My thoughts too. I can't say I'm surprised--it was long overdue because the kiwame tantou have been very overpowered compared to the rest of the swords. What has the universal advice been for anyone struggling with an event? "Use kiwame swords." Don't have kiwame? Then you're going to have trouble. They needed to be balanced--just imagine what the kiwame ootachi will be able to do if things weren't adjusted.

It's a bit of a bummer that we won't be able to breeze through events with a full kiwame tantou team--but I think the kiwame wakizashi will make up for it. Even with the nerfs, kiwame swords will still be stronger than regular swords.

Like I said, I'm surprised that it took the dev team this long to change how massively overpowered the kiwame tantou were. I'm pretty sure the kiwame wakizashi will make up for it.
