Enemy Description
Maeda Toshiie is a military commander of Owari Province (modern-day Aichi prefecture). He began to serve Oda Nobunaga as a page of a very young age, and came to be known as "Mataza of the Spear" for his valor and prowess in combat.
Toshiie was once quite the eccentric, behaving in unconventional ways and constantly getting into fights. Nobunaga eventually refused to put up with his behavior, banishing him from the Oda clan. Desperate to gain Nobunaga's forgiveness, Toshiie unexpectedly joined him on the battlefield in Okehazama, serving his former master well.
Still hoping to gain Nobunaga's forgiveness by performing some great service for him, Toshiie unwisely decides to sneak behind enemy lines alone. Fearful for Toshiie's safety, Tokichiro urges the protagonist to go after him. Unsurprisingly, the protagonist arrives to find Toshiie in the midst of a losing battle. However, Toshiie is unwillingly to give in, and begs the protagonist to help him. Together, they achieve a tremendous victory, and Toshiie is finally permitted to return to the Oda clan.
Forgiven by Nobunaga and back in the service of the Oda clan, Toshiie joins Shibata Katsuie's forces as he advances toward Hokuriku.
After the Honnoji Incident and Nobunaga's death, Toshiie is torn over where his loyalties lie. After much conflicted consideration, he leaves Katsuie, to whom he owes a great deal, and joins his friend Tokichiro.

How to Beat Maeda Toshiie
Maeda Toshiie Boss Guide:
Maeda Toshiie can be found in a small battlefield. He uses a lance that has long reach which makes running away from him very difficult.
His lance has very long reach so staying at a medium distance is not advisable. It's best to stay near him and try to dodge his attacks either left or right. He usually screams before performing an attack so this can be a good indicator for a timed dodge.
He is a human enemy, so depleting his Ki bar by continually attacking him is a good strategy. Wait for him to attack, dodge, strike back and repeat.
If you use a build with high ninjitsu, you can try bringing traps to to the fight such as Noxious Grounfire or Caltrops.

All of his combos can be dodged, but are difficult to time reliably and particularly punishing if you mess up.

He has oddly long combos, leaving for few openings to safely get any hits in on him. Some of his combos deplete his Ki, but only for a moment.

Very tough fight. Maeda can cover an extremely far area, making it difficult to put space between you & him. It also doesn't help that his ki recovery is insane, making it a whole different story to grapple him. Use Sloth talismans to buy you some time to heal/buff yourself because his attacks do a godly amount of damage.

Can confirm enemy is bull*****Can parry immediately and at no Ki cost, knocking you back. You can *generally* roll out of it but this isn't acceptable to suddenly parry me IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COMBO. Even better. I use Switchglaives. So Square =1 hit. Square, Square = 1 hit and *two forced, long, no dodge-cancel hits* . Sooooo if I ever hit Square twice I was boned. Forced to Square-Triangle this dude down slowly.
