Exactly what Linedrawings said. People were probably too busy with Kiwame and 7-1 yesterday to notice, but the game has essentially been drastically changed in how it plays now. It always had balance issues imo, after a certain level the swords just instantly became strong enough to deal with enemies quite well, and then beyond lvl70 there was mostly no benefit in leveling them since they performed just as well as lvl99 swords. Now, it seems like devs have mitigated a lot of that - you can't just jump from, let's say, 4-4 to 5-4 like I used to to grind my swords, you have to slowly take them map by map, because otherwise they'll lose troops left and right. And even if you slowly guide them, they still cannot KO enemies in one shot like they used, which I assume means that devs also want us to regularly use some of our resources as we grind for sword repairs, so we don't just end up with a huge stockpile like before.

I do hope to hear from other Saniwa on the wiki tips on how to grind swords now that the game has changed so much, cause I am still barely figuring out the safest way to do it myself.
