If you are looking to just clear the maps, it's pretty easy.

No-Kiwame approach:

Your best bet is a team of sakura fubuki 90+ 3-slot tachis. I usually equip them with 1 shieldman (any rank but silver and gold are ideal) and 2 gold light-cavalry to boost their speed since horses don't work in World 7. You'd want to boost speed to outrun the kunais and chuu-wakizashis (the enemies with new sprites) since they're the ones that deal the most damage in these maps, so if scouting fails choose either one of the rightmost formations and hope that it's not a disadvantageous one. Note that they WILL lose troops so make sure to replace the lost ones when they do.

You can also bring an ootachi like Hotarumaru since he has 3 slots and can wipe out any enemy that is still alive after your tachis attack, but keep in mind that he is slower than them.

With kiwame:

Your kiwame sword should be at least around 36+ to do ok in World 7, and even at that level they are still pretty squishy when hit. But to make up for it you can equip them with 2 slots of projectiles and they are very fast and hit hard as well. One or two kiwame swords along with a team of high-levelled 3-slot swords should be able to clear the maps pretty easily.

Overall:

-If you want to have an easier time, bring kiwame swords with you.

-If you don't have any, then make sure your boys are all in sakura fubuki mode since it boosts their stats in battle (and it makes a big difference in their performance too!)

-I recommend bringing Hizamaru along since he's the fastest 3-slot tachi. But if you don't have him then that's ok.

-Be prepared to make troops since you're bound to lose them in World 7.
