Yay congrats!!! :D I'm really glad you got him too ^^

Full tantou is the best, but wakizashi isn't bad either. They also have advantage on night battles, but from my experience in 7-4 short (it's the most difficult in whole game) wakizashi is doing a lot worse than tantous. Nikkari's HP (level 65 kiwame) usually fell to yellow/orange from one hit, and my tantous could take several hits there without their HP falling below green. Also, since wakizashi is more expensive to repair, you'll need to spend more resources if you get injured during battles.

If you want to kiwame your wakizashi and uchigatana first, then go for it :) You should be able to clear all of the other night battles with hybrid team and even without any tantous at all (i ran test runs on all world 6 maps with 5 lvl 33-35 wakikiwame and kiwame Kane-san lvl 46 and they were doing fine) and for 7-4 you can clear the long route (easiest out of the 3) with non-kiwame tantous to unlock world 8 maps. You'll suffer at least minor injuries on all world 6 maps (even with tantous) and might lose some troops, so repairs will cost you a bit more with waki/uchi. That, and the inability to level up on 7-4 short (by far the most exp out of all maps and worlds) are the only disadvantages i see. You'll get more kiwame sets from events so you can kiwame more tantous later if you decide to focus on your waki/uchi right now :)

Sorry for insanely long comment, i hope you have the patience to read it and i hope it helps xD
