Club Soldier Notes & Tips
- From the unit's Japanese name '太郎(Taro)兵(Trooper/Soldier)', it indicates the solider is from the Taro Troop.
- If you Deflect the Club soldier, when it does that one leg charge hop torwards you and swings its club at the end if you deflect the club swing at the end it, takes a big chunk of it's Posture, plus that charge hop attack tires out the club soldier so you can finish off its posture and finish the fight quickly.
- A pain to fight head-on, best to deathblow from stealth; however they can be easily countered with Divine Abduction's ability.
Club Soldier Lore
- Taro is a Japanese name for boys, From Japanese 太(ta) meaning "thick, big" and 郎(rou) meaning "son". They have small, child-like heads, making them reminiscent of the man-eater, "Executioner Smough
". Their gigantism, and the various lesions across their bodies 
, are likely the result of imbibing Rejuvenating Waters. Lesions and atrophy due to imbibing the waters are found on various enemies, including bandits, zombies, and Senpou monks. The excess skin around their waist suggests that in spite of their size, they are in a constant state of hunger. Their body plan evokes that of the Headless enemies and mimics the DS3 Harald Knight 
. Many among them are charged with burying the dead. Ashina Taro Troopers are raised on a diet of Taro Persimmons, which come from the infected ebony trees of Mibu Village.

Very easy to finish if you parry every attack. It's much easier than trying to dodge the attacks.

Yeah the one Leg hop Charge attack that the Soldier does is the attack that if you deflect the Swing a the end it, this will cause the club soldier posture bar to go up really quickly and for a plus that attack causes the club soldier to rest for a few seconds so you can charge in and slash at it and break its posture before it gets up again.

I’d really like to know why the “female” version of this enemy is always crying before the fight.
This one got the drip
