Afterwards start prepping barracks to deal with enemy Spear/crossbow comp through the use of Onna Bugeisha spam. (dont forget full melee att upgrades for these)
Otherwise, you can choose to play the long or short game here. Again, be flexible and reactive, dont go 2nd TC if opponent is trying to kill you or you dont have control. Play intelligently:P
