I'm going to tackle E-6 right away. Things were smooth on my side thanks to RNG. Here is what I used at the moment, assuming your fleet is big enough to allow that:

My ship schedule ! (yo E-6 is false yo)

E-1: Bring Kikuzuki for laughs & branchings. (A-D-Z route, 1 battle, 1 rsc node.) Support fleet if needed/if you want the easiest sortie possible.

E-2: 2 BB/2 CA(V)/2 CVL + 3 DD/1 CL/2 CA (A-B-E-G-Z route, 4 battles including a sub one) works rather well. Given you literally have no enemy carriers on this route, load bombers on the way and wreck everything. Hard last dance can be tricky, but nothing impossible.

E-3: Bullshit map. Medium has the Hard enemy comp as last dance. (2 CV Onis escorting the boss) 2 BB/2 CV/2 CVL/ + 1 luck DD + Akizuki, Maya, Kitakami, 1 CL and another DD can do the work. (A-C-E-H-Z route, 3 battles including an aerial exchange node) It's RNG heavy here so don't hesitate to go full support fleets to help you out.

E-4: Cleared it in Easy. Medium was already too bullshit (yet less sanity draining due to rsc loss being way less hard on you). Kongou+Haruna or Kirishima+Hiei/ 2 DD/1 CVL full Reppuu/1 CA(V) can make it.
Ta double line becomes Ri double line, and double red-glowing Takoyaki wo become double weak elite wo. Big difference between medium and easy.
Go to yasen nodes for final since it becomes slightly easier. Don't forget support, it can easily bring down 2 or 3 ships. (they are rather weak)
B-D-F-H-Z route prefinal and B-D-E-G-Z route final.

E-5: Far, FAR easier than the 2 last ones. Akitsushima/3 CA(V)/1 DD/1 CV can easily make it, you don't even need BBs. This comp is thus rather cheap to deploy and can be spammed for farming. (ROMA/YUU DROP HERE APPRENTLY SO YES..... FARM THIS MAP)

E6/E7: CLTs are banned from E6, you will go to a dead end right away if you have one. I don't know about E7 however.
It's been rumored that killing Wo Kais and Installation boss in the same map before facing AD Princess can lower her armor.

So far I can tell that E-3 and E-4 are complete hell and should be avoided in higher difficulties if you don't want to waste too many buckets for nothing. Rewards aren't that great compared to the stuff we had in Spring. (No BP ships it seems this time)

Hope it helps.

If I don't get Tokitsukaze before this event ends Im gonna be really sad

E3 Hard Final doesn't look different, but in reality AV Hime as been buffed by quite a lot including +20 armor

I'm 80% sure clearing E3-X weakens her armor, too. Went from scratching her in the day to being able to knock her to Orange, after I cleared E3-X 3-4 times.

In E4 now, but I'm farming Easy for Umikaze and Akashi. Maybe Kiyoshimo too

I forgot I also needed Takanami. That didn't take long at all, 24 S ranks for the trio.

Around 8k Fuel/Ammo, 6k Steel, 37 buckets.

Sidenote: E-7 IS FUCKING STUPID.

That is all.

.

I've been at E7 hard for about 24 hours now, and I'm at a loss of what to do. Entire fleet 90+, sparkle everyone, use both expeditions. I've wasted about 30k fuel and ammo for a measly two and a half kill. Sub node oneshots me, map sends me the wrong way. It's just a big mess of RNG. Like what am I supposed to do? I see people completing this map within a day, and they say it was "tricky". Am I really unlucky or what lol? I've made it to the boss probably about 5% of my runs and I just don't understand how to handle this amount of RNG.

There are many useful informations to weaken the E7 boss (and maybe lead you to the boss too) now:

From the official twitter we know that there are some ways to weaken the boss, and the effect will be reset at 0:00 UTC+9 every day.

From the further test, we're quite sure that getting a number of S-wins on K,X,Y (or C,K,X,Y) points on E7 can lower the armor of boss on the server side or other effect to help you to take impactful damage to boss.

It seems like before C,K,X,Y points are killed enough times, the routine is random, so if you are going to the wrong way, just treat C,K,X,Y points as boss nodes and kill all enemies. After many runs, the routine is going to be certain (E-G-J-M-Z). Make sure you clear these nodes in a day of Japanese time or the effect will be reset.

I'm collecting resources and will go to FS a couple of days before the event ends, and good luck everyone who are still struggling on this fucking hard event.

Carrier goes center 70% of the time which is preferable
Surface goes south 70% of the time which isn't good, but Akitsumaru guarantees D -> H it seems

And yes clear K X Y a few times it's the only way to pierce her armor, her natural armor is above the fucking NB battle cap

Also >using a BB that isn't Bismarck in the escort fleet

Fuck this event

I can't defeat the boss at E3 even Easy

I only plan to finish E-2 and farm from there, I was highly unprepared for this event to start lol

After a few unclean chips, I finally S-ranked the E4 Hard Boss for the first time. Node Support > Boss Support



this reward tho

Thanks for helping out, now I can wait since the reset will come soon ...
I managed to get a clean kill but that's all, the boss bar exactly is at 69% (657/2040, I keep every screen of damage I did to the boss.)

laughing right now

after 50+ runs of E-1 shes mine

After losing hopes on events, i use all of my bauxite by Large ship construction, another hoteru eh....

I managed to get to final kill on hard before I went to bed yesterday, but my resources are pretty bad. So I stopped playing and started collecting, hoping that one final push at the end of the event will be enough to complete it.



Even if I actually didn't do 8 damage, it's pretty funny to think I did considering her armor.
(Also kudos to my level 96 Bismarck whom I STILL don't have a blueprint for Drei)

Got my final EZ kill after 450+ buckets and a hell lot of rsc spent in that shit. I regret nothing, really. Gonna make a huge collect and do nothing for a moment tho :3/



That should be her main theme, JUST LOOK AT THE LYRICS !!!

E-6 is expensive holy damn

Lvl 70 here, I remember having to wake up at 4:00 AM for the lottery but yea I wanted to try it out and I'm proud to say that I have Yamato, Musashi, Nagato and Mutsu plus some others

For E6 Hard final kill, I tried my luck and chose not to take node support because my 3rd fleet was in tokyo express.

Met Wo Kai

Oranges 2 of my main fleet ships and doesn't red anyone

Proceed to boss node with boss support and stomp it so hard the only thing alive pre-NB is CV Hime

Whee!


E1-E6 Hard clear, E7 Hard? come at me bro

If you guys haven't already, use http://aircalc.net/ to find the most optimal plane setups since it supports the new plane mechanic. Double chevron on greens is a flat +25 air power boost so putting them on small slots are actually better now. Leave the bigger slots for bombers so they don't get wiped out by Tsu-class nearly every time and can contribute to good damage. I managed to bring 5 slots of bombers total for E6 (3 CVs), and every one of them were >20 slots. Still managed to AS on air node and AS+ on boss node

I'm done with this event. Going to rest them shipgirls for a few days. Notable drop: Yukikaze, Takanami.

Quick question, which map should I farm? E-1 or E-4?

Depends on who you want to get. For the matter, Akashi drops in E-4 C, regardless the difficulty.

~0.286%. It's a good timewaster if you're done with the event but I'm pretty sure you have a higher probability of clearing E7 Easy by ramming through it compared to getting one Akashi from E4

real shit starts now
okay, so, i dont really understand about that node X, Y thingy

how much kills are needed to weaken the boss' armor per day? 1?
how do i get to node X or Y?
also, CTF or STF?

god, i tried to read the thread on the wiki but i still just can't get it, smh

Nice bait from the devs though.

It's been verified that killing X and Y flagships lowers AD Hime's armor. K also does, to a lesser extent. C remains questionable, some people believed it works. It resets everyday at 0:00 JST. Also known as the dark hour.

Only 1 kill is apparently needed, but once again people speculate that killing them several times can lower her armor even more (and this time, the displayed value wouldn't be the same as the real one.)

About how to get to those nodes.... ha, hahaha, HAHAHAHAHA, you'll see them enough anyways, the routing is freaking random all over the place. The only known branching is from D to H, which guarantees this by having Akitsumaru in your Main fleet.

CTF has better chances to reach the boss since it has higher chance to go E from the start, but beware, you'll be facing a double Wo Kai in Diamond/Double Line in M Preboss.
STF has better chances of killing the boss. Unfortunately, routing issues are a bit worse than CTF. You'll be facing a BB Hime as L Preboss with this fleet.
Both types can deviate to Y instead of going to preboss as well.

As additional information, don't even think about CLTs, they will lead you to the C dead end.

Don't lose too much sanity.

E-4 was such ass. Glad to finally be past that ._.

10 runs all failures with sparkles and 1 clean final kill with no sparkles. RNG-sama please.

Grats, how many midboss nodes did you kill? Any C or L kills?

Stuck on E7 Hard last kill, with no Abukuma Kai Ni because she's only lv50 currently. I've decided to wager Teruzuki on this, if I fail to clear Hard, then I fail to clear E7. Simple as that.

I went to watch an anime while waiting for morale regen after yet another B derail.

I really enjoyed it, then I realised I wasn't enjoying doing E7 Hard at all. I want to move on, and actually play some other aspects of Kancolle (farming, grinding, doing a variety of maps etcetc) instead of constantly having to wait for morale after failed runs.

So E7 Easy it is. Haha.

I killed boss on X and Y node 3 times both then start to kill the boss, and when I go the south routine I killed Harbour Princess then go home (I used CTF and it may go B-X-D-F-... on about 25% chance) when I finish e-7 I killed: X - 7 times, Y - 3 times, C and L - no.

Abukuma is not a must, Jintsuu or other Sendai Class Kai Ni is okay too, even Kuma Kai with high level is also fine, but you may need to take some kanmusus who can Cut-In on night combat. I didn't spend a maruyu on my Abukuma before so that hit was just a surprise.

Both expeditions are needed! Don't hesitate to spend resources on them or you will spend more

you literally only need 79 air power to get AS+ on Hard (idk about easier), one on the 18 and one on the 7 should be enough assuming << reppus

Put the BBs more forward, and the DD/CA near the back to snipe in NB. CV on last slot because she can't NB.

everything else should be fine though I do question the use of the 381mm non-kai since they debuff accuracy, maybe use 35.6 or 41cms instead

If all else fails, bring node or boss support

Guys, I finally did it.

The summoning ritual has been a success.


The number that you see in the calculator on the right of my screen is a counter for the number of S-ranks I've gotten on E4. That's right, it took me 100 S-ranks before she finally showed up for me. I wasn't actually expecting it to happen exactly on the 100th clear, but, I'm glad it didn't take longer.

In the process I've gotten 3 Kiyoshimo's, 4 Maikaze's, 4 Yukikaze's, 2 Yuugumo's, 3 Makigumo's, probably 3 Hayashimo's, probably 2 Kinugasa's, and 3 Takanami's. To those who wish to embark the search for this elusive girl, I wish you luck.

I assume you're going to go all the way and marry her as a main waifu too because I can't see any other reason why someone would be desperate enough to do this


Unless you're purposely looking to elicit the above reaction then my reply is i got her in 24 runs

Anyone tried farming on E-5 node G?

I unlocked the map for fun but I don't know if I should clear it or just farm for shipgirls. So far I only got Suzuya and Kumano from farming in E-1 boss node.

I think I completly gave up on the game one of the thigs that relly annoyed me was that I always had to select the quest/mission each day with a max of 5 at one time.
Idk if i'm just stupid or it's different now, but having to select every quest and having it be a max of 5 made it just a hassle to play for me.

just farm buckets for a day or 2-3

Wat is a bit low bucket count anyway? :^)

any tips to defeat 2 princesses in boss node in E-7? I got Chuuha'ed and Taiha'ed almost all of my fleets.... please don't tell me if I have to use high luck DD, because I haven't level up them yet orz

2BB + 3CV + 1 CVL , 2DD + 1CL + 2CA + 1FBB <- is this a recommended composition fleets?

EDIT : I use Easy diff, not Hard wwww

Have you killed the minibosses in X and Y yet? They debuff the boss armor and the debuff resets every midnight JST. General consensus is 3X and 3Y S ranks minimum

And by 2 princesses I hope you mean AA Hime + BB Hime and not E7 Hard Final with 1 AA Hime + 2 BB Hime because why the fuck do you not have high luck DDs at this point if you're playing on Hard

I did a small scale summoning ritual by using a picture of Yukikaze and Tokitsukaze as wallpaper. The "Don't let Yukikaze by herself, Tokitsukaze please appear" project started this morning, and was finished in under 15 sorties.



I got pretty much everything I want from this event except for Umikaze (I'm sorry, I'm not going back to that Airfield Princess).

Project Poi Kai Ni is up next.

Finally cleared E7 (Normal) yesterday:

Didn't have the resources (or sanity for that matter) to do it on Hard

My life's biggest mistake was clearing E3 and E4 on hard before farming. How2farm E4??????

But one of my friend change the difficulty from easy to normal and farm b4 he clear the E3 on hard, it's really hard to farm E3 and E4 on hard...(and the hard's prize sucks)

Thankfully nodes E and G stay as their final form while the boss resets, so I can take that route and save some resources on support expeditions.
Too bad it's still heavily rng with those night battles 13 sorties, 5 boss encounters, 3 S ranks, 2 A ranks, 0 Umikaze ;;

It looks like the numbers have shifted a bit and Umikaze is now more like a 4% drop on Hard (which sometimes tends to have the irony of having lower drop rates for certain ships because it accommodates more rare ships - I guess this isn't a problem for Umikaze). That's still an expected average of 20-25 S-ranks, so hopefully you'll have something else to do at the same time.

Of course it could take as many as 50 S-ranks. Or more. Only time will tell whether the RNG gods will shower you with happiness and Umikaze.

my posts are getting dumber and dumber what am i even doing

More people should exploit pre-clear farming on Easy. It's only fair since the other difficulties are nigh unfarmable bullshit

pragmatism goes a long way

That said, I tried farming E4C Hard for Akashi no.2. Not actually difficult other than echelon sub bullshit, but the drop rates are like 0.1% so I ended up picking up 2 maruyus instead.

Yes. I knew about this and even did it for a while last event. I have no clue why I decided to not do it this time ;;

Still doing the Straight Easy, 0 Bucket Challenge
(where I can only get buckets from performed expeds and dailies.)

Will throw the Flight Deck opportunity tho

With a great majority of people dealing with AD Hime, I can't stop myself and post

I was trying to farm E-5G easy earlier, when I realize 2BB 2DD 1 CAV and 1 SS actually goes through the most favorable route to the boss node(B - E - D - F - I - K - Z). With fuel at 20k, I thought why not and decided to clear the map. It was an easy run, I almost always got to the boss node. At last dance my fleet was sent back 3 or 4 times, all of them on node F because of bullshit damage done by the abyssal cruisers. They would one shot a BB straight into red. I still cleared it at the end though.

Notable drops: I-8, Hyuuga.


I might feed her to other kanmusu.

trying to finish e-5 and wow wtf, are you guys sure this is the easiest.. i haven't completely killed the boss on all my runs so far..

can i haz comp.. Akitsushima's dragging my fleet down way too hard lol,..(added that Shigu, even with a lookout, still won't cut-in)

let's return to Easy mode...

Iirc, you can use 2DD + CAV to go the same route as Akitsushima. 2BB would most likely help a lot as well, and a CV.

It's finally over T_T


Powerleveling Choukai from 1 to 65 was probably the best idea I had all event. Guess I can go back to farming random stuff now.

Or maybe try and get another Umikaze that I accidentally foddered ._.

E7 last dance is suffering

EDIT:

Today was a good day.

I cleared 1-5 (my first extra operation clear without counting E-5), got I-19, and gained enough levels so Yuudachi can epoilution.

After like 150k fuel and 130k ammo spent on E7 alone, we finally did it.

All operations on easy since most ships were rather mid level.

15 runs for Mizuho.

Woah, congratulations. I wish I had enough patience to hard everything.

Those 3 days were a rush towards all EOs, 5-5 included. I learned to tickle Re-chan a bit and eventually passed through 50% of the time. Thanks to Aircraft Proficiency, AS is now bearable. This was my first serious try and therefore very first clear of this map ever.

It's either hard or go home. I will never change difficulty just to be able to complete a map or get a drop. That's why Amagi is not a part of my fleet lmao.

Dude, I even S'd the node somehow. What's even more amazing is the fact that I had Shigure with triple torpedo and Eugen with skilled lookouts ready to cut-in right after Myoukou did her 200 crit on the boss and killed her. It was a pretty good run. Shoukaku decided not to be Chokekaku for once as well and sunk one of the BB himes in day battle with 1 damage to spare.

The part about it all that beats everything though, is the fact that as soon as I switched in Inazuma as boss support flagship, the boss support fleet suddenly sunk all the shit escorts at the bottom every run instantly. She brought the nano death upon them all. I've truly given the ring to the right ship, and even to this day she has yet to disappoint me.

Anyone tried 5-5 this month yet with Proficiency? Been messing about with 2FBB4CV and got 2 kills out of 4-5 tries. Was gonna use 1FBB5CV but one was in long repairs

Been going "all out assault" with as many offensive planes I can stuff + node support. Not too shabby but unfortunately knocking Re Elite to orange or more before she gets her preemp torp is still too difficult.

(Also I'm suspecting event node support might have increased proc rates because I sparkled 4 ships and the proc rate was fucking awful, compared to nearly 80% during the event)

Another alternative might be putting armor on the CVs. I know at least one person who tried that to fairly decent effect.

@^: I just did. I still don't know the accurate calculation yet, but it seems like it adds 25 extra AS for each >> Reppuu you put in. I won't go CVhappyland personally, cause they are way more fragile that way, not to mention that missing kills in day battle pretty much put an end to the current attempt.

Node support had been buffed a bit for like every map, I don't see any other explanation to this high proc rate. (Well, my 2 fleets were permanently sparkled ... So my statement is flawed.)

Even though, isn't it painful to run such an army of carriers ?

I S-ranked the first node before shelling phase happened. Clearing 3+ ships in aerial phase is very possible too.

5 CVs can hold 14 slots of bombers, using 5 slots of fighters and 1 Saiun slot. To be specific in my previous post, I got to boss 2 times and killed her both times, just that I still retreated/compass'd a few other times

Really wishing I could just nuke the Re Elite node too to prevent pre-emp though but doesn't seem likely, so I'll drop a few bombers+saiun for bulges instead


EDIT: oh yeah I haven't been sparkling at all


EDIT2: With sparkles and large bulges:



Went back down to 4CV after I failed a boss kill (Bismarck got hit to orange and couldn't kill Wo at night).

fk, i think im done for the event :c 2days left and im just about to begin e-6 :c

school stuff + the search for Umikaze(which succeeded anyway) made all the delays... stuck to e-4 for like a week lol


edit: and so i realized i have to kill 10 CVs before unlocking e-6.. im rly giving up now lol

07.09.2015, 03:42 - And thus Umikaze became a Myth.

Looks like the odds weren't with you :<

...Though still that's quite a lot of C's... I'm not sure if even I would've went ahead with those losses getting pinned to my record. Good effort for sure though, sometimes it's the thought that counts ;w;

In other random news, I was really tired yesterday and prior to that I had large unavoidable delays. So I ended up beating all of E7 today within the span of about 7 hours.... on Easy.

I finished with about 15 minutes to spare. I also have a stream archive if anyone's curious.

Well, rng just decides to be mean sometimes. The C's are when I have no chance of S after day battle, so I just end the sortie to save ammo.

This is going to be a bit random but I'm not sure if any of you guys saw this so I'll just drop this here.

It was pretty exciting to watch.

Those new CGs are prpr material, I can totally forgive them not giving us Cranes Kai Ni : >

There you go.

did post-event LSC and ayyy....
all that's left is Yahagi oTL

I'm here only for
and then I logged out again, lol

Yesterday I decided to try 3-2, and experience tells me that RNG hates Hibiki and Bucky, so I put repair team on both of them. Then this happen

Hibiki and Fubuki got hit to red in pre-boss, but took absolutely no damage at the boss node. Did I beat RNG? Or was I extremely lucky?

Do your girls except for YKKZ actually do good damage in NB like that? Their low luck means they won't use Cut Ins often, and single torpedo hits are inaccurate from my experience. The usual build for them is 2 guns + 1 aux (AA, Sonar, Radar, etc, NOT main gun or torp) which will allow them to Double Attack 99% of the time, with very good accuracy.

Try and make the switch, they'll do a lot more damage on average except for event bosses with too much armor

I'll add to the stone that CI builds in this map are also pointless since everything is easily one-shottable. There are only light ships on the boss node, nothing else.

So far the girls haven't disappointed me and I got 3 to 4 cut-ins on average. Plus I just like seeing the DDs one shot almost everything at night battle with 350+ damage. Never heard of that build, but I'll keep that in mind.

4/2/5/5.5/20, Cranes as flagship (Zuikaku then Shoukaku on 2nd slot), 41st try.
Now I'll level her to death because she is too cute, goodbye friends

Congrats!

I got her on random LSC without even trying

Hola hola ! The Mackerel hunting season has started ! Are you ready ?

Isokaze is now droppable on 1-5 and some other maps apparently, so, let's do our best.

just got Isokaze from 2-5 boss node <:

Done with the fishing. I got the T4 Sonar and the extra furniture that goes with it.

Nice ! I heard she now falls pretty easily with a bit of persistence.
I feel a bit sad about the people who struggled to get her during AL/MI though ...
