Overall Yoshu commands a talon (which is 5 scales and 1 scale is 5 fangs and each fang consist of 5 people = 125 people). They may have awakened essence but every shot from essence cannon costs 2m, so they use crystals which give them 10 motes (so 5 shots) before they need new crystal. All their own mote pools go attuning to cannon and their armor.<br/><br/>Edit; Below is details of Concussive Essence Cannons. All troops got the very small one (the one hand held one). Was wrong in essence cost; so overall troops got sort 'limited' hearthstone crystal which contains 10m essence (they attune to weapon by own motes and to armor as well but crystal gives them 10 shots each).<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Details</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0321/23/1400216777561.jpg)</div></div><br/><br/>Oh, also to confirm most likely my troops (crab teams) have Ashigaru Skirmish Armors and shark teams got tiger shark armors. Spending 4m from awakened essence to attune to armors. So overall from 10m pools 7 go to attunements alone. Shark teams however do not have essence cannons (as little use of it in underwater) but are instead armed with shock pikes than concussive essence cannons (and they need no motes to attune to shock pikes as they contain internal batteries of essence).
