Sengoku DaimyoSengoku Daimyo
Sengoku Daimyo commit to specializing in one of three unit types (melee, cavalry, or ranged) through Daimyo Estates, which unlock melee-focused Daimyo cavalry that grant nearby troops attack speed bonuses while clan-specific technologies multiply their chosen unit type's damage and durability, paired with an efficient Matsuri-Yatai food economy that scales into late-game production dominance enabling endless reinforcements.

And switching to Kanabo Samurai, the samurai that do percent damage. Even if Delhi goes for an age up and gets War Elephants, those samurai absolutely obliterate units with high base health, so elephants won't help.

And remember, when Sengoku has a minute to breathe, these units are going to be able to heal up again thanks to the Ryokan. So, this is very good for Sengoku in these intermediate fights. Even if units get a little hurt, they're not going to die; they'll recover just like Delhi's units would with scholars.

At a certain point, the scholar healing is outdamaged by the amount of archers that Sengoku can field.

In this matchup, the biggest challenge is that there's a clear way to beat religion: Shinobi.

Yari Cavalry match up very similarly to Ghazi Raiders actually. They have a better attack speed and similar health, while barely suffering on the damage.
