Sorry reposting this question, but I basically haven't played since the last event, and the English wiki doesn't have a page dedicated to them so I want to ask, how do medals work? I know that certain ships require ?4? for a kai ni, but don't 1-5 and 5-5 drop different medal types? What medal types are events dropping and what ships can use 1-5 medals?

[Anonymous No.]

Reposting some info from the previous thread:

MI formation:
Top left is an ASW formation
Top right (Alert) appears to increase evasion and shelling power of the second fleet.
Bottom left (Diamond) increases Anti-Air defense.
Bottom right greatly increases the evasion and torpedo accuracy of your second fleet while preserving the shelling accuracy of the first fleet. Recommended for bosses.

Effective LOS:
2 x (recon plane LOS) + radar LOS + sqrt (total LOS - recon plane LOS - radar LOS).

Why Ooyodo is not a repair ship like Akashi but instead a regular CL?

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353842
2-5 isn't really that hard. Might take some buckets if you want it done quickly but due to the level scaling it's really doable.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353842
2-5 is easy. And it's not like there are this many ships worth blueprints.

Is there anything conclusive for the special formations for MI? I've been using #4 (bottom right) for everything, tried both #2 (top right) and #4 for boss but haven't seen much difference since the boss is so easy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353845
Because she was historically a CL?

Does level scaling jacked up LOS?

>Does level scaling jacked up LOS?
That's for Lv100 Admiral, so it should be scaled down.

[Anonymous No.]

The LOS scaling based on the HQ was like the most stupid idea ever.

It's not that my destroyers have a fourth slot just because I'm lvl 103.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353899
4 (Naganami) was already in the game before this event and 5 (Makinami) still isn't out yet. Hayashimo is 17 and Kiyoshimo is 19.

Not to question the information, but would like a source just for confirmation

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353916
It's not. At least I don't think it is. I didn't have to do anything particularly special to meet the requirements.

I'm more apalled at the amount of people who didn't train Tone and Chikuma. You'd think that by now everyone would have been wiser in the LOS department, but noooooo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353928
I don't particularly like Tone and Chikuma, and I don't particularly like having to train ships just because they're useful.

I'll be going into E6 with my Musashi at level 1 since last November. I might more than likely fail it, but dammit, I'm going to fail it with style.

"Is the order a rabbit?"

[Anonymous No.]

Finally beat E1 after 100 buckets. 60 buckets used for 2xCVL and 1 win and 40 buckets used for 1xCVL strategy. CVL confirmed for Abyss spies.

So what do I need to know about E2 to use less than 100 buckets? The hint to use 2xCVL is already making me want to vomit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353975
Poor CVL, the devs even recommend using them and then they are reduced to mules to fullfill LOS and AS requirements.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353975
the nice, non-RNG-troll route is 2 DD 2 CA(V) 2 CVL (with enough LOS). You're still subject to a troll submarine-or-not node but that is completely unavoidable.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353975
Two main compositions, 2CVL/2DD/2CA(V) (south) and 2CVL/2BB(V)/2CA(V) (north).

The former is an easy route that will make you want to slowly and brutally murder your CVLs, who will invariably go to red on every other node. The latter is a more difficult route that has tougher enemies and a night battle node (so your CVLs will still go to red at the drop of a hat) but is a good idea for the final kill because you can bring your heavy guns and completely trash the boss.

Other than that, it's a bizarre wonderland where you will start praying for the submarine composition on the third node. Also, the harbor toddler bitch is a total joke, you'll feel sorry for her if you can get over your all-consuming anger at CVLs (both yours and the opponent's, flag Nu in diamond can oneshot whatever it damn well pleases).

[Anonymous No.]

So guys, did anyone sink their escort flagship yet?
There is no auto retreat when she is red.

[Anonymous No.]

Fuck it. I'm done with this event. Got Ooyodo. Got Tanikaze. Cutting my losses. This event can eat my asshole.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12354000
So, what planes would do good? I kept reading not to bother going for air superiority at boss node? And do you have to use support expeditions to get a clean kill or just slowly chip away the gauge and use support for the final kill?

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353975
1. Pick 2 CA(V) and give them proper* equipment.
2. Pick 2 CVL and give them proper* planes.
3. Pick 2 DD and give them lots and lots of love.
4. Give them radars, too.
5. Sparkle your fleet.
6. Pray, make a blood offering to RNGods.
7. Sortie.

* Find your own optimal setup.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12353994
Hey now, I managed squeeze one of those SS rank dragon planes on my Ryuuhou. She gets MVP sometimes. The age of CVLs is upon us.

[Anonymous No.]

Does anybody else feel like MI is really anticlimactic?

AL wasn't hard, but it was at least interesting. But MI is nothing more than a resource tax with a lame gimmick for CV-fans to masturbate over.

[Anonymous No.]

Should I use ASW equips over radar on my DD for E-4 for the troll sub node?

[Anonymous No.]

>>12354014
Oh nah, they have no problems with MVPs. My CVLs get MVPs all the time, often in the same node where they get to red.

It's the "not dying" part where they are lacking.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12354010
I just had 2 Reppus on Chitose and Chiyoda's largest slot. Whether or not I had air superiority, I did not notice (but I *think* I did).

[Anonymous No.]

>>12354002
I want to sink my CVLs because of this exact bullshit. They get to orange on the first node, somehow make it to preboss node with submarines, they still get hit to red.

>recon plane LOS
So other plane LOS (Tomonaga/Egusa squadrons etc) dosen't count?

[Anonymous No.]

>>12354027
Radar LOS shouldn't be called that, because radars are not the only non-recon items that give LOS. I think those planes fall under that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12354051
No, that's retarded. They wouldn't even put the stats on the plane if it gave some negligible decimals. Only natural LOS is rooted.

Barely any resources and anywhere between 100 and 600 buckets.

Good thing that bucket expeditions can give you back around 20 per day, if you spend 10 hours or so cycling expedition 2.

I tried this and got a dead end. Probably need more LoS so attached all I could. If next trip is dead end too, I guess I'll have to fill my CVLs with less AA and more scouting.

Buckets are just so impossible to get. I've been leveling ships + bucketing since last event. I gained about 250 buckets total on those months.

As a non-NEET I'm probably supposed to be buying buckets of buckets. But I like trying to play it free on my free hours.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12354103
>triangle formation?
You mean this one?

[Anonymous No.]

>>12354119
The moment you need luck to clear something, it's not about having a diverse fleet. I know it needs to be challenging, but when it needs too much luck, there's something wrong.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12354086
Congratulations, I just got out of there as well. I'm especially proud of Kisaragi, she somehow did some 120 damage on the boss by herself and let Kako finish her off during night battle.

I've been looking forward to using her in a boss battle since she failed to dent a 1HP BB princess during Fall E5. Now at last she can have her revenge.

>>12354100
I ran double line, line ahead, double line. Line ahead in the second node allows you to drop these CAs before they get to the torpedo phrase. Using a light (2CVL2DD) route support is also useful for the same purpose.

[S. Ephemeral !ztZDB7MARE No.]

And that was a wrap for now, I've been rewarded with an inferior, trophy CV which I wouldn't probably use for a long time. Operation MI was like playing in Easy Mode, but the idea of combining two fleets into one was fun nonetheless.

E-1 to E-5 expenditures cost me around 25k Fuel-Ammo-Steel / 12k baux and burned 350+ buckets. Also If I had some spare CVLs, I would have started E-6 right away. Might as well grind them for a week or two.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12354158
I blocked off most of E2 already. One more DD doesn't make a big difference, though.

I'm relieved. I saw that 100k resource/400 buckets report and thought that was it for me.

If E1-5 uses that much, I can definitely tackle E6. I should get back to 500 buckets as soon as possible, though.

If I can't kill the E3 boss in green T with support in her normal form, I don't know how I'm going to do this.
The CVs just run out of planes on the way. Akagi couldn't even attack. And Yamato doesn't know how to operate 46cm and misses all the time.

Yasen Ru does single digits to Ise, elite Ri crits Yamashiro for 68; I just fucking love it. The trollsub and yasen Ru hardly ever do anything, it's always the Ri at first node (and now yasen node too) or the Ru at preboss. And I'm only using a single CVL too, but it doesn't matter as the flag Ri goes and crits Maya to red instead

I am seriously dreading E-2 now if I ever make it since I'll be stuck with a lvl 30 Shouhou to go along with the lvl 37 Junyou I'm already using. Fuck the devs for making us need just as many CVLs as CVs (4) for this event.

DD isn't, that's true, but your CA and CVL are capable of crippling or sinking Ta/Ru/Nu. Mikuma with ~90 FP can crit battleships to orange with a single attack (very rare) and sink/heavily damage them with a double attack (not so rare).

You make me want to try using my shipfu Mochizuki on this. Problem is, 130 levels don't make up for her still having barely over half of Poi's firepower, I think I'll stick to using her on ASW maps like last event's E-4. I already bound Poi and Shigure to AL anyway when I was testing center route on E-1.

>>12354386
>>12354401
First node on E-2 is just an elite Ta/Ru in ring formation isn't it? If you're really worried you could try using double line for defense, but line ahead to try to kill stuff faster (i.e. before she gets a second attack) would be best.

Running 2-5 with the same composition (though I could use my best ships there) I get past the flagship Ru at least half the time using line ahead all the way.

4 DDs in your escort fleet has a chance to go south. I have DDs set up for double attack and a sonar on each in case I get sent to the sub node.

Interesting. Of course the thing is, I'm already saving my two best CVLs for E-6 and using low level ones on AL, so I hopefully wouldn't have to use that strategy.

I guess I might just stick with Maya and Choukai and if Haguro rides the bench the whole event then so be it. Fucking lockout mechanic making me be too conservative with my ship use.

I haven't been to E6 so I can't confirm, but I used Haguro and Myoukou for AL and while they may have been part of the reason it was so easy for me, I sure as hell wish I had them for tearing into the MI bosses. I'm doing okay without them, but I would have a lot more confidence if they were here.

MI needs every DD you can spare, so you can certainly bring her there. Besides, you'd be surprised how fast Mutsuki-class can stack up scratch damage against bosses.

This event encourages using pretty much every ship in your arsenal, so there's no better place for your old guard to make their comeback. I'm really enjoying how my old event team is split evenly across the maps (Yamashiro, Kako and Kisaragi on AL, Kongo, Kirishima, Kiso and Sendai on MI, Fuso and Kitakami on Doolittle) and how they're kicking ass and taking names on every front (except E6, that remains to be seen).

Well, E-1 wasn't as bad as it looked like it could be. HQ lvl 103, took me 15 attempts south route with this fleet, after 4 attempts center route. Ring, echelon, line ahead, line ahead. 5 out of 9 failures were Junyou getting critted by yasen Ru, only got hit to red by sub once (Ise during green T).

>>12354861
>>12354872
I was thinking about using other DDs on AL or something, but I have enough super DDs to go around. Bound Poi and Shigure to AL (along with Bep and Amatsukaze for testing center route on E1), but still have Beaver, Seal, and Ayanami for MI. Shimakaze is outleveled by lots of DDs so I guess I could replace her if I really wanted.

Actually now that I think about it, I could use Shimakaze and Z1 for my support expedition fleet; due to their higher fuel usage and rounding effects you only have to refuel every 5 expeditions instead of 4.

I went with Zuuin.

After early trolling, I finally managed to reach E-2 boss a couple times; problem is first time I only chipped her to 50%, second time I only beat her with lucky targeting in night battle. Second time I even had no ships in orange entering, but wind up with red DD, orange DD, orange CA and the fortress and Ri still alive entering yasen.

I was thinking about doing route support but I might end up needing boss support too if I have that much trouble even with my ships in good shape. I had been planning on only using boss support for the final kill.

I have no fucking clue how lolihime manages to crit my CAs in shelling phase so easily with only 90 firepower + 5 inch gun and ring formation.

It goes always to node B, but you might still meet the subs after that.
Also, Akitsumaru is like 1 and a half fighter slots saved on your carriers, so she isn't even deadweight. Too bad carriers refuse to attack the boss.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12355434
I used 1 Zuiun and 1 Seiran on each, I needed that little extra air power to get superiority at 3 CVL preboss node using only 1 CVL. The problem with those though (and why people have previously recommended using normal recon planes) is your BBVs will then attack the trollsub at first node instead of shelling. You have to make sure the sub dies (ring formation or ship with ASW equipment) if you're going to use bombers so you don't eat torpedoes from a surviving CA or CL.

Consider that instead of 100 high level ships I have only 10 which have level >20 that also have shit equipment, also I don't have 100k resources each but only 1-2k, the same applies with buckets: only 50 indead of hundreds.

Wait till you reach E6. It feels radically different from the rest of event, and way to similar to old shit.

I'm already using Junyou in the flagship slot, there's no point in putting one in the second slot though. Shouhou is a reppuu/saiun mule so I had to put her at the bottom so as not to fuck myself over at start of second shelling phase.

I'm almost starting to think about taking north route since as far as I can tell regular CVs are allowed. The yasen node can't be THAT bad since there's only 4 enemy ships which increases your chances of taking out at least 1 Ru before she fires. But I wouldn't have any carriers leftover for support fleet use then after MI (though my CVLs being saved for E-6 could be used as support until then).

While I agree with you, I'm against treating "autism simulator timesinks" as the worse kind of games. The event is fun and arguably the best one so far, but Winter 2013 was fun too. Different, but still fun. Spring 2014 was unpolished and gave that "placeholder event" vibe, but wasn't bad at all.

Skyrim is the prime example of autism simulator timesink, but properly moded it's fun too. Please don't generalize.

I can't change who the enemy crits, so all I can do is sit here like a retard and press sortie, abort, wait fatigue, repeat.

Loli boss trolls me every time. I usually am left with 2 orange ships to shoot it (and 2 unharmed CVLs wasting space).

Give me a fleet composition without ShitVLs and I'd clear this in a heartbeat. But no, I have to have useless ships at the boss because the devs said so.

The CV fleet will suck down a good bit of bauxite, and since both fleets are taking damage you'll have to repair potentially 2x as many ships. Support is helpful if you want to absolutely ensure a kill, so that's another few hundred fuel and ammo every sortie.

It's not totally terrible. If you were stockpiling the last month, this is the reason.

This may or may not have been coincidence, but when I tweaked my CA/CAV members I had a more consistent boss arrival rate.
Based on some of the comments on the doorblog, it seems like if you have 2 CAs/CAVs it increases your chance of getting sent home. Having 1 CA + 1CAV (and 2CVL + Nagara & Mutsu) allowed me to make 3 straight trips to the boss without getting diverted.

I just started using route support and remembered why I never bothered with it on previous events (only boss). Even with sparkles it doesn't show up half the time. Last run I still managed to reach boss with support never showing but go to night with everyone orange and my CAs can't even crit lolihime.

Of course it figures I threw away one good run when I tested dropping a Saiun so that my second CVL can actually attack, but nope, sent wrong way after preboss node.

Also, when did they change support fleets so that you're forced to resupply fuel every time? You used to be able to repeatedly send them out losing a % of fuel each time until rounding made you run completely out, thus saving fuel. I'm sure that it still worked that way last event.

DDs are still fine, you can turn 1 CVL into Saiun/Reppu carrier, while the other one can carry Reppu, Saiun and magic Tenzan.

DD aren't completely useless and can help cleaning enemy DD, and 2x CA(V) with sanshiki are enough to defeat the boss.

But one my CVLs is already a Reppuu/Saiun carrier just to get 3 Saiun for the earlier runs. Although getting superiority will be impossible for her final form anyway so I guess a Reppuu gets replaced with the 4th Saiun rather than my lone bomber.

And fuck night battle targeting so hard; with the Ri alive at green HP, my orange CA and my DD target hime (not kill her), and my green CA kills the fucking Ri. Thank god I wasn't on the final kill for that shit, I still chipped the gauge plenty.

That's what was so ridiculous about it, I wanted my Tomonaga Tenzan to sink a DD but it would just do a weak "crit" to lolihime instead. Repeat x5 or so.

Of course as soon as I posted that it finally sank a DD my next run. But then all my CA attacks target hime, DDs whiff at their DDs, almost nothing dies before yasen. At least Maya critted her in day combat for 110 once or I would have barely even chipped the gauge.

I THINK I'm down to 1 decent chip then final kill now; only gotten two full kills so far.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12356418
It's random. Usually I went line ahead on pre-boss node. If you get subs, their formation is rather unpredictable echelon - if everything goes fine, they'll miss or deal scratch damage. If you're unlucky, they'll crit you hard regardless of formation. If RNG decides to pick the surface setup, you'll at least deal full damage.

Yeah, she and Shouhou have some of the most abysmal evasion in the game, despite being fast CVLs. They beat subs and ships like Akashi but that's about it.

I think luck might affect the chance of a ship getting hit to red versus orange when it gets "one-shotted" but can't sink. At least it would explain why my Taihou always went red from last event's E-5 second node yet Zuikaku would always go orange.

From my experience (lv 100):
- before final kill: 86 eLOS from equipment (recon+radar) was enough for full CGEK (2DD route was CGEK, right?) run;
- for final kill previous setup turned out to be insufficient, so I equipped another Saiun, which resulted in 104 effective LOS (from recon planes and radars only)

If you have the Saiuns and seaplanes for it you can try for 2CA(V) 2BBV 2CVL, it's worked for some people. I believe CVs work too, if you have the carriers to commit or if you don't care much for the MI part of the event.

Spring E4 had Wo kai + Other dick enemies for 80+
Below 80 only had to survive the Wo kai2 and got a free pass to boss node and free farm at boss node without even having to use ASW equips.

I didnt do E5 for sakawa but they probably got a easy modo version of that too.

Only ultra-low levels (below 50? wiki doesn't say for sure) got regular flagship Wo and normal boss So, everyone else got Wo-Kai and elite So, 75 was the boundary for Ta or not.

It was E-5 where low levels didn't get the escort Hime at boss node, she got replaced by a flagship Ri.

That's been my limited experience so far. They occasionally land a solid hit, but they're much less effective than you would expect the same fleet to be normally.

Did E1 with 2BB2CV2CA without a problem or suffering.

Tried 2CVL but I just ended up wasting like 25 buckets and a bunch of resources for nothing.

Comp I used took me to the boss consistently except for two times I had to retreat due to unlucky crits. Only used 15 buckets after switching to this new comp.

If anyone is still below 99 and has the CVs to spare then they should definitely try out this one, was like playing E1 on easy mode.

E-3 boss node is a goldmine. I've gotten Akagi, Kaga, both dragons, and I'm still a kill or two away from clearing it. I just wish it would give me something I don't have. Like the new destroyers. I want the option to reroll my drops on a lower rarity table.

I got mad, called in Musashi, and she got crit to orange by a flag CA on the first node.

God I hate 4-3.

Fuck this game so hard, holy shit.

I just had support fleet sink both fortresses and both DDs at final E-2 kill, and I still failed to beat her because she hit one of my CAs to red and the other to orange between opening airstrike and shelling. This is after a nearly flawless north route run with only Junyou getting critted to orange at preboss node.

I bet I'll never be able to repeat either that run or that support attack. If only I hadn't dropped sanshiki from my BBV for another Zuiun (for superiority at first node and more LoS) thinking my CAs would be enough.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12356852
No, not really. If you're using 2 CA 2 DD 2 CVL you only have two ships with sanshiki anyway and those fleets can supposedly clear it.

So for my next run I dropped my yasen equipment for another recon plane, replaced Choukai with Yamashiro, sanshiki on 3 ships this time. Doesn't fucking matter, Yamashiro hit to red and Maya to orange during day combat, and to top it off, Maya suffers that 1% chance to fail double attack in night combat.

Thanks for the encouragement, but I'm lvl 103, not 99, so I'm pretty sure I need 4 Saiun for final kill, not just 3 (I already needed for early runs). I was already using basically that formation for all my previous runs.

But when I can't even beat her final form with a stronger fleet entering the battle in good shape it's hard to keep going. I feel like I used up all my luck on the route reaching those two disastrous boss fights and it'll only get worse from now on.

Just did that. My issue now is the Saiuns. Thanks though.

[Anonymous No.]

I tried running my Spring E5 fleet (Suzuya/Kumano/Nagato/Kirishima/reppu Taihou/reppu Shoukaku) on E6 and had some interesting results. Namely, it sent me north where the E3 boss would taiha one of my ships. Just to experiment, I wanted to see if I had the right LOS to get to the boss (I did). I was also running star shells on both CAV on the off chance that I got sent to the yasen node (which I honestly would have preferred).

So instead of running extremely squishy CVL, you can run justslightlyless squishy CVs if you run CAV instead of kita + another BB. I also had similar results with just one CAV and 3 BB, although I believe I was sent to yasen node one time.

I think if I ran node support I could probably have a higher chance of getting to the boss. At that point you are almost assured air superiority if not supremacy which highly increases your CAV and BB day damage.

Unfortunately I am down to 200 buckets and 17k fuel, so even with full economy mode I will probably be fucked. The Isokaze dream is so close yet so far away ;;

Behind the scenes, Akagi is giggling over the practical joke. Hiryuu is trying her hardest to look serious, but is on the verge of cracking up after Akagi talked her into doing that in the 3 plane slot. Soryuu shook her head and told them the admiral would have them peeling potatoes for a week for this, but then she was shocked to find herself on the battlefield with the admiral still not realizing what he was doing.

Arguably, if the carrier put up their planes for the first aerial phase and there's a second aerial phase immediately after it, the surviving planes should be perfectly capable of sortieing in spite of losing their home carrier. They'd just have nowhere to land at the end of the battle.

I don't get E4. I'm running 3 CV, CAV, 2 BB for 1st fleet and 3 DD, CL, CLT and CAV for Escort fleet. I wanted to try a CA over the CLT because 3 fights in a row at boss and can't kill her in night battle when she enters at 100 somehow, so I swap the CLT and go right twice. How sensitive is the E4 comp or am I just getting compass trolled? I also ended up swapping out most of the on the escort fleet for ASW ones to better deal with the sub node but not sure that is affecting it.

I see, thanks.

Well, I for one am holding off on Midway until the branching rules become clearer. If you can somehow avoid bringing CVLs and having to go through the night battle node, then E6 will actually be doable without 100k resources and 500 buckets.

In the meantime, I'll just stock up 100k resources and 500 buckets in the case that I have to force it with Yamato and Musashi.

This sounds surprisingly plausible. 2SS or more gets redirected, but get a Shioi with damage control and you have immunity from all these night battle nodes and only have the double attack Ta to worry about. If something goes to red, it's either the BB victim, who loses you only one bucket, or Shioi, who can be patched up in no time.

Boss node has only two ASW-capable ships, so even if Shioi goes to red on the third node, it's likely that her damecon won't be used up. Since you use CVs instead of CVLs, you can even put your spare CVLs into light route support and drop the BBs on node A before they have a chance to react. It's certainly better than the damecon-CVL approach, which evidently requires either a mountain of resources or more damage controls than I like to consider.

The rewards suck, the difficulty is pretty high while the rewards leave a lot to be desired.
The items are better than the actual ship rewards, people are aiming at past event rewards like Amatsukaze and Akashi for example.
There's also the bullshit lockout mechanic that forces you to either wait for people to figure out mechanics and comps or charge in blindly and lock your best ships or ships you could have used in midway or E6.

I have 6 carriers for MI and the final stage. 4 CVs and two CVLs. I rather not use CVLs for the final stage so do you think going with 2CV/2CVL for MI is a good idea? Or at the very least 3CV/1CVL?

Not sure if this will help you, but:

*Use the 2 Kuso-class BBs. They are actually extremely useful on E-1 and potentially the final kill of E-2, but they are too weak for anything else.

*As an obvious corollary to the first point, use the south route. It is bullshit, but the others are even worse.

*Don't bucket scratch damage. Everything on the map either does scratch damage or 1 hit kills, with nothing in between, so you can get away with redeploying without all of your ships being at 100%.

Basically, if you come back from a failed sortie and your CAVs are down less than 6 HP or your BBVs are down less than 10, just deploy them again after their fatigue recovers.

The problem with E6 is that you need to save 3BB, 1CLT and 2CVL for it.

Oh wait no, you need to avoid using hotels, Kaga and 2CAs.

Wait nah, you can do Shioi/hotels/1BB/2CV, so better use your worst carriers for MI.

No no no no, these are suboptimal. There's a secret route with BBVs, so you better not have used your Fusos and Ises for AL.

Compass is fixed in E6, you go ADFJ if you use SS/3BB/2CV or SS/3BB/1CLT/1CV.

You probably won't use the damecon if you get to the boss in red, too, since there are only two DDs and you can throw in a weak boss support. So you only need to survive A and D in orange or above.

Nope. CVL is only needed for certain routes. Fleet with 4 DD brings you to the middle route where it's just one easy night battle node before boss. Easy, that is, if you have enough yasen equipment in your fleet.

DDs: Double attack/cut-in setup; 1 with searchlight (put her in flagship), 1 with radar (preferably type 33), 2 with star shells.
BBVs: Zuiuns (or better seaplane bombers if you have them). Put them in the last 2 slots.

I went aboob/aboob/ahead. This fleet counts on the BBVs to sink the sub at node A before the DDs start scratching the rest of the fleet to orange so they don't get rekt in the torpedo phase.

>>12359606
>I have neither search light nor starshell.
You're level 75, so the following method should work for you (it stops working when you reach 80):
Get Ayanami and Sendai to Kai 2 at 1-5-A. Give them 1 type 3 depth charge + 2 type 3 sonars (craft them if you don't have them; 10/10/10/20 gives sonars and 10/30/10/31 gives both). Sortie them solo there and retreat after first node. They'll level up quickly at a very low cost if you keep at it (540 exp per run), and due to how fatigue now works they won't ever get fatigued. If they get crit you should be able to wait out the repair time; if you can't wait I guess you can bucket them.

I think this whole ship locking mechanic sets a scary precedence for KanColle. If the point of it was to force TTK to have a diverse fleet, I think they might have to tweak the way the locking works if they really want that to happen.

Right now, the new locking mechanic just encourages people to ditch weaker stat ships in favor of having more duplicates of the powerful ones. Over time, this mechanic will just encourage people to hold onto only a handful of unique ships and a bunch of duplicates of those ships.

If they want TTK to have a diverse fleet, the locking needs to bar duplicates as well. I fear the new world we're entering of super fleets made up of dozens of Taihous, Yamatos, etc.

I have a feeling that the devs probably foreseen this and decided to roll with it anyway. Diverse fleet will require admirals to have more dock space or at least strain their space management and duplicated super fleet means more LSC and thus, padding the game length.

Personally, I don't mind that. I don't keep duplicates unless the expedition calls for it and had tried to keep my fleet as diverse as possible. I like it that way, more excuses to sortie ships I don't often sortie.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12359717
That's true too I guess, you can only farm so many ships at 1-5-A before you reach level 80.

But with PvP supplements I think he should have just enough buffer to get Sendai and Ayanami to level 60 and 70 respectively.

If he sorties Sendai as flagship with Ayanami (and maybe 2 other DDs) in tow it could get slightly faster (up to 33%) at maybe double to quadruple the cost (his resources should be able to take it)? Ignoring Ayanami's fatigue this way would allow him to grind Sendai to level 60 first after which he can focus on Ayanami, saving him a bit of time.

Considering how the devs kept the locking system secret until right before the event, and separated E6 from the other maps with only a vague, ambiguous hint, perhaps they want people to do that. The min/maxers will keep themselves busy for months and waste tons of resources, only to be fucked over by surprise duplicate blocking implemented at the beginning of a new event.

It's the worst equipment setup I've seen in a while. Stack Zuiuns on BBV. Craft some more ASW items, depth charges and sonars. You don't need a fighter on CVL. Put shipgirl with best ASW (i.e. CL) in the last slot.

Chiyoda (Reppu, Reppu, Saiun, Saiun)
Ryuujou (Reppu, Reppu kai, Saiun, Damecon)

2CVL+4(you can add another CV for more reppus) will have a high success rate to boss since it is north and give you air superiority against Kaga. Most expensive route. No night battle.

1SS+5 will bring you the south route where you have to go through 2night battle node. The BB can double shot your CV into the red. So 2 out of 6 chance to fail. Cheap.

What you want to do with your fleet equipment
1) Have enough air superiority for artillery spotting
2) Meet LoS
3) Have enough firepower to kill her

I don't have the time to find the most cost effective fleet for each map. But I need to be careful about my resource spendings and make the most out of the time or otherwise I won't be able to finish completely. I probably won't play until the 16th, which means I have 2 weeks if I'm not mistaken.
If I had been able to use the time I had now to properly use my resources and blast through the amount I'm above my resource regeneration I could have made progress.

You can afford 672 more S ranks at 1-5-A if you just reached level 76. Sendai needs 337 S ranks as flagship to get MVP. If you sortie Ayanami with Sendai, this will get her to around level 40, after which she'll need 340 more sorties to get to level 70.

That's 677 sorties, so you'll fall short by around 2k+ exp but it's not too big a gap. Even with a bigger gap caused by having another DD snatch MVP instead, it shouldn't go above 5k exp, nothing that a few sorties to 4-3 can't handle.

For PvP put either of them in flagship to maximise EXP gain. Preferably top 2 slots.

HQ lvl 30 here, depleted the gauge on E2 but now I have to kill the 500hp boss to clear the map. I run 2 CL, 1 CA, 1 CAV and 2 CVL whose levels range from 27 to 31. Every CL/CA(V) has equip to go on double attack, one CA has Shell 3 (cannot afford another one, already spent too much on 20 tries to get it). Should I try to replace torpedo bombers with dive bombers on the CVLs or there is something I am doing wrong? My last two tries had ended with her having 200 hp left.

Stop and gather back your resources. Craft one more Type-3 shell, they are pretty compulsory for your fleet. If you can, use boss support to wipe out her fleet and sweep the rest. Try to get some form of air dominance as well so that you CA and CAV can do daytime double attacks or cutin.

I finally get down to the last form of E-2 lolihime and now I can't get past the first fucking node without Junyou or Ryuujou getting crit to red by the elite Ta. Fuck this event, I've already burnt half my ammo and I'm no closer to beating E-2 than I was 5 hours ago.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12359894
>Sorry if ask stupid questions but why though?
One CL/DD is the most cost-effective way to grind them there. If you want to add extra ships, make sure your flagship gets the first turn, and can deal the most ASW damage out of your entire fleet.

>Couldn't I easily cram in some other low level ships while the DD/CL do the work?
You could, but it won't be as cost effective. Still, if you think it's still worth it, go for it.

>And what about node B/C? What's the difference compared to only doing A, do the further nodes give admirality bonus or something?
Because A is by far the easiest node, where there's only one sub. The next node will have 2 or 3, depending on your HQ level.

I haven't gotten past the non-sub preboss node a single time in all ~40 runs I've done. The only two times I've even seen the final form boss I had sub preboss and then support expedition killed nothing and both CAs were crit to red before or during night battle (which probably wouldn't have mattered anyway since a CA and DD were still alive). By the time I get to MI (if I even do) I'll be too burnt out and frustrated to even enjoy it.

Some more E6 experimentation-

3 Heavies, 2 CLT, CV goes south and compassed.
2 Heavies, 2 CLT, BB, CV has so far been going to the yasen node. With Kitaooi Suzukuma and Nagato/Taiho, i was able to do 200 damage to the boss, and those were entirely day hits. I didn't get any yasen hits on the boss, nor was I running support. Total cost was around 1k/400/800/200, including repairs on 5 taiha ships. Considering you need to do about 3200 damage to the boss before final form, you're looking at an expected minimum cost of 16k fuel, 7k ammo, 9k steel, and bauxite count that doesnt matter.

And now I am out of fuel so Goya will be busy for the next two weeks.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12359911
I see. I heard that 7 DDs was more than enough, so I guess 4 should be the minimum. Thanks for the CLT tip, I'm kinda glad now that I grinded Kiso earlier.

Uh, no. Only if there's a BB or BBV on one or both sides then there'll be a second shelling phase. Since all you'll be fighting is subs, that means you'll need a BB or BBV in your fleet, and I don't think it's worth the cost.

A and B ranks give less HQ exp per ship exp anyway, so you shouldn't be just aiming for S ranks.

Just finished E-5 myself, here's some food for thought. Using a gimped fleet because I accidentally sent some to AL, this setup still does its job.

With a Kongou class in Yellow hp, the fleet always went south following the B-E-H-L path. Always.

Cut in setup for DD is the way to go and Yukikaze is truly the mvp for this map.

You do know that in order to do that, I would need to know the required LoS to reach the boss at level 70-79 and from there I could do the math. However since I don't have that information, I can't do the math. I think you mean "Time for Trial and Error."

Also with KCV telling you your total LoS when you do reach the boss node helps a lot for others around your level.

Their point is that you should be asking for and using effective LoS. I think you got that, but now you have to change your question.

I love how I decided to save my best CVLs for E-6 and sent low level ones to AL, then it turns out that apparently you don't need CVLs, just Kaga. But I already sent Akagi to E-2 after giving up on south route and switching to north, so I'll barely have enough carriers for MI in that case (good thing I didn't already swap out my other CVL for a CV, which would have forced me to use Kaga on MI).

Of course E-6 won't matter if I don't clear E-2 first. At this point I'm not going to feel the slightest bit bad about beating lolihime, all I feel is hate. It would be different if she was a late-map boss, I love Wake-chan despite the trouble she gave me, it was proportionate for a final boss. But I've probably attempted E-2 nearly as many times as spring E-5 already (granted with way less resources spent since no 3BB 3CV fleet).

They do, but of the 4 times I've made it to the final form boss, there's always been 2-3 other ships still left (even with support shelling) and my CAs are either already red or orange and target something else or don't do quite enough to sink the loli.

I spent a month trying to craft 32s and 14s, ended up with just one 32 and five 14s and a bunch of 33s in the process.

Come to think of it, I got my first 33 radar a year ago from E-2 of last summer's event. What a difference a year makes, that map was about on par with 2-4 (with way less compass fuckery). Of course it had gauge regen, but it hardly mattered.

Ah, my 4 DD 2 BBV setup?

So you have Kongous + Mutsu available... you might have to train up a second set of Kongous to 25, for support duty. Actually 3 of the 4 will do; stuff in Mutsu for support as well.

1 BB is enough for MI. If you're comfortable with using cut-in setup on Haruna in E6, put Kongou on MI duty and leave the rest for E6. If not, use Haruna for MI instead of Kongou.

The thing is, she's giving me the bullshit crits even with a fleet of CL/BBV/BBV/CA/CV/CVL that reaches her in good shape and support fleet killing nearly everything. I'm thinking I might go back to 1 BBV and 2 CA since CA can do more damage at night. If only one BBV is green that's not enough to finish her unless she got chipped heavily already.

But first I have to actually make it back to the boss node again; thinking about abandoning double attack on Jintsuu and going with yasen equipment (or replacing her with CLT to do the same thing).

I don't trust southern route's yasen node because there are ships that can double attack my fleet, and yasen equipment can't mitigate that.

>>12360464
Working on final kill, 4 recon planes and 3 Saiun have been enough. It's easier to get LoS on north route since you don't have to use DD.

Now that I mention "not using DD" I started thinking that according to wikiwiki's info, it seems like it might even be possible to run E-2 with 4 CA(V) and 2 CVL (or even 5 CA(V) and 1 CVL) and just F5 if it sends you north; apparently you're only guaranteed to go north if you have BB or CV. That would be a hell of a lot easier than using DDs and you'd be almost sure of someone with sanshiki making it to yasen intact.

I have some spare CAs I could flag like Aoba and Kinugasa that tempt me to test it. Only problem is wasting loads of fuel and ammo on boss support with F5s.

Junyou with Reppuu, Ryuusei Kai, Saiun, Saiun

I just started using a light route support fleet to go along with boss support but it usually doesn't do shit. I'm debating switching Jintsuu to yasen gear; problem is I'm not sure how much it'll really help to justify the loss of day combat ability for first node.

For now I think I'll just start using line ahead for yasen node instead of echelon. There's only 4 ships so killing them before they attack seems like a profitable strategy; using echelon so far results in tons of chips from me followed by crits from enemy DDs.

Because no one knows for sure if yasen equipment affects anything other than cut-ins, and it couldn't hurt to try it considering all the shit I'm having to deal with at that node. (I haven't actually tried changing anything yet). Just survived a cut-in with orange HP then fucking Maya targets the Ru that already fired so a DD hits Junyou to red with single attack.

I fucking give up on north route, I'm going to test running 4 CA see if I can F5 for east route.

So as I promised, regarding E-5's routing: If you want to go south at the start, just put a radar on your second fleet (escort).

Not sure yet if the chance is 100% but it's pretty high at least.

Doesn't use support fleet, I'm sure with a support fleet you can take out the boss.

>Support expeditions involve sending a fleet into an expedition, which will then provide additional bombardment during the first phase. For the November 2013 event and Spring 2014, there were two support expeditions (109/117 and 110/118), and for more veteran admirals, expeditions 33 and 34. You will need to successfully finish expedition 18 to unlock expedition 33, and expedition 26 to unlock expedition 34. Currently, expeditions 33 and 34 work only in world 5.

For you maybe, but for the people providing the answers it takes up more time.

Look at this way, between a culture where people help themselves first and one where everyone pesters everyone else for help without trying to learn how to help themselves, which one do you think is more likely to survive?

Or rather, more importantly, which one do you think has fewer annoying assholes.

Im okay with sending people to the wiki if its something basic and stupid but telling people to go read the wiki for everything is just being a dick.

Even worse when we're on event time and people start sending everyone to a untranslated wiki instead of actually answering the question or just sharing their event experiences.

Would using 3 CV 1 CVL on E-3 to E-5 be significantly harder? Should I try to craft another CV or...?

>>12360863
Yeah, so asking about it is perfectly valid. I still want to know if it's a good idea to use 3BB2CLT1CV for the day route or 1SS3BB1CLT1CV for the night route. The wiki sure doesn't tell me that.

Besides, the answer to most of these dumb questions will take like thirty seconds at the most.

If they're not charitable and dont want to answer the question then dont reply to it.

Thing is, there are questions that aren't answered by the wiki. As for the dumb questions, just answer them. People soon learn that the wiki answers them faster, anyway.

As for the E6 thing, these are rare but potentially low-consumption setups, so if anyone used it and they work, they would make the event a whole lot more convenient. We have a couple of admirals trying these out.

Here's a guide on E-2, for the average TTK. I am HQ LVL 82, and as you can see, my ships are not very leveled. None of them are past 50 except Jun'you, which means I have a low LoS to begin with. Moreover, you want to be using Sanshiki for extra damage to loli hime, which means removing your radar from CA(V)s. Keep the seaplane.


One of Reppu and Reppu Kai on each CVL is enough in E-2. On the other hand, Saiun are added for LoS. Hibiki is being used as a radar mule for the same purpose. The changes are subtle, but the effects are huge. Retaining the same setup with Hibiki equipped for double attack, I was sent to node H. After radars were added I successfully passed the two LoS checks: one at E and one at K.

Often, you will be crit to red on the first node, or in sub node E. Regardless, if your CA(V) is weakened before boss, there's a good chance you won't be able to finish her off. Loli hime eats CAs like it's her day job.

You'll be using lots of buckets. That's the only real bottleneck in AL stage, so I am running exp 2, 4 and 10 non-stop to compensate for that. You get around 20 buckets a day and plus quests, it should be enough for stage clear.

You'll get hit to red regardless of your ship's level, so don't bring in ships you set aside for your MI fleet. You have lots of time, and patience is key here.

Please be careful of your health, fellow TTKs! When pulling an all-nighter, it can be stressful on your body, especially your heart and eyes. Get up and stretch every once in a while, rotate your wrists. Regarding caffeine, try not to chug lots of energy drinks. Sip on a cup of black coffee, or you can eat ground coffee beans like that anon from a few days ago.

Best of luck, MI is waiting for you.

>>12360914
You don't need extra radars, extra Saiuns matter a whole lot more. I think I ran a total of 3 Saiuns, which was enough to pass the 80-100 bracket LoS requirement.

Also, if you're low on buckets, you can get away by not bucketing scratch damage on here and MI.
