How do you get Broken Blades? The game says you can exchange general fragments for them, but I haven't seen a store that allows that. The only way to gain Broken Blades that I have seen is Achievments and the Battle Pass. Is it some menu hidden away in a little corner or something? When someone of your generals has reached rank 6 a new "exchange" window appears in the top right corner. When you get additional fragments of this general it is possible to exchange them for bb. Here is an example

Ah, I understand now. Guess it'll be a while before I get a reliable source of them given I'm pretty early, but thanks nonetheless!

Does anyone remember what skills Tachibana Ginchiyo had in the Tenkabito missions? I seem to remember her being quite good, but can't recall the details.

I'm really happy she's coming to our roster and am definitely hoping she isn't IAP - given her set isn't a 4 piece I doubt she will be, but who knows! I definitely remember noting that she was good in the last update by my unjust complaint and it's like EasyTech listened. I was going to find the screenshots I took of her but I got a new phone over the winter holidays and stoic beat me to it Unfortunately with even more excellent teppo generals, poor Mitsuhide continues to struggle for relevance especially since now both Masamune and Ginchiyo are/will be library generals. It's like there's a conspiracy against him especially since in the campaign I assume we're going to whack him hard at Yamazaki. There's definitely going to be a bit of shuffling of units in my team when this update drops. The others are exciting too, with Muneshige, Kanetsugu, and Kiyomasa arriving with stunning designs. I swear I've seen them before in game, but maybe I'm just confusing one Sengoku period game with another Sengoku period game. Or maybe they're just receiving a face lift like Saito Dosan and Ranmaru, but those designs definitely indicate something cool. Okuni coming to the game was a definite surprise for me - I honestly didn't think we'll get any more himes. Maybe she'll favor one of the gifts that currently isn't favored by any of our current himes. This makes me wonder though what will happen for those who have fully cleared Tenkabito, will she just automatically spawn for us? Or are new castles being added?
Looking at the bonds it seems Maeda Keiji just keeps winning, that +1 mobility in his maxed bond with Okuni is just too good. Ideally we can get them both without having to pay real money or gacha our hearts out - which makes it even better, and to add on to it, Okuni's a hime which means with enough gifting we can easily get her to 6 stars. Definitely seems worth it to max her out which means stoic will have to stop favoring Oichi. Muneshige and Ginchiyo's is eh, the -7 defense on attacks on the same enemy could be helpful but with the setups I use, the goal is to get kills with Masamune and Motonari. It probably will work the best against tanky generals who refuse to go down in two shots. Dousetsu's and Ginchiyo's seems okay, although I probably still wouldn't regularly use Dousetsu, especially since I have good cavalry generals in Maeda Keiji, Katsuie, and Tadakatsu. Speaking of Honda Tadakatsu, his bond with Muneshige is very... underwhelming to say the least. It isn't very often you don't move a unit given how mobility is heavily favored. And finally, where's the Kiyomasa love? Poor guy doesn't get any teased bonds!
But, the short turnaround on updates is really spoiling us and definitely is making me excited! I'm absolutely ready for the future (except if they make these new generals IAP )

Oh, and speaking of bonds, does anyone know if they apply to only those involved in the bond, or if the bonuses are applied to everyone you control? I haven't done any testing on it, but if it's the latter it would make Keiji and Okuni a staple of any conquest. I'm also wondering if the +1 mobility with that is only at a maxed bond or if it can be acquired without fully maxing - all I know is that the maxed one will have that attached to it but it could be possible that it'll always be around. Just some questions for those much more patient and knowledgeable than me!

Just some questions for those much more patient and knowledgeable than me! As in EW7 only those in bond are affected. Ah, good to know. A speedy Keiji still is good, although it definitely puts a huge damper on my optimism with that bond. It probably still is worth it to deploy Okuni even if she can't fight that well during the midgame or the endgame where you're mopping up the last holdouts. But, she's not as imperative as I would have hoped. Oh well, maybe I should consider using the Tachibana trio instead to boost Ginchiyo - it seems that Muneshige + Ginchiyo synchronizes pretty well with the latter's skill, and if Muneshige is pretty good then it might be worth it to look into. We'll just have to wait and see, I suppose.
Still very unfortunate that that's the case, makes me wish there was a bond out there that boosted our economy kind of like Justinian + Theodora for the passive income that affects everything, not just the two/three/four generals involved. But then we'd have people like me almost instantly deploying those two just to get that boost. I guess the less food consumption is sort of that, but I was thinking more of something like augmenting the production of the castle a general is in.

I wonder if there will be more skin changes like with Asakura Yoshikage. He used to be an old man by his age seems to have regressed by 50 years.

Just some questions for those much more patient and knowledgeable than me! Am I the only one whose strategy is to just deploy my best generals without really worrying about bonds? Sure, I can deploy Mogami Yoshiaki and get a nice boost to Date, but he kind of sucks. I'd rather deploy Keiji or Katsuie and have two powerful generals.

I wonder as well, especially as the game becomes more and more refined. I actually do like the change to Yoshikage, as he died before his 40th birthday thanks to Nobunaga. Certainly his new portrait represents him better - he looks like his actual 30 years instead of 80 years of age.
But some portrait changes are more puzzling. I don't really know why they updated Saito Dosan's, the two look very similar and I actually prefer the old one.

You aren't alone - I actually don't usually worry about bonds, especially since the boosts I get from the non-maxed bonds are relatively negligible. This especially stings before you've reached Budding in conquests, where your number of generals is limited to 5 and you can easily hit that cap even without adding bond generals. In conquests I find that a lot of the nuance of GCS actually only comes out after you've gotten past the really rough beginning, and even then can be overlooked. You just simply can't spare the slots for the terrible Mogami Yoshiaki, or even worse, Mori Motonari's bond where you have to deploy Kikkawa Motoharu (okay, I can do that, maybe invest a bit into him), milquetoast Kobayakawa Takakage (ehh...), and horrible Mori Terumoto.
I've never actually gotten a bond without purposely trying for it. This is mostly because the ones with the top tier generals have an IAP and are therefore locked from me.

The one bond I used quite a bit is Two Defenders, Kanbee is good and Hanbei is also passable (was my first choice archer for a while). But now that I have Mori, Chosokabe and Tokugawa, it's just not worthwhile spawning Hanbei, and in any case while I usually do end up using Kanbee, it's not until later on and he's not my top infantry general anyway. As for the rest, Oda Shitennou has mostly solid generals but a meh bonus, and I guess you can make a case for Shimotsuma Rairen and Suzuki, but there are just so many other good options for teppo. All the worthwhile bonds are IAP.
