You don't need "very strong" tantou for 7-4 long, at level 50 they can easily pass it. Just choose a formation that has an advantage in mobility (if your advantageous formation is on the top row, or reversed echelon, choose that; if scouting fails or it says crane wings or square, choose echelon instead). This way your swords will always attack before the enemies and get no damage. The only casualties in troop loss or damage will be at the boss node, but not every time.

With 5 swords missing of the 6 in the smithing campaign, I'm not even trying for the droppable ones, I'm just waiting for the increased drop rate campaign and I'll probably burn all my (limited) rss for Kogarasumaru.
