Gacha

Excuse me. Is Kashuu your first sword? I'm also a free-to-play player, and my first sword was Yamanbagiri Kunihiro. I roll the gacha when they give me tickets from login bonuses, or I use jewels hoping to get Ookurikara, but he doesn't show up... With various swords' special moves, you can increase defense, strength, change colors, or even cut through enemies, making battles easier. There are also formations that give you an advantage, so I think it's good to try fighting with different formations during battles. However, if you find a sword you like, you should use that sword, so please enjoy the game first.

Hello! I think it's best to save your pulls for when the character you really want gets a rate-up banner. Even if you're free-to-play, you'll accumulate jewels over time, so you'll be fine! Just be mindful of expiration dates for things like the October gacha tickets! 'Rare Taro' has a high-damage ultimate skill, which can help compensate for early game firepower shortages. If you get Aoe, I recommend pairing them together to further boost your ultimate skill's damage. 'Rare Mikazuki' has lower damage but excels at clearing the board, making her a versatile unit that's easy for beginners or those who struggle with puzzles to use. She can also wipe out obstructive gimmicks, neutralizing enemy interference in one move, which should reduce the chances of getting stuck in battles. Ultimately, I think the most important thing at the start is how to have fun playing. If you're not enjoying it, you won't have the motivation to keep playing... Find a playstyle that you find enjoyable (｡-人-｡)

Thanks for the advice! I happen to have Aoe, so I'll give it a try! I'll do my best💪

I don't know which swords you have, so I can't say for sure, but if you're having fun playing, I think that's all that matters. Regarding your formation: - Swordsmen who can increase attack power and those who can increase damage taken (Mutsu no Kami Yoshiyuki, Nikkari Aoe) - Swordsmen who can increase critical hit rate (Horikawa Kunihiro, Yagen Toushirou) If you add these to your formation, Taro Tachi's ultimate damage will increase.
