When I first started I started by levelling my Yamanbagiri as he is my starter sword. I also levelled up any sword I came across during my run. Before I played I wanted to have Mikazuki because I am a fan of the Five Heavenly Swords, but as I played, I got biased to the Awataguchi family to the point I don't make a priority on assembling the rest of the swords. Anyway, first few days on the game I was going for Honebami, Namazuo, and Midare who looked so beautiful they made me green with envy as a girl lol, I pretty much ignore most of the Uchigatana thanks to these three. Then I learned I need an Oodachi for some reassurance and go smith one to get Papa Ishi for my first but just few hours later I got Taroutachi and Papa Ishi got switched almost immediately.

I did my era 3-5 with Taroutachi as center (with others that I hadn't yet remembered the name) until I got stuck in 5-2 before the time where Nitroplus increase the likely to go to Boss Node there. During my stuck time, I gathered my team Tantou just for fun and grind my head out in 4-3 until they reached around lvl50 and made the map infested with KBC. Smithing RNG hates me so I hadn't got any rarity-4 swords until I reached 5-4 where I got all Rarity-4 Tachi with drops and Hotarumaru as well.

I played in Ikedaya from time to time to move forward and to grind my Tantou and Wakizashi since they have stats advantage there and just few days ago finished with the era. Right now I was grinding my Uchigatana team with Honebami and Papa Ishi as addition in 5-3 and 5-4 (while secretly praying that Kogi or Jiji decided to come hom) Anyway, my training way is kind of like this

- Bias aside, I usually bring swords I just got followed by a speed-down played Oodachi to make sure that I can clear the enemy in the first turn especially when the said sword couldn't OHKO the enemy in one shot. But, few swords I don't like never get the feel to go on actual fight (like, Kakaka for example sorry for his fan) until I feel like doing it or exceptionally bored.

- Since I don't bother on taking the go-to-Boss-node-count, most of the good for Exp grinding is already KBC-ed so I tried to keep the level gap as small as possible. For level group that could get accompanied with an Oodachi, I will put one for insurance sake as KBC had a ridiculous HP.

- I prioritize their overall stats and my 'Like' level on prioritizing what to grind first as well as the map I decided to grind. Rarity-4 3 troops slots is a plus and truth be told, the first 6 swords I bothered to grind until lvl99 consisted of the Rarity-4 because they are 'cheaper' to grind since they rarely lost their troops.

Currently, I'm preparing myself for Higekiri and Hisamaru events since the 'Regiment Battle' sounds somewhat threatening and from my KanColle friend, KanColle started giving out boss that looked eerily alike to the ship girls after the implementation of Combine Fleet so that's my heart that needed to be prepared.
