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..

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

Hype.
or i'll just start saving resources/buckets for next event
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.
First attempt on LSC since forever. 
wowowowowowowowowow
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 ;_;

uh, most people use orel (2-3) for daily/weekly sortie. infinitely more resource efficient with subs
2-2 is for the "Defeat 5 bosses in World 2" daily quest. Orel is for pretty much everything else.
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 baseKinomiCandy wrote:

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
Akatsuki still sitting at lvl 1 at my base 
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 ;;

And for some reason I-168's torpedoes won't hit anything in my fleet.
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.

I'm not a player of the warships being turned into moe buuuut,
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.CXu wrote:

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.
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 :^)

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~
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
....Well, that was a really random post. Hope you don't mind. You can resume your regular gameplay discussion, I'll just... be around.

Here is a question that tickles me, how & when do you do your EOs ? (slowly to avoid buckets ? rushing it asap ?)
i rush them when i feel like playing the game actively for a couple hours usually
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.
1-5 ~ 3-5 rushing ASAP
5-5 1~2 kill per day
and my first 5-5

I do mine the weekend after reset, since I can't play during work.
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.

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;

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?
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

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.

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
I am trying to fight for 5-5 this month lol first time.

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.

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

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.

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.captin1 wrote:

...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.

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.

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.

Only Yamagumo and Shioi left!

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.

from now, better than too late I guess xDJugment wrote:

Focus on getting 2-3 of every ship type in the game (preferrably more for some types like bb or cv), and leveling them to a decent level. In general, starting to save resources around when it's announced, or a little before should be fine, especially if your ships are ready, since you'llsave a lot of resources (and sanity) by not having your ships rekt or shiplocked.
As for buckets, you can just keep doing exp. 2 for them, and you'll have a decent amount by the event. Also having a lot of resources wont help if your ships are underleveled, so def. Focus on that.

I didnt know about exp 2, thanks CXu
<-gathering all the buckets from dailies, lol.
<-gathering all the buckets from dailies, lol.
If you're in need of buckets, say, during an event, you can use exp. 4 as well, but just running exp 2 will give you an average of 1 bucket every hour, so yeah.
Wow, I didn't know there's kancolle thread here ;_;
I'm trying to complete 5-3 btw, what's the best composition for clearing the map? I've got the first kill with 2FBB 2CA 2DD. Is that strong enough for the last kill? (FBB and CA using the double attack setup btw)

How to grind your DD/CL? Also what's the best composition for it? You know, sometimes 4-3 is quite a pain in the ass.
If you're above hq lvl 80, probably 4-3, or bringing them along on 3-2 while leveling a BB for them to leech.
For 4-3 I use Flag DD/CL, BB, 2CVL, 2CLT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_IQMxUc340

How far are you guys in with the sortie worlds? I've hit a wall at 5-3 and pretty much gave up on trying to overcome this horrifying map.
I'm still in 4-4, nothing's really compelling me to go to world 5 (although I'm slowly completing 4-4 to get to 5-1, then off to 4-5)
right now anyway.
right now anyway.
Only 5-5 thay I haven't tried or cleared. Spending all my rsc on lsc ;;
5-3 first kill. I haven't made any progress since the last post on this thread, lol.
EDIT :
I got Bismarck today holy shit ;;__;;
First try today, 4/6/7/2/20
I couldn't be happier; thank you based RNG

So there's a few days left, and I just unlocked 4-5.
First run: "Oh, instant boss node, boss rekt, that was a good run."
Second run: "Taiha pre-boss node (J), oh well."
Third run: "Oh, another boss node, boss rekt again."
Fourth - Tenth run: "Let's all get taiha'd in the first node or preboss node."
I thought the map was going to be quite easy because the first two kills came pretty quick. 30 buckets in, around 5k rsc used and still in my third kill.
This is what my fleet is:
First run: "Oh, instant boss node, boss rekt, that was a good run."
Second run: "Taiha pre-boss node (J), oh well."
Third run: "Oh, another boss node, boss rekt again."
Fourth - Tenth run: "Let's all get taiha'd in the first node or preboss node."
I thought the map was going to be quite easy because the first two kills came pretty quick. 30 buckets in, around 5k rsc used and still in my third kill.
This is what my fleet is:
- Bismarck - 2 x 38cm / Ar196K / Type 3
- Myoukou - 2 x 20.3(2) / Seaplane / Type 3
- Maya - 20.3(2) / 25mm concentrated / Type 91 AAFD / 12.7cm HA
- Haguro - 2 x 20.3(2) / Seaplane / Type 3
- Hiryuu - Type 21 (skilled) / Type 99 (egusa) / Shiden Kai 2 / Type 2 Recon
- Kaga - Shiden Kai 2 / Reppuu / Reppuu / Type 21 (skilled)
I went with 2FBB 2CAV 1CA 1CV for 4-5, which worked fairly well. Stacking Reppuu 601 and Reppuu's on Kaga and the CAVs made me barely get AS on bossnode, and even though she can't attack, having that extra FBB worked out pretty well. The final kill was a bit of a lucky run for me though, so I'll have to see if I'm gonna change my fleet up for the final kill next month. + It could be that I was just lucky overall. Having CAV will also prevent you from getting a D on the submarine node. The AP Shell on Italia is mostly for her to have enough power to sink as much fodder as possible on boss node.
One of my problems is that I only have 1 CAV (Mogami) and I don't have enough medals for Chikuma and Tone, so I'm forced to bring 2CV. And my Kaga only packs around 170 AS, which is much lower than what I need for the boss node.
I feel like I'm screwed this time around.
I feel like I'm screwed this time around.
Have you tried 4BB 2CV? (or something like that, I forgot). From what I've heard the night battle node and the node afterwards isn't too much of a pain.
You need to meet the LoS requirement to get to the boss, which is like 28 or something for the hardest difficulty according to the wiki.
well I guess I really need to hunt a radar..
As long as you reach 3 ships while counting BB(V)s/CVs/CLTs, you will go to B from the start and then be allowed to take the southern route. (E > H > M)CXu wrote:

Personally, I would recommend that only if you are on your way to the final kill. With your fleet resources at 60%, you are still at full power.
The night battle node only has BRS as the most dangerous nuker. The preboss is set on diamond formation, which cripples the enemy's accuracy. 2 Ru kai can still beat you hard without luck.
When taking this way I managed to pull off that kill (and even reach the boss) much more easily than on my other tries by choosing the middle route.
It's all about RNG, always.
^If he's having problems getting to the boss, so trying other compositions is good to see if he gets a higher encounter rate
I didn't know 4BB/2CV was allowed welp
I'll try that, it looks like a better alternative.
