Drop reward:

Whats that photo on the right?

E-2-HARD: Cleared at 13th runs

Route: A-E-I-J-M-O (always northern nodes route)

1ST SETUP: 12 runs, Very resource efficient for wearing down BOSS HP, almost impossible to clear Final Dance.

Hayashimo (2 late model Green, radar/launcher)
Kiyoshimo (2 late model Green, radar/launcher)
Kasumi (2 late model Green, 1 X Wurfgerat)
Ooyodo (1 red 1 yellow 1 seaplane with radar/launcher)
ABKM/KTKM (Type A hyoteki + 2 X 15.5 yellow cannon)
Maya Kai 2 (1 red + 12.7cm + AAFD + Concentrated Deployment and 1 X Sanshiki)

Insufficient equips for Installation BOSS, need at least 3 anti-installation equips for using such setup.

2ND setup: 13th runs: Good for destroy everything including Final Dance BOSS, not resource efficient though.
Route C-D-G-K-L-M-O


3BB (1 red 1 yellow 1 AP shell 1 Sanshiki, YES, NO SEAPLANE)
1BBV (1 red 1 yellow 1 seaplane bomber 1 sanshiki)

Something I tested and worked in E-3-HARD Transport phase:

Q. How to survive 2 sub node with Golden So-Class Submarine Flagship???

A. Try to equip as many Sonars(not ASW combo) as you can, I used 6 Sonars spread across main fleet + Escort fleet. Yes survived without sparkling(normal repairs and sortie)

6-7 Sonars effect out of 5 runs: 3 time survived without damaged, 1 time Taiha at 2nd sub node, and 1 time chuuha 2nd sub node

TP phase almost cleared: 5/500 TP left (5 successful attempt 77,111,77,67,86, out of 8-9 runs, support fire needed)

Main:

Escort

TP Phase: Success



Notable Drops: Okinami 2nd, Yukikaze, and Kazagumo

Get past the TP bar gauge already? I waiting for the repairs and then try to clear E-3 boss killing within 1-2 days, cause farming rare ships need time =_=

I always can learn new things from every event haha... very addicting this management type of game.

Sonar very useful in evading torp-based/submarine attacks, maybe in real life, sonar always able to detect incoming torpedo noise?

Can anyone tell me, how to fight against these 4 princess??? Sasuga Tanaka...

Come on bro, where is da drillz???

You cleared the E-3-HARD!!!??? care to share your fleet setup?

I tried 15 runs already still cannot last kill the the Flagship Demon Princess cruiser VI though... heavily guarded by other 3 princesses...

oh myoukou instead of Ooi? as long as highest luck for torp cut in, no matter ship type?

Your Kaga is reppu mule without Saiun? Maya with AACI?

KTKM no need A hyoteki? directly triple torp cut in??

Ultimately which route you follow?

Why they want to farm Fumo Radar? How was it useful?

Ooi really swt one... I changed Ooi to Shigure... gotta bet on every high luck ship I got here...

without triple torp setup, KTKM attack power not enough for almost full hp Demon Cruiser...

So far I spent:

60+ buckets
2 set of mamiya and irako
Tons of ammo

no result before I trying your build now. Really no experience on Yasen setup... my main fleet 99% same composition as yours.

I am stuck with last kill, may I know how you able to kill these BB hime and CV hime??

Kindly share your fleet setup and equipments T_T.... 50++ buckets left... always taiha at first node... then facing these 4 madness hime...

My main fleet

Maya with AACI + steam engine
Shoukaku Kai ni B full reppu with Saiun
Fusou/Haruna/Nagato/Mutsu with at least 41cm/proto41cm/380mm kai/46cm tiple/16cmMK7 DA setup with Type 91 AP + 6 improvement

Esccort fleet

KTKM + Ooi => Hyoteki with torpe cut in
Hatsushimo + Poi => triple torp cut-in
ABKM => Searchlight + StarShell + Night recon plane
Choukai => Triple TOrp cut in with Skilled Lookouts

Still cant even sunk other 3 hime T_T||||

Accidentally Cleared E3-HARD? ZOMG thats the blessing of RNG-goddess~

Graf definitely.

Similar situation here... till now cant cleared E3-HARD... will switch to medium if cant clear by today...

Similar situation here... till now cant cleared E3-HARD... will switch to medium if cant clear by today...

TP bar is super easy for me... 6 runs settle before facing this hellish 4-hime...

Finally E-3-HARD cleared. I was so hopeless when all my main fleet ships cant event chuuha the other 3 HIME... and my KTKM was taiha'ed during Closing Torpedo phase.

My Haruna dealt 46++ damage, useless as usual
My Shigure dealt the most imba damage ==> 396, INSTAGIB-ed the CA-hime(not even shouha during Day)... unlike someone mentioned rolling from 146 - 270 damage against 208 armor CA-hime...
Luckily I never follow a particular TTK's advice here, and I am still insist to hold on all the high-luck DDs/CLT/BB and done critical damage with Night recon Contact.

Sometimes too much maths on paper will limit all your waifus potential. Using example like 3 X +9 quint Torps is so unrealistic and useless advice for most TTKs here. My shigure only has these:(of course Night Recon plane + Search Light + Star Shell are must to increase the odds)

Tips: 3rd torp on DD add negligible damage to Yasen cut-ins...
