3-5 North has the equivalent of 2 pre-boss nodes (Wo Kai + Hoppo) which can be stupidly damaging even with AACI and AS+.
3-5 South doesn't have to be bucket-intensive, 4h waits to reduce bucket consumption by 2 to 4 are perfectly acceptable considering you have 30 days to do it. On the other hand, if one heavy ship gets hit to red, that's an immediate bucket because the alternative is 12h-16h of repairs
If your entire light ship fleet can get hit to red and you need 6 buckets per run, then your light ships a shit. I accidentally sent out an unequipped Jintsuu for the 3-5 final kill and still got it :V
Go for firepower DDs, goal is to deal as much damage as possible to mitigate closing torp damage. CI DDs aren't necessary to sink Tsu-class
And 5-5 is a good thrill as long one is patient and doesn't burn out by doing too many 5-5 runs a day. Max sparkle once or twice a day, for 3 to 6 runs a day. Beat it within like 8 runs this month.

i used 40 buckets on south route and i got 2 kills
i used like 6 on northern one and got the third, but the final one is trolling me so hard
3BB3SS works pretty decently for me, it's just whenever one BB gets to yellow in the first two nodes, every subsequent attack gets focused on her ._.
im trying to rush through it cuz i just want to get this over with, also want to try and clear 5-3 in the second half of the month
edit: fuck 3-5, ill do it at the end of the month. 5-3 can wait

I did another two attempts for Bismarck (15th and 16th attempt) using 5/6/7/3 20 and all that came out was Yamashiro and Haruna, respectively.
RNG pls ;w;

I don't think that I need such a high amount of res if my bucket count can't handle the next event. Maybe I should just level some ships or LSC....
Zuiun 634 Air Group obtained = w=v
3-5 south and 2-5 north work out a lot better if you sparkle and have higher level ships. I find that when you're lower level, the performance of your ships are too inconsistent to get decent results, but if your destroyers are around that level 70-80 mark, then you should be just fine.captin1 wrote:
3-5 south route is bs. i don't know why people say it's the better route cause i get rekt way too much on it. i'll be taking north route this month lol. i think the higher resource drain is worth not losing half my buckets
...Of course, things are still really inconsistent... I still find 3-5 to be really frustrating at times (took me like 10-12 attempts or something this month), but ultimately you use far less resources and it doesn't require that many more buckets.
D: That 4-5...
Kako so badass aaaaaaaaaah, finally I care about this.
Now, lets try 4-5 guys, post your comps or wait till you have enough info.... It's up to you.
EDIT: Okay, never go south, take the middle route instead, it's fucking cancer otherwise.

Damn, Kako got Kakoii (I'm sorry.) I've been planning to lvl Kako for a while already, since I really like Furutaka, so her becoming badass gives me a good reason to lvl her now. She's been sitting around lvl 19 since forever.
Also 4-5:
Only Yamagumo and Shioi left!

Geez, too many CAs to level ....
Grats for your drop, CXu !
On my side, I barely managed to score the final kill on that shit.

It's my first time doing 3-5, and I'm already annoyed by it. (South route)
Doing the 1CL/5DD composition, I've only managed to get to the boss once in 7 runs.
I'm finding it really hard to pass the first two nodes, there's usually one DD that goes taiha there. The DDs equips 2 x 12.7cm + 1 radar, while the CL equips 2 x 15.5 cm + seaplane and all kai ni (66+).
Is there something I'm missing or do I just have bad luck?
EDIT: cleared it in 15 runs, pure rng torture.

well that was easier than i thought
only used like 20 buckets
on to 5-4
I haven't been in touch with Kancolle after spring event. I'm such a bad teitoku for neglecting my shipgirls.
Eh, I'd just say you were fairly lucky Maya decided to shoot the boss right there at the endSynchrostar wrote:

5-4 is pretty easy.
@MetalGearSnake: what a bad ttk.
Bisko get~~~
yisssssss

As someone who is new to the game and has like no buckets when should I start saving up for the event?

from now, better than too late I guess xDJugment wrote:

Focus on getting 2-3 of every ship type in the game (preferrably more for some types like bb or cv), and leveling them to a decent level. In general, starting to save resources around when it's announced, or a little before should be fine, especially if your ships are ready, since you'llsave a lot of resources (and sanity) by not having your ships rekt or shiplocked.
As for buckets, you can just keep doing exp. 2 for them, and you'll have a decent amount by the event. Also having a lot of resources wont help if your ships are underleveled, so def. Focus on that.

I didnt know about exp 2, thanks CXu
<-gathering all the buckets from dailies, lol.

If you're in need of buckets, say, during an event, you can use exp. 4 as well, but just running exp 2 will give you an average of 1 bucket every hour, so yeah.
Wow, I didn't know there's kancolle thread here ;_;
I'm trying to complete 5-3 btw, what's the best composition for clearing the map? I've got the first kill with 2FBB 2CA 2DD. Is that strong enough for the last kill? (FBB and CA using the double attack setup btw)

Dunno. I just prayed to RNG-sama.

How to grind your DD/CL? Also what's the best composition for it? You know, sometimes 4-3 is quite a pain in the ass.
If you're above hq lvl 80, probably 4-3, or bringing them along on 3-2 while leveling a BB for them to leech.
For 4-3 I use Flag DD/CL, BB, 2CVL, 2CLT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_IQMxUc340

How far are you guys in with the sortie worlds? I've hit a wall at 5-3 and pretty much gave up on trying to overcome this horrifying map.
I'm still in 4-4, nothing's really compelling me to go to world 5 (although I'm slowly completing 4-4 to get to 5-1, then off to 4-5)
right now anyway.
right now anyway.
Only 5-5 thay I haven't tried or cleared. Spending all my rsc on lsc ;;
5-3 first kill. I haven't made any progress since the last post on this thread, lol.
EDIT :
I got Bismarck today holy shit ;;__;;
First try today, 4/6/7/2/20
I couldn't be happier; thank you based RNG

So there's a few days left, and I just unlocked 4-5.
First run: "Oh, instant boss node, boss rekt, that was a good run."
Second run: "Taiha pre-boss node (J), oh well."
Third run: "Oh, another boss node, boss rekt again."
Fourth - Tenth run: "Let's all get taiha'd in the first node or preboss node."
I thought the map was going to be quite easy because the first two kills came pretty quick. 30 buckets in, around 5k rsc used and still in my third kill.
This is what my fleet is:
First run: "Oh, instant boss node, boss rekt, that was a good run."
Second run: "Taiha pre-boss node (J), oh well."
Third run: "Oh, another boss node, boss rekt again."
Fourth - Tenth run: "Let's all get taiha'd in the first node or preboss node."
I thought the map was going to be quite easy because the first two kills came pretty quick. 30 buckets in, around 5k rsc used and still in my third kill.
This is what my fleet is:
- Bismarck - 2 x 38cm / Ar196K / Type 3
- Myoukou - 2 x 20.3(2) / Seaplane / Type 3
- Maya - 20.3(2) / 25mm concentrated / Type 91 AAFD / 12.7cm HA
- Haguro - 2 x 20.3(2) / Seaplane / Type 3
- Hiryuu - Type 21 (skilled) / Type 99 (egusa) / Shiden Kai 2 / Type 2 Recon
- Kaga - Shiden Kai 2 / Reppuu / Reppuu / Type 21 (skilled)
I went with 2FBB 2CAV 1CA 1CV for 4-5, which worked fairly well. Stacking Reppuu 601 and Reppuu's on Kaga and the CAVs made me barely get AS on bossnode, and even though she can't attack, having that extra FBB worked out pretty well. The final kill was a bit of a lucky run for me though, so I'll have to see if I'm gonna change my fleet up for the final kill next month. + It could be that I was just lucky overall. Having CAV will also prevent you from getting a D on the submarine node. The AP Shell on Italia is mostly for her to have enough power to sink as much fodder as possible on boss node.
One of my problems is that I only have 1 CAV (Mogami) and I don't have enough medals for Chikuma and Tone, so I'm forced to bring 2CV. And my Kaga only packs around 170 AS, which is much lower than what I need for the boss node.
I feel like I'm screwed this time around.

Have you tried 4BB 2CV? (or something like that, I forgot). From what I've heard the night battle node and the node afterwards isn't too much of a pain.
