After further consideration, I think it's interesting that the great soul ticket event did vastly more to strengthen my defense team than my offense team, or at least it will once I've leveled up the new generals. On the offense team, it let me replace Mori Motonari with SSR Naoe Kagetsuna, and an inherited Tiger of Kai by yet another Takeda Shingen of Kai. Both of those are good, but nothing revolutionary.

On my defense team, however, my new lineup will be some five of Tiger of Kai (demoted from being inherited by the offense team), Sanada Yukitaka (got another one to four stars), Uesugi Kenshin, Dragon of Echigo (got one to four stars), Cyclops (got one to four stars), and Mori Motonari. All of those except for Uesugi Kenshin would be new to my defense team. Throw on a newly inherited Takeda Shingen of Kai, an inherited Sasaki Kojiro (for first strike) and a Kaneko Sword (for a third target) for each of Tiger of Kai and Sanada Yukitaka, and maybe I can finally convince Ghot5Nevermore to stop attacking me in arena nearly every single night.
