#merry holidays too!!

Finally writing about my ENG Honmaru.

I said I was gonna after the end of the eng server, and I wanna follow throught before the new year. So the next few posts are gonna be about that, will do a read more to not fill up to much room.

Having said that, let's start!!

Firstly, before the server ended I wanted to use up all my kiwame sets, see all indoor clothes and finishing all maps available (until 8-4) , I did not manage to do any of them, but it was still fun! I did get a lot of indoors, and the kiwame I didn't know you got full sets for finishing a map in 8 era. I ended up with 1 left. About 8 era, the maps are beutiful. Especially the 3rd map. The fourth map I didn't know it had 3 parts, I gave up on the second when I barely would be able to reach the end with luck and i discovered in the wiki there was another part. I found hakusan invaluable here. I never gave him that much attention cause shichiseiken ability sounds better, and I liked only cause of his design and school, but holy Ibdo not regret raising him to 99 in the summer event ( i wanted my swords to have a medic). He's a beast that let's you advance. Managed to get to 8-4 with my kiwame tantou team, in which the highest lvl were atsushi and yagen, both at 45. (Yagen just barely reached while atsushi was my leading lvl tantou almost always, still had the exp advantage to the end) So there's that map and kiwame set unconquered too, but i refer I need higher level tantou or another strategy to beat that one.

The indoor clothes was cause i had many people to see their clothing and too little time, but so a lot more, I also spent the rest of koban in summer clothes, well spent.

Apart for that I did all dialogues I could aford to do with the swords I had, Hasabe and Nihongo was especially funny cause you need 20 outings with them together to get to the second part, and as I was collecting recollections with other swords at the same time, they ended up hearing all the gossip talks ( a lot of them). Some of them like the one with kasen, sayo and the dategumi are a pain to get. Uff, my dategumi and sayo were high level, but kasen wasn't. And you needed to win a stage multiple times. The shinsengumi one was also difficult. The one with hone, tanuki and otegine was essier but annoying cause it was in 8 era.

There were also a few dialogues that didn't trigger. Taikogane and souza one. Also kasen and kokin one, which I believe is cause i never finished the 2nd run of the special mission ( literally the event ended 2 lantens away, luckily i already had one from the new years tickets) yeah unorthodox choice, but it paid off. Maybe that's why it didn't trigger, but is not written anywhere as a requirement. And no idea about taikogane ( he was also a new year pick...maybe that's the reason, but i never heard this being an issue, so idk)

Apart from that, i took photos of my gallery and my list with swords in level order. And my stock. And formed my 4 formations as how best i saw fit. Will Show it here.

About the swords, showing the gallery will suffice. Cause there's a lot of images, I will post them in a separate post. But here is my final formations, left ready to battle.

First formation is my assault team, kiwame tantou with both atsushi and yagen the highest leveled. The second the leader is my first sword kashu and the rest is a uchitagana/wakizaki mixed, and all terrain, but a bit under leveled ( i liked kashuu resting). The third one is my day firmation, here Tarou my most experienced oodachi Who helped me a lot is leading, and the yari and naginata are my only kiwame of the type. Shoudakiri here with Shishio are my earliest, strudiest swords, with shishio being left as attendant at the end as he was the mayority of the time. And fourth is leading my second sword, with maeda and fudou. A second a bit lower level but still letal tantou team.

I did not save the order of smith, but i remember hirano was my second sword (tutorial) and fudou my third (first forge outside tutorial) Funny thing is my second forge in JPN is maeda , so a funny twin thing happened there ( gokotai my third) .

So that's how I got the formations. On chores I left mikazuki and ichigo, shichiseiken and hakusan, and nagasone and my extra kashu, also named kage kashu by me. Nagasone is my first 3:00:00 in JPN llike Shishiou on my EN account, so these people I wanted to assing too. Kage kashu with normal kashu in formation lets them both appear.

Also, another thing that happened is that on the last day as I enter my kage Kashu ask me to go kiwame training. I'm in tears cause I'm sure he could have asked before and didn't. ( or not, I probably messed up XD)

I also said I was gonna talk about this extra Kashu, so I will do it here. Basically, on the Great Invasion, or in a training before it, but after having choosing the starter path of dialogue with my starter kashu, and before main event when we go to moon background dimention, I got kashu to level 99 and decide it would be great to send my kashu to kiwame, so I did.

And then I was in another dimention, all the buttons were blocked and I needed a kashu to advance the story. I was sweating at the time thinking I had softlocked myself, praying that when I clicked ok on the notification I could use the forge to get a kashu ( I had the resources, it was that or waiting kashu return) .

To my surprise after clicking the button I notice there's a gift in my mail box. Yeah, the developers had thought about it and had sent me a kashu kiyomitsu. (Or they accounted for the fact that kashu could be broken, either way, I'm trankful)

I imagine being him, just appearing, and having to deal with the mess mikazuki had left. And when my kashu got back things became even weirder. Remember I started the path with normal kashu and now I had kiwame kashu. So the rest of the event it the dialogues went in tandem, in one it was kiwame kashu and in the next it was normal kashu. This happened even in the expeditions!! When normally 2 of the same sword can't be present ( i hc they are treated as one by the time machine) but in here the both appeared ( nor at the same time in windows and the signature indicated only 6 as always, but these 2 were to the same expedition even if the machine didn't register it that way) and it made the experience feel more unique. So I couldn't get rid of him. I locked him in and kept him in level 1, until the end of servers where I fed him all my sweets and let him go collect resources, he ended up at level 80. He and shishio also have an onamori.

I never wanted to send him to kiwame, as another reason I wanted to keep him was so I could see both versions of kashu, but him asking me on the last day I log in really made me a bit emotional.

I took a screen shot of the moment. I decline cause I do not have a pigeon and he would be going to the void.

Well, now the data may be gone, but l like to believe they are in a musou situation right now ( not exactly like musou, able to exist in a place), and with the resources left and them gathering more they will be fine. There's even a kiwame set left, for someone who may one day do the travel. Or maybe won't. But there still should live well. I left shishio as attendant, he was attendant since I got him, he's great and I trust him.

My attendant. And of course, to end this post, a photo I took a bit before this, to my darling first sword.

I really loved this honmaru. I hope they are well somewhere, beyond the pixels realm. Bye, bye!!
