If you're new and think you aren't prepare for the event, you should try to pass at least E-1,You only need destroyers and light crusiers.

Btw I just cleared E-6 (easy)
I didn't get ro-chan tho :c
Will farm for her the last day
also congrats CXu
When you get really into the game, I think most players find events the most fun aspect of KanColle. Unlike the regular maps, no one really knows anything about the event maps at the beginning of the event, and you have a limited time to clear those maps, so the information gathering and testing out different compositions, equipment and discovering branching rules, successful tactics and strategies is really fun. And there is a sense of accomplishment when you clear a hard event as well, so there's that.KuranteMelodii wrote:

If you've only recently begun playing, events might seem a bit hard to get into as a beginner, but even a completely new player should be able to clear E1 and maybe E2 during most events on the easiest difficulty. Of course, just playing the game regularly is fine as well, but you should definitely try and participate in the event, ask people for advice, and trying to complete at least E1. KanColle is a singleplayer game, but the whole information sharing aspect of it makes it a really great game for playing with friends as well (and you can brag about your cool event ships).
It's kinda like playing pokémon without access to the internet, and hearing for the first time from a friend where you can catch mewtwo.
@Dark Accelerator: Congrats!
My dream finally came true
Other notable drops this event
and 5 Ikus
My resources are extremely low now, so I'm not sure if I can handle E-9 the Roma farm.. Probably have to give up and wait for next opportunity
Event ends May 18th, that's over a week from now. with enough resource gathering it's definitely possible to have a shot at roma farm by mid next week/early weekend
More orel cruising then I guess
Let's see how much buckets I can recover before then

Your resources should be pretty good to go for roma farming. Obviously depending on your luck you might need more, but a run costs about 200 fuel/ammo and you'll rarely need to repair anything. You can replace the BB with a CA/CAV to spend less resources as well. (and a command facility thing for that occasional red on node H.)
what the hell is E7? It just only 6 maps in the event
It's usually the farming part, when you cleared all maps but missed one or several ships that are only droppable on these maps.KuranteMelodii wrote:

(I know, fast answer, I was randomly passing by.)
Tried running this a couple of times and I'm surprised I don't get damage at all. The E-5 drained tons of buckets for me so I was expecting this to do the same, I guess having subs really help.CXu wrote:

Your fleet on the video is really easy to use and doesn't eat that much resources, thanks for showing
!And yeah, I just meant all the farming after the event when I said E-7/E-8.
Don't really care for farming Roma, but I'd probably attempt a few times before the event ends. I'm just all about that Akitsushima, sweg.

Fak E-5
Wow nomi you don't even Akitsushima Kai what a noob =w=p
Why? Are you stuck at E5, or is it E6 being mean? If you really want Akitsushima you can always lower the difficulty of the map if you can't seem to do it on medium/hard, as you'll get Akitsushima regardless.OsuMe65 wrote:

>Can't get a boss sink

If I do clear E-5, I can't clear E-6 before the event ends
Are you using sanshiki and the submarine strat? Didn't really have a lot of problems sinking her in general, and the SS made me almost always get a boss encounter. You only need to sink her at her final form anyway, which you can use a boss expedition for.
Yup, the Sanshiki/SS combination is the way to go on that map. Otherwise you'll get a goddamn hard time here.CXu wrote:

Be sure to keep at least either SuzuyaxKumano or MogamixMikuma because it removes one good battle from your path. (That's a weird branching rule I admit)
I don't know what difficulty you did choose, but if it's Easy, just pick your best ships while keeping 2 BB, 2 CA(V), 1 CV and 1 SS.
Also Ryuujou + Choukai, which is what I used because I accidentally locked Suzuya in E3 and Mogami/Mikuma were too low-leveled to be effectiveJuuryoushin wrote:

Does anyone have a decent guide for a beginner ? I found some "guides" that are more FAQs, I learn some basical things like how to repair etc... but not much about what I should start with, atm I'm just doing a sortie, 1 or 2 fights then coming back & waiting for my ships to be repaired & do this over again and I don't feel like this is what I should do so that's why I'm wondering if there is any guide to tell me what to do on my first steps on this game 
Thanks~
Thanks~
Probably this is what are you searching: [Guide] Kantai Collection video tutorials for new players
Here is another guide but as you say is more FAQs, but still they are userful: [Guide] The Newbie Guide
and in these pages you can find other guides and all the information that you need, they are your new bibles.
http://www.himeuta.net/f6-kancolle-guides/
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Kancolle_Wiki
As recommendation you should continue doing sorties and unlock new maps, try to do the dailies quests and when you can, start doing expeditions, they are useful for get resources, but you maybe will not need it at the moment tho

Thank you, I already saw the guides / FAQs but the videos are really helpful !
Does the landscape thingy bugs or I'm just doing wrong ? (The thing to have the game on the left & info on the right)

Are you talking about the kancolle viewer? I'd recommend this version, is more complete and have more stuff than others

My Sanshiki'd ships doesn't aim at the boss. Sometimes, they do but damage is meh. Might post my roster later.CXu wrote:

After the lv20 Chokai post... I got...
And passed all levels in Hard. Yay

The modified version may have unknown bugs and may cause unexpected shipgirl sinking or risk being banned by DMM.Dark Accelerator wrote:

Then the Yuubari version is also a "modified version" if you define it that way. Both are forked from Zharay which is forked from the original Japanese KCV. There is no "unknown bug" or "ban risk".Flower wrote:

yuyuvn is safe
kancolle tool is the viewer version that has ban risk

Don't be fooled. You have very limited options at the beginning, it gets better as you unlock maps and collect shipgirls along the way.Ninth IX wrote:

The game's concept makes it quite repetitive by nature, especially when there are no events going on. Anyway, don't worry, it's far more addictive than you think :p
Also, after 2 days of training, my new ships are close to be fully maxed (not everyone though, splitting tasks is something I hate)
I totally didn't expect to love Katsuragi Kai's design that much, I'm pleasantly surprised.
I just finished farming for Amatsukaze, Ooyodo, I-19, I-8 and Takanami.
Should I keep going to E-3 to farm for Tokitsukaze? Looks kind of cute, and plus the map is quite resource friendly.
Or should I go to E-6 and farm for Roma and U-511?
I have around 20k rsc (after gathering for the last week).

if you have to choose, go for roma, since after this event it'll be pretty unlikely there'll be another chance to get her for quite a while
I just found out that Roma doesn't drop on non-boss node on lower difficulties (Easy is boss node only, Normal is only node N + boss, Hard gets all 2nd node and boss).
So I'm done with the event now :c.
I had a lot of fun farming bunch of ships this event though, time to go prepare for the next event. I'm going all Hard difficulty next event. Maybe

Got it. Gonna go for Roma then.
Shireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Anyhow, depends on how much you care about Roma compared to Tokitsu I guess. If you're not really interested in Roma (or U-511), then there's no real reason to go for them unless you're trying to get everyone.
E-4 Easy
BB BB CV CV CV CVL (i can use 2 CVLs just in case of resources and level problems)
BB CAV DD DD CLT CLT
Is it ok

If you think your 2nd fleet is strong enough to take out the boss, then sure. She's an installation type, so CLT's won't be able to hit her with torpedoes. Remember to equip Sanshiki on your BB/CAV, and if you have any WG42 for your DDs I guess.

And I don't have WG42
And I use 2 main cannons instead of 1 main 1 sub cannon
I can't show you screenshots since it's midnight down here in
Well yeah, that's why I said it's probably fine if you think your fleet is strong enough to take out the bossKuranteMelodii wrote:

The DDs and CL/Ts won't really do a lot of damage to the boss, so you'll mainly rely on your BB and CAV.
I used BB 2CA/V CL 2DD for my 2nd fleet on E4, so I had 3 ships for sinking the boss. Well, E4 is a fairly easy map anyway, as long as you have your sanshikis.
Managed to blow the shit out of E-5 Fianl Form (took two~four runs via Suzuya x Kumano bypass)
With this Main Fleet for E-6 (haven't made an Escort one since i'm harvesting RSC) below, my fate is still unknown.

I find the FGIMO route easier. The night battle with the BB Hime usually just results in some scratch damage cut-in. (Go Echelon on I.)
I used 1CAV 2BB 2BBV 1CV and 2CLT 1CL 3DD for E6. At least imo the extra firepower is pretty useful for sinking the boss. The boss has 0 AS until the final kill, so you only need to make sure you survive node M, which I did most of the time, especially if you have the command facility to escort a ship at taiha.
You'd want to switch that Sanshiki with an AP shell though, and depending on how things goes, consider using boss support (at least on the final kill because it can be a bit of a pain).

Rip. How bad are your resources? You could consider trying to craft some, since it's only 10/90/90/30.
