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)
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:
piruchan
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.
Xytox
After like 150k fuel and 130k ammo spent on E7 alone, we finally did it.
Haskorion
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.
Jinxy
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.
Juuryoushin
@^: 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 ?
Jinxy
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).
domSaur
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.

Kitsunemimi
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.
CXu
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.
Kitsunemimi
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

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?
Jinxy
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
Juuryoushin
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.

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.)

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.

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)
Jinxy
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
Nub1


replace maki with nattsun
piruchan
E-1 normal clear. No Hamakaze in sight.

Notable drop: Kongou, Hiei, Yuubari.

The map is really easy though. Cleared it with only three ships above level 50. 5 / 5 on boss node.
Jinxy
I am legitimately impressed that for the past 5 E3 runs, Shigure will ALWAYS get hit to orange before the boss node

the 5th escort fleet slot is cursed, I tell you

At least I got E3 Hard cleared. All it needed was 80 buckets no biggie
Juuryoushin

Aside from E3 giving me the spank, I have no clue about how the fuck we are supposed to rekt PT babies, they seem to have some sort of extreme evasion values.

Also, no big fucking deal but I worked on editing the Event pages on the Wiki with the mod event team, and we got a fuckload of info in a short amount of time. Mainly the patterns, though.
Jinxy
Operation farmZep begins

Taking a CV fleet for E4 Easy, but there's some sort of (BB+CV+CLT) branching that will make you more likely to fight another node if overshot.

So far using 2 CLT and 2 CV total is sending me west from B which is good. I also put in 2 more CVLs.

Hopefully this tactic sticks for Hard

Fuck this event. The event is EASY, but the thing that kills me slowly is farming for certain ships on E-4. I'm killing myself slowly.
150 buckets and a big amount of resources were spent just for getting Prinz Eugen alone. And i still can't get her until now, and I still haven't got Zeppelin yet.
God.

How's your event going, guys?

EDIT :
Finally got, her. Thank you based god. It took me around 50-60 tries. idk.

2 runs before this, I got Roma. Thank you based god [2]

Meh, no good drop yet. It's not like I was trying really hard though ....


Currently training Kawa, I don't want to suffer from branchings.
Xytox
What's even the point of the armor debuff in this event?

Completed everything hard, got Graf Zeppelin and an accidental Arashi on my first S on E5. Disappointing event in my opinion. The mechanic has potential and could probably be a lot of fun, but it's thrown into the trash when you can just completely neglect it and complete the maps without it.

The Imps though, they are a pretty cool idea as an enemy ALBEIT FRUSTRATING TO DEAL WITH. Why would they not put any on hard E5 final form though lol. Afraid of making the event too hard?

Kitsunemimi
This is my first time making this kind of post, but with time constraints and other work considered, I figured that it would be the best thing to do.
<- my life in general right now

So I'm searching for Mizuho at E3 because I was lazy and didn't feel like doing it last event (already cleared it on med/hard at that point), but all of my ships completely fail the moment they get to the boss node. Does anyone have any tips for consistently S'ing E3's boss (on Easy)? I'm running a standard LHA + 4 DD + CAV // CL + 3DD + 2CAV setup with one cut-in by the way.
Jinxy
one hundred and twenty eight S ranks



Switched back to Surface Fleet because the BB Hime formation has 2x the drop rate of the Wo Kai formation in Easy (click the + beside Graf, compare 1153 vs 2559 as of writing this), and my personal theory is Surface Fleet will see BB Hime more often.

Good luck finding this elusive and honestly pretty crappy CV statwise. I did this for the +FP fighter planes and the future Graf Zwei/Drei

I don't mind an easier event after summer. I think I need to sacrifice more innocent animals though, I've gotten 11 drops as CV's, just not the one I want. I could make an underwater base with the amount of subs I have to throw away.
Kitakami
Spending all of my buckets at the M point of E-4. Clear the event or no, the only thing I want is just Prinz Eugen :(

0.8% drop chance on Easy okay you win this time
Juuryoushin
Now that my main concern is out the way .... It's time to farm for Prinz and maybe Graf.

EDIT:
Pretty good score, better than an average luck, and my resources are still high. I'm done, I'm so fucking done, I avenged my 2014 E3 failure.
My event is over, fuck Graf ;w;
Jinxy
Boop All Hard clear, Yukikaze does the coup de grace on undebuffed DD WOni.

Ha-class LM in node J are pretty annoying though, actually worse than LM Elites because the former TPCIs and the latter only single-attacks in NB


Hot damn I didn't realise I blew that much on Graf farming + E4 clearing. Also, Kashima is an ASW goddess. Single-handedly destroyed Final SS Hime from yellow in the main fleet, after SS Hime left my escort fleet looking like crap (CTF)

I like how I had a net gain most of the resources between E4 and E5 tho

Only thing to go back for is Kazagumo and/or Arashi which I highly doubt I will bother with
