E3 isnt hard at all.
I have been lied to.

GO GO HAGURO

I've already lost my sanity, soon I'll run out of resources too.

I'm at E4 medium and only need the final kill now.

I've been going through node H with 2BB 2DD 1CA 1CVL and it has been working more or less ok so far. The English wiki states that node H somehow becomes "much harder" for the final kill, but I can't really find any details on that claim. What is supposed to happen?
Also do I really need 2 CVL or can I make it with 1 and fully-skilled Reppus (Kai+601)?

I need some help for E-2 hard. I can't seem to muster enough firepower to clear last dance, and i've been at it for almost 2 days.

Closest i've gotten is 120/0 hp, or 50/3 hp on the boss/battleship.

I've been tweaking my equipment a little bit here and there (swapped out more luck based attack ins etc). Only thing I have left to tweak is my CVL plane loadouts. Any suggestions?

Using RJN and Chitose,

Blue/green/red/yellow and green/green/blue/red planes on them respectively.

I haven't really noticed any major differences in either torpedo or divebomb output to stack one or the other, but I'm not sure if thats just due to my RNG swing or not. I've had a couple of runs where my first fleet + support shelling did less than 100 damage total to the entire enemy fleet.

Assume i'm using the best non-rank reward planes either for construction or kai 2s. Most of them have gold 2> or gold 3| rank (torpedo planes are still blue ranked)

>>13956495
Just post your whole fleet and equipment.

Actually by committing RJ to E2 you've already fucked yourself over for E4.

>>13956495
I had some major problems with the last kill on E2 hard as well. One time the boss survived with only 10HP

You don't need any fighters on E2 if you're going south route, since there are no carriers. So swap the green planes with dive/torpedo bombers. Also level your planes some more beforehand.

Use night battle equipment and decent cutin-setups.
You could also use a CLT which should up your chances quite a bit.

GO GO YUKIKAZE

>>13956513
is A-B-E-G-Z the south route? Thats the one I've been going through, fairly easily too usually two yellow or one orange at worst.

>>13956559
Yes. I also never really had any problems getting to the boss on that route.

>>13956564
yeah, me either, when I say worst i mean like once every 5-10 sorties it happens. I usually get to the boss all green, then get it horribly up the butt.

>>13956513
>>13956559
>>13956564
>>13956575
You can add only one CLT, right? Just wanting to make sure.

>>13956593
Yes. It won't fuck up your branching.

Is it really normal that my average going for E-3 medium is 3-5 taiha per run? Fucking Ta. I am already having AS+ at the boss node and this shit happens.

>>13956402
with what resources did you start E-7?

>>13956759
Around 500 buckets and 30k fuel and ammo.

>E6 medium chipping
>clear all nodes easily
>only one ship lightly damaged
>enter boss battle with all my planes
>air supremacy
>AACI
>she doesn't launch torpedoes, so she must be fucked for planes
>wipe out most of the support fleet with opening torpedo
>5 ships fucking taiha'd in day battle, 4 in the escort fleet
What the fuck just happened?

Maruyus for Kitakami.

>>13956658
I think your ships need to get good. Or more anti-air. I never had any problems getting to the boss.

Are you going all-north?

Unless you mean the boss wrecking everything. Then that's normal.

Someone stop me from scrapping Jintsuu

>>13957282
>easy

>>13957286
Really? I thought this was Hard.

>>13957282
what are you running on jintsuu and your CAs?

>>13957294
If you can fix this mess I'll make love to you.

>>13957302
I have Jintsuu flagship with 20.3 (no.2) mains and night recon.

I placed Tone and Myoukou in the last two spaces in escort. Tone has 20.3 #2's and a quad O2 torpedo, while Myoukou has 3 quints and skilled lookouts.

I don't know how your previous runs went, but I'm assuming you had some good cut-ins with Zekamashi and/or Beaver?

Basically, cut-ins on everyone is the way to go for the last run, imo, if your boss support and STF BBs wipe out most of the resistance.

>>13957321
Beaver or Shimakaze usually gets taiha'd before they get their chance for cut-ins, and when they actually get cut-ins they target the BB hime. I tried boss support, but my resources are almost depleted, so ~400 ammo and ~200 fuel with the chance of having to retreat just wasn't worth it.
Are your Tone classes Kai Ni'd? Mine aren't unfortunately.
I posted the entire fleet in case you're curious to how the rest is.

>>13956938
>next run
>go into boss with two ships yellow, two escorts chuuha
>sink BBhime in day battle
>kick CVhime down to 15 hp in day battle
>sink her with the very first night attack
RNG never ceases to amaze me

>>13957282
>no night plane
It's not Jintsuu that is the problem here

>>13957386
It's on Myoukou, would you like me to change?

>>13957390
No, you just need it to trigger. It is maxed out, right?

>>13957395
Is what maxed out? The plane? It's the first time I hear anything about that.

>>13957395
>>13957403
Oh wait, nevermind. That new shit that came recently. it is almost maxed out.

So what's the verdict for HE(7)LL? Suijou or kidou?

>>13957331
yeah, I'm just running a Tone CAV.

Remember to sparkle everyone.
I was impatient one day and tried to E-7 and ended up getting sent back 5 times at M.

Spent a day sparkling, and successfully sunk AA-hime later when Myoukou cut-in with 3 quints.


In your case, I think maybe rearranging the escort fleet might help?

>>13957615
There goes the last of resources. This event was dogshit.

What does this mean? I understand that it may be a specific shop combination?
I am a noob plz no bully.

>>13958002
At least 1CL + 2DD to enter.

>>13957633
2 weeks left, keep at it

>level 60 Abukama
Am I close enough?

What's the fastest way to level Hayasui?

She's quickly sucking away all my fuel.

I got Ooyodo on E-1. Is that rare?

>>13958198
Nope, I got her on first easy drop then Nowaki, Tanikaze. But it took me 10+ sortie to get Tokitsukaze

>>13958216
Is there a list of dropable ships in the event maps?

>>13958222
Are you being serious?

>>13958229
I meant if anyone had made a list of dropable ships.

>>13958235
Read the drop section, newboy
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Summer_2015_Event

>>13957633
two weeks left, keep the faith.

Just cleared E-2 after three or four days and like 100 buckets. Reading up on E-3

Anyone have some pointers (outside of farm Mizuho in easy first).

All i've really heard is E-3 and E-4 are hell and not much about any maps past that. Any specifics on either ship inclusion or plane formats I should bring, under the assumption I MIGHT make it to E-7?

I want to figure out my ship allocation so I don't get stuck bringing my C-list ships to the hardest event map. (Hyuuga/Ise were most likely the cause of me taking so long on E-2, fucking 5-15 damage cutin/double attacks 80% of my sorties with Atago missing about half the time)

re-class is cute
CUTE!

>>13957282
Should have used the event MVP

Is E6 last dance significantly more difficult than the earlier kills?

>>13958801
Extra elite Tsu at the boss and guaranteed Wo Kai at preboss nodes.

>>13958811
So I should pack more reppuu, less attack planes? I've had an easier time with more torpedo bombers so far.

What's the best comp for E-6 Medium?
I read on the wiki 2(f)BB(V)/4CV(L) and 1CL/2DD/2CA(V)/1FBB, but did you make better experiences with other comps and most importantly, what ships did you use?

>>13958826
I'm using 2 pastas, Hiryuu, Souryuu, Kaga and Unryuu, but you should replace her with any decent carrier.

Then Ooyodo, Maya, Myoukou, Haruna, Poi, Yukikaze.

I've been going the top route, reached the boss every time, sunk her 6/8 times. Now I just need a lucky crit to finish this map.

>>13958840
I see, thank you.

One more thing, can Ships that are locked on E-1 to E-5 be taken to E-6?

>>13958856
Only ships that have been to E3. Did you check the chart?

>>13958856
Only the ships you used on E-3.

>>13958856
no, only E-3 ships are available

>>13958867
>>13958869
>>13958871
Alright, thanks again.

FACKING CAT COMES AGAIN

>>13958840
How does Souryuu Kai Ni and Hiryuu Kai Ni, Shoukaku and Zuikaku, Nagato and Mutsu for the main fleet and
Fubuki Kai Ni, Shigure Kai Ni, Ooyodo, Choukai Kai Ni, Myouko Kai Ni and Italia for the second fleet sound like?

>>13958955
I think Fubuki fucks your route, check the list of forbidden ships

Other than that, the fleet sounds strong enough

>>13958959
On the wiki it says "It is recommended to use 4 CV(L) + 2 BB, 1 CL + 2DD + 2 CA + 1 fBB (taking care to avoid the above pairings of (Ayanami + Yuudachi), (Furutaka + Fubuki), and (Kirishima + Hiei)"
So I should be k?

Based KTKM-sama and her clutch klls

So who's your MVP this event, ttks?

Also, these aren't summary mvp badges. I awarded them based on individual achievements like one-shotting big threats or last-hitting boss.

>>13958959
Another thing.
Hiryuu has a Type 62 Fighter-Bomber, Reppuu 601, Reppuu, FCF
Souryuu has 2x Reppuu, Ju87C Kai and Saiun
Shoukaku has Reppuu, Type 21 Zero Fighter (Skilled)
Zuikaku has Type 21 Zero Fighter (Skilled), 2x Ryuusei 601, Type 2 Recon Plane
Mucchan has 2x 41cm, Recon Plane, AP Shell
Nagato has 2x Proto 41cm, AR196 Kai, AP Shell.

Fubuki has 2x 10cm HA+FD, Type 13 Air Radar
Shigure has 2x Quint Torps + Lookout
Ooyodo has 2x Agano class 15.2cm, Night Scout and Star Shell,
Choukai has 2x 20.3cm No.2, Recon Plane and FuMO25,
Myouko has 2x SKC34 20.3cm, Recon Plane and FuMO25
and Italia has 2x 381mm Kai, Seaplane and a Type 21 Radar.

Good setup, bad setup?

Guys, is it worth it to kai Unryuu?

>>13959097
If you want the SCAMP. Reppuu 601 is useless now that double chevron Reppuu exist.

>>13959104
I see, I have Tone KaiNi but is SCAMP even useful in this event?

>>13959114
Not really. SCAMP is more of a niche equip.

>>13959130
Thanks anon, I'm saving my blueprints for better ship then. Abukuma lv 65 already

>>13959104
>not using double chevron Reppuu 601

>>13958985
Haven't start E7 yet but right now it is the britbong.

>>13959104
Double chevron elite squadron planes are actually superior to stock reppuu if you can achieve AS already.
I am already training my zero and shidenkai2 elite right now.

>>13959205
What composition do you have pre-final?

>>13959104
>Reppuu 601 useless
>ignoring double chevron Reppuu 601

>>13959229

>>13959212
There's no shiden kai2 elite plane.

FIRST FOR ISOKAZE!

I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Either Junyou gets taiha'd on F node, or double Wo on preboss fucks my shit. It's getting to the point where sparkling seems to be hurting rather than helping, and even route support isn't helping.

126 S ranks out of 149 sorties. Not even Roma avoid me this much.

If my fleet goes B-X-D-F-G-I-K on E-7, I should probably just retreat rather than waste buckets on a failed chipping run, right?

Why the hell are we using this thread again?

>>13959394
Haruna doesn't have Sanshiki
No night-scout
Jun'you isn't Kai 2
You're using Hamakaze

>>13959394
Slow fleet placebo.

will I be able to clear the event on easy? already cleared E-1, E-2 and I'm halfway through E-3. HQ 70.

>>13959394
>using saiun in e-4 hard

>>13959394
Dont use AP, use sanshiki, put one of the special 356mm on Kongou and one 410mm on Haruna for a more balanced build, Junyou needs to be full lepu mule here, and pray.
>>13959405
Because its obvious that janny is kcgfag.

>>13959420
>356mm
>410mm

Go away Italia.

>>13959405
Because nobody else is making one.

What's everyone's odds on Mizuho so far? Trying to figure out if I should go for her (easy) or carry on, E-2 took a larger chunk out of my resources than I was comfortable with.

>>13959430
As with any rare drop you either get her while clearing, within a few runs, or it takes you an eternity.

>>13959409
Night scout never came in to play because I never reached boss. For sanshiki, I've heard conflicting opinions regarding whether to go all in or keep one BB with an AP shell for the Ru class. It was Junyou or Hiyou for CVL, I was going for highest possible plane count for fighter mule.

>>13959420
Thanks, giving it another go.

>>13959430
I'll give you a warning
It took me 3 days of farming E-3 easy to realize I wasted 30k rsc just to get nothing

>>13959430
I spent 35k bauxite, 86 S ranks and about 148 buckets until she dropped. But you could get her in your chip runs.

>>13959417
No, you're fucked right now. Stockpile harder, because E-4 is the furthest you'll go at this rate.

>>13959430

I cleared it on hard without farming for her, so I'm not even going to try.

>>13959417
>clear the event
It took me 25k fuel to finish the last map on Easy.

>>13959394
I don't know why so many people don't bring RJ here. RJ+2DD allows you to take whatever the fuck you want to the north route. I brought 3BB2DD1CVL. Helped with survivability a bit. Junyou was 1 red plane 3 reppuu which sacrificed saiun and only got parity at double wo node but with AACI fubuki it worked out pretty well for me. I had way more trouble with yasen last dance route.

>>13959401
322 anon? Give up for now, focus on clearing the event, farm later.
Same for the rest, focus on rewards first.

I don't have a single Kai2 but I want to attempt the Catapult anyway. I'm going to focus on getting Maya up, but who else would you recommend for E-6 Medium?

I keep on getting sent South to B with this Carrier Task Force on E7. Am I fucking up routing somehow with this composition, or is it just normal E7 compass fuckery?

>>13959466
I didn't like bringing RJ because the air parity at the preboss node kept sending me back.

Hayasui doesn't exist

How much resources do you guys burn clearing E-4 Hard?

>>13959451
>>13959459
>>13959444
I might just give it a day of it then without major bucket use. I need to level up hiyo anyway, I'm missing a combat capable 5th/6th CVL.

>>13959473
normal E7 compass fuckery

>>13959482
Thanks.

>>13959478
20~25k

>>13959473
usual compass fuckery, unfortunately.

>>13959478
Approximately 20k / 20k / 13k / 1k / 120

>>13959478
~20k fuel, ~14k ammo, ~14k steel, ~2k bauxite and 98 buckets spent over 35 sorties.

>>13959478
>>13957075

>>13959478
25/18/18/3/110

Do people really spend money on something as useless as rings? Surely there are better things to spend your money on in this game.

>>13959475
>Hayasui
I mean Mizuho
Fuck me
I spent so much in this shitty map,I forgot what was I looking for in the first place

>>13959478
5k / 800 / 5k / -300 / 68

>>13959507
Mizuwho? I've never heard of that ship. Are you sure she's a drop?

>>13959505
Yes

>useless as rings
Survivability for married ships in general increases but it's not exactly a gamechanger. Some people just really like their ships.

>>13959505
Priority is:
1. Ship space
2. Rings
3. Damecons
4. Reinforcement Expansion
5. Everything else

>>13959510
I'm sure she isn't

>>13959520
>3. Damecons
That's about as useless as buying construction docks

>>13959473
Try adding a CVL.

>>13959526
Not with the new 5th slots.

New glowing DDs sure are balanced.

>>13959526
It's useful now with that expansion thing

>>13959505

I buy rings for girls I really really like. What else do I need to spend on when I already unlocked the two repair docks and buy increase ship capacity every event?

>>13959520
5: Screws
6: Everything else

>>13959526
>not using construction docks as ship slots

>>13959514
>>13959520
That small luck boost does less than damecons.

So E-6 hard. Which route? C-E-G-H-L-Z or C-E-G-F-J-M/K-Z.

>>13959531
Ikr. Next event, they will be glowing yellow instead of read.

>>13959535
You can do that?

>>13959537
Do you like takoyaki?

>>13959538
>flagship late-model DDs

>>13959539
Only for built ships, you can leave them there to rot for as long as you want.

>>13959538
Abyssal DDs are slowly turning into BBs and the BBs are turning into Hime level, while Oni and Hime ascend beyond the gods.

>>13959536

What is evasion and additional HP?

Just finished E6 and starting to look at E7. I had basically resigned to doing E7 on easy around this time last week but I made it through with my resources looking really good, 70k fuel/80k ammo/950 buckets. I always felt though that I just wouldn't have the right setup and good enough equipment for E7 and it would be way more efficient to just get through it and go farm some new ships(still no Akashi after 6 months) and get ready to LSC again and try to get Bismarck.

Considering how I made it through everything with these resources, though, I want to give E7 hard a look. I have to work out my chipping fleet still, but I put together what I would probably use for last dance. Would you bother giving it a shot with this setup? I don't know if anyone's been using Maya for AACI on 7 but I'd have to go with a pretty bad DD setup for it, and my 4th-string BB here would probably be Kongou or Yamashiro.

Conflicted on what to do, it's not like I don't like the challenge or anything but I just hate running combined fleet + support when it feels like I don't really have a shot at the boss anyway because I'm missing an optimized fleet and equipment.

>>13959543
There are tacos on both route so I don't know what you're getting at.

>>13959548
>Wo Flagship Kai Ni XVIII
>350 Hp
>150 Armor
>350 plane slots
>Launches planes at Chuuha

>>13959548
Negazuki is a DD and she's more OP than any of the abyssal BBs.

All-fast evasion boost is real. Just got my first S rank at E-7 hard chipping with Italia and Kirishima as BBs.

And then this cutie dropped.

>>13959555
Go south if you only sort of like tako.

Go north if you REALLY like tako.

>>13959561
She's also a Hime.

>>13959559
Cunthime being able to rape something at night its pure bullshit, not sure how is that allowed.
>>13959564
Anon, Im so jealous, enjoy your new daugtheru.

>>13959561
>Negazuki
Terrorzuki

>>13959568
I meant any of the abyssal BB himes, my bad.
I don't want to know what retarded BB they're going to come up with top her.

>>13959547
I don't understand, why would you construct ships that you aren't going to use?

>>13959574
Abyssal support expeditions. Enjoy a second air raid after opening airstrike.

>>13959566
Alright thanks. South it is then.

>>13959575
I'll use them once I finish farming some ships I already have, and so have more space. Usually the ships rotting in the construction docks are farming fodder.

>>13959574
We still have Water Hime waiting for us to bodyblock Gothloli Hime

>>13959574
Abyss Yamato and Musashi soon!
You must sink both of them to clear the map

>>13959559
Flagship Late-model Ru Kai

- 400 HP
- 200 FP
- 200 armor
- Can use super-graviton cannon

Is it worth farming E-5 easy for anything?

>>13959574
Abyssal damecons, mark my words.

Anyone farming Kazagumo by routing E6 south?

>>13959587
And you have to bring fubuki to kill a random boss node on a future random extra operation to stop them from activating.

>>13959593
She also has to be married.

>>13959583
Appears in the 3 pre-boss nodes and two of them escort the boss.

>>13959583
Can't wait for more Arpeggio. We get to fight U-2501 and her attack nullification and then Kongou with her flagship equipment. If she ever finishes equipping it.

One of these days I'm going to get to the E-7 boss with a full six ships in my escort fleet and it's going to be amazing. But not today.

>>13959583
Combined fleet becomes all 4 fleet.
Accuracy goes down even further.

So how many of you are chipping E7 with both support expeditions?

>>13959559
Only if Wo flagship Kai 2 has the same HP and armour.
>yfw they do

>>13959597
And the final prize is Usugumo.

Watching Harbor Hime and NEET Princess getting styled on makes me realize how fucking easy these bosses are if not for the fact the devs put four and a half goddamn nodes between you and them.

>>13959644
That node is complete bullshit, and I thought preboss CV Hime was bad.

>>13959644
What node is this?

>>13959659
Node M(asochist).

>>13959659
E-7M

>>13959644
use the jelly donut item

>>13959587
Oh god I actually had a dream about this. New abyssal DDs that revived with full health into night battle to double attack you to death.

>>13959644
Guess what kid? You not only get unlimited taihas but also heavy plane loss

I wonder how OP Tanaka is going to make abyssal Fubuki

>>13959682
The only way to penetrate her armor is by spending three hard medals for an item that gives our Fubuki a wave motion gun at level 150.

>>13959620
I'm using this for route support. Ideally, I'd have a BB there rather than a CA.

>>13959572
I guess she's a consolation prize for me completing E-3 on hard like an idiot.

Why are her tits so ludicrously big?

>>13959689
Wanna hear something funny about rng? I did E-3 hard pretty easy and fast, E-5 gave me problems.

>>13959620
Me. Seriously, every node is out there to kill you and combined fleet magic is seriously skewered against your escort fleet. Getting there is a huge problem as node M has a tendency to screw up everything.

>>13959620
I don't know how else I'm supposed to do it. If Wo or BB hime or Antiducky don't fuck me up, the torpedoes do, and with support I can usually take the latter out of the equation.

Thank you, E-3. My regrets from Spring are gone, and my Kagerou collection is complete. 24th S rank.

>>13959697
Because I love them big and fat,still not sure if she's the biggest one or Musashi, also she's the key to summon Shinano.

>>13959644
I can't even get that node anymore. Finally got to the last dance and spent forever sparkling my fleet only to get sent to C. The run after that two ships taiha'd by subs. So much for my fucking sparkles.

>>13959697
Because she's the tastiest.

And one E-5 S rank absolves me of giving up after 120 runs a few months ago

>>13959715

No, that's Hamakaze. Then again, they both have really big tits for their class...

>>13959564
Only kanmusu I will be missing this event.

>>13959730
You think I dont know that?>>13959531

Do I keep Yuudachi and Ayanami for E6, or just throw them in E4? The E6 route by them doesn't seem particularly useful.

>>13959730
Anyone have an unremodelled Hamakaze?

>>13959750
Me.Yes, the line is still there, dont worry.

A moment of silence for all the DDs that have fallen in E4 chipping. Your sacrifices are not in vain. Thank you.

>>13959769
Here's your reply

>>13959769
This isn't Fall 2013

>still two weeks until another blueprint

Playing catch-up sucks.

>>13959780
Be thankful that they didn't add any blueprint remodels this event.

The fucking subs

>>13959784

Believe me, I am. Unryuu, Choukai, and Chikuma are currently penciled in for the next 3 before the next event happens. Although considering how useless CAVs were this event I might be better off remodeling Yamashiro or Roma over Chikuma.

>>13959749
>Yuudachi/Ayanami etc etc route
>5 nodes before boss, night battle node included

NOPE, and only L is the easiest preboss node.

Just totally nopping at the E-6 special routing. It just ramps up the difficulty so high.

I hate how the devs love giving CV task force a chance in this event but at the cost of your escort fleet being turned into a taiha'd mess and the loss of a lot of planes from all those Tsu-class bullsht

>>13959800

So just use Kidou Butai and roll with it?

>>13959792
Depth charge support expedition when

Has anyone gone Akashi farming on E4 hard C-node? If so, is 1 FBB, 1 CV, 4SS a viable comp?

Where are my natural regen TTKs at?

>>13959832

I'm here. With that much bucket coming in E7 I am sure you are fine. Just use slavery and expedition.

>>13959832
Reporting in.

>tfw forgot to replace Akashi with Shigure orz

Everything went alright

>>13959845
RNG has a way of mind fucking the players.

E-6 boss doesn't seem so hard. The prenodes however are pretty bullshit. Should I run node support instead of boss support?

>>13959877

If you think E-6's preboss nodes are bad, wait until E-7.

>>13959877
Sure. Only to see them in that one sub node if you're unlucky

>>13959877
Dont forget those red glowing fuckers at boss, pick your poison I guess, Im there too.

>>13959877
>>13959880

Wait, are those hard mode exclusively, or those bullshits exist in medium and easy too?

>>13959882
Do you run both supports? I don't feel like sinking that much resources before E-7 where I know running all 4 fleets will be almost mandatory.

今週末までに、ゲーム画面下【情報】において月次作戦【七月作戦】の結果情報を発表させて頂く予定です。同トップランカー提督に贈るささやかな武勲褒賞も同発表以降に順次配信開始予定です。現在展開中の【八月作戦】も、引き続きどうぞよろしくお願い致します！
>今週末までに
Devs really pushing reward dates back these few months

>>13959897
How mad would you be if the catapult was a ranking reward?

>>13959910
If they do that they will be opening a new kind of can of worms and might as well reward Shinano for top 5 only to go full retard with it.

How the hell is there such little information on E7. Is it really that random in branching?

>>13959910

0/10

I am at the bottom and never receive rank rewards, so whatever they get is ok for me.

>>13959892
No way, I actually want to clear the event, so boss only. I know it wasnt the last kill ,but it still hurts. I think the main problem of this node is the fact that cunthime can rape anyone even at night, I cant deal with it.
Now the real suffering begins.

>>13959910
I would be pleasantly surprised.

>>13959915

the english wikia is useless, use the japanese one instead.

>>13959910
>implying

>>13959915

75% chance is not that random. I was hoping for a full compass trolling map without fleet checking and LoS check. With that I can finally bring my 3 CLTs and ABKM to see the boss.

>>13959915
You really want people to test branching condition on such an expensive map?

And yes, so far it's been random but there some routes are more biased. Running surface fleet with Akitsu-X ships will mostly lead a route to the boss but it's 7 nodes long and an all star party.

Running a carrier fleet, EGJM is more common but there are some compass trolling along.

>>13959927

>they all shoot the same destroyer

This guy

>>13959937
>E7丙にてXYを４回ずつ→その後甲に切り替えて機動部隊で出撃
Well this event got alot easier

>>13959941
You only have one shot at it though. When it resets at midnight you can't pull the same trick off again.

>>13959932

there was a stream on nicolive F5ing from the first node and he went east 93% of the time with Carrier Task Force, Murata on Shoukaku and 2 Fast Battleships with Yuudachi and Akizuki.

>>13959941
Is killing the debuff nodes that big a problem? If anything it's getting to the boss on the killing part that's remotely difficult.

>>13959932
Is it even worth bringing Yamamushi in a random branching map then?
Also, how about using Hayasui. Is that even worth it?

Is it worth going super diamond on the J-->M Wolocaust nodes on E-7?

>>13959964

Double Line and Diamond on combined fleet are garbage, only good for aerial battle nodes

>>13959941
Google translate doesn't help

>>13959941
One time is enough.

>>13959951
Hotels have always been a final kill kind of thing for me. So sure. The compass is not too random but all it takes is one detour to really screw everything up.

>>13959941
Is this just saying do X and Y 4 times?

>>13959975

Why are so many people who don't know Japanese here? I thought /jp/ consist of only people who knows how to read Japanese?

>>13959964

>Wolocaust

Guys.

Is the Duplex worth it? I can't take Hard anymore, despite burning 90% of my resources there, I can't get past cockblock himes.

I'm just going to go easy and Medium for E6 for the catapults.

>>13959986
>I thought /jp/ consist of only people who knows how to read Japanese?
That has always been a lie.

Well RNG, how am I supposed to use FCF if it's either two ships in taiha in the same battle or all my DDs in chuuha/taiha?

>>13959987
>I thought /jp/ consist of only people who knows how to read Japanese?
Guess you did.

>>13959976

Your fleet looks pretty buffed.

>>13959987
Not him but I don't go on /jp/ I'm only in this thread for the event

>>13959987

/jp/ is like 90% EOPs

>>13959941
It says the guy went E7 easy to clear the XY node 4 times before switching to hard mode. Apparently it works.

>>13960000

Since you already getting into this game, my advice to you is to at least learn some simple Japanese words.

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv232159143

first attempt at last kill and he succeeds.

>>13960011
I hope that person buys lottery today and I hope he/she wins.

So the only thing Akitsumaru is good for is being a crummy reppuu mule in event maps where she gives special routing, right?

I cant believe that I did it in one try, based aryan goddess. I got really lucky, I guess Im never ever finishing E-7.
>>13959976
Do you run hotels for chipping runs, or last dance only?

>>13960023
>Bismarck 99
Put a ring on it ttk

>>13960021
And expedition, 1-5 and fappable doujins.

>>13960021
reppuuken tho

>>13960023
I did E6 last dance in one try. E6 isn't that hard to begin with. But E7 will fuck you up good.

>>13960026

>it

>>13959993
Does medium still have CV Himes?

>>13960031
I see a lot of people saying this but then so many people complaining. Same thing with E3 and when I did it I found that either I'm just really lucky or it just wasn't that hard. Is it possible that most people who complain endlessly just have really stupid equipment loadouts?

>>13960028
GEEEEEEESUUUU

>>13960034

It just comes down to luck unless you're really retarded with your equipment. The best laid plans and all that, anon.

>>13959947
Well, you got nothing to lose by doing this. Maybe some 401/Kazagumo drop chance if they depend on difficulty

I don't get that twitter. So the guy did XY 4 times in easy, then switched to hard and one-shot the boss? Is it one time only? Does the debuff stay until midnight or do I have to do XY 3 times again?

>>13960026
She deserves it, but Im a filthy monogamist scum.
>>13960034
You know what is the main mechanic of the game, besides poking cute girls, right?

>>13960023
All runs. I finished my last 3 kills within 30 minutes after killing X/Y.

>>13959877
Yep. Use node support for chipping and swap to boss in final kill since you should be going through yasen nodes. E6 is about as difficult as E5 so don't sweat it.

>>13960034
>it just wasn't that hard
There isn't anything hard about all the maps. Maybe tuning the planes, changing fleet order and swapping out equipment. The hardest is planning which ships to send but that's manageable now the information available now. It all boils down to how lucky you are.

How many times did you guys clear XY for last dance?

>>13960050
>either I'm just really lucky
I realize its just a giant RNG fest but damn I refuse to believe I got lucky killing E3 last dance in a few kills. Even the failed attempts were really close. Perhaps people don't make use of boss support.

>>13960059
I don't know a single person who would go through that yasen node. Have you seen what's in there?

>>13960071
I never used boss support and E-3 was pretty easy for me too; at least that's impression I got when I compare my experience to all the people bitching in this thread

>>13960051
That sounds expensive, before and after clearing E-7 resource numbers?
Right now Im at 91/146/173/42 544, I want to poke Teruzuki as soon as possible, since I always have bad luck with event drops, Im aiming at rewards first.
>>13960071
I believe I got it with one or 2 runs, but always with boss support, its so helpful when they kill just that one DD.
Talking about the game, "I" think its about the mindset, Im here enjoying my time with cute kanmusus, nothing more.

>>13960080
Are you me? Spent 7k and <60 buckets for E3 here.

>>13960077
You're right. I'm an idiot and swapped E4 with E6.

If you don't cut-in with triple guns does it double attack or single attack?

>>13960071

I did my E3 last dance 4~5 times. I fucking complained here because that map ate 150+ of my buckets.

>>13960112
Jesus. What happened?

>>13960108
It does triple, obviously. :^))

>>13960094
Not that low, but I want to believe that this is still good
8090 fuel / 15762 ammo / 878 steel / 10020 bauxite / 66 buckets
I highly regret fielding Yamato-class

>>13960114
The same thing that happened to me. E3 was a fucking bitch. I only had one boss kill the entire time, and that was around the 15th attempt at last dance. I had a net loss of close to 200 buckets, and 35k fuel/ammo

Hey TTKs, how's E-7 going?

>>13960114

Need to repair Taiha'd ships happened? I seldom get sent back before boss node but usually after boss node I need around 7~10 buckets for my fleet. Combined fleet eats buckets.

>>13960121
Haven't started. I picked up an abukuma in e6 so now I'm rushing her to 75

Should i just F5 in E-7 if my chipping fleet gets sent south on first node?

>>13960121
When the event first started, I thought I wouldn't be able to complete it with my slightly-above-natural-regen resources, but it seems like I'll be completing it after all, thanks to the XY buff. Sasuga tsundere Tanaka. You do care about us after all.

>>13960135
Enjoy your ban.

>>13960121
Last dance, would be finished if Yukikaze and Shigure did their fucking cut in

>>13960135
Only if you get routed to the second sub node.

>>13960121
mindlessly spending resources trying to kill the boss nodes to a respectable armor level just to have my progress wiped the next day, fun

>>13960121
Already cleared on Easy, with a good chunk of my sanity taken.

>>13960121
Everything is fine. Everything is happy. I am at peace with the world.

>>13960132
Unless you have a shit ton of resources to spare, I wouldn't recommend it
I tried doing something similar in summer 2014 E-6 and it ended up being my downfall
Ooyodo and Jintsuu are just as good, you should use them if you have either one leveled

>>13960144
> progress wiped
It's just the armor that gets reset, nay?

>>13960149
I am so calm that I forgot my image.

>>13960147
>Easy
>with a good chunk of my sanity taken.
It's time to man the fuck up anon and stop being such a little bitch

>>13960153
Why are you using 3 DD during chipping runs? Why are you not using a battleship in the escort?

My girls are so fucking stupid, why can't they just not fuck up for once, just once.

>>13960144

Stock your resources for a week, start at 12:01 JST and clear it in one day. Any other strategy is you being impatient and trying to rush it and getting bitch slapped.

Is there a better set up for any of the girls?

>>13960153

>Noshiro

good taste anon

Modern fighters and bombers when?

>>13960153

Well it is for chipping, kinda ok I guess.

>>13960169
They're already in game: The takoyaki and the Re aircraft.

>>13960169
Hyuuga K2

>>13960161
I assume you're running hard? I put bombers on the largest slots for my CVs, everything else was reppuu + 1 saiun. On the smaller slots they'll most likely get shot down on the way to the boss.

>>13960156
1) You still need a minimum of two DDs for combined fleet. I'm not going to solve the DDs chuuha/taiha problem.
2) Accuracy of escort fleet is shit . Adding BB as escort isn't going to help much except ballooning my already ballooned expenditure.
3) Those three girls have pretty healthy cutin rate.

>>13960184
Why more than one saiun? Does the LoS change anything?

>>13960183

>>13960177

I don't think those are modern aircrafts. WWII antiques that our CVs using can never stand a chance against them if those are modern ones.

>>13960176
I'm only switching the Hotels for final kill. Escort fleet will remain the same.

Should I upgrade 12.7cm (B)? It looks pretty tempting.

How would you TTKs rate the event maps in terms of difficulty?

>>13960195
Meant to say that only brought 1 saiun in total.

>>13960121
Tomorrow. I'll make you pay for what you did to my ships.

>>13960208
E1/E2>E5/E6>>>E3/E4>>>>>>>>>>>>>E7

>>13960203
Don't bother.

>>13960184
Nah, going medium. I already got the worthwhile prizes on hard, no need to run the rest since the catapult is on Medium. I simply looked at how much AS I needed and went for a safe number incase I lose some AS.

>>13960157
Please be nice to them

How's E-8 going for you, TTKs?

>>13960234
Pretty good, slowly but surely chipping away at my list

>>13960242

>>13959941
Does it work the other way around? Say if I wash out of E-7 Hard and do easy, do I have to kill those debuff nodes again?

I just started E4. Is this normal?

>>13960259
Why would you even consider making such a stupid decision like that though?

>>13960264
More normal than my sanity would have liked.

>>13960268
I'm down to 240 buckets (though I have more than enough resources) and I'm only doing half damage at Antizuki even after at least one clear of C, K, X and Y. I would rather have Teruzuki and no medal than have no Teruzuki and no medal.

>>13960264
>poi being a crit magnet
I FEEL YOU ANON.

>>13960264
Perfectly normal.

>>13960264
Bring a destroyer dedicated to AA cut-in

>>13960264
Try sparkling your main fleet, if you aren't already.
I ran most of my chipping without it, and it took 25 sorties to get the boss down to about 30%.

Ran the rest of my runs with main fleet sparkled and it only took 3 more runs to finish her off.

>>13960274
You have 240 buckets and two weeks to stockpile more. Stop overreacting

My Kongou keep missing her strikes, most probably because of the 46cm. Should I switch it to 41cm or 35.6cm?

Place your bets

>>13960203
The only one you should even think of upgrading is the Akizuki gun.

>>13960290
Shigure chokes, maya chokes, Abubear saves the day.

>>13960287
If you're running combined fleet just use 2 35.6cm. She'll hit the daytime firepower cap regardless because of the combined fleet bonus. If you're running normal fleet, change one of the guns to 35.6cm.

>>13960290

All choke.

>>13960290
Yukikaze chokes.

>>13960294
>>13960296
Everyone choked, Yukikaze didn't even do cut in.

>>13960290
Yukikaze secures the S rank.

>>13960264
I said fuck it and placed a damecon on them (with the akashi slot). Guess how many times I used that damecon?
Zero

>>13960285

>sparkled

They were all sparkled. Maybe the accuracy of Wo's plane is infinite or something.

>>13960279

I put WG on both DDs. I am switching my Chiyoda to full Reppuu (1 saiun in the last slot). Is it enough?

Or should I just use yasen route?

How difficult is E3 medium relative to hard?

>>13960310
I got nothing but S ranks when I was farming E-3 medium.

On hard, it was mostly A ranks with just a handful of S ranks.

>>13960307
>I am switching my Chiyoda to full Reppuu (1 saiun in the last slot). Is it enough?
I personally gave up air superiority at that node and counted on Fubuki to cut-in
>Or should I just use yasen route?
Tried that in an attempt to relive my Ironbottom Sound memories
It was not fun. At all.

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv232170125

tune in right when hes at the boss, Abukuma cut-ins at the boss and clears the map.

>>13960151
Not him but I'm training an ABKM from scratch at natural regen levels of fuel/ammo. It helps that I only have E7 left to go though—every drop has already been farmed in the previous maps, yay.

>>13960307
You can't expect Yuudachi or Ayanami to do good damage to an installation boss even with WG
Bring an AA destroyer

>>13960341

Alright. Gonna ask Ayanami to do the job.

>>13960321

2Monkeys4fodders Yasen node is pretty tempting to me right now.

What the fuck can Mizuho even do..

>>13960388
Not show up.

>>13960388
Make me regret clearing E-3 on hard.

>she's basically like AV Chitose/Chiyoda which can equip bombers, midget, and daihatsu

Oh man, she's better than Akitsushitma already.

>>13960408
But can she equip Taitei-chan!

>>13960408
B-B-But taitei-chan...

>>13960388

She's a slightly better ChiChi, but she's not worth burning all of your resources to not get.

Why can't one of the event drops be in E-5?
Devs are sadistic fucks for putting them all behind the hardest maps.

>>13960415
Sadly, she can't equip something useless like Taitei.

Place your bets on how chipping run # 19 will go.
C, K, X and Y have all been S-ranked a minimum of once.

Damn, the monkeys didn't even hit the boss. Even Mutsuki can crit the boss. At the end it is Fumizuki who got the MVP.

What a joke.

>>13960422
Stop posting these. Just post when you're on the last kill.

>>13960422
A rank, boss damaged to chuuha.

>>13960422
Nobody cares, retard.

>>13960423

Nah, it's just a nobody.

>>13960449
I'm glad you understand. Please do so immediately.

>>13960420

Taitei is cute, therefore Taitei is not useless.

>still haven't appeared in events

>>13960461

I'd rather fight her as a flagship than that ridiculous gimmicky boss.

>>13960461
We're having enough Wotastic fun without her.

>>13960461

Just pretend your Fubuki is Re.

>>13960473
>Fubuki
She's clearly Ikazuchii's twin.

>>13960439

I actually wanna keep her and Fumizuki but I already have main one already at level 60+.

Wow, what an end to E-3 medium. No sight of Mizuho, but whatever, I got something better and can finally cry in E-4 too.

>>13960489
>Devs giving out Isokaze on E-3 medium
Fuck everything.

>>13960489
Also got a dupe of this girl. I can't kill a mutsuki for it.

>>13960493
It's been a whole year already anon

>>13960493
She was even easier to get last event.

>>13960489

Damn, Isokaze. Remember when she was the trophy proved that you are the best ttk in the word?

I'm at about 90k resources and 480 buckets. Just started E-3. Would you guys recommend farming E-3 Easy for mizuho then rolling over to hard, or just setting the bar at medium for easier future farming and moving on?

Has mizuho even been confirmed to drop at medium? I'm on the fence of the value of a single expansion + repair goddess.

>>13960495
>Whole year
Holy shit how time flies.

>>13960501
I got Mizuho on my very first E-3 medium farming sortie, so yes she does drop.

50k and 300 buckets. Still no sight of Kazagumo. At this rate, I will assuming she doesn't exist.

>>13960513
Got her on my second S rank on E7. Seems like a pretty good drop rate to me

>cleared E-4 on hard
>try to farm Umikaze

Welcome darkness, old friend.

>>13960004
Fucking kek
E7 is going to be easy modo for me.

Does RJ really do anything in E4? Wiki says something confirmed, but it doesn't say what. I have to choose between using her and Shouhou.

I really hate the way devs do event drops.
Having rates that improve with difficulty is fine and all, but I think it would be better if your rates improved even more if you've cleared a map.

>>13960525
That's not even necessary, removing the shiplock would be enough.

>>13960524
Pretty sure it's just CVL+2DD to avoid the maelstrom.

Not sure of anything RJ specific.

>>13960524
Yes. See >>13937520

Route for all options is the same.

Do X, Y and K need to be cleared more than once to get the debuff effect? My Hotels and ABKM are still plinking her for 15-25, sometimes on cut-ins.

>>13960121
I hope I can reach it. Starting E6 when my expeditions return. I have about 300 buckets, but I'm really worried about steel, only have 25k left. E3 and E4 ate a lot more than I would've liked.

Kidou for E-6?
Post comps

>>13960531
Does that mean I can put 3 BBs with ryuujou but 4 BBs when including haruna/kongo?

>>13960532
I did X and Y once and wasn't noticing any damage increase. Couldn't find any definite info so I went and killed them 4 more times and started to see some decent damage on the boss. Day time cut-ins were hitting for around 60 and night cut-ins were up to around 100.

>>13960437
The art is good though.

It's a very nice perspective of an Abyssal in Human form.

>>13960539
I don't know, haven't seen anyone doing 4BBs on E-4 since people tend to bring CV/CVL for AS and artillery spotting on the boss.

>>13960539
Yes, but there's no way to get AS with the latter setup.

>>13960525
I don't mind having drop only ship, it's huge fun factor of events.
What I really want is selectable difficulty options for the past Es after clearing all hard. Farm and reset map before finishing looks so lame.
