E-1 : very easy map, can clear without much problem with 3CL 3DD or 2CL 4DD (any more CL sends you off course)
Take south route (YOU HAVE A CHOICE WTF), has a very easy sub node and a very easy battle after it, compared to north node with elite/flagship torpedo cruisers
E-2 : not too bad, Carrier Task force so that you can get enough air superiority, ran 3 CV, 1 CAV 2 BB in main fleet and 3 DD 2 CLT 1 CL in escort. Shoot for 200+ AS
Combined fleet type decides route, this one sends you along the lower route and then select up when you're given the choice (first two nodes are non battle).
Fleet command facility got me through a couple rough spots but otherwise smooth clear here as well
Only down about 30-40 buckets from these two, hoping the rest of the event is just as smooth (ha ha)

40 nLoS is enough tho', and night battle equips for boss
I can't believe I didn't enter NB once during the whole of E2
dayum grats. what comps did you run for 5 and 6?
E5: 2BB 2CAV 1SS 1CV, a submarine is used to be a tank in the night battle point to take damage, 応急修理要員 is needed though, I only spend 2 from beginning to end. kirakira is more necessary, it will increase the miss rate a bit.
E6: 2BB 4CV/1CL 2DD 1BB(Bismarck) 2CLT, if you don't have a Bismarck, any CA can replace.
if i didn't misunderstand what "comps" means

Just Finished E-2 Hard and.. am i the only who finished it with a Carrier Task Force C>F>E>G>K? there's like 3 BBs on D and the route i just said only has 3 battles(well, part of why i can't do top route is my CAV sucks and i can't find a good alt for the surface fleet)
i might need to take a few days off as to think of which ship goes on which Map.(stupid shiplocking and stupid underleveled/imbalanced fleet ;w;)

most people i see, including myself, did carrier task force because of the 3 battle route
There's a ss of me doing E2 with carriers right above on this page
Looks to be the same for E4, the recommended is Carrier instead of Surface
E6 post-clear does not use last-kill formation so farming Roma after clearing the event is very much possible

E3 you can choose 2BB2CVL2CLT, I don't use this but I've seen many people said it can still go a A-C-D-E-J routine as the same of 1BB4CA1CVL, maybe use some ca to take the place of bb or clt if you don't have enough bb or clt for the following mapcaptin1 wrote:

if you don't have many experienced CA, then don't use in the 2nd fleet of E4, since this map is pretty pretty easy
E5 mogami & mikuma, or kumano & suzuya can take A(or B)-D-G-H-I-N routine (said by wiki), which has only 2 battle before the boss, I suggest to take one of the two CAV groups if possible, but if they are in the low level, just take your best ca/cav
hope that's not too late
I did E4 just fine with carrier task force, especially after I switched in a FBB to escort (was having trouble with the boss before then)
E3 was pretty easy as expected, ran mostly low level CA's and some DD's with a CL
I knew about the CA requirements for the routing at E5, however I don't have any of those ships leveled at all so there's not much point in trying for it, would rather brave it out with a heavier fleet. CA is the area that I'm weakest in and I'd like to get the event clear out of the way so I can farm what I want to after finals are over.

This was my first event I completed so I'm pretty happy
I went with all Easy though, I wanted to farm for Amatsukaze and Tokitsukaze (300-400 E-1 winter event never forget) after the event and I wasn't really confident in my resources and ship count to attempt the ship locking Normal/Hard. I'll definitely try to do all Hard mode next event.

I finally completed that horrible map after far too many tries and chokes. Aaaaa, it felt good when Ooi did random 200 crit on boss to finish her off.
Finally I've gotten my revenge on her from last event. She will haunt my dreams no more.
I'm still waiting for my turn to have my way with her, gotta bend her over and give her a good pounding
Congrats! Although I have to say that this event is comparatively easier, or at least easier than what we've expected-[Koinuri] wrote:

But it's definitely encouraged to challenge the hardship regardless of the circumstances! Well-fought, soldier!
Cleared E-5, and then spent several hours fighting tooth and nail through E-6 Hard. Currently sitting a little over halfway through it, and it's been quite a rough ride. Gatekeepers are turning me away quite a bit D:
I'll post my comps tomorrow since some help would be appreciated once I'm more awake, need some sleep now through since I did about 9 hours of KC streaming today

Good lord E1-E4 Hard has been so easy so far. I'm 2 kills away from clearing E4 and I have only been retreated once. For all 4 maps. Granted, FCF saved like 4 runs in E2 but still, this has been really easy.
E5 is when it starts getting a little bit annoying, but if you use the submarine strat, it makes the map much simpler since you can easily avoid one of the maelstorms on it. It's even better if you have Mogami and Mikuma, or Suzuya and Kumano in your fleet. Guarantees a route with two battles at most before the boss, and you can also choose path at one point to top it off. Conserving your fuel on that map is the key to passing it, because in worst case scenario, you won't have any left after passing through all the maelstorms and your evasion literally turns to shit when you finally get to boss.
E6 is very easy until final kill. You can use 1CA 2BB 2BBV 1CV / 2CLT 1CL 2DD 1FBB or something along those lines. Having 2BBV (Yamashiro and Fusou kai ni) and 1CV (Kaga stacked with Reppuu) gives you enough AS to go through preboss node without letting the enemy get AS against you, and it's enough for final kill to get AS. If you have the proper equipment, you can even gain AS on preboss with just one CV. It's a really simple map compared to final map in last event, it's just the final kill that is really annoying due to the added carrier that basically just acts as a tank, if she doesn't randomly oneshot your BBs, that is.
All in all, with a proper fleet, the last two maps will only cost you resources and hair on your head. Nothing that can't be completed or needs insane luck.

Hah, she is annoying this event as well, but not as bad as last event. I mean, at least there's aren't TWO carriers escorting her. Good luck to you and thanks lol. The struggle was real. I had at least 10 runs before the kill where boss was left with 40hp or so. One run where Ooi choked completely and only did 40 damage with a doubleattack in nightbattle when there was only 100hp left on boss. She made up for it in the end though, but all those lost resources because of her choke will be written upon her forehead forever.Evrien wrote:

Along with Mogami+Mikuma or Suzuya+Kumano, Choukai+Ryuujou also do the same thing; avoids the air battle node and goes to a fuel resource node instead. Ryuujou can get AS with 2 Reppuu 601 so air power isn't a problem, but she is significantly more flimsy than an actual CV. An additional benefit of using Choukai+Ryuujou means you can bring 3BB instead of 2, assuming the last slot is left for SS damecon tank. The fleet looks like CA/3BB/CVL/SS
contrary to what many has experience with the event.. i've been having quite a hard time from just E-3(pretty imbalanced fleet and i'm kinda trying to reserve my better ones for the next maps).. lost an unreasonable amount of buckets already...
E6 Hard has generally been smooth, feels like they took away CV Hime's aimbot; I get to the boss more often than not compared to Winter 15.
CAV/2BB/2BBV/CV + CL/CA/2CLT/2DD. Escort fleet has Ooyodo, Maya and Akizuki as fixed members. First fleet has enough fighters and seaplanes to get parity on pre-boss node, getting AS with only one CV is simply not possible unless you have Reppu Kai or use a third BBV with even more seaplanes.
F-G-I-M-O. The first and second battles are complete jokes. Don't let the BB Hime on the NB node fool you; her equipment is set-up to do Cut Ins but she has abysmal luck so she does normal attacks more often than not, and she completely sucks at them.
On last kill now but saving that for tomorrow. I don't think there will be a problem, just going to bring boss support and things should be peachy
Also, to maximize AACIs
Conclusion: Akizuki AACIs are inherently stronger than an average DD's AACI, but an average DD's AACI has priority in proccing so it's actually bad to use average DD AACIs. Maya AACIs are the strongest, and also have the highest proc priority.
tldr Conclusion: The best AACI combo is to only use Maya (Main Gun, AA Secondary, 25mmConc, Air Radar) + Akizuki (2x 10cmHAFD, Air Radar).

I was able to get very close to AS with two CVLs and I don't even have Junyou k2, so if you do have her along with Chitose/Chiyoda k2 you might be able to pull it off.
I should probably just pull back and level Maya to k2 before going after E6 again though, but can't do the same as you since I don't have Akizuki ;;
edit: weeeeeeeeeeeee

Finished E-3 as well... who else left to pick for the other two operations :s
edit: oh god E-4 is it even possible to get off the preboss w/o anyone getting taiha'd ;w;

Noooooo I locked Mogami and Suzuya in E3...
And my Chokai is only Lv20

I try The Surface Task Force (4BB2CVL/1CL2DD2CLT1BB) in E6, It is way more stable than the carrier task force, but eats more too xD
Anyway I'm really really happy now, yesterday I developed 5 type 32 RADAR and 2 type 33 RADAR in about 60 tries, today i got amatsukaze and roma in my chinjufu, I'd like to give a long vocation to all my kanmusus

E-6 Aircraft Carrier Hime is really annoying me, sent me back 3 times in a row
Any easier way dealing with her?
Is it easier to bring two CVL to secure AS or just bring one CV to have room for a CA?

Do you have a Maya K2? If yes then personally I went for 1 CV with 2 BBV and 1 CAV to boost air power. The best I can do is parity on preboss but Maya's AACI allows me to go past more often than not, and then I can get AS+ on boss (AS on final ver).DestinySonata wrote:

Otherwise, 2CVL isn't a bad idea to get AS against preboss, I know some people who chose to do that.
Hmm... Since I don't have Maya K2, I guess I'll just go with the 2 CVL thing.Jinxy wrote:
