I finally got Kikkou and that marks the first time I achieved a full roster of all available swords in the game in my saniwa career *tears of joy*

What worked for me best was 3 kiwame tantou (lv 42, but you should do ok with slightly lower levels), 1 yari and 2 uchigatana (all above lv 95 except one uchi at lv 88). I equip them with as many long range troops as I can possibly make, all gold (thanks to current campaign). The speculation about more kiwame = lower chance of reaching boss node rings very true for me. I hardly got to the boss node with 5 or 6 kiwame, but when I reduced the team to 3, I got to the boss node almost every single time.

The losses are still significant (in terms of troop loss and swords going to orange), but they will be able to last an entire sortie and get an A grade at the boss node.
