oo grats on isokaze! i don't know the pain of summer al/mi but i bet getting her is meaningful for those who did go through it
makes me wonder what sort of nightmare they have planned for summer this year D:
sad that there's no akizuki this event though, hope they make her available sometime soon
As someone who got through that ridiculous stage, let me describe how it feels:
The first node you will encounter a line ahead Ta-class. Ta-class is known for accuracy, and being in line ahead boosts its firepower which it lacks (Double Line Ru and Single Line Ta is the way to remember it). You should be glad to make it out in one piece. 40% of chance of getting rekt first point.
Second node has submarines, you can either go lucky and get yourself a line abreast or a diagonal. If it's the latter, GG, another chance of getting rekt.
Third node you get a choice: Either a night battle node featuring ships that can wrek you up in a moment's notice, or a battle featuring the CV Hime. I chose CV Hime and let's just say if I can get past her with just 1 orange, I'm more than happy.
Then comes the fucking boss node, featuring not 1 but 2 BB Himes. That famous joke of "Kitakami: Which Hime should I go for...how about the 2nd one?" came from here. Some people are lucky and get Kitakami to go after the flagship hime directly, but others like me spend countless hours and days trying to make things work. Had I not have Yamato in my fleet it would have been impossible.
So in the end, when I finally got through E6 just 3 days before the end of the event, I can't describe to you how accomplished I felt. Imagine you just represented USA and won OWC in a Tiebreaker match when the opposing side features rrtyui, Sayo, Hvick, and WWW - you have no idea how you did it, but the mere thought of you having done it is enough to keep you awake and giggling in the middle of the night.
