I've just gone to the boss node 5 consecutive times in what was likely my luckiest hour in my Tourabu gaming history! I got 531, 462. 389. 443 and 366 beads respectively. I never get more than 300 on a regular run so this was a windfall for me. The first 2 times, I even got kaika on the very first node and it never went out!

I replenished my passes in hopes of continuing this lucky streak, but sadly, on my 6th time, it was back to mediocre luck again and I barely came back with my beads intact.

On a sidenote, I made some changes to my line-up today so I could try long range troops. I had my usual Hotarumaru (lv 93), Ishikirimaru (lv92), Iwatooshi (lv 74) and Tarou (lv 73). But instead of my 3-troop slot Tachi Mikazuki (lv 70) and Ichigo (lv 68), I replaced them with lv 92 Honebami and lv 91 Yamanbagiri and equipped them with 2 catapults each.

I honestly don't think there's much difference in attacking power, and in fact, none of them have ever killed the red enemy before it strikes, but it's satisfying to see that you can at least hurt the enemy before either of them gets sent packing. Furthermore, being able to get rid of some of the troops helps Iwatooshi wipe out enemies more efficiently. He is sometimes unable to one-hit even a single enemy otherwise.

Enemy kills by catapult are attributed to the Toudan with the catapult, so Yamanbagiri and Honebami will sometimes get MVP, instead of letting Iwatooshi dominate all the MVP. This helps alleviate the fatigue problem a bit.

Yamanbagiri and Honebami are weaker in leadership however. During 2nd naginata attacks, I sometimes end up having 2 toudan sent off, usually it will be either Yamanbagiri or Honebami with another stronger sword. This is unlike my previous lineup which can usually tolerate the 2nd naginata attack with no casualties or only 1 casualty at most.
