Five victories over the boss has so far earned me an Otegine and an Ichi-nii (who is rarer than the coveted Sada-chan! orz).

A few observations:

- I've been constantly using my max-stat kiwame kiddies (mostly Hirano Level 33, at times switching in Atsushi Level 32) with 2 Gold Archers equipped, and to wit I've not had any problems with them holding my team back. (The ranged damage--albeit minimal--actually helps, especially if they manage to pluck off a yari equip or two.) Furthermore, the +10 buff those provide to their (already beastly) Camouflage stats somehow makes a difference: they appear to dodge projectile attacks 75% of the time with them equipped. Most importantly however, is the fact their inclusion greatly increases the odds of successfully scouting enemy squads, something I personally feel is essential to making it out of the Boss fight with fewer troops lost/casualties/injuries sustained.

- Kane-san (Level 98) has been a slight hindrance only when kunai and chuu-wakizashi surface in battle. During these times Tsuru (Level 99) can take some abuse; CCP (Level 99), less so. Meanwhile under these circumstances Jijii (Level 97) and Jirou (Level 99) are godsends because they almost always manage to hold on to their equips through these battles (only to lose some at the Boss node).

- Nonetheless, Kane-san's and CCP's high Survival stats allow them to tank yari blows quite well.

I just faced my first 6-chuu-wakizashi boss formation today, which--surprise, surprise--cost the guys almost all of their equipment and light injury all around. (Thankfully a large percent of said equips lost were Gold Light Cavalry, which are comparatively easy to replace than most troops.) Hey, at least I got out with an A-Rank (and that Ichi-nii drop) to show for it.
