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

E-4 IS BULLSHIT


This is actually the one and only kill I got

Hayasui feels like a better version of Fubuki

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

Killing boss (before final round)

Hope that helps and welcome to ask me questions

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The jailbait prize

I might feed her to other kanmusu.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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
Luck?

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.

best day of my TTK life

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

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.

And since I already have her ...

Because I can

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 ...

Relax, it's not gonna be as hard as the previous event was.
I fear the "Mid-scale" term however. Last time we heard this, they threw double Dysons at us without warning.
I expect the whole event to be relatively easy except that E5 is likely to be extremely salty for obvious reasons: The e-peen medal.
(E5 as "last map" is almost a given, though I may be wrong here.)

I'm not even done with the actual fishing yet.
Guess there won't be a summoning ritual this time (I'm literally in class right now even).

The same way you set the game to open via API link automatically?

open KancolleViewer.exe CONFIG file using notepad or something, then look for

<setting name="KanColleUrl" serializeAs="String">
         <value>
                <![CDATA[http://www.dmm.com/netgame/social/-/gadgets/=/app_id=854854/]]>
         </value>
</setting>

depending on the version you might not have CDATA

armor reduction mechanic confirmed, claimed to be streamlined and simplified compared to Summer
large foreign ship confirmed, high probability to be a drop ship

it should be much easier than summer because it's supposed to be a smaller scale event, but don't underestimate it

Kinda ready for it.
It's taking its source from a transport-based operation apparently. Given the origin, we may face a hecklot of night battles .... And Mutsuki-class branching rules.

Expeditions. Lots of expeditions. I'm currently standing at 30k/30k/50k/50k.

Which deity should I worship to clear 3-5 this month? I've been on last dance for 10+ sorties. Last month it was an easy run through the north route. Now Hoppou hates me and keeps sending my fleet back. Tried south route, at least two girls got hit to red in the first node every single time.

This page lists some options for 3-5

I consider 3-5 a sparkle map, esp. for South route since you have to face Line Ahead torpedoes (extreme accuracy/damage for your light fleet) and a pretty solid boss.

North is just harder on costs and doesn't arrange anything for me(except for the boss that becomes easy), so I never take it. (maybe I'll hunt for a 2nd Akashi one day)

Lastly, some people have been testing the Hayasui route, which doesn't have a 100% routing. On the other hand, you can bring heavier ships and have much less trouble going to boss. (Hayasui, 1 CAV, 3 CL and 1 AV works fairly well for example)

you can try going 2/3CLT 3/2CV with a SS (equipped with damecon if you want) as a tank
if she gets to at most orange before hoppou node you can use the damecon as a fail-safe if necessary

or you can go 2CLT4CV, blow as many enemies up before shelling phase as possible and hope hoppou is nice (which she generally is)

how goes it

Stomped E1, halfway through E2 (not difficult if you have the branching ships, but pretty tedious with 5-10 runs required)

4 new ships, Arashi, Hagikaze, Graf Zeppelin, Kashima

Graf has shit plane slots and consumption but apparently can NB

Kashima is a useless auxiliary ship only good for her sex appeal, but she is pretty good looking

Kagerou DDs are Kagerou DDs

EDIT: E3 is fucking hard



this battle started with everyone on my side green
