Talk:War Training Expansion Event 2/@comment-26501688-20160225094713

I thought I'd share some tips and words of encouragement for those who're still struggling. I got Fudou today after 54 tokens and about 5-6 hours of daily playing since the start of the event. I don't know how many times I've reached the boss node, probably not as many as I imagine. There was one particular day when the team would go to the wrong node like 5 times in a row. I wanted to tear my hair out there and then but I still persisted. Anyway, back to the topic.

Don't be too liberal with your help tokens. Yari causes a fixed amount of damage. Take note of how much, it might vary based on the sword's level i dunno (it was probably 6 or 7 hp in my case), then do the math. If your sword has 8 hp health, and the yari causes 7hp AND you're confident of taking the yari out in one strike, then keep going because if that sword gets hit, he will still survive with 1hp. But er, make sure you have an omamori just in case. Personally I continue to send out swords if they have more than 20hp at the start of a sortie, and I never had to withdraw halfway (look at poor Tarou and all the other red swords in the screenshots lol).

Keep fielding Iwatooshi if you have a high-levelled one who is good enough to one-shot at least 3 enemies. That leaves multiple swords to take out the yari. Keep switching out your swords and rotating leaders to prevent fatigue so you can keep going non-stop. Touken helper is useful.

No Iwatooshi? That's ok, I've personally done many rounds with 1 Oodachi instead of Iwa. The benefit of using just 1 Oodachi is that you can usually keep your swords in sakura fubuki mode all the time (because everyone gets a chance to attack). But occasionally this still leaves me open to double-attacks from the yari. You can of course field more Oodachi.

'''Gone to the wrong node? Close the game and restart it.''' That node will always have yari but no Fudou drop, so why waste your hp? (You will not be penalised for that. That earlier rumour about people banned for refreshing kbc battles? Only happens if you keep refreshing over and over again thereby causing excess burden to the server)

You don't need a full-team to go on campaigns and get huge success. Huge success will be guaranteed as long as you meet the level and sword type requirements and have 91% - 100% sakura fubuki (use Touken helper). Personally I only needed 3 high-level toudans per team. I like using uchi and waki because (I don't use them in this event) you can equip them with long-range troops so they get S-rank every time, which means less time and effort to get them to 100%.

If you have a debit card / credit card and you haven't claimed the 500 free DMM points, go get them and buy a new repair room. 1 more repair room is always handy. Instructions can be found here: http://touken-ranbu.wikia.com/wiki/Shop

Personal preference here, but I don't field my lv 99 swords (I don't have many anyway). It makes me feel happier when my swords gain experience (like I'm not wasting time, it's ok if Fudou doesn't come ~), so I don't get *too* upset when there's no Fudou or when swords go to the wrong node rendering the sortie useless. Understandably this tip is not for everyone.

'''Finally, do not watch the drop praying it is Fudou, keep expectations low and pretend you're having fun training your toudan. Fudou came when I least expected it.'''

Good luck and keep fighting!
