event soon, looks fairly easy to clear
Jinxy
armor reduction mechanic confirmed, claimed to be streamlined and simplified compared to Summer
large foreign ship confirmed, high probability to be a drop ship

it should be much easier than summer because it's supposed to be a smaller scale event, but don't underestimate it

Kinda ready for it.
It's taking its source from a transport-based operation apparently. Given the origin, we may face a hecklot of night battles .... And Mutsuki-class branching rules.

I keep wondering how you guys could stack lots of resources, I myself never reach 30k..

Expeditions. Lots of expeditions. I'm currently standing at 30k/30k/50k/50k.

Which deity should I worship to clear 3-5 this month? I've been on last dance for 10+ sorties. Last month it was an easy run through the north route. Now Hoppou hates me and keeps sending my fleet back. Tried south route, at least two girls got hit to red in the first node every single time.

This page lists some options for 3-5

I consider 3-5 a sparkle map, esp. for South route since you have to face Line Ahead torpedoes (extreme accuracy/damage for your light fleet) and a pretty solid boss.

North is just harder on costs and doesn't arrange anything for me(except for the boss that becomes easy), so I never take it. (maybe I'll hunt for a 2nd Akashi one day)

Lastly, some people have been testing the Hayasui route, which doesn't have a 100% routing. On the other hand, you can bring heavier ships and have much less trouble going to boss. (Hayasui, 1 CAV, 3 CL and 1 AV works fairly well for example)

you can try going 2/3CLT 3/2CV with a SS (equipped with damecon if you want) as a tank
if she gets to at most orange before hoppou node you can use the damecon as a fail-safe if necessary

or you can go 2CLT4CV, blow as many enemies up before shelling phase as possible and hope hoppou is nice (which she generally is)
Jinxy
how goes it

Stomped E1, halfway through E2 (not difficult if you have the branching ships, but pretty tedious with 5-10 runs required)

4 new ships, Arashi, Hagikaze, Graf Zeppelin, Kashima

Graf has shit plane slots and consumption but apparently can NB

Kashima is a useless auxiliary ship only good for her sex appeal, but she is pretty good looking

Kagerou DDs are Kagerou DDs

EDIT: E3 is fucking hard



this battle started with everyone on my side green
Nub1


replace maki with nattsun
piruchan
E-1 normal clear. No Hamakaze in sight.

Notable drop: Kongou, Hiei, Yuubari.

The map is really easy though. Cleared it with only three ships above level 50. 5 / 5 on boss node.
Jinxy
I am legitimately impressed that for the past 5 E3 runs, Shigure will ALWAYS get hit to orange before the boss node

the 5th escort fleet slot is cursed, I tell you

At least I got E3 Hard cleared. All it needed was 80 buckets no biggie
Juuryoushin

Aside from E3 giving me the spank, I have no clue about how the fuck we are supposed to rekt PT babies, they seem to have some sort of extreme evasion values.

Also, no big fucking deal but I worked on editing the Event pages on the Wiki with the mod event team, and we got a fuckload of info in a short amount of time. Mainly the patterns, though.
Jinxy
Operation farmZep begins

Taking a CV fleet for E4 Easy, but there's some sort of (BB+CV+CLT) branching that will make you more likely to fight another node if overshot.

So far using 2 CLT and 2 CV total is sending me west from B which is good. I also put in 2 more CVLs.

Hopefully this tactic sticks for Hard

PT evasion is a bug

I am laughing my ass off here, good thing I have all the correct routing ships so I haven't actually seen them even once
Depths

E5 Easy Clear boys~
Jinxy
Fun fact: Akitsushima + CV task force gives guaranteed ABFINKO routing in E4. Great if you hate echelon subs
Exw
Fuck this event. The event is EASY, but the thing that kills me slowly is farming for certain ships on E-4. I'm killing myself slowly.
150 buckets and a big amount of resources were spent just for getting Prinz Eugen alone. And i still can't get her until now, and I still haven't got Zeppelin yet.
God.

How's your event going, guys?

EDIT :
Finally got, her. Thank you based god. It took me around 50-60 tries. idk.

2 runs before this, I got Roma. Thank you based god [2]
Juuryoushin
Meh, no good drop yet. It's not like I was trying really hard though ....


Currently training Kawa, I don't want to suffer from branchings.

What's even the point of the armor debuff in this event?

Completed everything hard, got Graf Zeppelin and an accidental Arashi on my first S on E5. Disappointing event in my opinion. The mechanic has potential and could probably be a lot of fun, but it's thrown into the trash when you can just completely neglect it and complete the maps without it.

The Imps though, they are a pretty cool idea as an enemy ALBEIT FRUSTRATING TO DEAL WITH. Why would they not put any on hard E5 final form though lol. Afraid of making the event too hard?

Kitsunemimi
This is my first time making this kind of post, but with time constraints and other work considered, I figured that it would be the best thing to do.
<- my life in general right now

So I'm searching for Mizuho at E3 because I was lazy and didn't feel like doing it last event (already cleared it on med/hard at that point), but all of my ships completely fail the moment they get to the boss node. Does anyone have any tips for consistently S'ing E3's boss (on Easy)? I'm running a standard LHA + 4 DD + CAV // CL + 3DD + 2CAV setup with one cut-in by the way.
Jinxy
one hundred and twenty eight S ranks



Switched back to Surface Fleet because the BB Hime formation has 2x the drop rate of the Wo Kai formation in Easy (click the + beside Graf, compare 1153 vs 2559 as of writing this), and my personal theory is Surface Fleet will see BB Hime more often.

Good luck finding this elusive and honestly pretty crappy CV statwise. I did this for the +FP fighter planes and the future Graf Zwei/Drei

E-3 is fckn hell! )':

up to 90 buckets wasted D':

I don't mind an easier event after summer. I think I need to sacrifice more innocent animals though, I've gotten 11 drops as CV's, just not the one I want. I could make an underwater base with the amount of subs I have to throw away.
Kitakami
Spending all of my buckets at the M point of E-4. Clear the event or no, the only thing I want is just Prinz Eugen :(

0.8% drop chance on Easy okay you win this time
Juuryoushin
Now that my main concern is out the way .... It's time to farm for Prinz and maybe Graf.

EDIT:
Pretty good score, better than an average luck, and my resources are still high. I'm done, I'm so fucking done, I avenged my 2014 E3 failure.
My event is over, fuck Graf ;w;
Jinxy
Boop All Hard clear, Yukikaze does the coup de grace on undebuffed DD WOni.

Ha-class LM in node J are pretty annoying though, actually worse than LM Elites because the former TPCIs and the latter only single-attacks in NB


Hot damn I didn't realise I blew that much on Graf farming + E4 clearing. Also, Kashima is an ASW goddess. Single-handedly destroyed Final SS Hime from yellow in the main fleet, after SS Hime left my escort fleet looking like crap (CTF)

I like how I had a net gain most of the resources between E4 and E5 tho

Only thing to go back for is Kazagumo and/or Arashi which I highly doubt I will bother with

fuck, does she even exist? 40ish runs so far, 20k fuel, 50 buckets. fuck this hoe.
-Atri-
Still can't pass E-3 in easy

OK, i give up this event
Daikyi
just discovered this thread, greetings :P from kanoya base

progress- i have no ammo, and no graf still ;n;
notable drops
roma, umikaze, libeccio, PRINZ EUGEN

currently on expedcollie attempting to make it back to farm like a madman on saturday for graf. If graf comes early (or at all ;n;) i'll be going back to e-3 for akizuki and mythzuhou lol

started the event with about 100k ammo and 525 buckets, i burnt through pretty much all of it on E-4, took me around 175 runs to get prinz, and i'm about 80 runs deep into graf farming. not to mention the 50 that i did attempting to get akizuki
Depths
well I'm down to 6 buckets and 2.5k fuel and no Akizuki.
notable drops though out the event - Graf,Arashi,Nowaki,Umikaze,Mizuhox2 and, I-19

Edit: 1 bucket and a dream
Luna-
No akizuki, no prinz, no roma, no graf

I hate this game
Exw

I'm done. 180 runs on E-4 so far.
Maybe next time, Graf.

Back after one week of nothing.
I'm glad that Oboro got a revamped art for her Kai. Now they need to do that for Shibafu's stock characters.
But the best of the damn best is probably the PT Imp scroll given upon the fuck up they had to hotfix during the event, love this.
