this isn't too much of a problem if they are used defensively. They can overcome their deficiency in movement temporarily by activating their Rapid Advance
