I'm also a new saniwa (I'm beginning my 2nd month, though I play several hours per day every day) and I've finished world 5 in the normal game so far (been grinding my shorter swords for world 6 before the event started). I managed to make it through map 3 of the event though it was difficult and required 2-3 attempts. I don't have any kiwame, and my highest level sword was around 73. I would advice: equip 'tanks' if you have some, meaning 2 ootachis between 70 and 73 (or any sword dealing damage to several opponents in one strike), equipped with the troops allowing the max mobility (I had gold cavalry) so that they can attack as soon as possible, and of course the fastest horses if you have some (I have these with 17 and 15 in mobility). My other strongest swords are tachis, uchigatanas and wakizashi between 60 and 70. I equiped long range troops, protected by shieldmen or with the swords having the highest defense stat to try and make them last several battles. Finally for the battles, I tried to select the formation in a straight line, that is said to allow better defense, regardless of the advised formation (in red) and provided it was not the unfavorable formation (in blue); if I could not use the straight line formation, I either went for the advised one in red, or for the high speed formation not lowering defense at the bottom right. Unfortunately, the highest speed formation is not advised systematically as it could have in the previous event, because Kebishii are really fast X__x (and I'm still struggling with map 4).
