Keep trying, eventually he will drop, I'm pretty sure :)

I would love if we could somehow keep track of our swords fatigue in the app. I guess I depend too much on the helper, actually xD

Of all the tantou, I would like to send Yagen first, he is my favorite. I really like Sada-chan, but I've read that he doesn't talk about Micchan anymore after coming back from his kiwame :(

I played VOT too, but I was a little busy when that event was being held, so I didn't play a lot and didn't expend koban on it. I didn't like it too much though, to be honest. I did use koban on this one, tho.

I got Ookanehira from the expert lvl map from the special regiment battle, actually. But yeah, I did a few runs on the expert map and I was using only one team. I had saved a few of that item that restores health to the unit. My team consisted of Tsurumaru, Ichigo, Honebami, Mutsunokami, Izuminokami and Hotarumaru, all lvl 99. I know that Hotarumaru will only attack one enemy if it's a night battle, but he has three troop slots and he enters his awakened state quite easily. Mutsunokami and Izuminokami only have two, but my Mutsunokami is quite fast and he would usually attack right after Honebami. Also, he enters his awakened state more easily than Izuminokami and does double attacks more frequently too. Izuminokami I was using so I could level him up together with Mutsunokami, but his troops last slightly longer than Mutsu's, you can replace him with your sword of choice however. I was using Honebami because he attacks fast and because he is my only maxed out wakizashi (it's embarrassing to admit this lol, but I haven't really played with the others, so their level is really low). I didn't use any tantou because I don't have any that are maxed out and their single troop slot made things slightly difficult for me. Tsurumaru and Ichigo was because their level was quite high since I play with them a lot and they are the strongest swords that I have with the three troops slots besides Hotarumaru (a pity this event will end soon and that it took me some time to get Chatannakiri; I would like more time so I could level up some of my other swords).

Anyway, the trick here is to keep an eye on the fatigue level of your unit, have all of your swords equipped with the golden water troops, equip the ones that aren't as fast with the better horses you have and I was using at least three of that restoring item per run (I didn't do a lot of runs on that map, mind you). You'll want to use that item before the fight with the units with that enemy kunai and once after the fight with that unit that has two enemies with kunai. It's important to use them before those two battles because of the troops, seeing how there is a possibility that some of the enemies will be taken out during the long ranged attack phase. You'll need to use one after the battle with that unit with the two kunais because you may end having more than one character getting KO'ed here. Doing all this may help you win these battles, but it'll be with a B rank or a C rank, if you got slightly unlucky. Again, it's really important to take out a good number of the enemy swords during the long ranged phase and pray that at least the kunais will lose some of their troops too, you won't be able to defeat them, but killing all the rest and at least doing some damage to them will increase your chances.
