Just finish first boss of E5 hard yesterday

this is what i use for final kill:

LBAS: 1 ASW node B, 1 green 3 bomber for other 2 base all aim boss

Not much issue for this first boss...
but i was using nagato + mutsu and i put iowa in escort fleet and until final kill, even i use all 3 LBAS at boss and boss support expedition also cannot finish the boss

until i use iowa at main fleet, then finish the boss and not even need any support expedition

and here i already wasted about 30k of fuel and about 20k for other resources
maybe no need waste so much if i use iowa at main fleet...


For unlock, yesterday also go the the node V with transport combine fleet

this is my fleet to node V:

LBAS: 1 ASW node B, 1 green 3 bomber node H, 1 green 3 bomber node L
I use normal support expedition as well

used 3 repair team, 0 repair godness


Can also use engine instead of repair team, and LBAS can also use for node H, L, N instead of sub node...

Hyuuga and Ise may better here but i already used 1 of them at E2...

I also try use zuiun before, can also L -> N, but i do not see zuiun do anything good and switch to seaplane fighter for better air power...


still not done G, F and X... but i think X should be easier than the node V...

Just finish E5 hard
No nagato touch, night battle do not have powerful friend fleet
but thanks to kasumi and samuel b roberts cut in aim the boss




this is the fleet that finish the final boss, both support expedition as well:


LBAS:


Choose to not use akagi for the friend fleet...
Nagato for flagship instead of mutsu because most of the time when mutsu as flagship, no touch activate


Resources check:
start final kill about 150k of fuel, now only about 100k remain


Found all new shipgirls from this event
other than that, some other nice shipgirls i found from this event:
yamato, akitsushima, gambier bay, mizuho, souryu, hiryuu


Good luck for everyone who still stuck at this event, may RNG at your side

yeah, i also need to train some level for my clone ship as well

kind of miss the old 3-2A...

Any good map / node to train BB / CV / AV / SS / DD / DE other than 5-2C or 5-3P or 7-1?

DD can go 4-5, 7-1 or 5-5B

BB/CV maybe can go 3-5B or 6-2B? but need bauxite and repair...

I do miss the old 4-3, can train one or more DD/CL

i see... Thanks for sharing
i was using the 7-1 or 5-3P but cannot use slow bb or CV...

maybe i try 3-5B or 6-2B for my colorado

Anyone know how to do the monthly expedition?

Last month i finish the monthly expedition but this month it lock again...

Could it be use back same way to unlock the monthly expedition

Usually monthly/quarterly quests unlock by done weekly/daily quests first.

i see... Thanks

oh wait... i use the wrong word... it is expedition, not quest

let me edit my post

lol
I'm also not do that yet

Busy recovering resources over do monthly expe

Last month i quickly do it because it is almost end of the month and one of the monthly expedition got big amount of fuel (i think steel also have)

Just done E1 hard

This is my fleet that finish the boss:


LBAS 1 green 3 bomber all aim boss


For unlock, i use 1CL 4DD 1CVL for all 3 nodes other than node D
For node D, i use 1CL 4DD

all 4 unlock i use 4 bomber for LBAS and all aim at the node that before the A,D,K,L


No major issue here, 4 run finish the 4 node to unlock, then only 1 run fail to finish the boss
final kill 1 run to finish the boss
i was thinking to try 2CVL or 1SSV but luckily my LBAS do their job, finish most of the enemies at opening, and richelieu finish the boss at night

for anyone who not use richelieu, 2CVL and / or 1SSV may make it easier to finish the boss


For route, i choose top route, go thru a SS node before reach boss... luckily never need to retreat from the SS node


Start this event at cap resources, this is what remain after finish E1:

I probably have 5 rounds of the boss remain 2 digit hp like this in E2 last kill
torpedo cut in just 2 digit damage




but anyway, just finish the E2 Hard
(first time i try gif )



Here is fleet that i used:

E2 P1:


E2 P2 last kill:



resources:
start with 300k / 3000 bucket resources, this is after finish P1:


and this is after P2 (mostly wasted on final kill)



for P1, not much issue, just a few retreat run at final kill

for P2, i was using nagato mutsu ark royal mogami mikuma kamoi (escort is same as my last kill)
no issue before final kill, only 2 run fail to kill boss
start to fail kill the boss at final kill, try different equipment / shipgirl, but fast fleet and go thru sub node is much better than nagato mutsu slow fleet
maybe need hayasui for refill but i do not use my hayasui yet


-maybe tama is better in E2, i plan to keep tama at E3, i choose tatsuta, which make me have some hard time at P2 last kill

-don't use kamoi like me in E2 last kill, i only because do not want to lock any other shipgirls in E2

-it seems aquila have higher bonus in E2, but i already start E2 with ark royal

-support expedition for E2 P2 last kill: i found not much difference for normal support, maybe good if choose to go pt imp node instead of sub node
after i have some retreat even with normal support, decide to only use boss support


New shipgirl: only found the new italian dd and one ark royal


For now, need to raise some >> and digest the information of E3, seems like a lot of unlock / debuff to do in E3
Good luck for all who still stuck at last boss, and yeah, my ooi, ktkm and prinz are duplicate

E3 hard done

Part 1:


Part 2:



For those unlock in between part 1 and part 2, and also debuff for last boss last kill, can refer to wiki as it need to go quite a lot of nodes / air defense
I use this for LBAS AS air defense:



My resources after finish E3 last boss:



Some nice drop from E3: etorofu, aquila, jervis, amatsukaze

Since not much chance for saratoga to do night battle, maybe black version of saratoga is better than the white

For me, i would say E2 last kill is much more harder than E3 last kill, E2 last kill probably the hardest for this event
friendly fleet in E3 are much more powerful than E2, the nissin from friendly fleet can double attack, and one hit 1500+ damage to the correct boss
and also E2 i need to use support expedition, but E3 i no need support expedition
just a bit troublesome to do the unlock / debuff, but not much retreat / fail when i do all the unlock / debuff

For new shipgirl, only missing mikura
maybe i go back E1 / E2 and look for her


As usual, good luck for those still doing the event

You guys think they might be doing a new game to replace the old one? Been waiting for a while now lol

hentai ?

I guess in here probably i the only one who still do this event...


Anyway, just finish this event


Never expect to finish the boss since nelson and hiel already orange hp when at boss node, no nelson touch
Thanks to ooi and poi aim boss, just double attack and poi finish the boss



I do hard for all the map, only E5 i do normal


and Happy New Year for everyone
