Event Overview

(1/5) While more than 85% of survey participants cleared the event, there has been a significant amount of people who have not reached their own set goals for this event (36%). The official clear rate this Event was said to be 73% this event, so keep a surveybase with higher engagement than the regular playerbase in mind when reading this evaluation.
(2/5)Mirroring official clear rates the most commonly picked difficulty on all maps was hard except for E2. E2 seemed to be the map that would have the biggest relative increase of people not finishing the event.
(3/5)The rewards were mostly perceived as adequate, except for E2 being perceived as too much effort for them. Furthermore, certain dissatifaction was visible on E6 too.
(4/5)Friend FLeets have been used by 83% of players, most noteably starting from E2. Since MO Friend Fleets arrived before EO Friend Fleets this event a better question may have been on how many maps FFs got used, rather than starting from which map.
(5/5)The event would accrue a rating of 5.6, putting it between the Hishimochi Event (4.7) and Fall/Winter 2020 (5.8)

Newcomer Review

(1/3) Out of the new girls in the Event, it aws a close race for Heywood L. Edwards and Tuscaloosa in terms of popularity. With the exception of Noumi the rest was quite closesly grouped together at similar popularity.
(2/3) When it came to assessing the usefulness in upcoming content, Momochi as an anti-installation specialist would take the first spot, followed up by HLE and her Fletcher-Class features.
(3/3) As usual, the guaranteed reward ships have been acquired by most survey participants. In terms of ships that needed to be dropped, the acquisition rate hovered around 70%

(1/1) A close race between the Heavy Cruiser Princess and The Remodeled Cargo Princess. The final boss of this event would not enjoy the same popularity as her goons however.

(Touch) Girls und Submarine Combat

(1/4) Most Players would be utilizing Yamato-Class-Special Attacks on E2P3, regardless of difficulty
(2/4) On E5P3 Nagato-Class use would be more significant than Yamato-Class, except for Hard Mode players who would be more likely to deploy a (duplicate) Yamato-Class on this map. This was not specifically asked for, but the data has been obtained by checking for Yamato-Class use on both E2P3 and E5P3 on medium and above.
(3/4) Most survey participants would opt to send their LBAS to the boss on E2P3
(4/4) While the fast fleet with submarines would be the most popular way to clear E6P4 overall, hard mode players were more inclined to go superheavy.
