After reading this page for advice thought I would add my own strategy as a thank-you ^^

Since I don't have swords around lvl 90 of any type other than oodachi and tachi, obvs I go with them. The strategy is basically relying on leadership and offense.

Usually I have 2~3 oodachi and use all elite troops. Hotaru's 3-troop-slot advantage is that I can rack up his offense and without sacrificing speed, so he might be more recommendable (never tried the reverse with Isshiki since he's only lvl 60).

For tachi I have experimented with most 4 star swords (I either don't have 5-star sword or only have low level one). Brought Shishiou and Shokudaikiri at the 1st time but they fared so horribly that I never considered using 2-slot tachi again, but it might be just me. Typically I will give them 1 shieldman, then heavy and/or light cavalry depend on the stats. Ichi-nii and Uguisumaru are the most all-round choice for this strategy, my Ichi rarely loses his troops and Ugui can one-shot enemies on the 1000+ exp node. I have never went with Kousetsu (just personal bias, I tend to only farm map with swords I like), but since his attack stat is even better than Ugui I think he will be good. For leader I pick Hizamaru obvs 'cause his scouting stats, plus the decent leadership and attack in comparison with Higekiri. My Hige fares well enough in 7-1 and 7-2 but he's been getting not much luck in 7-3. If you want to bring him I suggest giving him 2 heavy cavalry in addition to at least silver shieldman. Though I bring Tsuru it's not recommendable at all cause his stats is the weakest, but personal bias made him the highest level sword I've got so yeah I have no choice. Once you give him gold shieldman he's good enough to hold on.

Kiwame I only have lvl 33 Midare and he's not going anywhere cause the obvs low stats. I also bring 75-lvl Tonbokiri for 5hp yari clean-up duty and he is decent enough in the first nodes. Once he's at least 80 I will try again to see if he can hold on until boss. I have no Nihongou so I cannot tell the case with him but Otegine is a no-no for me since he's too fast for clean-up duty.

I use a mix of gold, silver and bronze troops, and really recommend not wasting your resources on all gold ones. As long as attack stat is over 75~76 and leader stat is over 78~80 for tachi they will usually have one troop left at boss - enough to not get C with the average boss. Additionally, whenever the dice get me to a long route or one that does not go to boss I will come back to the citadel immediately. No need to incur unnecessary loss to the troops and the swords.

So yeah, this is a strategy for 1/ all oodachi and tachi, 2/ saniwas who can afford mass making troops and repari 3/ swords from 80~90 lvl. I am basically trading resources with grinding level here, the exp is too delicous. Also, if the team can reach boss, A is an usual result with a few B and C thrown in on bad luck days, so if you do not wait till your sword get 90+, horrendous wait I say, you can farm for Sadamune swords right at 80+.
