Same problem. I'm running E4 but I've only gotten 2 flutes and 1 koto and shamisen each so far (currently at 16k beads). Even if there's supposedly better chances of them dropping on other maps I have no reason to waste my passes on them yet since my main goal is Kogarasumaru.

Depends on player preferences I think. They're definitely very helpful for newer saniwas and are good tanks in general. But others have managed fine without oodachis at all too.

The team I'm using consists of Hotaru as leader and the rest are lv 40+ kiwame tantous equipped with catapults. Hotaru functions as backup in case too many kiwames get knocked out and he's useful against the stronger enemy naginatas. I also give my best horses to my fastest kiwames and choose either of the echelon formations against stronger enemy cards so they can outspeed them (minus 4th card red enemies) if the long range attacks aren't enough.
