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.

RNG pls ;w;

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 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
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.

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.

South route preboss nodes

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:
4th kill drop

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.

5-4 is pretty easy.

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.

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)

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

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:
  1. Bismarck - 2 x 38cm / Ar196K / Type 3
  2. Myoukou - 2 x 20.3(2) / Seaplane / Type 3
  3. Maya - 20.3(2) / 25mm concentrated / Type 91 AAFD / 12.7cm HA
  4. Haguro - 2 x 20.3(2) / Seaplane / Type 3
  5. Hiryuu - Type 21 (skilled) / Type 99 (egusa) / Shiden Kai 2 / Type 2 Recon
  6. 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.

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.

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)
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.

You must be trolled by the compass maybe. It's known to drive you everywhere else but the boss after the preboss node.... (especially this map, 33% to go to boss or something, since there are 3 possible outcome) Perhaps you're just grinding like Sonata said. If so, you should start trying to seriously go through :p
Just keep trying.

As for the nex content, Oboro finally became a beautiful lady.
Also, 6-3 is out. Another light shit fleet map made up to give you numerous headaches.....

The north route allows a much more solid comp yes. As long as you don't meet BRS, it should go well....
I used to alternate between these two routes, with a preference for the north route on the final kill.
3 CV + 3 CA(V) (including Maya blowing up all planes) works rather well on my side. The only pain being an absurd bauxite cost. (about 300-500, approximately.)

I'm fine with bauxite costs, since I'm under soft-cap and I don't use CVs that much.

And I don't think 300 - 500 bauxite per run is absurd :D

I think I'll go with... Kaga, Akagi, Hiryuu, Maya (AACI), Myoukou and Haguro I guess.

Good news to those who wants to sign up for this game. DMM has finally setup a lottery-free server, so you're free to sign up whenever you want to until the server gets overloaded. Lottery will probably be a thing again when that happens. Other than that, I've recently been powerleveling a lot. Trying to powerlevel CVs now for the Summer event.

tl;dr information tweeted out by people who attended the ongoing KC convention in Japan. Take with grain of salt tho
https://www.reddit.com/r/kancolle/comme ... _kancolle/

E1 and E2 will have locking (shared maybe?)
E3 is Carrier Combined Fleet only
E4 will change as HP bar decreases, latter half will need FBBs (Hiei and Kirishima's historical battle I believe)

New CV mechanic is plane levelling system
