Sword drop rate was abysmal and I agree with the comments above about not being a beginner-friendly event. I have an all 80+ team which would do alright after maps 1 and 2. They'd suffer minimal damage, and I could take them for multiple runs (more than 4) without anybody dying out on me too early. But when I took teams between 40+ to 50+ to maps 3 and 4, I'd have to get them repaired after 2 or 3 runs already. :<

Wasn't so good at leveling swords up either? I mean, you'd get an enemy yari really early on and even if you would manage to defeat them, you'd still have to waste time having to repair your sword later on (compared to, say, grinding on a normal map with no KBC or doing the first couple of levels of Underground Treasure Chest).

I liked the idea of it though, despite not getting the swords I played the event for (Jijii, Akashi, and Nihongou). Increased drop rates for event specific maps. I had a lot of help tokens on me (that I was able to keep at a steady 50 throughout the event). It would probably suck if you didn't have much (and if you were just starting out which would mean your high leveled swords aren't actually that high in level yet, so it's wasting troops + wasting help tokens + time) though- you get a couple tokens per day from dailies and quests, but when those run out, you're forced to stop playing the event until either the next day or your sortie comes back (which might not actually be a bad thing lmao).
