The Futuh army was heavily composed of cavalry, almost overwhelmingly so, and the best fighters were heavy cavalry, knights basically, who came from the Habesh Muslim tribes of the highlands. Most of the troops were Somali light cavalry who were less heavily armoured but much more mobile and harassed the Amhara army as fast skirmish troops. The infantry in the Muslim army mostly came from the same Habesh Muslim tribes of the highlands and Charchar mountains, and bowmen made up of Gaboye archers, who fought with poisoned arrows.
The Amhara army also had heavy cavalry (all Habesh troops, Christian and Muslim, all had basically Arab army compositions, heavy cavalry and skirmish infantry) but they had a lot of subject peoples that all brought interesting things to the battlefield, for instance the Maya tribe from Wej, an Amhara subject people, were skilled bowmen and like the Gaboye. The Amhara also had light Oromo cavalry which matched Somali cavalry but they didn't have as many as the Muslim side. The Amhara side also had Dankali allies who are great light cavalry and skirmishers, possibly the best skirmish troops in the world, but they were not present in the critical battles like Shimbra Kura but would play a critical role in the downfall of Adal later on.
The Amhara army had more infantry, more archers and more men overall. The Muslim side had more cavalry, critically they had more heavy cavalry and WAY more light cavalry. Most of the Muslim casualties were from the poisoned Maya arrows. The better mobility of the Muslim side over the more slow moving Amhara side meant the Somali cavalry would harass the opposing army and reduce their cohesion and organization and the heavy cavalry would smash through their lines and win the battles.
