Cleared E-3 on easy thanks to Kitakami-sama for her torpedo cut-ins and Kongou for aiming at ships she should've aimed.
Notable drops: Shoukaku, Zuikaku, Kongou class BB.
I'm happy I managed to clear E-3, but I can't handle 500+ fuel every sortie and 10+ buckets every map. E-4 might be the furthest I could do for this event.

Ah~ I forgot about this thread and disappeared for a while again.
I heard this event is really CV heavy I wonder if I have enough baux???
Jokes aside, I'm planning on doing the event on Hard, although I haven't really started yet because of the extensive ship locking. I'm trying to sort out my fleet assignments but it's kind of hard when there's barely any information out there yet... :/
Also I haven't really progressed or done anything with my ships since the last event so that should make things fun ._.
Was going to start E1 tonight but then I realized that I had just sent out Kikuzuki on an expedition that would run into my bedtime so I couldn't do it derp

I'm going to tackle E-6 right away. Things were smooth on my side thanks to RNG. Here is what I used at the moment, assuming your fleet is big enough to allow that:
My ship schedule ! (yo E-6 is false yo)
E-1: Bring Kikuzuki for laughs & branchings. (A-D-Z route, 1 battle, 1 rsc node.) Support fleet if needed/if you want the easiest sortie possible.
E-2: 2 BB/2 CA(V)/2 CVL + 3 DD/1 CL/2 CA (A-B-E-G-Z route, 4 battles including a sub one) works rather well. Given you literally have no enemy carriers on this route, load bombers on the way and wreck everything. Hard last dance can be tricky, but nothing impossible.
E-3: Bullshit map. Medium has the Hard enemy comp as last dance. (2 CV Onis escorting the boss) 2 BB/2 CV/2 CVL/ + 1 luck DD + Akizuki, Maya, Kitakami, 1 CL and another DD can do the work. (A-C-E-H-Z route, 3 battles including an aerial exchange node) It's RNG heavy here so don't hesitate to go full support fleets to help you out.
E-4: Cleared it in Easy. Medium was already too bullshit (yet less sanity draining due to rsc loss being way less hard on you). Kongou+Haruna or Kirishima+Hiei/ 2 DD/1 CVL full Reppuu/1 CA(V) can make it.
Ta double line becomes Ri double line, and double red-glowing Takoyaki wo become double weak elite wo. Big difference between medium and easy.
Go to yasen nodes for final since it becomes slightly easier. Don't forget support, it can easily bring down 2 or 3 ships. (they are rather weak)
B-D-F-H-Z route prefinal and B-D-E-G-Z route final.
E-5: Far, FAR easier than the 2 last ones. Akitsushima/3 CA(V)/1 DD/1 CV can easily make it, you don't even need BBs. This comp is thus rather cheap to deploy and can be spammed for farming. (ROMA/YUU DROP HERE APPRENTLY SO YES..... FARM THIS MAP)
E6/E7: CLTs are banned from E6, you will go to a dead end right away if you have one. I don't know about E7 however.
It's been rumored that killing Wo Kais and Installation boss in the same map before facing AD Princess can lower her armor.
So far I can tell that E-3 and E-4 are complete hell and should be avoided in higher difficulties if you don't want to waste too many buckets for nothing. Rewards aren't that great compared to the stuff we had in Spring. (No BP ships it seems this time)
Hope it helps.

If I don't get Tokitsukaze before this event ends Im gonna be really sad
E3 Hard Final doesn't look different, but in reality AV Hime as been buffed by quite a lot including +20 armor
I'm 80% sure clearing E3-X weakens her armor, too. Went from scratching her in the day to being able to knock her to Orange, after I cleared E3-X 3-4 times.
In E4 now, but I'm farming Easy for Umikaze and Akashi. Maybe Kiyoshimo too

I forgot I also needed Takanami. That didn't take long at all, 24 S ranks for the trio.
Around 8k Fuel/Ammo, 6k Steel, 37 buckets.
.
I've been at E7 hard for about 24 hours now, and I'm at a loss of what to do. Entire fleet 90+, sparkle everyone, use both expeditions. I've wasted about 30k fuel and ammo for a measly two and a half kill. Sub node oneshots me, map sends me the wrong way. It's just a big mess of RNG. Like what am I supposed to do? I see people completing this map within a day, and they say it was "tricky". Am I really unlucky or what lol? I've made it to the boss probably about 5% of my runs and I just don't understand how to handle this amount of RNG.
There are many useful informations to weaken the E7 boss (and maybe lead you to the boss too) now:
From the official twitter we know that there are some ways to weaken the boss, and the effect will be reset at 0:00 UTC+9 every day.
From the further test, we're quite sure that getting a number of S-wins on K,X,Y (or C,K,X,Y) points on E7 can lower the armor of boss on the server side or other effect to help you to take impactful damage to boss.
It seems like before C,K,X,Y points are killed enough times, the routine is random, so if you are going to the wrong way, just treat C,K,X,Y points as boss nodes and kill all enemies. After many runs, the routine is going to be certain (E-G-J-M-Z). Make sure you clear these nodes in a day of Japanese time or the effect will be reset.
I'm collecting resources and will go to FS a couple of days before the event ends, and good luck everyone who are still struggling on this fucking hard event.

Carrier goes center 70% of the time which is preferable
Surface goes south 70% of the time which isn't good, but Akitsumaru guarantees D -> H it seems
And yes clear K X Y a few times it's the only way to pierce her armor, her natural armor is above the fucking NB battle cap
Also >using a BB that isn't Bismarck in the escort fleet

Fuck this event
I can't defeat the boss at E3 even Easy

I only plan to finish E-2 and farm from there, I was highly unprepared for this event to start lol
After a few unclean chips, I finally S-ranked the E4 Hard Boss for the first time. Node Support > Boss Support
this reward tho
this reward tho

I managed to get a clean kill but that's all, the boss bar exactly is at 69% (657/2040, I keep every screen of damage I did to the boss.)
laughing right now
After losing hopes on events, i use all of my bauxite by Large ship construction, another hoteru eh....
I managed to get to final kill on hard before I went to bed yesterday, but my resources are pretty bad. So I stopped playing and started collecting, hoping that one final push at the end of the event will be enough to complete it.
Even if I actually didn't do 8 damage, it's pretty funny to think I did considering her armor.
(Also kudos to my level 96 Bismarck whom I STILL don't have a blueprint for Drei)

Got my final EZ kill after 450+ buckets and a hell lot of rsc spent in that shit. I regret nothing, really. Gonna make a huge collect and do nothing for a moment tho :3/
That should be her main theme, JUST LOOK AT THE LYRICS !!!

E-6 is expensive holy damn
Lvl 70 here, I remember having to wake up at 4:00 AM for the lottery but yea I wanted to try it out and I'm proud to say that I have Yamato, Musashi, Nagato and Mutsu plus some others

For E6 Hard final kill, I tried my luck and chose not to take node support because my 3rd fleet was in tokyo express.
Met Wo Kai
Oranges 2 of my main fleet ships and doesn't red anyone
Proceed to boss node with boss support and stomp it so hard the only thing alive pre-NB is CV Hime
Whee!
E1-E6 Hard clear, E7 Hard? come at me bro
If you guys haven't already, use http://aircalc.net/ to find the most optimal plane setups since it supports the new plane mechanic. Double chevron on greens is a flat +25 air power boost so putting them on small slots are actually better now. Leave the bigger slots for bombers so they don't get wiped out by Tsu-class nearly every time and can contribute to good damage. I managed to bring 5 slots of bombers total for E6 (3 CVs), and every one of them were >20 slots. Still managed to AS on air node and AS+ on boss node

E-4 IS BULLSHIT
This is actually the one and only kill I got

I'm done with this event. Going to rest them shipgirls for a few days. Notable drop: Yukikaze, Takanami.
Quick question, which map should I farm? E-1 or E-4?
Depends on who you want to get. For the matter, Akashi drops in E-4 C, regardless the difficulty.piruchan wrote:

~0.286%. It's a good timewaster if you're done with the event but I'm pretty sure you have a higher probability of clearing E7 Easy by ramming through it compared to getting one Akashi from E4
real shit starts now
okay, so, i dont really understand about that node X, Y thingy
how much kills are needed to weaken the boss' armor per day? 1?
how do i get to node X or Y?
also, CTF or STF?
god, i tried to read the thread on the wiki but i still just can't get it, smh

It's been verified that killing X and Y flagships lowers AD Hime's armor. K also does, to a lesser extent. C remains questionable, some people believed it works. It resets everyday at 0:00 JST.Subaru Takamaru wrote:

Only 1 kill is apparently needed, but once again people speculate that killing them several times can lower her armor even more (and this time, the displayed value wouldn't be the same as the real one.)
About how to get to those nodes.... ha, hahaha, HAHAHAHAHA, you'll see them enough anyways, the routing is freaking random all over the place. The only known branching is from D to H, which guarantees this by having Akitsumaru in your Main fleet.
CTF has better chances to reach the boss since it has higher chance to go E from the start, but beware, you'll be facing a double Wo Kai in Diamond/Double Line in M Preboss.
STF has better chances of killing the boss. Unfortunately, routing issues are a bit worse than CTF. You'll be facing a BB Hime as L Preboss with this fleet.
Both types can deviate to Y instead of going to preboss as well.
As additional information, don't even think about CLTs, they will lead you to the C dead end.
Don't lose too much sanity.
E-4 was such ass. Glad to finally be past that ._.
10 runs all failures with sparkles and 1 clean final kill with no sparkles. RNG-sama please.
