I'm currently training my newly obtained Akashi. What I did was run him around 1-1 + have him tag along with some high level swords to go on expeditions. That gets him to around level 10 in a few hours. Then I equip him with gold shieldmen, make sure his stats are maxed, and send him and Iwatooshi to 4-2. He got to level 18 in a few hours, would have been faster if I wasn't distracted by work. I have some level 20+ toudans so once he reaches 20+, I'll put them together and train them in the KBC infested maps so that (1) I can let them go freely to the boss node (2) I don't have to be careful to avoid the boss node on the non-kbc maps and withdraw them in time, something which I forget from time to time.

I don't really follow a guide since their ability on different maps would depend on the swords on the team. But when sending them to a different map for the first time, I would watch them for a couple of rounds to see how they do. If they lose their troops or almost lose all their troops, it's back to the earlier map until they level up a bit more. Same with KBC, if I notice that they have trouble handling KBC, then I'll stop going onto the KBC-infested maps.
