I've been grinding for Nihongou for a while now and I thought I'd share some tips for 6-4 that might be helpful to other beginners:

Put all swords in sakura fubuki before entering the map. This will boost their stats and help against troop loss. You can do this systematically by running swords individually through 1-1 a few times. The Touken Ranbu helper extension can tell you the exact fatigue levels.

Equip long range troops to increase the chance of A victory at boss. However, be prepared to lose troops on your tantou unless they are kiwame or extremely high level. Troops are not safe even on kiwame if you have an unlucky first battle round and miss an enemy oodachi.

Put as many tantou (normal or kiwame) on your team as possible to avoid branching off into side paths. Having 4 tantou will give something like a 80% chance of reaching the boss.

Try combinations of high level (at least 80 - 90 or so) wakizashi, uchigatana, and oodachi for the last two slots. I've never put a tachi in but I'd imagine them to have the disadvantages of oodachi in the night part and be just slightly better than uchigatana in the boss battle, so I wouldn't recommend it. Personally, I like using uchigatana the best because they can equip catapults, don't have a disadvantage in the rest of the map, and have high enough hitting power to take out the yari at the boss. Rarity 3 uchigatana are the best. My Kuri-chan can take out the last yari even if it has some troops left, something even my Hotarumaru fails to do.

Tantou become more reliable and are able to one shot some enemies (except last golden yari) at the boss node past level 60. However, they are still very fragile and can lose troops and take lots of damage to enemy oodachi at the boss node if you don't kill them in the first wave of attacks. My level 70+ tantou still regularly lose troops and get hit into medium/severe damage even when surrounded by kiwame and uchigatana. I was hoping kiwame would curbstomp the boss node but unfortunately they still have trouble with the yari even at level 40.

The regular nodes are extremely easy (much easier than 6-1). Level 30 tantou have no trouble clearing them.

KBC are a pushover in this map. Tantou can easily one shot the level 99 KBC. Uchigatana usually take them out but can fail, depending on formation. Oodachi barely do anything.

Hope this is helpful!

Please come soon Nihongou...
