Fuck off and use the catalog.
We already have a thread
>>13010375

>>13010382
Don't mind that. I'm just a retard.

Is there any penalty to switching difficulties besides lost progress?

I want to try farming E-1 medium a while by resetting the gauge, but I want don't want to accidentally lock myself

>>13010394
Just reset boss gauge.

What does this mean?

>>13010394
I don't think there are. Feel free to switch difficulties.

>>13010406
it means that you should fucking learn japanese pleb

>>13010406
Standard translation rates are 5 cents per character.

>>13010406
It means to read the wiki.

Keep getting diverted from the boss node on E1, do I need an absurd LoS stat or just keep pounding it?

RIP

>>13010418
Just put more radars on your ships and try again.

>>13010422
Buy resources.

>>13010406

You don't have enough free ship and/or equipment slots

>>13010418
You need more LoS

>>13010394
Can't you just farm it after finishing it?

>>13010418
45 LoS for Hard, 15 LoS for Medium

>>13010426
Some chink on twitch, he just left. Ended with a D rank on the E5 boss, while singing the Jojo OP.

Which fleet are you guys using for E3?

>>13010435
I want to be able to change to Hard in case there's rare drops on Hard. Namely I-8 and I-401.

Supposedly once you clear the gauge you can't switch difficulties anymore, even for drop farming. (Which is really dumb in my opinion.)

>>13010441
CAV 2FBB 3CV // 4DD CL CLT
Takes ABFHK or CEFHK.

>>13010442
Stay angry, casual scum.

>>13010435
>45 LoS for Hard
I did it with 35

>>13010442
I see, thought you were gonna clear it on medium.

Thread with non-botched OP
>>13010400

>>13010442
Why aren't you on hard?

Is there server maintenance right now? Getting an error message.

>>13010454
No. You're fucked.

>>13010454
Set time to JST.

Great help

>>13010454
You're banned.

Alright what's the best E-3 comp?

>>13010485
>>13010444

>>13010376
>New valentine sprites

who?

>>13010494
Murakumo, Shigure, Kisaragi, Mutsuki and Hamakaze.

>>13010494
Not your shipfu, as usual.

Murakumo is just too damn cute.

>>13010447

I did it with 29.

Requirement seems to be between 24 and 29, as I got rerouted on 24 and passed through normally on 29.

Why?
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=48588829

>>13010514
yeah, I know

>>13010458
>>13010479
Well, my API might have changed, since I just got into my account via DMM.

>>13010376
Is your name really Kantai Collection Kancolle General?

>combined fleet accuracy
Wow I don't miss this at all

>>13010422
He's got 900 buckets

>>13010559
God damnit. I'm sorry. I'm not doing this again.

>>13010571
But no fuel

>>13010571
He's out of fuel.

Has been a long time since i played this.
Does the API thing still work?

>>13010559
He might be a general in the Kancolle Army, who knows.

Gonna go to sleep soon, was only able to stratch E-2 boss, Ru classes kept critting my girls to Heavy dmg even with max torpedo bombers and support expeditions raining down on them to trying to OHK them.

Anyone know how long till the event ends?

How are you even supposed to get to the E-3 boss, BB Hime is critting two of my main fleet boats to red every time at preboss. Top right formation isn't the best for non-boss nodes anymore in combined fleet?

>>13010640
Go read the fucking wiki.

>>13010640
Torpedo bombers suck.

>>13010435
I don't even know how the LoS mechanic works, I've been out of this game for far too long.

>>13010640
Event ends on the 20th

Can I still get subs at E-2 or E-3 ?

Is there gauge regen on E-1? I've been so fucking unlucky I just want to throw up my hands and try again tomorrow.

>>13010668
You use torpedo bombers take out the little guys so your FBB won't waste their shots on them and kill the important targets before they are able to fire back.

>>13010716
Back to himeuta.

>>13010716
useless you change the difficulty they wont regen

I'm glad that Mutsuki can have some fun this event.

>>13010708
Probably not, but they do drop for sure in E-1.

>>13010734
Also Makigumo apparently drops in E-1 normal.

To her, it was love at first sight.

Stuck on E-3. Require help.

how much you guys have at LoS in E-2 ?

>>13010742
God damn /jp/, why didn't you tell me Mutsuki brought good luck?

how do u guys escape the hell that is e-1?! subs are so fuckin OP

>>13010775
Bro you ever heard of ASW

>>13010775
>hell
It's easy as fuck though.

>>13010775
It's an easier 1-5 with better drops. How are you having trouble in the first place?

>>13010771
Like 250.

I'm mad with this game

they are giving everyone cool ships and I get nothing
what I'm doing wrong?

>>13010793
Git gúd

can i use BB for support fleet in E-3 ?

>>13010804
2 BB 2 DD 2 CVL

Since I cannot load the previous thread on mobile I'm just gonna ask here. Any good compo for E2? Last time I read, there is a good one that takes South route.

>>13010817
Two CLTs a Two BBs and two CVs

>>13010822
That goes north route.

HIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEI!!!!!!!

>>13010817
dd, 2x bb, 2x cv, clt

>>13010817
DD/2BB/CLT/2CV
>>13010825
It's not that bad.

Can I do E-3 with 3 FBBs 1 BB 2 CVL - 2nd Fleet 1 CL 5 DD?

I'm low TTK so would be on easy difficulty.

>>13010817
Just make sure you have at least 2CV or CVL's and 2BB

If you want to use DD then be prepared for them to get crit by ru class and forcing to restart.

>>13010847
You can do whatever the fuck you want on easy.

>>13010817
2xFBB CAV CLT CV CVL

>>13010817
Just use this >>13008080
will take about 8 tries.

best E-3 comp:
1CV2FBB2CAV1CA
1CL4DD1CA

load up with reppu on your CV

BB-hime can't even touch the main fleet usually

e-3 done :
main ; 2 fbb, 1 cav, 3 cv
support : akizuki, jintsu, haruna, shigure, yukikaze, kitakami

>>13010855
Awesome. Just trying to get the exclusive ships from first clear. E-2 took a lot of me fuel/bucket wise.

Cleared E-3 with ease, but constant usage of support fleets drains a lot of resources. Now if only RNG would stop being a bitch and give me Asashimo.

>>13010871
There's nothing awesome in playing on easy.

>>13010817
Episode 5 anime fleet.

I can't finish off the the E-2 boss, my girls keep shooting at the wrong fucking ship (even if there is only boss and on other ship left, JESUS). I want to go to bed but I am afraid the gauge might reset. Am I wrong?

>>13010881
Composition? Route?

>>13010891
Read the wiki.

Thanks Murakumo, but I'm afraid you crit the wrong Wo.

>>13010891
Use Haruna, she's taken out the boss 3 times in a row for me.

>>13010891
>gauge might reset
How did this rumor start?

>>13010887
awwww fuck you're right

>>13010893
Same as above, but I used Hotels instead of FBBs.

Wait...what if the anime fleets are the correct compsitions for each event map?

>5 maps
>5 episodes

>>13010855
Can I fuck you in the ass for being a faggot?

>>13010907
Except combined fleet, genius.

>>13010909
Yes.

>>13010909
But of course.

>>13010907
Episode 2 was just training.

>>13010909
But he's right.

>>13010887
What fleet is that?

>>13010924
DD/BB/2CV/2CLT

>>13010883
Chill out. Not everyone has been playing for a long time and has 100k+ of every resource with multiple 99s

>>13010931
That alone won't do. You have to use the exact ships.

>>13010941
Does the remodel level have to be the same?

Wow E4 is easy.
I can actually do multiple Perfect S battles along the way for extra morale.

>>13010913
Episode 3

But you might lose a DD if you know what I mean

This event feels odd without a new Kagerou.

>>13010988
Heh I know EXACTLY what you mean ;) *puts hand on dick*

>>13010988
Too soon.
Never forget.
etc.

hurry up japan shota admiral X katori doujins should be previewing by now

that introductory line of Katori demands it

Capcha: erocr <--- even the capcha agrees

So wait, I cant complete the event map on hard to get Reppu 601 and then complete it again on normal for another Reppu?

So what's the best way for E-2?

>>13011011
Using 6 ships.

>>13011009
How the fuck did you get that idea?
What's up with all the grossly misinformed people in general?

>>13011015
But the support fleets require 18 total.

>>13011015
Nice Nice
I almost went with 4

>>13011018
People who don't know Japanese playing a game for the Japanese only fuck off pigs of the white variety.

>>13011024
>a game for the Japanese only fuck off pigs of the white variety.
How did you get this idea.
Are you pretending?

I thought AA cut in was good? Akizuki with air radar and 2 10cm+director cut-in and got hit to red by a single Nu.

>>13011046
It doesn't make you invincible.
Use common sense.

>>13011046
It's placebo.

>>13011046
My Kongou got crit to Red by a single Ru with a lucky hit.

Your point.

>>13010817
E2 done.
Started with 2DD1CAV1fBB2CV (AFHI), worked somewhat well, tried to improve the fleet to no avail, switched to 2DD2fBB2CV (AFHI) and got to last kill. Then I realized I don't have enough yasen power to beat Wo Kai so I brought Ashigara instead of one DD - went through mealstrom but all the way to the boss and won.
CLT goes through mealstrom too.

And here we go, Kako decimating false shipgirl. You can clear everything up to E-4 with no "strong" ships whatsoever on hard and spend less then 10k resources/100 buckets.

>tfw just started a few days ago
>Lacking ships and lacking equipment and also supplies
Is it possible to do some maps with this on easy or should I just go fuck off and do the normal maps?

If I try to do it in easy is it possible to get U-511? She's all I want. Doesn't really care about Amagi, even with that brilliant park of hers.

>>13011071
And what makes you think that we fucking know?
Stop being retarded and figure it out yourself.
It's your account not ours.

>>13011071
The first map is only DDs and CLs so if all of yours are underleveled as were mine, you're going to be fucked

try crafting asw gear. pvp for some quick exp

>>13011071
You have time, do the basic stuff, lvl some ships, craft some asw, and maybe you have a chance.

>>13011071
Trying won't hurt, unless you are a kuso who sinks ships.

>>13011071
Go craft some http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Development#Anti-submarine_Warfare
Make sure you get at least 1 for each ship and 2 for your flag ship.

Then go for E-1 and use all Destroyers, Maybe a few Light Cruisers.

>>13011098
I had the opportunity this morning to get my first hit on E1's boss. Sazanami was in red.

I had the chance, but I walked away

So for event maps, as long as it's not the boss node, I should avoid night combat as to minimize damage yes?

>>13011104
It doesn't count as a chance if someone is in red.

>>13011119
That's pretty much the general rule for anything that doesn't need killing.

>>13011119
This is true in general, unless you're trying to get a particular rank at a particular node before the boss.

>>13011119
Where are you retards coming from

>>13011119
Yes
And also night combat also wastes more fuel.

Make sure you Always have at your secondary fleet on Expedition to gather Fuel.

check wiki again to see which one to do.

>>13011129
Every event sends a swarm of newfags across the communities.

>>13011125
I meant I had a chance to take the boss at the risk of losing her, but I didn't.

Is there a way to stop going to the maelstrom (B) node in E-2? This lost of fuel really hurts when I hit the boss node.

>>13011136
The fact that it was even an option for you is kuso in itself.

>>13011142
Read wikiwiki.

>>13011134
Yea I wish this game would stagnate and die

>>13011136
I know what you meant, it still isn't a "chance".

>>13011136
Are you saying you skipped out on yasen or that you didn't proceed to the boss node?

If it's the former, you need to read the wiki some more. If it's the latter, as that anon said, that doesn't count as a "chance".

>>13011147
Did a boat rape you when you were a child?

>>13011131
>And also night combat also wastes more fuel.
No, it wastes ammo = reduces damage.

>>13011068
>You can clear everything up to E-4 with no "strong" ships whatsoever on hard

Yeah but what level are they?

Finally scored a complete kill on E-4 boss. Yukikaze is becoming my event MVP

>>13011169
E4 was bloody easy. I just threw hotels at notkaga until the job was done.

>>13011129
Question is
Where are YOU faggots coming from?. I swear /jp/ turned into /a/-v2 once this event started, there was never any complaints and discussions we're pretty civil.

>>13011167
Look at their HP you can figure it out.

>>13011142
Read the thread. It's fucking short.

>>13011167
Levels don't matter, remember? They are not 99, don't worry. The non-extra operation maps are really fucking easy even on hard, that's all. While doing E-5 is all but impossible without strong ships, I think I'll manage to do E-4.

E-4 S rank drop

Well, very first try on medium was an easy mop up of the boss, and no fleet locking means I don't have to worry about my precious shipfus being locked out of the fun.

Time to wait on repair and keep going. I am surprised that I did not even need easymodo medium was pretty damn easy.

>>13011198
I don't believe you.

>>13011198
Where's Isokaze?

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/WG42_(Wurfger%C3%A4t_42)

So what does this even do? It must be one of the most useless equips I've ever seen stats-wise. What justifies the rarity?

>>13011144
>>13011192

I'm using 2BB 2CV 1DD 1CLT, but it's still sending me to that node.

Yeah that was overkill for me to bring hotels but whatever, I'm not a poorfag who has to measure expenses.

any composition for e-4 ?

>>13011201
Believe it.

>>13011210
> Anti-Ground Artillery
Sounds like Sanshiki that DD/CL can use vs installation bosses.

>>13010845
My guess is that it lets torpedos target installation bosses who normally would be unaffected by the torpedo stat. But why that would be any use to an Aviation Battleship is beyond me.

>>13011210
Being German.

>>13011222
whats your equip ?

>>13011218
Read the fucking thread. I specifically mentioned what you're talking about. How dumb can you be?

>>13011230
Shimakaze has a red gun and a green gun and a searchlight.
Yukikaze has a green gun and the best torpedo and flares.
Hotels have 2 46 cms, sanshiki and floatplane.
Taihou has reppu kai, reppu, reppu. and Unryuu has Reppu-601, Ryuusei-601 and Reppu.

>>13011222
Katori a cute

>>13011195
How the fuck do you even do that.. I used that exact same setup in E-2 and got heavy damaged even before hitting the boss node forcing me to retreat.

Then just changed my lineup to pure BB CV VAL CA because fuck going back to base

Like what was your equips?

Any good setups to get that final E-3 kill? 1CA-2fBB-2CAV + 1CL-1CA-4DD doesn't seem to be cutting it.

>>13011258

Don't pay him attention, he's the obnoxious Hatsuharu fag. Ask him for how many Maruyus has he spent on those ships.

>>13011258
I used Shokaku before final form instead of Hatsuharu and enough planes for AS. Equips are usual red/red/plane/radar on everyone but Nagato. Carriers had enough reppus for air superiority. Nagato had 3 red guns with seaplane. No night battle equipment besides the plane. Since reaching enough fighter power with 2 carriers is pretty much impossible on final form I switched Shokaku with Hatsuharu, gave her AA cut-in and prayed for the best.
>>13011274
Nearly 160, why would you ask?

Made a pair of albums about how to clear E-3 without BBs on hard mode using Kidou Butai.

>>13011327
>>13011338
this comp gets shit on in the final form when the super Wos require 405 for AS

>>13011374
309. And you can reach it with 2 CVL no problem.

New TTK low HQ, finished E-1 on easy, then found out the other difficulties offered something different. Too low of an HQ level to unlock medium or hard still. Should I just grind other maps and then come back to the event later, or finish this up on Easy? This is my first event, so I'm not sure how important some of this gear offered is in the bigger picture, or if something else will be added in the next few days.

>>13011364
Yea

>>13011368
Just use the Oh!Yodo facility
2run 2kill, I can probably remove the cut-in monster. They never got that far during night batol.

>>13011384
The only thing different in difficulties is some of the equipment/drops. You still get the Rewards for first clear of the map like materials and the 3 shipgirls.

Event is only around for two-weeks, not enough time to get what you need for hard mode. Just do easy for your first clears and then you can look up the drops for the event maps and see if you can snag some extra drops from the nodes.

Can you get the new SS on Easy?

>>13011393
Yes.

>>13011392
Alright, thanks. I saw people talking about a 51cm barrel from E2/3, but seeing the HQ requirements and fleets others are running at higher difficulties now, it's probably a stretch that I would finish it in time.

>>13011404
What is your HQ level?

>>13011407
24

>>13011415
Yeah, you should just play the event on easy mode.

Why does the RNG like to wreck people at first node?

>>13011437
Would you prefer it be pre-boss node?

>>13011437
RNG hates TTKs who don't love their ships enough.

>>13011437
At least it's just one red ship

>>13011437
Better than watching your ships do 4 yasen double attacks for total of 15 damage.

So guys is hard mode worth it?

Did DMM get rid of the free 500 points? All the guides look completely different from the screen I get which leads me to believe they updated their system.

>>13011443
The moment I read that my Hiyou got crit to red at pre-boss.

Guess I gotta love them more.

Then these motherfuckers decided to mess around those golden BBs. Christ, even Shigure was one-shotted by the CA. Would've been acceptable if it was the other golden BB but getting one-shotted by a CA is just fucking ridiculous. And this is on head-on engagement too talk about bad luck

What LoS is everyone using to get between H and I on E1, I got 3 scout planes, and a radar, yet I'm still going from H to G.

>>13011528
You didn't state it explicitly, so I have to ask, but did you register a credit card with them yet?

The free 500 points should show up near the top, but only after you've registered a credit card.

My Kaga didn't launch any planes during shelling on E-2 boss. Did she lose them all somehow?

>>13011549
I already registered the card.

>>13011535
My KTKM got one shotted by a flagship CL at the first battle once.
It was a green T though.

>>13011569
Yes. You can check it if you haven't resupplied yet.

>>13011535
Get real carriers, not some converted lelfover.

>>13011586
Understandable because it's green T. But I can't accept a high evasion DD getting one-shotted by some fodder CA in head-on engagement.

>>13011575

>>13011596
Nah they ain't so bad. They've been carrying my events since god knows when. And /jp/ magic is working wonders again. Dodged like pros until boss's 2nd shelling which really didn't matter. Night battle sealed the deal.
I'm just surprised I only got air parity on the boss though.

>>13011627
E-1 Hard mode drops her regularly.

and its even cheaper to farm than 1-5 because its just DDs and a CL.

>>13011546
I am seriously doing something wrong. I am at a LoS of 52 and still can't make that jump from H to I

>>13011668

Just use 1CL+5DD it is eaasy.

>>13011668

>>13011675
>>13011676

I am using 2. I'll drop it down to just one next time then.

Perfect S E1 boss node for a Hyuuga.

On to E2 I suppose.

>>13011668
I use 1CL5DD with 2 DDs rocking Type 33s and the CL a Yamato plane and a Type 34. Got to the boss with no detours no problem everytime.

Thank you for that torp cut-in Murakumo, I couldn't have asked for a better Valentine's gift.

This means you can farm her very easily by gauge resetting Medium, before finally clearing the map on Hard.

>>13011757
Why would you want to farm her? the default equip?

>>13011757
Did you have her already?

How much did the devs fuck over people that try to keep their hq level low? First 2map is actually easy even in hard mode

>>13011768
Not that much given the rewards are only marginally better on harder modes.

>>13011768
RNG is making E-2 the same as AL E-2 for me. Either double Ru fuck me in the ass, or Tsu knocks someone to red.

>>13011198
whats your composition

>>13011761
In case you either don't have her or need more repair facilities I guess.

E-1 medium is piss easy compared to anywhere else that drops her.

>>13011765
No.

They might have made her drop easy for those that don't have her, but I doubt DMM cares about that anymore. I'll report if I get another though, since I plan to be farming E-1 for a while. (Still need I-8 and whale)

>>13011773
Hard is a pretty big deal on E-2, but other than that I agree.

Did E4/E5 really only have medals/screws/ships for all their rewards or is the wiki just incomplete?

15 runs, about 50 buckets. Nagato S rank drop as well

2DD 2BB 2CV(B)

>>13011714
E-4, along with Unryuu

>>13011484
2-4

>>13011800
Actually, you're right. The new canon is pretty awesome, but the others don't really matter.

Wikiwiki says the difference is just medals and screws, although they might just be incomplete as well.

Asagumo E2 drop

>>13011821
>>13011800
Drops might be important.

The wiki already says that Isokaze drops from E5 boss.

I know this is a silly thing to do a shoutout about but:

Fuck you anon who said I could not do E1 before HQ 40 with the last 2k exp I had to go.

500 exp to spare motherfucker.

Given how they did the scaling this time staying under 40 did not matter but still.

now to grind or not to grind for unryuu

>>13011867
The question is why arent you doing it on 2petals or 3petals?
The Reppuu 601 is very good.

Finally. Just missing Yahagi now of her class.

>>13011882
That was on normal.

Hard does not unlock till 80 if I remember reading right.

E-4 boss, hard mode

>>13011876
whats your equip

Have they mentioned the event end date? The last event IIRC was 3 weeks, right?

>>13011910
2 weeks, end at 23 feb.

>>13011893
I don't know why but she reminds me of a rural girl (might be the 山) and I love it

>>13011923
Got it, thanks.

What's a good E4 comp? Using 2FBB2DD2CV from the wiki right now.

Are there reports of Agano dropping anywhere but E2? I've cleared it but haven't had the luck of getting her.

>>13011945
Hotels if you got em, Bismarck with torpedo cut in is useful too

>>13011952
Nah, but I got mine in a pre-boss node E-2.

>>13011952
I got her from E3 boss node

>>13011952
Got 4 Aganos during E-2 clear.
She drops in both pre boss and boss node.

>>13011954
Thanks, will it change the route if I add hotels?

>>13011964
You'll take B-F to H instead of A-E but it's almost the same. If you use boss support you shouldn't need hotels.

Is it true that you can get banned if you buy things with a foreign credit card?

>>13011952
I got 3.

Too bad I already crafted her.

>>13011974
I've bought a ring, 4 docks, and 180 extra slots, along with a bunch of resources with an american credit card and have yet to be banned.

>>13011974
No.

>>13011980
>>13011983
Thanks.

>>13011987
If you are going to buy something, do not use a VPN.

Is it unfounded rumor day or something?
I understand some of the event-related ones since there are some new event mechanics, but why all these other bizarre questions?

>>13011993
I may have asked a pretty retarded question, but I'm not that retarded.

>>13011998
new players come with questions that sometimes, FAQs dont cover.
It cant be helped when some depend on the experienced for answers.

Formation 2 or 4 for combined fleet during pre-boss nodes?

>>13011909
i think it was something like
akizuki: 10cm, 10cm, 13号改
poi: 10cm, 10cm 33号
bisko: 46cm, 46cm, Ar, T1 AP
yamachang: 51cm proto, 46cm proto, yamato plane, T1 AP
akagi: reppuu kai, reppuu, egusa suisei , reppuu
taihou: tomonaga tenzan, reppuu, reppuu 601, saiun

>>13011993
>>13012005
Not him, and not thinking of doing it, I'm just genuinely curious. Why can't you use a VPN?

Is anyone here working on E-5 beside me? I'm so alone.

>>13012021
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combined_Fleet#Fleet_Formations

>>13012027

I'm on E-4 but my no BBs rule make it extra difficult. Not that I complain, it's hella fun wrecking eveything without a huge blob of useless metal.

>>13012027
Just finished E-4, sparkling right now

>>13012027
Nope, for me E-2 is AL all over again.

>>13012027
trying to, first node is hard as HELL

>>13012038
Japs gave me an idea to use surface fleet, and it's proven to clear this hell map. Do it.

THANK YOU BASED SHIGURE
FUCK YOU YORKTOWN

The scratches are real.

>can't finish off boss because no damage
FUCK

Kiso thank you you are greatest ally

>>13012043
hard map

>>13012062
They should really find a different shading for those destroyers who got fleet commanded.

>>13012065
Agreed, keep thinking that ship was sunk when its not.

>>13012059
Craft some ASW gear, for fuck's sake. It's extremely cheap and not that hard to get.

Based Bismarck and the 3 damage ap shell cut-in on DD, truly the pinnacle of German engineering.

>>13012059
I was in the same position as you.

Just craft ASW, I was lucky and pretty decked out with cheap depth charges after 10 devmats, and it was an easy clear.

E-2 though, that boss sinkage just burns my resources.

>>13012071
I'm HQ 35 and 10/30/10/10 10/10/30/10 doesn't give jack shit.

>>13012080
DD as flagship? Just be patient.

>>13012080
It's a low craft rate, but with that cost, you should be able to pull a few without spending too much.

>>13012080
>>13012071
Remember crafting is based on TTK level, so it's probably not as easy to get for a new admiral as it is for you.

>>13012080
10/30/10/10 for depth charge/sonar
10/10/10/20 for sonar

Keep trying.

>>13012080
I get my depth charges with 10/30/10/10 and Bep as flagship
8 in 22 tries

Any E-5 clear for now? I assume the combined fleet somehow alleviate the difficulty, so it should be manageable.

>>13012080
>10/30/10/10
Use 10/30/10/31. It has a higher chance of yielding any ASW gear.

>>13012088
Recommended TTK level for crafting ASW is 20-30. Since he's 35, I'd imagine TTK level isn't his problem.

>>13012096
I'm just about to start it. I expect some despair

>>13012063
It is. I cried on my first run.

Fleet command is useless when my flagship keeps getting hit to red. Goodbye Mikuma.

Any E-3 comp for easy? I don't have any CAVs yet.

2 CVL 3 FBB 1 BB
1 CL 5 DD is sending me all over the place. Even had a A B F G I K which was fucking ridiculous.

3 Stages done, 500 buckets left (more than what I started MI with) and yet I feel more defeated by this event than I ever felt during MI.

>>13012063
I just looked at the final kill comp. Double Dyson, Wo late, double Ne. Those fucking sadistic bastards calling themselves devs.

Against this terrible adversary my fleet proved incapable.

There's no LoS requirement on E-2?

>>13012112
Holy shit, it's just 4 DDs.

>>13012109
Hard mode is just so draining. I don't think I'm going to bother with E-5 on hard unless the rewards are far far superior. Trying to get my final E-4 kill still.

>>13012108
There were reports with no CAVs fleets.
Check the wikia.

I remember somebody posting final kill screenshot with 2CA2CV2FBB.

>>13012027
I'm trying.

>>13012108
This is the easiest composition so far.
100% boss encounter rate.
Had to call in support for my last kill though.
I am not sure if you can try replacing the CAV with CA. They are usually interchangeable anyway.

>>13012118
I think my highest level CAs are 18 and 13... fuck. I have a 39 Akagi but the only other CV I have is lvl 7.

>>13012027
Suggest me a route that doesn't go terrible routes and I will, because I'm just lurking for E5 comps.

Anyon playing in Sukumo Bay keep getting error cats ?

>>13012126
What about your CVLs? Also, do you have Mogami?

>>13012134
No.

>>13012134
I'm in Sukumo. No cats.

>>13012117
For me it's the fact that E2 and E3 were apparently cakewalks for everyone else whereas it took me over 30 sorties and nearly 250 buckets.

Best of luck to you on E4, though. I'll deal with that tomorrow.

>>13012109
How much resources and buckets did you use to clear those stages?

>>13012125
Does the 2nd fleet matter at all for routing?

>>13012136
50 Junyou/47 Hiyou for CVLs. Don't have a Mogami.

E-4 down. Think I'm gonna take a break tonight before starting E-5...might skip hard mode. Have we confirmed that the rewards for E-5 hard are basically the same + improvement mats?

>>13012112
My sides.

>>13012117
Isn't Amagi a reward no matter the difficulty is? I also hear the item rewards were just screws or something that varies with difficulty

>>13012125
What was your loadout for this?

>>13012144
CVLs are also acceptable. Go with 1CV1CVL instead of 2CV then.
And no, only the first fleet affects branching.

>>13012152
I know E-2 gave Ryuusei 601 instead of Tenzan 601 on hard which was worth it but I'm not sure about the later maps. E-4 was DEFINITELY not worth doing it on hard considering the rewards.

>>13012143
I don't feel like I was significantly worse than my level 100+ TTK peers--I didn't use a single ship below level 70, and I have all the yasen gear, 46cm and planes, but see >>13012142. 244 Buckets and 34 sorties, to be exact, plus 200k resources.

Both maps were quite easy until the last kills.

>>13012157
Alright can do. What should I do about not having high level CA? Should I at least take my Choukai/Maya to 25 and kai them and use them instead of Nagato and another FBB?

>>13012147
>blitzendegen

>>13012155
Everyone double attack
Shigure/Yukikaze cutin
Akiduki AA cutin
CVL 3green/1red
RJ has a type2 recon

E-5 might not be happening

>>13012174
At least you tried.

>>13012171
Thanks.
No need for Saiun?

>>13012159
I'm still on E2.
It's kind of depressing since I have already spent 60+ buckets just to shave 75 percent of E2 boss gauge, while others report ~30 buckets spent for the whole E2.

>>13012174
You can garner 10K within a week, try anon! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxGRhd_iWuE

>>13012152
All ships are rewarded, regardless of difficulty. The only changes between difficulties are the various bonus mats and equipment given.

>>13012174
There's still 2 weeks.

>>13012168
Try to Kai at least one CA. Then you can go with 1CV1CVL3FBB1CA, though I'm not sure about branching with this one.
Also, Nagato isn't a FBB though you can still use her.

>>13012185
E-2? I only spent 10-15 buckets there.

>>13012184
Do you like Green Tea?
I dont.

Which fleet are you running for E-5, /jp/?

>>13012185
If it makes you feel any better, I know your pain.

What setup are you using? 1fBB 2 CA 1 DD 1 CVL 1 CV was pretty reliable for me up into the last kill, if it helps.

>>13012198

>>13011071
My accounts two weeks old, and I will probably get the new sub without much trouble (atm I'm completing E1 on medium without much trouble)
#1: Spam expeditions to get fuel and ammo ASAP
#2: Do your dailies (ALL OF THEM) and do NOT use buckets for anything under an hour. (In the meantime just level a replacement)
#3: The FAQ is your bible:
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_FAQ
#4 Spend a WEEK grinding. (following this guide)
Use your dailies to buy anti-sub equipment
so instead of crafting items with 10/10/10/10, put a destroyer as your flagship and do either 10/10/30/10, or 10/ 30/ 10/ 31
(do the first until you have enough death charges).
you somehow have pretty great solid ships for just starting. Your goal right now is to get to the extra mission 1-5, and grind fighting the boss over and over:

http://www.himeuta.net/f6-kancolle-guides/guide-sortie-farming-powerlevelling-754.html

The goal is to get 6+ destroyers at least above lvl20 (so you can remodel them into kai)
AND to get a BBV and 2 CV
Grind with 6 ships until you can fight the boss with 4. Grind ise till you can remodel her and get to to become a BBV.
Grind till your around ~30,
then try to get to 2-4. Once you get to 2-4, fight just the FIRST node over and over with heavy cruisers

If you can grind this 1-5 boss, fighting E1 will be easy. Use this as a stepping stone to get to 2-4. The key will be to be getting a solid team that can handle E2 and E3. You get the sub at E3.

You CAN get the loli. You just have to be as efficient as possible! This may be your one chance to get her so good luck!

KAERE!

E3 done
Clutch shot by Shigure on a 1/3 chance
I am feeling good about SUPER KTKM-SAMA performing the same on E5.

Any idea if you need to do all five maps on Hard to get the Congratulations Shinji You Made An Effort Honorary E5 甲種 Participation Badge?

Because if not fuck doing E4 on Hard, I'm not that desperate for dev mats.

>>13012189
You only get that special E-peen medal if you cleared all the maps on Hard mode right?

This event has only strengthened my hatred for CVLs.

>>13012226
How SUPER is your SUPER KTKM?

>>13012226
That fucking greyed out ship. I swear, every single time I forget that grey means she retreated.

>>13012235
SUPER enough that she had never failed to perform the clutch overcrit overkill 1hitko.

>>13012248
I meant how many maruyu have you fed her?

>>13012250
40luck with night batol gear is like closed to 100% cutin

>>13012232
I honestly am not quite sure, since I'm a new TTK this event and just mainly cared about obtaining ships. AFAIK from wikiwiki so far, you can only get the medal by staying in Hard for all 5 maps. Haven't seen anything yet that debunks this.

I finally landed a clean hit, it will take several hours for my last dance with this whore.

>>13012257
Hard or normal?

>>13012201
1DD 2fBB 1CA 1CV 1CVL

And i forgot that complaining on /jp/ works, managed to kill E2 boss final form in one try after that post.

At Admiral level 93 I'm not feeling very hopeful for this event.

I'm lacking in K2's and special remodels (I only have one CAV of notable level for example), and my light carriers are a joke with not one of them past level 50.

>>13012260
Lunatic.

>>12953419

No more complaints from me this event.

I'm going to bite the pillow and fight my way out.

The fuck is up with those Wos and Nus in E3 Node F? Their crits are ridiculous.

>>13012267
Motherfucker. Well best of luck at E3.

>>13012268
You're not bad in the buckets department, you can probably at least get through the first two maps.

>>13012268
More than enough
It is like 15k gas and 100bucket(if you speed through it and bucket for minor damage and fatigue) for E1, E2 and E3 completion for 3petals mode.
This is with "I dont give a fuck, full support all the way because I have so much resources" .

>>13012272
I feel you. Full health haruna straight to chuuha.

>>13012256
That medal is the only thing really bothers me about this event since we don't know what kind of future use it will have.

Woo~! I just got Akashi from E-1!

>>13012282
Despite air dominance/superiority + AA cutins, they still manage to crit my ships. It's infuriating when I'm retreating more on those nodes than on BB Hime.

>>13012277
>>13012281

I guess I'm just being pessimistic about my roster, and after the Fall event ended on a really sour note its left me feeling a bit sour on events.

>>13012283
I can't wait to hear all the moaning and crying when the devs make the super medal the only way to unlock Shinano.

>>13012283
Considering the devs, it's probably a glorified medal. They are pretty careful in not giving OP stuff out to players.

The Kai2 sub looks like some slut out of a Comic LO volume.

Formation for E-3?

>>13012290
I really hope they do this.

>>13012300
What went wrong?
What happened to my superior nazi boat?

>>13012287
What are you using for formation? Top right (double line?) seems to be placebo, I get crit equally using that and bottom right.

E-6 for those who completed everything on hard. Shinden Kai reward.

>>13012307
She got addicted to mexican dick. Doujins soon.

>>13012292
It would work better as some kind of room furniture if it's just a glorified trophy.
But the way it takes 1 slot in the item inventory and how you can exchange it for resources means it may have more use than just that.

>>13012308
I was getting crit from using top and bottpm right so I decided to use bottom left which is the equvalent of diamond. Works for 3 sorties before the crits came back.

>>13012307
She went on holiday to Japan and got befriended by gay Japanese girls.

For people doing E4 and E5?
You guys running full support?
I am thinking of just going all in run and both support for kick.

>>13012307
