I used Prinz with her main gun, +6 Quintuple, +3 Sextuple, Skilled lookout in FS position with 97 morale. TCI with 86 damage :)
Jintsu with 2 x +6 20.3(3) double tap the boss with 100+ damage to kill her.

I think it based on your luck. Just need to keep on trying and eventually the boss will die.

I am being trolled by E2 Easy. God damnit.
Which part? The subs or the Nu kai?
 
welp. e4 not cleared yet and I wont have access to my laptop until next Tuesday. for some reason android ver. are in infinite loading mode, so cannot do expeditions in the mean time :|

Bah E7N node G is problematic for TCF. I want to a rank node P lol.

Ouch.
For android, give it some time. It should load afterwards. Maybe the server is hammered.
My android one won't work now as my VPN just expired. Need to renew before I can play in android again.

Debuff/post cap effect and short route unlocked!

Onto actually clearing E7H boss!
Nice. Good luck in clearing E7H.
I'd try that if I don't need to farm Graf at the boss, but nah... maybe next time. Rewards also not too tempting. I also have difficulty in Normal mode lol.

Neither. Node L keeps taiha'ing Ryuujou at level 70 from full health.

Well, there's Nu kai right there :)
Put her as FS, should reduce the taiha chance. You're using "1 FBB 1 CV 1 CVL 1 CL 2 DD" formation?

EDIT:

DONE E7N!!!
Phew. I could rest a bit. Time to look for Graf next... Hopefully she drops soon.

E4H was so stupid. TCI didn't activate, TCI activate but didn't kill, etc etc.

Then I go into night battle with two TCI ships disabled and what happens? AKBM 100 damage TCI then Choukai double attack for 250 damage??????????

This game really does fit the definition of insanity. :p

Cleanup Operation begins where admirals try to get rare ships.
Graf Zeppelin, Umikaze, Arashi, Hagikaze.

EDIT: Bah, Urakaze twice in a row at E7 boss node...
EDIT2: Got her. Finally I got her. After 2 years playing, the ship has arrived. Now one ship left to farm. Umikaze, here I come...
EDIT3: Umikaze arrived. Event done.

Thanks! I'm just doing for the epeen medal. :p
o7

Yeah I am, I did it first time but now I'm on last dance.
IOn last dance, I used both node and boss support. Yeah that node is cancer.

Congrats on the French BB. She's good. Brought her to E7N for farming and leveling. So far, she could deal lots of damage and get MVP even at level 11.

nope. not because of server getting hammered. i think i know why it happened but not having access to pc + slow mobile net means i can't fix it.
oh well another summer event where i'll miss hard medal. can't wait for summer 2019 where it'll happen again

Went back to my parents house for a few weeks. 1 Mbps Internet speed does sucks lol, but better than my in-law house which need to go out from house just to get the Internet signal. Lucky I finished the event first.

I really hope I at least get Ark Royal. I have 2 more weeks right?
Yep 2 more weeks. Easy should be doable if you have enough resources, as E6 does take a while to finish thanks to large TP bar numbers even on easy.

Attempting to do E7H. 31 sorties and haven't even gotten to the boss yet. Only gotten to the pre-boss node once.
Wow, sounds like a nightmare indeed. At least you're able to debuff the boss and preboss already. Good luck :)

My replay from E6H LD and E7N LD. Should have fleet composition, equips and LBAS.
Ah neat. Too bad I don't like KC3 Kai, it'd be nice to have a log of everything. lol

Did you do the E6 debuff? I'm not sure what to use for the transport fleet to get the debuff again. Probably a modified version of the STF I'm using, but I guess I can't have a BB anymore.

9/11... tanakapls
lol
Also that feels like ages from now... more than enough time to finish at least.

You can disable most of the things and keep the log only :)

Yes I did the debuff on E6. Node H (only A rank needed) and Node O (S rank needed)
Also E7N node P (Only A rank needed) debuff. R is straight forward.

E7N - Easy if you clear others on hard. I could even farm Graf post clear on normal difficulty. No need for LBAS on boss node to secure S rank, no need node / boss support and only boss support used on LD. Heck, I scored S rank on LD with 2 ships in escort fleet were sent back to base using FCF.

You might want to try clear it on hard. I did normal because I want to farm Graf.

Naw, I wouldn't mind, but seeing enough people suffer through it or beating it with AO gimmicks and goddesses is enough for me to just let it go. lol

for example, Daxyn has been stuck on it for 8 days and is out of resources.

Oh to debuff P node after unlocking the shortcuts, did you have to switch to TCF to reach P? People on discord are saying you don't, but I think they're just talking shit. lol

Yes, I switched to TCF to debuff P. There's talk about using STF but I dunno the rule. Just TCF and pray lol.

RIP.

So for E7 you didn't send any LBAS to boss and only used boss support? Is the RNG to reach the boss that bad?

The RNG was bad on first 2 nodes. Later nodes are easy. Once you pass the first two node (destroyer hime, submarine hime), you're kind of guaranteed to reach boss. I used FCF because of those two nodes.

I didn't send LBAS to boss node coz it's not needed at all lol. Better to use on previous nodes. Furthermore, it requires range of 9. I have planes that can reach that, but no fighter have that kind of range, so I just ignore that node and send them to preboss. G with full LBAS bombers, Q with 2xLBAS fighters + 2xLBAS bombers, T with full LBAS bombers.

BTW, I kinda glad doing all hard on previous event(Spring 2017). Those Hayabusa LBAS fighters are awesome.

I got really luck and managed to A rank P even with 3 PT Imps alive. I forgot how bad they are because of their stupid evasion.

Taitei helps bring the fighters to the boss at least. lol

Does the boss get super strong at LD? I see people drop the OASW stuff for TCI in their comps.

Event officially over. I got my last ship that I really want. Umikaze just dropped.

Shiratsuyu and Kai Shiratsuyu class complete :)

I don't see any need to bring LBAS to boss. Your CTF is way OP already. 3CVB with one good CV is all you need. I even used Ark Royal and Richelieu in their teens to farm Graf post clear with no problem lol. I dropped one OASW ship from 3 to 2 on the last dance since I need to bring CA for carrying star shell and night recon. No need to remove all your OASW. KTKM + Ooi DA are good enough for NB.

Did you go back to farm E2 on hard? How was it? lol

And jeez, E7N is really easy... I'm glad it's all done!

Yep, went back to E2H to farm her :)
Not bad but with the requirement of 3DD + 1 AV + only a FBB or a CV(L), it's quite a gamble to reach Q node. Plus side is that no enemy CV and single fleet.12 sorties, 6 reached the Q node and got Umikaze on the last one. Not bad at all lol.

Congrats on clearing E7N. Told you it was easy.

Oh you farmed Q instead of O? Does Q count as a boss to have a guaranteed drop?

Yeah, the hardest part really did end up being the debuff. PTSD boats indeed...!

Yeah Q node and no, it's not a guaranteed drop node. I can't find Umikaze on O node in poi DB tho so I just go to Q where it has 3% drop chance on hard. All I wanted is her so I just run E2H Q node a couple of times per day. Lucky she drops so soon.

The difficulty gap between normal and hard is so big for E7 and easy to normal gap is quite close. So it's better to go medium for extra screws and medal.

Sorting a fast AV seems annoying since who has a leveled Chitose/Chiyoda. lol

I do :)
Chitose is 76. Chiyoda (dupe) is 42. Original Chiyoda would be the same level of Chitose if I didn't changed her to CVL a few events back. Chitose CVL 404.

My highest leveled AV is Akitsushima tho at level 83. I dunno, I just like her and used her on 1-5 exclusively.

Kinda annoying that all new AV are slow. They are actually nice ship type. They are easy to sparkle and best daihatsu mule to send to expeditions(as they are very easy to sparkle compared to DD).

Post event plan:
  • Rescolle 70k fuel, 30k ammo, 50k steel, 30k bauxite and 400 buckets
  • CVL Suzuya as her dupe is at acceptable level now and clear her quest
  • Kai all new ships Ark Royal, Richelieu, Graf Zeppelin, Luigi, Hiyou(lol)
  • Kai Ni all Kai Ni able DDs: Hatsuharu, Ushio, Murakumo
  • Clear that Zuiun (634 air group) quest.

Night fighters (F6F-5N and F6F-3N) have been given out to the top 500 rankers on each server. The devs said that their usefulness will be demonstrated with the next patch.

So Saratoga Kai Ni all but confirmed... and perhaps the next event will be US based and allow casuals who don't rank to actually get them.

I think we will get them as event rewards considering that's how it was with Iowa's 16 inch guns (ie. being her default equipment and getting her as reward for Spring 2016 E7).

The fighter stats are not that good... No torpedo stats but with ASW stat. Most probably another not so useful gimmick lol.
Those planes probably comes with quests, where having Sara KN as flagship and S rank some boss nodes... I don't think these will be event rewards as event just over and next one is 3 months apart.

I feel like they'll save Iowa for the next America themed event, given how they basically threw in every single European ship in this event.

lol farmed for Umikaze because why not and after many runs of being sent back, I got her. I think that's Kandex complete, but I'm too lazy to check.

Maybe next event. Drop alongside Sara. She won't be LSC ship coz of her rare guns.

Congrats :)
She's a nice ship. Time to buy another ship slot lol.

Funny thing, there are some notable gaps in the middle of the Kandex. I guess they had many ships planned out in advance and just skipped several (DDs I assume).
