In general, the event was one of the easier events—although, personally, not much can be said since it is our fleet's first KanColle event. There are a lot of says go into the second, E2, and the fourth map, E4, since they gave us the most troubles. E1 was a give-away map and E3 could be cleared easily, but not quite as farmable as E2 or E1.</div>

A pattern emerged from our map clear runs and Admiral took note of a few things.

* Second, the rest of the map on and after last dance (referring to the last boss kill needed to clear a map) appeared to prefer damaged and weak ships, while at boss Tsu-class and Destroyer princess preferred disabling ships, preventing closing torpedo and night battling. The exception to this rule happened when a heavily damaged ship was brought into a boss fight. Ships at boss would then prefer targeting and sinking the heavily damaged ship.

With these latest adjustments, the ships that get moderately/heavily damaged after E2 shifted from slot 2 [[Yukikaze]] (almost always), slot 3 [[Ayanami]], slot 6 [[Mochizuki]] to slot 3 [[Akatsuki]] (almost always), slot 4 [[Yayoi]] and slot 5 [[Mochizuki]] (at a lower frequency). With the help of carrier support expedition, full torpedo bomber planes sinking 2-3 ships consistently at low cost, the outcome is more S-rank victories, good enough to farm there for 4 days straight, and more tolerable repair timers (since weaker and lower-leveled ships are focused).

<div style="color:navyblue;background:lightgray;border:solid 1px lightgray;border-radius:10px;padding:10px;margin:20px;margin-top:-3px;margin-bottom:0px;">This map was serious business without [[Akitsu Maru]]. Southern route had a chance of going north, into the storm and to an extra pre-boss battle. The main problem with pre-boss south and boss itself was the formation: Diamond. Maximum flagship protection and with Late Model Destroyers as meat shields, first fleet had a lot of trouble hitting important targets. Even hitting the destroyers themselves was a challenge.
</div>

Only one Torpedo Cruiser could be deployed, least one must face yet another maelstrom node. Opening airstrike with Ryuusei Kai was rather impractical in this map due to high AA bonus of enemy formation. However, it helped greatly in two earlier nodes, especially Ru-class node.
 +
 
 +
Kaga with 1 wild card, 2 Reppuu and 1 Saiun was able to AS everywhere except pre-boss south against Wo-class flagship II. Extra fleet anti-air equipment helped against Wo-class' airstrike. Sparkling the first fleet would help, since they are capable of taking out annoying late model DDs if hit.
 +
 
 +
If hit...
 +
 
 +
In the end, it all came down to night battle to take down boss fleet. The goal of day battle was only to take out as many meat shield as possible so that second fleet could attack more important targets, such as the boss herself. There wasn't really any strategy for this map except for using 2x torpedo mount setup for the non-elite DDs.
 +
 
 +
In this case, their primary attack phase became the closing torpedo salvo, which hopefully would hit and take out any remaining late model DDs. Unlike shelling, torpedo salvos didn't seem to be affected by combined fleet penalty and thus had a high chance of hitting something. Not like non-elite DDs could do anything in shelling, besides, this gave the girls a chance to cut-in and deal some actual damage to armored targets in night battle.
 +
 
 +
Most of the bucket loss for this stage came from the first fleet, since they had low evasion and had to withstand two shelling phases from very powerful opponents. Ninjas for the second fleet! Ninjas!</div>
