The four generals that you want right now are:

UR Tiger of Kai
UR Master Strategist
SSR Sanada Yukitaka
SSR Takeda Shingen of Kai


For a fifth general, right now, I'm using Mori Motonari, as that's the best other level 55 general I've got. There are several generals that I'd replace her with if I had a level 55 version:

The above is talking about PVE. PVP is different, as very high damage will take off massively more troops than your opponent has, which can easily kill you with reflect damage. Combinations of Takenaka Hanbei with Uesugi Kenshin or Dragon of Echigo are popular in PVP for that reason, and nearly always of the corsair class, even if it's a temple player.
I do have a 0 star Level 35 UR Tiger of Kai and that general is always on my main army. It might be level 35 but its better when I compared with other generals that I have (compared with a Level 40 SSR Uesugi Kenshin and a Level 40 SSR Takeda Nobushige - both have Elite Black Rider troops and have a Original Black Naginata at max level which is also level 40). Tiger of Kai is equipped with a level 40 Legendary Mumei Sword but the damage is still bigger than the two generals aforementioned. Sometimes I just test or experiment so that I would know which general would be a better fit to my army. I am not really lucky when getting random stuffs so its just a "come what may" situation and just use my current equips, generals and other items related to the game itself.

I use either UR Dragon of Echigo (Corsair troop) or SSR Uesugi Kenshin (Elite Black Rider) as my frontliner when I go PVP or just to get the arena related reward.

I just got a Mori Motonari from last month's 25th day daily log in reward. But in comparison to other generals that I have (in which those generals have Elite Marksman troops) like SSR Honnganji Kennyo, SSR Miyamoto Musashi and SSR Takeda Shingen, Mori Motonari still have the best damage amongst the four.

The progression is slow but still I am just enjoying the game and just doing baby steps (upgrades, leveling research, construction, etc... one at a time). For now the android app is still not functioning and makes us android users sitting ducks lol.
