The lack of kiwame tantou makes clearing World 7 quite difficult. And even despite the fact that they make clearing World 7 the easiest, after the kiwame tantou nerf I've found they also struggle to do it as easily anymore. Even maxed out kiwame tantous no longer clear the short route of 7-4 without suffering HP damage or troop loss, which is just insane. I think the suggested level requirements for the kiwame tantou in that route on the article in this wiki are actually still too low to clear it properly, which is sad when it used to be one of the best places to level up high-leveled kiwame tantou.

I also don't understand why the kiwame tantous were nerfed so badly, yet the kiwame wakizashi (and now uchigatana) were given no buff whatsoever? The fact that they are even less useful starting out than their maxed out Toku selves until grinded to high enough levels is telling me something went terribly wrong with balancing them, so that in the end people are still forced to choose tantous over them even if they wanted to use them.
