| —In-game description | ||
Mototada is similar to a Daimyo, in which he can train Japanese infantry and cavalry, receive Home City shipments, and have the Saburau Zeal ability which increases nearby friendly units' attack, but have higher hit points and LOS, slightly higher resistance, regenerates hit points over time, and does more damage in melee but, strangely, does less siege damage. Instead of dying when losing all of his hit points, Mototada will collapse and need to regenerate enough hit points to be rescued by allies, much like heroes would.
Abilities[]
