Glad to bring the musketeers to your attention! The musketeer idea was brought up by the community, so thanks goes to you, the community! :) It was casually mentioned somewhere in the comments section. I never gave it much thought until I paid more attention to battle conditions (yare-yare yari...!).

I researched a little more, and realized on Expert Waves, there's only 2 indoor fights. The first has no yari, and even if it did, it's a night battle. Night battles substantially weaken yari, so they'd become easy weeds to pluck. The second is the boss fight where there's no ranged attack phase.

@ Zerorin: Sadly, the first-mentioned team will never get you S-Rank (but can net you A-Rank) unless it's a night battle and RNGod:
 * lets all your ranged attacks knock out the yari,
 * lets all your toudan evade,
 * lets your toudan attack first, and
 * your toudan are fast and strong enough to lay the smackdown before the enemy knew what hit them.

I would not bet my koban on that happening. (lol, :d) I only mentioned the first team because some folks questioned if kiwame of that level range would work.

As mentioned in the guide, a non-C-Rank is only important on the boss fight (thankfully). One tactic you could use is relying on using ranged attacks on pre-boss waves. At the boss, you can then focus on quickness so you can smack the boss' team in da face -yo!- before they knew what hit them (since there's no ranged attack phase). Pre-kiwame, I used to try to muscle my way through yari with heavy-hitters during events. Then, someone mentioned using ranged tactics, instead. So, I experimented with a team of swords who can equip ranged armor and proceeded to sit back and eat popcorn. (lol) That's been my experience.

@ Priscy123: Rawrz~! (((*^▽^*)八(*^▽^*)))♪

@ Elagabalus: Gold, baby, gold! (snaps fingers, hand-on-hip-struts, lol, dork)

Otherwise, the best armor you can give them. Since you don't permanently lose armor in this event, you could honestly attempt to craft musketeers 3 times daily, which will let you complete the "craft 1 armor" and "craft 3 armor" daily missions.

I dun think it's necessary to send Gokotai to Kiwame training. Obviously, the more kiwame you have, the more advantage you have. As I mentioned to Zerorin, I've grown to rely on ranged attacks to take out yari. Since most of the fights are night battles, I'd probably end up using tantou, wakizashi, and uchigatana, who already have the advantage of access to ranged armor.

I'll have to experiment with other team setups besides my Spoiled-Rank (har-har!) team as this event goes on.
