I agree.

>>13949440
So which one? Is Y node drop rate farmable?

Admiral, show me your E7 face

>>13949478
Already finished E-7 with my e-pen medal. Get fuck scrub

>>13949015
If your internet is shit, leave it open and just keep updating it.
If the problem is your computer, then dear god get a fucking new one.

Based on an anon's reccomendation, I went to 4-2 with 2DD 2 CVL 2SS but I cant get to the boss node. Is this composition flawed?

>>13949478

What am I even supposed to do with all this rice

>>13949493
Feed it to your girls.

>>13949493
It only takes one run to sparkle shit with it.

Suddenly having more issues farming E-3 than the actual last dance.

>>13949484
Ok, finally reached the boss in 10 tries. RNG-sama. Whats with these capthas for boats?

>>13949493
Take your fleet to the beach

>>13949484
The only branching in that map is 2DD will go to E from A. But yes, that sounds terribly flawed.

How many resources did you guys use to beat E-7 Hard?

>>13949478

>>13949478

>>13949478

>>13949569
>firing the whole shell including the cartridge

How exactly do you do D -> F on E3 with Surface Fleet?

>>13949579
Obviously someone threw it at her.

I'm not too sure how AS and AA cut-in works in terms of stopping enemy bombers from attacking you during air phase and then on how much enemies deal damage to you after. How much fighters and anti-air cut in do you need to completely prevent enemy planes from attacking you in air phase? If you get air supremacy, can you completely wipe out enemy planes like Black Wo Hellcats and prevent them from attacking on shelling phase?

>>13949608
You can even shoot down all of CV Himes bombers if you get lucky.

>>13949608
All the info is on the wiki. AACI if activated kills a certain number of planes from each slot, assuming your ships AA and fighters kill off the rest of the bombers then the enemy can't attack since they have no planes left.

Fuck E1. Over 150 S ranks at the boss node. A bunch at E node too when I decided to change it up a bit. I've gotten every single drop in this shitty map. But not a single Tokitsukaze, the only girl I actually want. I want this E1 hell to end.

>>13949478

Carrier or Surface for E6?
Also is hard easy?
Only have like 60k ammu left

>>13949655
Read before asking. Carrier task force, it's easy assuming you have remodeled ships, you're looking to spend 20k-40k on hard depending on how RNG wants to treat you.

Show me how many resources did you guys use on E-6 with your difficulties

Sparkling is really good. It didn't increase the chance of cut in but it reduces my bucket usage.

>>13949668
It's really fucking good idea to at least sparkle DDs and CL in escort fleet.

>>13949668
Welcome to the sparkling religion

>>13949672

Those are the hardest to sparkle though.

>>13949579
That's why she was able to dodge. otherwise she'd just eat a taiha

None of my Reppuu were wiped out before. However, 46 slot Ryuusei 601 was wiped out once. I couldn't believe it.

I thought support expeditions only lose 3 morale per sortie? Why am I losing like 7?

>>13949683
Planes without AA stat gets wiped out much more frequently for some bizarre reason.

>>13949683
E7 is basically bomber graveyard. It's soul crushing to watch none of your 4 torpedo bombers trigger at the boss. That's like 1000 bauxite per run

>>13949688
1-5 morale for route, 1-10 morale for boss.

>>13949689
Ship AA. They're firing at incoming bombers, not reppuu and saiun.

>>13949692
It's random now?

>>13949692
What the flaming fuck really?

>>13949694
Tomonaga&Co were pretty constantly with chevrons during E2, E3 and E6 for me, unlike other bombers.

>>13949690
Considering that, is it even worth putting bombers rather than just full fighters to at least hope to wipe out Wo planes?

>>13949672
That's stupid. DD/CL/CA are almost guaranteed to get small damages that you are forced to repair when doing 1-1. I only sparkle the BBs and CV/CVLs in the fleets since they either have enough hp to not matter losing 5 or they kill everything before the torpedo phase.

>>13949704
>are almost guaranteed to get small damages that you are forced to repair when doing 1-1.
Learn how sparkling at 1-1 works first.

Send help.

I feel soiled. Sparkling and scrapping these little ones is the cancer that's killing boatwaifus.

>>13949698
>Tenzan 12 Tomonaga goes down from 2 chevrons to 1 blue line after clearing E3
Well fuck.

>>13949698
You had them on higher slots or it was placebo. Not much to say.

>>13949714
>boat

Had one of these stupid fucking red destroyers taiha my DD and CA. I can't hit them for shit and they never die to shitty support expeditions. Whoever thought of this shit can fuck right off

I'm practically out of fuel at this point as well, what expeditions should I be running assuming i'll be active enough to collect them as they finish?

>>13949714
Stop being a faggot. They at least did something before returning to their lives.

>>13949715
Forgot to add: it was in Taihou's 30 plane slot.

>>13949701
Obviously yes. Even if you ignore the carriers in pre-boss nodes getting one or two extra DDs down at the boss is going to make a huge difference. Bombers have higher chance of hitting than your escort fleet from my experience. Since enemy formation is line ahead it's extremely important to get as many enemies down as possible before torpedo phase.

>>13949715
It's normal, only the biggest slots are relatively safe. On E6 you need at least 22 slot size to save your bomber exp.

>>13949724
At E3 putting it in a 30 slot size wasn't enough.

>>13949719
5/21/38 sparkled, send 1-1 fodder you got to 2-3 to collect some more fuel before scrapping.

>yfw Souryuu/Hiryuu Kai each carrying 3 Reppuu 1 bomber/damecon is now enough to do 5-5

>>13949721
But I'm a faggot because I'm sending living shields on E1.

>>13949731

>>13949701

I am giving Kaga 46 slot Ryuusei 601 no matter what.

1-1 sparkling with fodder DDs is like some arbeit macht frei shit.

>>13949738
The worst part about 1-1 sparkling is that the only escorts other than sacrifices that can reliably sparkle a DD are carriers with no planes.

>>13949746
Level 1-9 subs

>>13949746

I am using 3 fodder DDs.

>>13949750
Only need two.

>>13949752

Just in case. Tanking the 4 vessels that sometimes appear in boss node.

>>13949738

>>13949756
I guess if you're sparkling unmodernized/low-level DDs.

>>13949752
You only need one actually

>>13949759

Kai2 DD. More target so that the the enemy vessels aim less at my DD.

>>13949756
Enjoy fodder stealing MVP at first node.

>>13949757

Nice one. The only real freedom is death.

>>13949764

Only sometimes. It is better than spending time waiting for your girl to finish repairing.

Went in pretty much clean and then this shit happens. E6 even more stupid than fucking E3. At this rate won't have enough of anything to do E7. Is there voodoo that works for this map too?

>>13949775
The voodoo is to keep trying.

>>13949775

It is not that bad. You have 3 ships for yasen.

Sparkling sucks... my time.

Farming node Y is going to be a huge pain in the ass, already got sent home 3 times in the sub node.

I want Roma farming back.

>>13949781
It was really fantastic actually. Since my flag was down the boss attacked first and took out someone else. Then the BB cut in and I was left with 1 ship capable of attacking which naturally missed

>>13949781
Just need Bisko to do a good cut-in.

Where are my "40k is enough" bros at?
Starting the event with little more than 30k fuel I just finished E6 without a single decent drop. I did E3 E4 on medium because they looked like bottleneck but I kinda regret it.
Now a week to recover then E7 (I'll try few runs hard but I fear that would be asking a bit too much).
Thank god rewards and drops are bland or I'd be very frustrated now.

Here we go boys.

>>13949797
Of course you're going to waste few resources if you do two hard maps on medium.

>>13949797
Which route did you go with that comp? Also did you use route/boss support?

>>13949797
>E3
>bottleneck
Spent 7k resources and 56 buckets on hard mode.

>>13949797
I've thrown 30k into E3 right now

Mizuho pleaseeee

>>13949797
I've learned from my first event (Winter 2015) that you never have enough. Finished the entire event on hard this time but I'm confident I'll drop below regen levels after E4 hard farm is done with me.
A larger res pool also means you can afford to make mistakes/try new comps or strats, a luxury that "le 40k is enough xD" people don't have. You have to sit out the first few days for information and then rush the event with your remaining time hoping you don't perform a massive blunder somewhere. Oh, and you need to pray to RNG that the rare, 0.15% droprate ships fall into your lap while chipping because you'll never have enough to powerfarm the maps.

Been playing for a week, HQ20. Should bother with the event?

>>13949815
You could do the first map a few times and hope you get a cute DD I guess.

>>13949797
Completed E1-E6 on hard, 3/8 gauge of E-7 hard remaining. Ran out of resources somewhere around E6 3rd kill.

>>13949805
C-E-G-H-L-Z
Boss support at the end.

>>13949775
I feel you

>>13949821
Approx how many runs did it take you? I just finished blowing 15k fuel and 60 buckets with only 2 boss kills to show for it. I'm getting trolled to shit by C and L. What kind of plane setup were you rolling and was it enough to get AS with 3CV? Did you sparkle everyone?

You excited for Crane remodeling?

Yeah sure 40000 a night for the both of you

Do I get a big dick discount?

>>13949655
>>13949797
You have more than 2weeks left m8.
50k is enough if you factor in passive resource regen and event duration.
50k down the drain trying to save both Mizuho and Umikaze and I failed.
Who failed to save Umikaze here?

I wish there was a quicker way to get buckets than just spamming expeditions 2 and 4 and doing quests.

This game really needs an accessible bucket-yielding node that doesn't cost a fortune to get to.

>>13949815

You could probably farm E1 for some nice ships at your level. 1CL, 2 DD, 1 BB, 1 CA, 1 CV(L) would be a good farming comp. This will let you farm a few nodes that drop good ships - Kongou sisters, Ooyado etc.while still remaining easy enough for you. Just remember to line abreast for the sub node.

>>13949850

I can't even get Tokitsukaze to drop in E1 after 150 runs, I'd rather kill myself than save Umikaze and Mizuho too.

>>13949842

I know the feeling. I sortied 5 times and kept getting bullshit before even reaching the boss node for the first time. Just keep at it, RNG will happen, just gotta power through it.

>>13949797

With your bucket count you're 100% safe for E7 hard. Just get about 50-60k fuel and you should be fine.

>>13949689
Enemy AACI only works on bombers.
You only lose reppuu at AS stage so if you put reppuu at 3# slot, you will never lose them if get AS every round.

>>13949797
>Where are my "40k is enough" bros at?
hi
cleared within 12 hrs

>>13949887

I am done with this shit. I sparkle everyone. First run Akizuki didn't even proc AACI and get taiha'd. Second run everything when right, even if KTKM and Ooyodo got minor damage on first node. Support fleet came. One of the anime CVhime have no planes. Wow my chance. Everyone cleared everything in yasen, except for the boss in minor damage and a dying CV hime. Now all is up to KTKM. You guy can guess what happened. She hit the CV hime. And it is not even a cut in.

I have no words. I am done sparkling. They broke my heart.

Please like and subscribe.

>>13949896

>>13949842
Pic related is the config, Reppuu are all skilled and it was enough.
About 12-13 runs.
I never sparkle.
>>13949874
I'll definitely give it a try.
>>13949887
>>13949892
Nice. I still have a long way to go.

>>13949896

Sparkling is just a buff, not guaranteed victory.

Am I seeing things or do installations stop attacking you at orange now? They don't even attack you with planes.

Is it worth starting playing right now? I've been away for two years with literally no internet, looks fun but it feels like I missed the train.

>>13949843
Depends on whether I keep any mental health when I finally manage to clear E-6.

>>13949892
Why are you hiding your badge m8?
Ashamed of being laugh out of /jp/?

Hey you non-kuso TTK out there. I'm almost at last dance for E6 hard. Just how much harder is the last dance when compared to shaving?

>>13949943
Same.
Except pre boss come guarantee with black wo shootah and the air raid node has no AACI which is good for your bomber slots.

>>13949943
The only difference I noticed was an extra elite Tsu at the boss.

Oh, come on.

How do i do a good support fleet?
BB 2 gun 2 radar? do i use fit guns?
DD all radar?
CV 3 red 1 radar? somone posted one with 2 red 2 blue

>>13949939
No 120 would do easy.

Better load up all your bombers

Tatsuta's summer sprite so magnificent I think I fell in love with her yet again.

When's /jp/s earliest E7 hard clear?

Have you TTK paid your daily respect to Mega ABKM-sama today?

>>13949995

Isn't that kinda low? That means 450 for air supremacy on both nodes? Something feels off.

>>13950021
THANK YOU MEGA ABKM-SAMA

>>13950022
There are only 2 Wos and they have only so much planes. You're just jaded by new plane mechanics, before those would be insane numbers.

>>13950021

Thank you mega ABKM-sama!

>>13950022
You are supposed to load up on torpedo bombers to disable the Wo and the scrubs before the shelling phase.

>>13950030

Does aircalc.net include proficiency or do I have to correct for that myself?

>>13950035

Might as well try that for the final dance.

>>13950039
It does, but it's an all or nothing calculation. Though you can split it between all planes, just fighters or none at all.

>>13949916

I know.

Place your bets.

>>13950050
They go for the decoy.

>>13950050

Always count on ABKM

Not pictured: Nagato landing 300 damage on Carrier Princess by herself in day battle and Kongou driving in the final blow at night for the S-rank. I have no idea how they managed it considering the state of the fleet.

>>13950048

Where the hell do you set it up? I think I'm blind. Or stupid. Or both.

>>13950061
Absolutely kuso.

So if you lock a ship to E7, does that mean it can go anywhere except E5?

>>13950052
>>13950055
I expected a failure, but no.

>>13950056
A cute.

>>13950060
Not this time. Her CI helped during chipping, though.

>>13950071
I don't think ships that go to E7 get any tag

It's the drop down under 熟練度MAX.

Post equipment.

So how guys is there a 100% E7-East route?
In the last thread, someone from nico has a fleet that went 90% right.
Is it because of the craneslut or LoS?
I am not sure I want to bring them due to their small 24bombers slot.

I got a jukebox for Kaga's song.

Any suggestions on other good BGM for when i am idling at base

>>13950087

IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A CLEAR KILL

Is support useful on E-3 hard?
I can get to the boss okay, but sometimes those evil Kagas are a pain.

Anyone done some testing with the rangefinder/radar?
I am wondering if it has some kind of effect on the fleet as its in the back of inventory with the spotlight and star shell

mfw my biggest enemy this event is the terribly slow internet. Still stuck at E-3 last dance.

>>13950090
You can set a buffer amount in the box between the map and air status drop downs.

E7 reset in 30mins time.
Anyone starting it up?

>>13950107
Yes, it removes at least 1DD. Sometimes it destroys 2DD or Ne.

>>13950094

The fuck is this then? Kaga post E7 boss run, untouched (didn't resupply her since then).

>>13950117

Fighters can only be shot down by other fighters. If you lost any fighters, that means other fighters shot them down.

>3 Fubukis in a row from node Y

Not funny.

Anyone playing with Sanaechan's logbook?
It was causing me cats earlier, so I stopped using it. Wondering if it's still causing cats.

>>13950128

Yes, they don't lose experience, they lose the plane amount that directly impacts effective fighter power. If you lose 5 Reppuu on the way to 400 FP node when you started with 400FP, you're not gonna win air superiority.

>>13950124

isn't there a penalty for having too many main guns even if they fit? ex being 4 41cm on nagato class

Doing first E-3 run in easy mode because I want to farm Mizuho before committing myself in clearing E-3 hard. Get her immediately right after S-rank boss .

Feel pretty good. Also, does this mean that difficulty really doesn't affect drop chance?

>>13950163
I ran 30 S-ranks on Med with nothing to show for it.
If difficulty really does affect drop rates, your experiences and mine probably aren't representative of it.

>>13950114
Me. Godspeed anon.

>>13950157
Half of your escort in chuuha/taiha. Carriers is chuuha, battleship is unscathed.

>>13950114

Not today. But soon. Oh so very soon.

I just need to get at least 100 buckets and 50k fuel first.

>>13950157

Boss at taiha, KTKM chokes or blaps escort princess. Shigure taiha if set up for cut-in. Carriers knocked out, single BB in Taiha.

>5 runs of E6 hard

All hail based ABKM-sama!

>>13950178

Escort fleet is ok. I didn't take the photo of main fleet but Kaga chuuha before getting any planes out. Junyou chuuha after 1 phase attack, Mutsu taiha before second attack.

However, all my escort fleet can fire in yasen, what could go wrong?

>>13950198
Aoba would deliver.

>>13950198
>what could go wrong?
Everything.

>>13950198
nobody hits boss, if they do it's a miss/scratch or not enough to kill

>>13950198
>No night plane
Everyone chokes

>>13950198
Chokes, chokes everywhere. And the boss completely ignore Ooyodo.

How the fuck is Akitsumaru regularly dishing out 70 damage to anything?

>>13950021
THANK YOU MEGA ABKM-SAMA

>>13950198
>what could go wrong?
Your cut-in ships get chuuha'd instantly. And then you will watch them do scratch damage helplessly against the escort.

>>13950198

Don't get complacent though, I've been in a similar situation before and still failed.

Ok I'll give a run down.
1. Ooyodo (yea, no one ever aims her) DA boss for scratch damage, better than nothing
-Boss DA Aoba, welp, too bad, but at least she can still fires
2. KTKM CUT IN (I was thinking, nah just hitting CV hime) TO BOSS (surprisingly, and my heart was racing at that moment), but only did 70 damage. Nice cut in there KTKM.
-CV hime taiha'd Akiduki, she never gets to fire
3. Akiduki taiha'd.
-CV hime targeted Choukai but missed
4. Choukai DA killed 1st CV hime
5. Shigure choked, no cut in, hit on 2nd CV hime and MISSED. Sure, Shigure, sure.
6. Aoba cut-in (3 reds), but on 2nd CV hime for scratch.

It's more that people can't use CLT and she's picking up that slack exceptionally well.

>>13950248

I'm waiting for Samidare K2.

>>13950234
Not really. There were people who liked her according to some /jp/ polls. It's just that because of her "bad" stats nobody really used her and so she got little to no attention.

Buckets? You will probably run our of ammo before E7.

>>13950259
Because E4 Easy.

>>13950262
PLEASE DON'T BULLY.

>>13950263
1169.

>>13950264
How do you get so many buckets with those resources, do you spam LSC all day?

>>13950264

>1169

You can do whatever difficulty you want. I am down to 200 buckets in E3. I probably not gonna make it.

>>13950264
Just do 3/6 medium and rest easy and depending on your resources decide what to do for E7

>>13950253
You can do all on hard.

>>13950259
>4th Destroyer Division
>Tenryuu
>Mutsuki-class

>>13950249

The prob;em with E3 is that Those 2 CVs under the boss has too much hp, your fleet will cannot finish them in day battle, and in yasen they becomes a problem since all your ship girls don't like to aim for the boss if there is a choice.

>>13950264

Also, do E3 medium for radar. Medium E4 is just plain stupid.

>>13950277
My bad, was for >>13950258

>>13950264
>E7 hard
For what fucking purpose if you don't clear other maps on hard? Is dickwaving medal and jaypee's attention that important to you?

>>13950245
Poor Pyan still stuck at her Kai level.

is the Wo Kai on E6 medium preboss node permanent? Since I'm on the last dance, it's always fucking there.

>>13950285
Yes.

>>13950283
Shitkawa will always be the worst reward in kancolle history.

>>13950285
Yes. Final form has fixed compositions.

How do I E6

>>13950293
Sparkle your escort. Replace the Mogamis.

please stop bullying me, cats

>>13950290

>>13950293
Bring both the AA queen.
A map that you can day time clear it is always easy.

>>13950293
>Mogami class

CAN'T WAKE UP.

>>13950293
If you're on your last kill, forget about FCF. You need everybody in unless you can kill the boss reliably without requring DDs.

>>13950293
>Maya-sama nowhere to be seen

The grind never ends

>>13950300
>>13950306
I don't want to grind 30 levels for her during the event.

>>13950314
Due to starting the game 1.5 months prior to the Spring Event, I spent most of the event grinding levels in order to clear it on hard.

Is it worth bringing Akizuki to E4 or should I save her for E6? Maya's already locked to E3 so I can still use her for E6.

>>13950322
Don't you have other DDs for it?

What is the better route for E-6? H or F?

why does Fubuki keep taking torpedoes up the ass

>>13950323
Well her AACI would come in handy for both E4 and E6, but I only have one of her.

>>13950332
She's a slut.

>>13950333
DDs play a support role for E4. You can designate someone else for that.

>>13950333
Save her, anyone else can AACI the pre-final Wo, and at final dance you should yasen.

>>13950332

All DDs like anal.

Is anyone using their combat rations?
How much morale do they add?
How often do they activate?

should I swap to surface for E6 final? a dd or cv keep getting taiha on the preboss

>>13948941
There is. It's small though and only matters when there are damage modifiers like chuuha or green T. Sure, most of the time there is some modifier but I would say the difference would show only sometimes. For example 2.5 *1.2 becomes 3 but 2.4 *1.2 is still 2 in the end.

>>13948948
>>13948954
Please stop spreading those lies.

>>13949797
I don't think many people want to be your bros when you pussied out on both actually hard maps you faced so far.

>>13950352
I like the fact that when you have 2 BB guns at +8 each and AP shell is at +9, you get +11 firepower, but if you max all of them, you get a 12th point of firepower.

>>13950345
Yes to sparkle expedition sluts

Often enough.

>>13950345
Are we supposed to use them?
These shit and fuel are contributing to my lack of available empty storage to sortie.

Air calculator says I have 464 airpower, but that doesn't account for pilot experience (which all the fighters are maxed out on).

Any changes I should make? Would I be better off swapping some fighters for more attack planes?

>>13950378
Why is unryuu even there?

>>13950378

one of the options on aircalc is for all planes max.

>>13950384
I'm short of decent carriers and she's cheap to run

>>13950341
>>13950342
Will send out another DD for this, then. You guys had better be right. ;_;

Good thing my rotation tactics are second to none.

>>13950378
Bring less green and more blue.
This fleet get AS in all nodes for hard.

>>13950386
Right. It should be enough. Run it once and see how well your carriers are doing. If they are not attacking, consider shifting planes around then.

Should I put main gun ci, mixed ci, or torp ci on Myouko for E3?

Tokitsukaze fag here. 200 runs, 0 drop. I'm fucking sick of seeing Kongou sisters. This hell will never end.

Well, this is my last dance on E-6 and my Ooyodo only has 11hp left. Thanks, Ta-class.

What is a fleet comp without akitsushima that can go BEDFIKZ in E-5?

>>13950430
fuck some bongos

Literally just Sanae with Patchy's fascinator.

>>13950430
Guess you will never hear her ear-piercing screams.

>>13950440
Her expedition noise is cute though

>>13950430
Wanko is cute. Cute!

When it says that torp CIs are 150x2 simultaneously, does that mean 300% or 75% each or something?

>>13950459
300. Learn to math TTK.

hurrr

>>13950471
Damn TTK, you sound like a shitter. Only the worst TTKs have multiple ships, the ones with multiple of their waifu are especially sum. Is one not enough for you TTK? How do you think she feels?

>>13950471
Use lower level subslaves ya idiot

I use unremodeled maruyus for the 6 minute repair time. They're also great for completing your daily repair quest.

Well then, my very first rare drop this event.
On the 4th S rank in E6 hard boss node.

Any tip for E-3? No problem reaching boss node before but ever since I got to last kill, my ships get taiha in first node and pre-boss node way too often.
Do I need to do both support expeditions and sparkle all ships, or at least the escort fleet?

Alright TTKs. What's your wishlist for this event? Who are you looking for and who have you found so far?

>>13950510
I just want Teruzuki. That's all. I'm not even going to farm the maps.

My brother. We can grind E1 into the night together. May you get your Ooyodo and may I receive my dog.

>>13950440

That's fine, I've got this on loop to give me encouragement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTytQSGse-8

>>13950510
I have everyone besides new ships and I most likely won't be able to get Mizuho, Umikaze and Kazegumo this event. Fuck the shitty droprates coupled with outrageous difficulty.

>>13950510
Got the template?

>>13950510
Looking for:
Hatsukaze
Harusame
Taigei
Isokaze
Mizuho
Kiyoshimo
Asashimo
Asagumo
Umikaze
Kazagumo
Sakawa

Already dropped:
Zuihou
all map clear rewards

Looks like I have my work cut out for me. I didn't even know Kiyoshimo and Asagumo were dropping, looks like E-4 is going to become my home after E-2.

>>13950510
I want only Mizuiho but I cleared E-3 hard in first few hours of event thinking she was reward. Making her drop was a good joge, you really got me this time, Tanaka.
I don't want anyone else, only her.

>>13950524
Cute

>>13950533
Here you go, TTK.

>>13950524
tfw i just got my 9th dog

>>13950510
I got everybody on that list except Asashimo and the new drops, focusing on Kazagumo for now.

>>13950526
At least pudding isn't a drop. Then everyone will be fucked.

>>13950545

You piece of shit. Can I have one?

Is it okay to lock my Cranes on E-5?

>>13950559
Why? Just use a normal cV

>>13950559
Nah, take them to E-7.

?
Help please.

>>13950510
Asashimo and Kazagumo. None of them will come to me, though. I'm 99.99% sure they won't.

>>13950564
Do you have your 5 free ship slots and 20 free equipment slots?

Black Wock Shooter has way too much armor dang it.

>>13950564
>>13950567
I don't even want to say what it is because it's so obvious and stupid

So are C and L nodes actually affecting the boss? Or is it just pure speculation?

I wish I could read moonrunes better...

>>13950563
But do they have any kind of branching rules? The only CVs I have available is those two and the Dragons, and kind want use those further on.

>>13950567
Yes, plenty of space.

>>13950573
Thank you for your help.

If air radars are so shitty, why is it important to get the Duplex Rangefinder from E-3? It's not a guarantee that support shelling expeditions will actually hit their targets, right?

Place your bets

>>13950582

Check ship locks?

>>13950581
It's speculated that they do, but there's still some random bullshit if you use them.

>>13950586

At least 2 carriers chuuha or taiha, boss in chuuha, BB hime alive, at least one choke on cut-in setups.

>>13950061
Did you unknowingly pass through one of two suspicious-looking nodes on E-6? It might have debuffed her armor.

>>13950579
So are C and L nodes actually affecting the boss?
AA and FP according to rumors.

>>13950125
You farming E-3 on what difficulty?

Is this the proper way to Harunya cut-in?

>>13950587
Only trying out E1. Blue locks in some ships of fleet #1 and #2 (now combined).

>>13950589
Thanks, I'll take Souryuu with me to E-5 then.

>>13950608
Nope. 3 fit guns and AP shell.

>>13950579
English version.

>>13950610

Combined fleet to E1? E1 is single fleet only...

After learning how to combine fleets... all that wasted time.

>>13950586
>>13950625
This kind of blogging is boring if aren't going to choke.

>>13950616

Thanks. Speculation, then. I'll still whack the key nodes, just in case.

>>13950616
These infos are kinda old

>>13950557
if trading system existed i'd gladly give one to you

Hey, for you TTKs, how would you rank each map in terms of frustration to clear so far? No kuso mode please.

>>13950510
I just want Hayashimo and Kazagumo, maybe Kiyoshimo too. Even 1 is good enough.

For E-4 last dance should I go CV+CVL or Fusou+Tones+CV?

>>13950653
E1 < E5 < E2 < E3 = E6 << E4 <<<<< Compass trolling and double Wo Kai rapefest

>>13950670

Sounds about right to me. Fucking Wo Kai.

Thank you again for your help. So difficult to play this without knowing Japanese.
It really payed off. Got my first kongo at clearing E1. Wow, that enemy flagship barely died and all my fleet got wrecked at the end.
Couldn't have figured it out without help

>>13950699

I just call them monster Wo. I know it's RNG but its infuriating they can taiha ships through AA cut-in + Air Supremacy in preemptive strike.

>>13950708

Just use the wiki.

Nice targetting.

Has anyone else had Yuudachi always get focused/crit?
She's probably my most bucketed from E-3 and E-4 so far.

>>13950770
Yuudachi is the best DD, therefore she is the biggest crit magnet.

>>13950770
Had her get attacked 5 times consecutively on the preboss node of E3 final.

>>13950770
Everyone's got someone. It's Fubuki for me, she can't get by sub node on E6 without exploding.

>>13950770

It's not only Yuudachi. It's DDs in general.

>>13950770
E3 and E4? Dupes? I only sortie Yuudachi for E4 and yes, she gets taiha alot. Then again if I put her as flagship and other DD will get crit just as often.

She however, is excellent at using a searchlight. She probably aims for the abyssal's eyes or something.

>>13950770
If you play the game long enough you're going to see every ship get focused for a bit. It's RNG bullshit.

>>13950797
Generally, DD or ships capable for cutins get a lot of attention. I observe bosses in general are much smarter.

>>13950797
Anyone with torpedo cut-in will get focused. It's not fair.

I got every ship but Umikaze and I already kuso'd out and picked E-7 easy because I was down to 100 buckets. Whatever map she's from is locked to hard.

Should I bother trying to get Umikaze, she doesn't seem that interested. Less interesting than the flat Guumo I got by accident while weakening E-7.

>>13950770
My beaver didn't fire a single shot in E-6 boss NB throughout my entire clear.

Not one.

>>13950817
>Umikaze
Isn't she from E4?

120mm twin gun is my new favorite fairy, she's eating tiramisu. Thanks Japan for not just shoving pasta in her mouth again.

>>13950855
Devs could've at least made it screwable with some silly Kai variant. .

>>13950870
It's a nice little pickup for someone like me who is hated by Akashi for some reason. Thanks Tanaka for putting her on E4!

so I just beat E6 last dance. Not Kaga didn't speak or have any voice lines. Does she just do that on this map?

>>13950914
Yes. She's silent throughout.

>>13950923
That's weird. I also did hard E6 and didn't get any dialogues or boss intro, but a friend who did medium E6 did have the usual cut and the taunting dialogues every sortie.

Did they fuck up hard mode or something?

>>13950879
So I just noticed that Akashi drops at C node on E4 which is farmable with 4SS. Before I give it a shot, there's no reason to avoid locking subs here, right? The only other map where subs are useful is E7? Just trying to avoid a stupid mistake, I'm on E6 already and the only other maps I'm going to farm are E5 and E3 I think.

>>13950929
Occam razor would suggest that was the case but who knows, maybe the devs are trying give characterisation to CV Hime, she's serious when she's not taunting.

>>13950929
Wait, what? If that's true then they probably forgot to add voice lines for her Takoyaki Kai version.

>>13950942
Sounds handy. I guess I know what I'll be doing post event, trying to pick up 3 more of that bitch.

>>13950929
I did medium and she had the intro and voices every time until I go the bar down to the final kill.

>>13950953
I'm 0 for 2 in trying to S-rank it with 2DD 4SS, the subs keep missing at yasen if they don't cut-in, left one alive both times.

>Getting cucked by E-6 medium
>No resources left for E-7 easy

No Teruzuki for me, brahs...

>kuso mode
It takes like 20-30k to beat kuso mode according to kuso teitokus. You can gather that much resources in like 3 days if you go NEET status, or you can easily gather in a week if you play normally and just do expeditions/quests/orel cruise.

>>13951119
With that many bombers, maybe you should consider adding the other yellow plane I can never remember the fucking name.

>>13951109
2 weeks, mate. Rev those expeditions and kitchen timers.

How do I set up my escort fleet for E-7?
I need two more runs, and I'm thinking Carrier then Surface.

How is EGIKMZ compared to EGJMZ (submarine + air battle versus normal J node).

BWS at M node keeps sending me home; should I run both normal and boss support to get through to Antizuki?

I'm running Beaver, Jintsuu, Bismarck, Shig (double 12.7 late model with type 94 FD because I don't have ducky's guns), cut-in Tone, and 3 quints + skilled lookouts on myoukou in the last spot

>>13951125
>if you go NEET status
You can get as much in a day.

>>13951122
Probably good advice, since poi just got taiha'd to 1hp on the first shell of the first node!

>>13951133

If you slave in Orel Sea mines for 24h straight, maybe.

I think my Yukikaze is broken.

>>13951139

Sparkling won't prevent random taihas... it will just make them less likely.

>>13951125

Got an idea of how many buckets? Kuso mode with 40k of each resource left here, but I'm currently on 25 buckets.

>>13951140
I thought we were talking about going full NEET.

>>13951142
Might've been prevented with that, though.

>>13951143
Probably 80 to 200 depending on your ships and luck.

>>13951144

NEET or not, you still need sleep. Hell, I slept more when I was NEETing than I do when I have 9 to 5 job now.

>>13951143

I'm saving to 100 for last kill on hard mode only.
