Introduction

This article is meant to be a brief primer to get you started on preparing for Events. Please refer to the main articles in each section for more in-depth help. Generally, Admirals should be ready to tackle Casual difficulty after about 2-4 weeks of play.

General Tips

There is no need to rush the event. C2 gives plenty of time for people to complete the event.
If your fleet is struggling, you can wait for the Friend Fleets to arrive. These generally make the event easier.
- FFs may not be implemented for every map.
- Some FFs may be added late into the event.
It is good to set your event targets early to prepare your fleets. For example:
- Do you want to just finish the event?
- Do you want to earn all the new girls?
- Do you want to farm maps to complete your collection?
- Do you want certain equipment rewards?
Newer Admirals may want to put off starting the event until at least the Extra Operations are released. This allows the frontliners to tease out the optimal strategies.

Mechanics

Participation requirements

Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
Must have 20 free equipment slots.

Special Mechanics

The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium), Operation C (丙, Easy) or Operation D (丁, Casual) .
- Choosing Hard or Normal requires a certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
- When switching from any "lower" difficulty to any "higher" difficulty, the map will fully be reset.
- When switching from any "higher" difficulty to any "lower" difficulty, the map will stay in the very same state it was previously, with only +25% of TP/HP being reset on the current phase's TP/HP bar.

Beginning with the second map, difficulty progression rules apply.
- In order to play a map on Hard difficulty, the prior map must have been completed on either Normal or Hard.
- e.g., to do E-2 on hard, you must have completed E-1 on normal or hard.

To simulate simultaneity of battles in different locations, Fleet Tags conditions & deployment restrictions are employed.
- Ships not already color-tagged will be tagged with the color associated with a map or map's phase when deployed. This tag will be applied regardless of the difficulty and can't be removed by any measure before the end of the event.
- One map can use multiple tags, usually separated by phases or fleets.
- Several maps can share one or more tags.
- On Normal or Hard difficulty, ships must have either the same-colored tag as the map/phase being deployed to, or no tag at all.
  - This requirement is sometimes waived on certain maps, mostly on the last map of the event where tags only matter on Hard, or on post-clear.

The Combined Fleet (CF), a fleet assembling both your 1st and 2nd fleets, may come back.
- The CF is only available for your 1st and 2nd fleets, where the 2nd fleet can be merged with the 1st one in the Fleet menu.
- The CF cannot be used in anything outside of event sorties.
- 3 different types of CF are available, depending on the map requirements and your current fleet setup.
- CF with a flagship that carries a the Fleet Command Facility, will be able to make use of the Ship Evacuation mechanic.
  - The evacuation requires an escort destroyer.
  - The evacuation consumes the ships' entire fuel & ammo reserves.
  - Only one ship can be evacuated per battle.

The Striking Force Fleet (SF), a fleet with seven ships, may come back.
- The SF is only available for your 3rd fleet, where an extra 7th ship can be added in the Fleet menu.
- The SF cannot be used in anything outside of event sorties.
- A SF with a flagship that carries a the Striking Force Fleet Command Facility, will be able to make use of the Single Ship Evacuation mechanic.
  - The new Striking Force Fleet Command Facility will become obtainable and useable via quest F64.
    - Note that the quest will consume the Fleet Command Facility and 2 Action Report in order to convert it into the new Striking Force Fleet Command Facility.
    - The evacuation does not require an escort destroyer.
    - The evacuation consumes the ship's entire fuel & ammo reserves.
    - Only one ship can be evacuated per battle.
    - The damage the ship suffered may become worse during the evacuation, but she will never sink.

Returning this event, the Vanguard Formation can be used.
- This formation will organize the fleet such that the 2 to 3 last ships protect the 2 to 4 firsts ships of the Fleet.
- This formation is available for single and strike force fleets made of 4 to 7 ships.
  - The formation makes ships more evasive in combat, especially with well-trained Destroyers.
  - This formation is available only during the duration of the event, on the event's maps as well as on the regular maps.

NPC Friendly Fleets (FF) may be introduced to the event.
- FFs act as another unit that appears in particular battles to help aid your fleet when attacking the enemy.
- If you want help from a FF, you may activate them via the "Friendly Fleet" button in the main menu
  - If activated, one FF is randomly selected from a preset list of fleets to help your fleet.
  - Depending on who is in your fleet influence which FF can help you, excluding the FFs containing ships you also have in your main fleet.
  - The FF will appear at the start of either day or night battle, depending on the node.
- FFs are usually available sometime after the start of the event, to help Admirals facing difficulties clearing the maps.

Completion Gimmicks are returning, asking you to accomplish certain requirements on a given map to unlock several things :
- Boss debuff, from Summer 2015 Event's final map, where once you reach the "Last Dance" of the final boss of a given map, you can unlock its debuffed form.
- Map phases, where some map areas need to be unlocked, like on 7-2 and 7-3.
  - Map areas can either be a path to the next boss, an intermediate path asking for new gimmicks, or a shortcut.

Enemy Radar Ambush Nodes have been introduced into the game.
- Entering this node will result in your fleet facing off against an enemy fleet that will ambush and attack your fleet
  - Your Fleet will not be able to fight against the enemy Fleet.
  - By meeting certain conditions, you can evade these nodes.

Emergency Anchorage Maintenance/Repairs 緊急泊地修理】
- Both Akashi Kai and Akitsushima Kai will be capable of conducting emergency repairs; however, Akitsushima has more limited capabilities compared to Akashi.
- See under Emergency Anchorage Repairs for details.

High-Altitude Abyssal Bombers that are resistant to all types of interceptors other than the Land-based rocket interceptors

may also return this event.

Arctic Gear & Deck Personnel were introduced during the Fall 2020 Event, and need to be equipped on CV(L) to sortie them on "arctic" maps.

Fleet Preparation

Main page: Help:Ship Priority

The bare minimum fleet required to clear an event on Casual/Easy is 7DD 1CL 3CA/V 4FBB 2CV 2CVL. This covers all Combined Fleet compositions but does not have the capacity to deal with ship locking. Thus if you intend to complete an event on Medium/Hard, you will either need substitutes or duplicates. Refer to the main article for more details on high-tier ship girls to help you determine who to focus on.

As a general rule of thumb, the minimum requirements for girls should be:
- Casual: Max modernisation
- Easy: Base remodel, max modernization
New Admirals should not bother with trying to preemptively level girls for potential historical routing/bonuses.
- Many of these girls are just average and it is ill-advised to waste your time and resources on speculation.
- All-round high-tier girls will still serve you well through brute force.
While the bare minimum amount of DD for a TCF is 7, you can just focus on 3 strong ones to start off with.
- Only the 3DDs in the TCF escort will be doing the bulk of the fighting.
Having one of the CVLs be Zuihou Kai Ni B will be useful for supporting a TCF.
CAVs are generally only useful in events if you have the SPFs to back them up. Otherwise, leveling powerful combat CAs would be better.

As a general rule of thumb, your girls should be level 60-70+ before attempting Medium. Ideally, they should have their Kai Ni as well.
- At this difficulty, you will want to begin luckmodding your cut-in girls.
You will need to take into consideration ship locking when planning your event fleet. The amount of substitutes or duplicates you will require vary from event to event. As a general rule of thumb:
- Small (3 maps):
- Medium (4-5 maps):
- Large (6+ maps):
You should not be bothering trying to preemptively level girls for potential historical routing/bonuses. Unless you have already built up your core fleet.
You want a wider array of ship types to meet the routing requirements and strategies.
- BBV, CAV, CVE, AV, DE, SS
- Specialised DD: anti-installation, Daihatsu carrier, OASW, AACI
Having the Big 7 (Nagato, Mutsu, Nelson) is nice but not necessary.

As a general rule of thumb, your girls should be Kai Ni before attempting hard. For those without a Kai Ni, they should be decently leveled and be maxed modernized.
- Luckmodding your girls for a wider selection of cut-in ships is highly recommended
- Having a few key girls (even HP, low armour) HP modded is advised too.
Similar to Medium, you will need plenty of substitutes and duplicates to account for ship locking.
You should not be bothering trying to preemptively level girls for potential historical routing/bonuses. Unless you have already built up your core fleet.

Equipment Preparation

Main pages: Help:Equipment Setup and Help:Akashi Upgrades

To start off, you will want a core set of equipment that can be used across a wide variety of girls. Said equipment should also be upgraded if you can manage it. Utility and specialized equipment aren't strictly necessary until harder difficulties.

Key equipment should be upgraded to at least ★+1. Refer to the main article on Akashi Upgrades for priorities.

Small Caliber High Angle x6
Medium Caliber Main Gun x8
35.6cm Twin Gun Mount x4
41cm Twin Gun Mount x4
Reconnaissance Seaplane x7
Type 96 Land Attacker x6-8
Torpedo Bombers x2
Dive Bombers x2

Saiun
Type 91 Armor-Piercing (AP) Shell x4
Type 3 Shell x3
Torpedoes x6
Type 3 Depth Charge x2
Type 3 SONAR x4
Type A Ko-hyoteki x2

Equipment should be at least ★+4-6.

10cm Twin High-angle Mount + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director x6
20.3cm(no.2) Twin Gun Mount x6
20.3cm(no.3) Twin Gun Mount x6
Prototype 35.6cm Triple Gun Mount x4

Tanks x2
Landing Craft x8 (At least 2 T89 to pair with the tanks)
Star Shell x1

Equipment listed here is meant for optimizing strategies on top of the ones recommended for Medium. Beyond having the recommended Medium equipment at ★+10, you will be wanting event-only and/or high-end equipment from quests/improvement. Your equipment should be a minimum of ★+6. You can start expanding your equipment collection to include niche equipment such as for fit bonuses. Leveling dupe girls for rare equipment is also a good idea. In addition to most things under Medium difficulty, you may want:

Resource Stockpiling

Main page: Help:Resource Farming

As a general rule, you do not need a stockpile of primary resources () in order to clear the event. Event periods are long enough to clear on your intended difficulty with natural regeneration. Stockpiling primary resources is still a good idea if you intend to do a lot of farming for rare event-only girls. Fuel and steel will be the most used resource followed by ammo. Bauxite use can vary wildly depending on enemy anti-air strength and LBAS utilization. It is also necessary for frontlining, but that is beyond the scope of this article. Therefore, you should not neglect leveling your girls and improving your equipment to stockpile.

You will need a decent stockpile of buckets and flamethrowers . These resources are used liberally throughout the event and are relatively difficult to get in mass quantity during the limited event period.

Refer to the main article on resource farming for details on how you go about farming the necessary resources.

The minimum recommended stockpiles noted in this section are for clearing and farming a large-scale event. This is just the worst-case scenario, smaller-scale events will use fewer resources. Resource use can also vary depending on the preparedness of your fleet. Attempting to "punch above your weight" can result in a significantly higher resource drain. In addition, it is important to note that farming for returning event girls can result in much greater resource loss depending on drop luck.

Information Sources

It is not necessary to know the primary sources of event information. Nearly all sources require knowing Japanese in order to get anything out of it. The staff on the Wiki will be compiling information on the sandbox page for each event map.

An example link is: https://en.kancollewiki.net/Sandbox/Summer_2019_E-1. Simply change the event name and map to the appropriate event.

Disclaimer: Information on sandbox pages is constantly in flux as more information becomes known. Keep an eye on the main event page for the completed map guides.
