I just got Mutsu, and I have also gotten Shoukaku, Kaga and Souryuu on the boss node. CVs drop like candy there, even without getting S, if that is of any interest to you.

SPOILER
The real struggle begins now though.

So far I have used in total for this stage about 100 buckets and 10k-ish of each resource, except for baux which is around 5k.

Edit: Nevermind, I apparently did it on first try.

Oh man, Time waits for no one eh
I logged into my account for the first time in like 2 months lol.
I'm still at the point I was when the past event was over.
I still have set the fleet I was using for E-5 in the past event lol.
SPOILER

I guess I'm going to farm for 1 week and then rush everything next week or something, that if I get the motivation to play this again.

I think this event has the difficulty increase at level 99 and upwards.

This event is way way easier than the Summer Event. You could complete the three first maps with those buckets in less than a day. All you have to do is just plan what ships to use at what missions since boats get locked out of E3.

I used up about 20k ammo, steel and fuel, 5k baux and 130-or-so buckets for this event. It's kinda disappointingly easy.

I'm not gonna explain much more since you could easily find all that info yourself and you probably already know a whole lot about the event already. But a few more buckets and you probably have this event ezpz.

Knocked out half of E4 with pokes. I'll send a support fleet at the last kill tomorrow.

Fleet Command Facility is pretty sweet considering E4's difficulty is just around "possible to knock someone to red" but not "everyone dies on first node"

Compared with Summer - this event so easy. I spend only ~15k ammo\fuel\steel, ~5k baux and about 100 buckets. Hope, next event will be like that.

Finished E4, and thus the event some minutes ago. Probably didn't pick the most effective compositions and whatnot for every map, but hey, it worked. Never bothered leveling Ooyodo because screw glasses, so didn't have the Fleet Command Facility. This meant E4 was quite a pain in the ass.
Anyhow, for people interested, here are my fleet compositions, consumptions, equipment, formations and everything: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
For non-combined fleet, 1 is topleft (line ahead), 2 (double line) etc to 5 (line abreast). For Combined fleets it's TL = Top Left, and BR = Bottom Right.

Notable drops: Nothing god dammit.

Cleared E4.

I changed my fleet from BB/BB/CA/CAV/CAV/CV to CA/BB/CA/CAV/CV. It was ok at first, then I got this

SPOILER

Managed to bear the boss anyway. Then I got the exact same thing the next run, but Hiei got hit to red and I retreated her. Then this shit happened

SPOILER


B-D-E-G-H. I ragerefreshed since there's no way I have enough ammo for this shit

Switched back to CA/BB/BB/CAV/CAV/CV. The next run was beautiful.

SPOILER


Not a single scratch

Brought a boss support for the final run after the above run, and cleared it in one shot.



Notable drops: 2 Harusame and 1 Zuikaku. That's it. Gonna grind up those Harusames and steal their 12.7Bs, then go hunt for Mutsu and Hiryuu. Maaaybe Amatsukaze. And hopefully Unryuu and Mikuma start showing themselves.


EDIT: Picked up too many DDs and want to level them all at once? Help me test a grind.

4DD/2non-DD main fleet + 1CL/2DD/3non-CL, non-DD escort fleet. E4. In theory it should guarantee the sub-only C node, which is easy to kill and dodge even at 0 morale. Kill that for base 160-170 exp, and repeat. Suitable for DD, CL, CLT, and CA.

That sounds really smart actually.
What is even required for hitting the B node? Has anyone done it before? Or is it another one of those weird nodes that the devs put in for no reason?

The more DDs you have in the second fleet, the higher the chance of B. 3DDs seem to go there more often than not and CA/CL/4DD was pretty much always B (though I only bothered to try that setup twice)

I got this idea because people did something similar during AL/MI E5. It was even better then because both branches were guaranteed sub nodes so no rules to follow, and the base exp was a whopping 300.

I was tired of getting torpedo-damaged so a friend of mine did this because of my idea

it would be really amazing if Verniy was in the middle

Ontopic: I dropped even more ships from my E-2 crusade. A total of 9 ships popped out so far. (Akizuki included)
I'll keep burning my buckets as long as I have any.
Also, congrats to those who cleared the whole event !

Thanks!

I started the level grind trick on E-4-C with this fleet.
SPOILER

It's pretty insane actually.

You don't have to worry about your ships' level or morale at all as long as you have ASW equipment.
The node has only subs, and there's only one of them who can open with torpedo, and they are in either echelon or line abreast formation every time, so the risk of getting hit is really low. It also only costs about 60-70 fuel each attempt with this whole fleet, and no ammo at all for whatever reason. And another funny side effect is, if everyone in your first fleet one-shot all the subs, your flagship in your second fleet is guaranteed MVP.

The node is like 600exp for flagship and MVP, and it's pretty much as fast and cheap as grinding 1-5-A, except you use 12 ships here instead, and you get two MVPs.

Oh, Ooyodo drops in this event?
That's cool. I got mine on summer event, but because I just recently started playing again I'm just leveling her

Months later I'm still mad that I had to sent my Laptop to warranty right when I was going to give the final blow to E-5 for Unryuu and try E-6 for Kanmusu Saber AKA Isokaze.

I kinda wanna do E-3 of the current event, I love Prinz Eugen (when I was in High school like 10 years ago I did an essay for my Literature class about Battleships of WWll, Prinz Eugen was one of them, along with Yamato, USS Alaska, Hiei and some others.) but I did a few retries last night and they all ended in a ship going red out of nowhere, so I kinda lost the motivation, mostly because I don't have buckets.

Meanwhile I'm exping this by rotating the sub

I started Summer Event around level 30, and I leveled up to over 40 at least, because I remember having to deal with harder enemies at some point.

I was farming E-2 at that time, it was the furthest I could come in the event due to not having a big enough arsenal of boats. I spent my entire event there, but I didn't get her. Admittedly, since I was still relatively new to the game, I didn't have that many buckets, so the farm wasn't going as fast as one would like. It was a couple of runs each day at the highest.

Yes I was around during summer event. I cleared E5 and did 72 farm-runs on E5 for Amatsukaze (E2 was a huge pain in the ass and I didn't have a lot of buckets to waste there for the few runs I could get in.)

Basically, she's not as easy to get as you think.

I somehow managed to craft both Goya and Hacchan shortly after I got Imuya, so I think I might've been kind of lucky for that.
... Except it took me until like somewhere around HQ lvl 80 to find my first Imuya... she's ID 775.

...And then after that it wasn't until ship ID 2285 that I finally got Iku.
RNG can be really silly sometimes.

Oh, speaking of RNG, I finally cleared the event just now, and I feel like a massive noob for taking so long to do it (fwiw I started playing near the end of the summer event). Despite how apparently some people managed to clear E-4 with no problems at all, I personally feel that they made it a lot harder than it should've been... at least compared to the other maps. I heard about how the summer event was really inconsistent, but I also think that having the difficulty ramp up so drastically is also pretty irritating. Honestly, the main thing that really just gets me is the fact that there's no level scaling. It's like they forgot completely. But whatever I guess.

Oh yeah, and the drops. Heh. Best drops. I did manage to Ooyodo and a rare DD while I was clearing E-2 though, so I suppose I did manage to get something out of it.

Yeah, there were theories about there being a level scale at 99+, but doesn't seem like it if you ask me.

The final mission IS irritating to deal with, no doubt about that. But I think the devs aim for that kind of thing. The last mission always seem to be one for the more experienced admirals; something that shouldn't be passed by just anyone trying it. A final struggle for those who are yet not satisfied and wants to try something harder and put their big boats to test. I like to compare it to the Extra stages you can find in Touhou.

It ends up being kinda stupid though when it comes to KanColle. Since RNG is kind of the main point in this game for pretty much everything, difficulty doesn't really make things more difficult per se, it more just decides how much you gotta brute force your way through before passing the map.

The harder it is, the more luck you need. The boats you have doesn't really seem to matter in the end as long as they're a decent level and of the right type, which is kinda dumb I think. A level 70 boat could surely perform just as well as one over level 100.

Tackling 5-3 now with Akitsu/2CA/CAV/2DD. First run went hilariously smoothly (CDIK). Second run, not so much. Turns out Echelon subs can still cut in accurately despite shit normal torpedo accuracy

I started doing this too and on my third sortie I got node B for some reason ;w;

I've got 2 CA, 4 DD + 1 CL, 2 DD, 1 CAV, and 2 CVL... maybe I need that second CA in the second fleet.

I find it pretty funny that it only uses fuel though. I think it's great since I feel that my ammo's been depleted by way too much this event. Now I'll have a bit of spare ammo to try some 46cm crafting.

EDIT: OMG I just went B again. Seems like you'll actually be needing the CLT.

EDIT2: I still managed to get B once after like 10 runs, but it's not that frequent so it's alright I guess.

I know 2CA 4DD + 1CL 1CLT 2DD 2CA works 100% to node C on E4, but I'm not sure what the exact requirements are tbh. As far as I know, the more light ships you have in your second fleet, the higher the chance is to go to B instead of C, so it might just be that you need 2 non-light ships in your second fleet.

As for E4 being difficult. I dunno, it still felt considerably easier than AL last event for me, but that might've been because I was more prepared this time, or just because summer event was the first event for me. Tbh though, I was actually expecting every map of the event to be closer to how E4 was in terms of difficulty, so overall the event "wasn't frustrating enough" I guess, haha.

Well, guess this is going to be a double post but...

Decided it was time to do some LSC, and so I gave 4/7/7/2 a shot for the first time.

Holy damn it feels good to be lucky.

Just to make things clear, the only LSC I've ever done before was the minimum resource amounts, and it was basically just to get my first Maruyu.
now I shall prepare for the 50 karma attempts for Musashi

Best of luck.
I've done...I don't know how many tries for Musashi already. The result is 7 Yamatos and counting (no I'm not joking. I have the 46cm and water scouts to prove it). May the RNG be in ever in your favor...

She is pretty hard to get, especially because the BB formula will put her into contest with a bunch of other ships.
However, I'd recommend you to use 4/6/7/2 1. My friend in China is running a Kancolle VPN and he collects data through the users when they do LSC. From his pool of results, 4/6/7/2 1 yields 5.2104% (104 out of 1996 attempts). However 4/4/4/2 1 is not a popular recipe (at least in China) and so he doesn't have the results for that. However 4/6/7/2 1 has the best turnout rate thus far.

You can find the details here: http://unlockacgweb.galstars.net/Kancol ... og?sid=155
出货最多的公式 = Recipe that yields the most outcome
出货率最高的公式 = Recipe that yields the highest turnout rate
出货最多的秘书舰 = Secretary Ship that yields the highest turnout number
玄学时间/出货数 = Turnout based on time (For those who believe that time is a factor)
And you can also check out other ships' construction here: http://unlockacgweb.galstars.net/Kancol ... hipLogList

Oh and self-introduction: name's Nadeor. I'm a Teitoku at Brunei server. Currently lvl 103. Finished the event 2 days in. So for those who are looking for last-minute help I'm willing to provide all my knowledge to assist. I'm a Chinese Canadian studying in the United States (I know, complicated).
