E3 Hard cleared. It was a lot easier than it first looked. You shouldn't have put a FBB in your second fleet, I cleared E3 with ship levels averaging 70-75.

E3 Hard Guide
BB/BB/CAV/CAV/CVL/CVL + CL/CA/4DD. Accept no substitutes.
CEHK is piss easy with only 2 battles (E is fuel maelstrom) and the only problem is the prenode's BB Hime. However, her accuracy is pretty bad; she didn't make me retreat once.

4 kills to clear the map.

Getting AS is extremely easy before the last kill, you only need 84. However, the last kill ramps it to 306 so just get above 136 for parity.

Searchlight on DD flagship (preferrably a high luck DD for CI), Night Recon on CA, 2 star shells among the 3 other DDs.

I used a boss support on the last kill only. Ironically, I failed when support sank 2 DDs the first time, then I won when they did a total of 30 damage the second time.



U-511, 2 rocket artillery (one from U-511, one from clearing the map), 2 medals, 4 screws.

EDIT: Doing E-4 Normal instead. While I could probably handle Hard, I need to farm for Unryuu here so I'd rather not shoot myself in the foot. As long as I still get a medal, it's all fine.

EDIT2: E-4 Normal Cleared. CV Hime was a lot tankier than I expected, had quite a bunch of unclean kills.

E4 Normal "Guide"?
Really, just 2DD2BB2CV. 2DD is required as per branching rules. Air power of around 240-250 upon reaching boss is enough. I felt that using AP shells on my BBs were more effective than just a radar.



Katori, 1 Medal, 3 Screws (3 less screws than Hard, otherwise the rest is the same). Helllloooo teacher.

E-2 hard and those Ru-class pissing me off - -
Juuryoushin
Event cleared, I finally managed to land the final blow after a little bunch of tries.
Sadly I couldn't go Normal so I went Easy modo instead.
The final composition has the original Battleship Water Oni, 2 Ru class gold, 1 Gold Wo and 2 Nu-class.

I won't farm anything since my desired ships can be dropped anytime in 5-4, so I'll afk and relax a bit.
Good luck to the future Admirals, you can do it !
Jinxy
E5 Normal is a fucking mess. The last kill escorts are Ru Kai x2, Tako Wo, Ne Elite x2. It's not awful but the preboss nodes got absolutely ridiculous upon the last kill

-17k fuel and counting
Evrien
Gonna start on E5 Hard tomorrow. I've got enough resources (I think) to pour into this. Let's see what I'll get.
domSaur
fk how am i going to clear e-3 w/o cavs (i do have Mogami and Mikuma but for some reason i left them at 25 and. 5 respectively. i want a Suzuya gdi)


or maybe Mogami should be good at easy..demmet, im paying the price of having an imbalanced fleet..
Jinxy
4 more attempts before I retire for the night, and 0/4 reached the boss node

Carrier Oni is fucking broken
zeroclover
me right now ...

Jinxy
My plan is to sortie all 4 fleets for the last E5 kill now. Among which is 9 BBs; 4 in main, 1 in escort, and 2 each in support fleets.
300+ Air power to AS+ the CV Oni with BB escorts. Not that it stops her from oneshotting my everything.

The SCAMP eludes me once again.
domSaur
i've already spent around 50-6 buckets on e-3(on fking medium. well, i also use them at least to the green hps who's one hit to becoming yellow)

everytime i hit the maelstrom node, someone in my fleet is bound to get red..

gdi i don't i'll still have stuff the use to clear e-4 and 5 even on easy(bec. i am going to run them on easy, my goal is now dead set on the ships and only the ships)

IMPORTANT: READ THIS POST IF YOU PLAY OFTEN

A bug has been reported on the jp wikiwiki of KanColle, apparently, a display bug can lure your actual ship health and the game can consider it Taiha (heavy damage) while it looks like it's only Chuuha. (half damage)
http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%B7%DE%B7% ... 6%AF%BD%B1 Page for those who can read. And please, it's not BS or fake.
They recommended to put damecons if you go on a dangerous map/mission.

Hope the devs make something real quick or we're all doomed to lose one ship randomly without knowing how.

Update: Only happens on poorly-programmed third-party software it seems. Just clear your cache often if you use KCV and it'll probably be fine.

Finally cleared E5 Normal today.
Chikuma, Musashi, Fusou-sisters-K2, Bismarck Drei, Kaga
Ooyodo, Tone, Kiso, Shigure, Yukikaze, Kitakami
Node Support: Ayanami, Shimakaze, Kirishima, Nagato, Hiryuu, Souryuu
Boss Support: Verniy, Yuudachi, Ryuujou, Junyou, Kongou, Hiei

Sparkled Kaga and Chikuma because CV Oni always wrecks them, and originally the stronger Node Support fleet was doing Boss Support, but I couldn't even reach boss so I just switched them around in the last round.

Green T on CV Oni node but fortunately support shelling + torps + Musashi's first attack left only CV Oni, who orange'd Yamashiro before being shot to orange herself, ensuring she couldn't try and fuck up my fleet 2 more times. Then she sank. Fuck that bitch.

Reached boss, and ended day battle with all fleet 2 ships in perfect condition and BB Oni at orange. All 3 NB gear proc, Ooyodo shuts her down to red so she never gets a NB hit off, and then everyone just wails on her with Yukikaze CI on her last 7 HP. Super KTKM sama didn't get a chance to shine but it's ok

Unfortunately I accidentally deleted by entire KCV screenshot folder last night and didn't notice I was screenshotting to a nonexistent destination so all I have is this picture. Not even the E1-E4 images remain other than what I've already put to imgur. Sad.

so i finally finished E-3 and went E-4 easy. however, the drops(esp on pre-boss and boss) were shit

thinking of going medium again but my experience with E-3 scarred me.. is E-4 going to be much more painful?

E-4 is easier than E-3 in my opinion. You don't have a shit preboss and your route is fixed with 1 FBB 1 BB 2 DD and 2 CV. (so was E-3 with whatever comp I don't remember)

The only problem will obviously be the boss ...

CV Hime can and will one shot whoever she wants. The fact that you only have one fleet makes the boss harder to deal with. Ultimately, you can go yasen with cut-in setups on lucky ships and pray for the fatal hit to happen.

Don't forget the support expeditions along the way if your resources are high enough. Also, Unryuu drops on this map.

and i've read this from somewhere but, is going South better than going north? :S

I never tested it myself, but it is said to be easier than most nodes above. (mainly because G has transport ships) Note that you have to bring Naka, Agano, or Maikaze & Nowaki together (not fully confirmed I believe) to go there. The northern path also contains a maelstrom at A if you have 2 FBB.

I find this path a bit scary because of the night battle preboss at I. (Yeah I don't like yasen, sorry Sendai)
If you don't want to bother with this, just take the conventional B-F-H-J-K route, it's not very hard this way.

For E4 easy, 2CAV/2CA/2DD goes south iirc. The key with this fleet is to give CV Hime only one shelling phase, before wrecking her in NB. The NB preboas is a joke; only the Ri is threatening and she's on the third position so there's a chance your side will KO her before she CIs you.

Only works before the last kill because after that CV Hime brings a BB with her so then you should take heavier stuff.

I'm using 2DD/sBB/fBB/CLT/Naka for farming south route.

Looks like there's a new API for KanColle. They patched up the API links, I think.

Is there a way to get your API link as of now?

Hell if I know. I'm using an API link just fine. I use KC3 to automatically fetch an api link for me.

She's a fairly rare sub (I don't think she can be constructed), and there are only like 7 subs in the game right now

Anyway


HELL

FUCKING

YES

I AM OFFICIALLY DONE WITH THE POST EVENT FARM

SCAMP GETTO

Final resource count:
Net of -13k fuel/-10k ammo/ -17k steel/+10k bauxite compared to E5 clear

The only thing left is Akashi from E1 but considering I have gotten over 300 S ranks and jack shit from there, I'll just go to 6-2 or something

i'm still at E-4 oh god

Hah...
..Wow I think I'm actually jelly.
I managed to get Yamagumo for myself though. I wish I could've gotten Unryuu though :/. If only I weren't so busy with school and... life issues.
Juuryoushin
@Jinxy: Shhhhhhhhh, grats. You farmed E-4 for the most part right ? There's no way you could farm expensive maps like E-3 or E-5....

The post-farm event aka E-6 gave me no exclusive drops from those maps but 2 ships I desired for a very long time.
The first one dropped at E-2 (F node S rank), and the latter at E-4. (Boss node S rank)

And since the Valentines CG are about to disappear.....

Anyway, the stuff I got & used has been summed up right here. (collapsible tables below the event banner)
Jinxy
I farmed E1 for the most part actually. 300 S ranks. 2 Tokitsukaze and 1 Taigei along with a bunch of subs notably, but I didn't need any of them save for the first Tokitsukaze. Still no Akashi.

I don't think it's impossible to farm E3 with what I had but I didn't need anything from there. And Isokaze can go screw off, hiding in the shithole of an E5. My aims were only Akashi and Unryuu, Yamagumo and Asashimo were freebies from E4.

Still no Amatsukaze but she'll eventually drop in my 3-5 monthlies anyway

I heard you did E-5 on Easy though.
Juuryoushin
Yep, I was too afraid to go Normal or Hard. Maybe I am not a man yet ....

By the way, a new quest has been added with the new update, apparently we can exchange some stuff with this thing.
