With the additional melee damage upgrades, for the most part, you can negate the Camel Unease debuff from Camel Lancers.

Against Ayyubids, going for Horsemen feels bad because of the Desert Raiders and Camels applying Camel Unease, but it might be necessary to deal with Manjaniqs.

Horsemen do negligible damage up against the Camel Lancer due to the debuff, so you need to ensure they hit the counter units, but body blocking makes that difficult.

With the Onna-Musha and Horsemen, you can exploit the slow army composition from Ayyubid when they rely on Manjaniqs, by raiding and avoiding the central fight.

Yumi Ashigaru can just get shattered with a couple of Manjaniq volleys.
