Thanks!

I started the level grind trick on E-4-C with this fleet.
It's pretty insane actually.

You don't have to worry about your ships' level or morale at all as long as you have ASW equipment.
The node has only subs, and there's only one of them who can open with torpedo, and they are in either echelon or line abreast formation every time, so the risk of getting hit is really low. It also only costs about 60-70 fuel each attempt with this whole fleet, and no ammo at all for whatever reason. And another funny side effect is, if everyone in your first fleet one-shot all the subs, your flagship in your second fleet is guaranteed MVP.

The node is like 600exp for flagship and MVP, and it's pretty much as fast and cheap as grinding 1-5-A, except you use 12 ships here instead, and you get two MVPs.
CXu
^ Yeah. I wish I could do that, except I have to find Amatsukaze first...

Edit: AND IT HAPPENED!
CodeS
You guys weren't around for the Summer Event?

I mean you guys are high lvl but without Amatsukaze, I personally prefer Harusame
or Tokitsukaze
Her Idle line kills me every time. I can leave Kancolle open for hours listening to Her voice.

This is my first event, my resources was sucks back then , not to mention there's only a few decently leveled kanmusu.
and i'll be farming those E-2. Hope i can get Amatsukaze, and Ooyodo along the way.

Oh, Ooyodo drops in this event?
That's cool. I got mine on summer event, but because I just recently started playing again I'm just leveling her

Months later I'm still mad that I had to sent my Laptop to warranty right when I was going to give the final blow to E-5 for Unryuu and try E-6 for Kanmusu Saber AKA Isokaze.

I kinda wanna do E-3 of the current event, I love Prinz Eugen (when I was in High school like 10 years ago I did an essay for my Literature class about Battleships of WWll, Prinz Eugen was one of them, along with Yamato, USS Alaska, Hiei and some others.) but I did a few retries last night and they all ended in a ship going red out of nowhere, so I kinda lost the motivation, mostly because I don't have buckets.

Meanwhile I'm exping this by rotating the sub

I started Summer Event around level 30, and I leveled up to over 40 at least, because I remember having to deal with harder enemies at some point.

I was farming E-2 at that time, it was the furthest I could come in the event due to not having a big enough arsenal of boats. I spent my entire event there, but I didn't get her. Admittedly, since I was still relatively new to the game, I didn't have that many buckets, so the farm wasn't going as fast as one would like. It was a couple of runs each day at the highest.

I think i'm gonna grind Yamashiro now... dear

i like how she has one more luck than her sis

Yes I was around during summer event. I cleared E5 and did 72 farm-runs on E5 for Amatsukaze (E2 was a huge pain in the ass and I didn't have a lot of buckets to waste there for the few runs I could get in.)

Basically, she's not as easy to get as you think.

You should see my list for trying to construct i-8, lol. In the end I found her on 3-5, but yeah.
Kitsunemimi
I somehow managed to craft both Goya and Hacchan shortly after I got Imuya, so I think I might've been kind of lucky for that.
... Except it took me until like somewhere around HQ lvl 80 to find my first Imuya... she's ID 775.

...And then after that it wasn't until ship ID 2285 that I finally got Iku.
RNG can be really silly sometimes.

Oh, speaking of RNG, I finally cleared the event just now, and I feel like a massive noob for taking so long to do it (fwiw I started playing near the end of the summer event). Despite how apparently some people managed to clear E-4 with no problems at all, I personally feel that they made it a lot harder than it should've been... at least compared to the other maps. I heard about how the summer event was really inconsistent, but I also think that having the difficulty ramp up so drastically is also pretty irritating. Honestly, the main thing that really just gets me is the fact that there's no level scaling. It's like they forgot completely. But whatever I guess.

Oh yeah, and the drops. Heh. Best drops. I did manage to Ooyodo and a rare DD while I was clearing E-2 though, so I suppose I did manage to get something out of it.
Xytox
Yeah, there were theories about there being a level scale at 99+, but doesn't seem like it if you ask me.

The final mission IS irritating to deal with, no doubt about that. But I think the devs aim for that kind of thing. The last mission always seem to be one for the more experienced admirals; something that shouldn't be passed by just anyone trying it. A final struggle for those who are yet not satisfied and wants to try something harder and put their big boats to test. I like to compare it to the Extra stages you can find in Touhou.

It ends up being kinda stupid though when it comes to KanColle. Since RNG is kind of the main point in this game for pretty much everything, difficulty doesn't really make things more difficult per se, it more just decides how much you gotta brute force your way through before passing the map.

The harder it is, the more luck you need. The boats you have doesn't really seem to matter in the end as long as they're a decent level and of the right type, which is kinda dumb I think. A level 70 boat could surely perform just as well as one over level 100.
Jinxy
Tackling 5-3 now with Akitsu/2CA/CAV/2DD. First run went hilariously smoothly (CDIK). Second run, not so much. Turns out Echelon subs can still cut in accurately despite shit normal torpedo accuracy

I started doing this too and on my third sortie I got node B for some reason ;w;

I've got 2 CA, 4 DD + 1 CL, 2 DD, 1 CAV, and 2 CVL... maybe I need that second CA in the second fleet.

I find it pretty funny that it only uses fuel though. I think it's great since I feel that my ammo's been depleted by way too much this event. Now I'll have a bit of spare ammo to try some 46cm crafting.

EDIT: OMG I just went B again. Seems like you'll actually be needing the CLT.

EDIT2: I still managed to get B once after like 10 runs, but it's not that frequent so it's alright I guess.
CXu
I know 2CA 4DD + 1CL 1CLT 2DD 2CA works 100% to node C on E4, but I'm not sure what the exact requirements are tbh. As far as I know, the more light ships you have in your second fleet, the higher the chance is to go to B instead of C, so it might just be that you need 2 non-light ships in your second fleet.

As for E4 being difficult. I dunno, it still felt considerably easier than AL last event for me, but that might've been because I was more prepared this time, or just because summer event was the first event for me. Tbh though, I was actually expecting every map of the event to be closer to how E4 was in terms of difficulty, so overall the event "wasn't frustrating enough" I guess, haha.

Best of luck.
I've done...I don't know how many tries for Musashi already. The result is 7 Yamatos and counting (no I'm not joking. I have the 46cm and water scouts to prove it). May the RNG be in ever in your favor...

She is pretty hard to get, especially because the BB formula will put her into contest with a bunch of other ships.
However, I'd recommend you to use 4/6/7/2 1. My friend in China is running a Kancolle VPN and he collects data through the users when they do LSC. From his pool of results, 4/6/7/2 1 yields 5.2104% (104 out of 1996 attempts). However 4/4/4/2 1 is not a popular recipe (at least in China) and so he doesn't have the results for that. However 4/6/7/2 1 has the best turnout rate thus far.

Those are just hours with greater activity. It's a Chinese VPN, so the peaks occur during times that people are most free.
At first it was set to my own timezone, so I was expecting the peak of crafting to occur an hour or two after the daily reset, but then I remembered the time zone for the VPN users and realized that it happens at around 3-5 AM for them.

EDIT: I just realized that this is my 5th post on this page.

That is the time when the given ship emerges through construction. The numbers for each time slot are tallied and presented. I wouldn't say it matters as this is one of those "Metaphysics Parameters" for people who believe in urban myths.

And personal note on storing up bauxite:
1. Avoid LSCs - it's either LSC or Bauxite, one of them
2. Avoid sending out carrier-based ships
3. Quests can generate about 1500+ Bauxite per day
4. 15 is your friend

Final kill is a bitch, yeah
If that gives you a harder time, try a large ship-build
I use Kongou Sisters (Fast BBs) + 2 CVs. It's pretty consistent in terms of performance, only downside is that Southern route has a 30% chance of guttering. Aside from that, nothing major. I finish daytime on boss node every time.

And also, whoever said "Zuikaku is the CV of Luck" can go to hell

Juuryoushin
Wow, isn't Zuikaku supposed to be sunk/damaged at her last battle ? :') (Leyte Gulf pls)

I use Kongou Sisters (Fast BBs) + 2 CVs. It's pretty consistent in terms of performance, only downside is that Southern route has a 30% chance of guttering. Aside from that, nothing major. I finish daytime on boss node every time.
I never tried the heavy fleet setting, mainly because of my scare against random crits. (also B > E > I > L instead of B > E > H > L)
I find the medium sized fleet much more reliable since you get god-like firepower at night for the boss and a reasonable resource feedback (e.g, no buckets use) if you don't rush the whole stage in one day. The LoS requirement is no longer a problem when you have 2 Saiuns and 2 Recon Planes also.
That E node though .... The golden Ru looks like she has the "You shall not pass" aura each time she attacks you.

Weren't you having problems with the final clear because you don't have enough firepower to take down the boss reliably?

People use 4 fBB 2 CV because it's more reliable, even though it costs more resources. It may seem a bit risky at first, but once you level up your ships a bit, 2-5 actually becomes rather easy with 4 fBB 2 CV, even at HQ 100+ I'd imagine. Even if you get bad luck and one of your ships gets hurt, you'll ultimately only need to put in a few buckets to be able to clear 2-5.

It does help to have high levelled ships though, and also Kongou class BB is useful in a lot of situations, so I'd recommend levelling them up between now and the next month.
