- Spirit lanterns (introduced in Tides of Battle)
There are three types of spirit enemies but all attack the same: samurai, onna-musha, and ronin. The second, onna-musha, is not able to be targeted with auto-aim.

Chapter 2
The ghosts followed the path until they came across a small, quiet village only to find it littered with spirits of the dead. They investigate the village while putting the spirits to rest permanently. They find a bloodstained scroll filled with cryptic writing in the hand of one of the dead villagers and suspect it is linked someway with the spirits. In the distance, the ghosts hear the sounds of a Mongol patrol approaching. Upon investigating further, they find the Mongol patrol is that of Sukhbaatar, who betrayed them and sent them into an ambush of spirit samurai.
