Suisei Hosimati
E-6 easy

main fleet


Sanshiki will given to Kongou at Escort once repaired




escort fleet

Dat stats...




Will get Sanshiki after Kirishima has been repaired, if required, i can take main cannon out from Hiei and Kirishima

resources

Fuel and steel ammount...

Expeditions and repair,those god damn expeditions don't give out buckets >:(

NEVER GIVE UP

Edit: Finish repair on Kongou and Kirishima, i would start after Chiyoda has been repaired

Jinxy
So who here does 5-5 and do you prefer BB/CV or BB/SS?

Playing around with 3FBB3CV (Bissie+Italians, Taihou+1Cardiv) and have 2 kills down so far.
CXu
@DestinySonata: Pls.

@KuranteMelodii: You should use AP Shells rather than Sanshiki for E6. Other than that, Littorio is kinda low-level compared to the other ships. You don't have anything else to go with?

@Jinxy: I've never tried 5-5. Maybe I should sometime soon :oops:

First of all, i got no AP shells, second, i don't have any more FBB other than lv6 Haruna, I don't have enough resources and time so i can't kai her

I surprised that even he only have lv12, Her stats is higher than my lv29 Kongou...

orz just barely cleared E-6 hard.

Limping on that last 100 fuel of mine, glad it's out of the way though ;w;

(Is there a reason why Isokaze is such a big deal by the way? I was considering foddering her but got shouted at not to.)

whoooooooooa

HELLO :D

Anyway, Isokaze is an extremely rare and hard to get DD. She first dropped on Summer 14 E6, which was the most bullshit map of its time as ships doing E1-E5 were locked out, and the boss node was 2 BB Hime. Then the next time she dropped was Winter 15 E5, which didn't have fleet locking but had 2 BB Hime + 1 BB WOni at the boss node. Currently she's at her easiest to attain, but she's still fairly rare; many hunters are like 200 runs in with no sight of her.

tldr: one of the rarest trophy DD

Also stupid pun I've wanted to crack since I first heard of KC: Rantai Collection

5-5 is some good thrill, and Bismarck is one amazing BB. Last NB shot, 3 opponents left, and she aims for and sinks the boss.

the only thing i didn't got on my checklist is Isokaze ;w;

i guess i should've leveled a far more variety of ships(and grinded the Ooyodo i got for the fcf which could've made my life far more easier). come e-5 i barely have any capable ships..
Kurogamii
servers are up bruh

I just wanted Unryuu
and Takanami
and another Yuu-chan so I could remodel it twice and then scrap it

all I got was some stupid Italian with glasses whom I didn't really even want and some weird ship with flying boats

guess it's my fault for not farming enough, had more resources and buckets at the end of the event than at start

pls gib, i want her as well

or i'll just start saving resources/buckets for next event
CXu
I don't think you need to start saving resources until they actually announce the next event. having 50~80k of every resource is usually good enough for most events, which you'll be able to gather from the time they announce the next event anyway, or just guess about when they'll have the next event, and start 3-4 weeks in advance. It's probably better to spend the time on leveling ships instead, as higher leveled ships will make your life easier in the long run, and probably save you resources, buckets and sanity.

just curious, which map you guys usually use for weekly 50 transports?
lately oreling always direct me to the boss node and mostly confronting diamond formation enemy which 70% will rekt my subs ;_;

People mostly use 2-2 for the daily quests and the transports weekly. Okay, I do 2-2 at least when I'm going to do my transport weekly/dailes because in my opinion, it's fastest and easier that way.
captin1
uh, most people use orel (2-3) for daily/weekly sortie. infinitely more resource efficient with subs
OsuMe65
2-2 is for the "Defeat 5 bosses in World 2" daily quest. Orel is for pretty much everything else.
KinomiCandy
Huh, I must be living in the past then. I barely do my weekly and daily quest anyways, lol. Anyways, who's getting ready for Akatsuki's kai ni? I'm probably going to attempt leveling her up before the maintenance happen, that if I'm not lazy.

still lv. 59 at my base
almost all of her exp are gained from expedition (lol)
almost no sortie and PvP, if i remember last time she's going out for sortie is for akatsuki-class quest to 1-5
CXu
Akatsuki still sitting at lvl 1 at my base :D

Meh, too many kai ni DD's around ;; Currently working on getting kisaragi k2, and depending on how akatsuki looks I'll either level her or fubuki. Also spedning my time leveling Bismarck, Littorio, Roma, Akitsushima, Katsuragi, Zuikaku and Shoukaku right now ;;

The hard life of a ttk.

And for some reason I-168's torpedoes won't hit anything in my fleet.
CXu
Not sure what you mean. That your imuya won't hit enemy fleets with torpedo, or that someone with imuya in pvp won't hit you?

Anyhow, remember that subs will only shoot pre-torpedoes after reaching lvl 10 (or equipped with ko-hyoteki), and won't shoot at the end if chuuha. And even if they shoot, they can still miss.

Her pre-torpedoes keep missing enemy fleets and I don't remember when was the last time she hit someone during night battle. Post-shelling torpedoes is okay though. Probably just RNG. Or some stats related to accuracy that I don't know about.

Accidentally found this on youtube

After praying RNG-goddess and a few days of powerleveling, I'm ready for the Akatsuki kai ni.

Dem buckets tho

I had more. Blame the event.

Wow I've never seen someone at your level with that many resources.
Xytox
He's too busy with doing the lottery all the time that he doesn't actually have time to level or spend his resources outside of events. :^)

dont LSC if you want to save resources :^)

i'm lazy so i'll keep my lady at 65, i'll just level her a bit more after maintenance if needed
Kitsunemimi
This post is a bit late, but as some of you may (or probably don't) know, Anime North happened last weekend!
There were a lot of cosplayers this time around, although it kind of felt like KanColle cosplayers were scarce, at least for the first day. Things became a lot more interesting on the second day though, with the unofficial Kantai Collection photo shoot(s)~ I just thought I'd share some of the pictures here.

Oh by the way, I was also wearing cosplay throughout the event. I already have a really big post with lots of pictures though, so I won't be posting those here; just check out that post if you're interested. please look i put so much effort into that costume ;___;
The cosplay stuff starts in the second half after the divider.

Anyways, here are some general pictures~
SPOILER




It's the three Tenryuu musketeers~


I don't know how she does it, but this Haruna's smile is ridiculously adorable.





A closer look at the Rensouhou-chan.

In addition to these, I took a bunch of pictures of the Yamato. It's definitely one of the most epic cosplays I've seen, so I hope you enjoy these pictures that I shoddily took with my cellphone
SPOILER

This Yamato definitely looks prettier while sitting down~








Her rigging is actually extremely heavy, so I'd imagine it was actually really hard to bend down even slightly like that.


....Well, that was a really random post. Hope you don't mind. You can resume your regular gameplay discussion, I'll just... be around.
captin1
bummer i missed the kc meetup stuff, but i was so busy hanging out with people that i've known from osu for years so was a fair tradeoff. hope i'll make it next year!

If you're talking about the English stuff, then yeah I put a bit of time modding stuff because I'm bored.

Juuryoushin
Here is a question that tickles me, how & when do you do your EOs ? (slowly to avoid buckets ? rushing it asap ?)
captin1
i rush them when i feel like playing the game actively for a couple hours usually
CXu
I do them whenever I remember (rushing I guess), or I forget and it becomes the 31st and I try to finish 3-5 and the reset happens while I'm on my final kill and I rip.
Kurogamii
1-5 ~ 3-5 rushing ASAP
5-5 1~2 kill per day

and my first 5-5
DestinySonata
I do mine the weekend after reset, since I can't play during work.
Juuryoushin
Kako Kai-2 ... ?

Too bad, the 2 latest Kai-2 don't attire me anyway.

Since I spend a lot of time in the game, I broke my wallet and threw away 13k jpy from it. (more or less ~93€ when converted to the right currency)
90 slots and 4 keys, yep.
DestinySonata
Speaking of slots, which is the most wallet-friendly way (besides credit card, since I don't have one) to get more slots? Webmoney seems very expensive.

Unless that's the only way besides credit card ;w;
captin1
credit card really is the best way to go, not sure how you would even pay otherwise cause how are you gonna buy webmoney without it anyways?
Synchrostar
you can use paypal to buy some code to get webmoney or something...
at least that's how i did it cuz i dont have a credit card. a tad more expensive but yeah, not many other options for me so p worth imo
DestinySonata
I guess I'll go with webmoney then. Really need 'em slots for all the ships.
Synchrostar
god bless 3-5

80 buckets, 3 kills
CXu
That's a lot of buckets. What fleet are you using on 3-5? It's a bit of a pain, but it shouldn't take you that many buckets from my experience. Also, unless you won't be able to play the rest of the month, there's no reason to rush it anyway.

Also, I spent 10k yen last summer when DMM had this promotion thing, so I got 15k points for it. That was great xd.
captin1
3-5 south route is bs. i don't know why people say it's the better route cause i get rekt way too much on it. i'll be taking north route this month lol. i think the higher resource drain is worth not losing half my buckets
kanpakyin
I am trying to fight for 5-5 this month lol first time.
DestinySonata

Jinxy
3-5 North has the equivalent of 2 pre-boss nodes (Wo Kai + Hoppo) which can be stupidly damaging even with AACI and AS+.

3-5 South doesn't have to be bucket-intensive, 4h waits to reduce bucket consumption by 2 to 4 are perfectly acceptable considering you have 30 days to do it. On the other hand, if one heavy ship gets hit to red, that's an immediate bucket because the alternative is 12h-16h of repairs

If your entire light ship fleet can get hit to red and you need 6 buckets per run, then your light ships a shit. I accidentally sent out an unequipped Jintsuu for the 3-5 final kill and still got it :V

Go for firepower DDs, goal is to deal as much damage as possible to mitigate closing torp damage. CI DDs aren't necessary to sink Tsu-class

And 5-5 is a good thrill as long one is patient and doesn't burn out by doing too many 5-5 runs a day. Max sparkle once or twice a day, for 3 to 6 runs a day. Beat it within like 8 runs this month.
Synchrostar
i used 40 buckets on south route and i got 2 kills
i used like 6 on northern one and got the third, but the final one is trolling me so hard
3BB3SS works pretty decently for me, it's just whenever one BB gets to yellow in the first two nodes, every subsequent attack gets focused on her ._.

im trying to rush through it cuz i just want to get this over with, also want to try and clear 5-3 in the second half of the month
edit: fuck 3-5, ill do it at the end of the month. 5-3 can wait
DestinySonata
I did another two attempts for Bismarck (15th and 16th attempt) using 5/6/7/3 20 and all that came out was Yamashiro and Haruna, respectively.

RNG pls ;w;
Juuryoushin


I don't think that I need such a high amount of res if my bucket count can't handle the next event. Maybe I should just level some ships or LSC....

3-5 south and 2-5 north work out a lot better if you sparkle and have higher level ships. I find that when you're lower level, the performance of your ships are too inconsistent to get decent results, but if your destroyers are around that level 70-80 mark, then you should be just fine.

...Of course, things are still really inconsistent... I still find 3-5 to be really frustrating at times (took me like 10-12 attempts or something this month), but ultimately you use far less resources and it doesn't require that many more buckets.
kanpakyin
D: That 4-5...
Juuryoushin
Kako so badass aaaaaaaaaah, finally I care about this.

Now, lets try 4-5 guys, post your comps or wait till you have enough info.... It's up to you.

EDIT: Okay, never go south, take the middle route instead, it's fucking cancer otherwise.

CXu
Damn, Kako got Kakoii (I'm sorry.) I've been planning to lvl Kako for a while already, since I really like Furutaka, so her becoming badass gives me a good reason to lvl her now. She's been sitting around lvl 19 since forever.

Also 4-5:

Only Yamagumo and Shioi left!
KinomiCandy
Got airport to kai ni. Going to turn Kako to Kakkoii soon. 8-)

thanks cxu

Juuryoushin
Geez, too many CAs to level ....
Grats for your drop, CXu !

On my side, I barely managed to score the final kill on that shit.
DestinySonata
It's my first time doing 3-5, and I'm already annoyed by it. (South route)
Doing the 1CL/5DD composition, I've only managed to get to the boss once in 7 runs.

I'm finding it really hard to pass the first two nodes, there's usually one DD that goes taiha there. The DDs equips 2 x 12.7cm + 1 radar, while the CL equips 2 x 15.5 cm + seaplane and all kai ni (66+).
Is there something I'm missing or do I just have bad luck?

EDIT: cleared it in 15 runs, pure rng torture.
Synchrostar


well that was easier than i thought
only used like 20 buckets
on to 5-4
