Sandbox/Summer 2021 E-3
Sandbox Rules
This sandbox is to be used to construct an event guide for the above mentioned event map. These guides are to all of the following requirements:
- List of branching unlocking requirements (If there are multiple requirements, compositions for each path along with the below requirements will be needed to discuss the unlocking requirements in question)
- A list of working compositions that work: (These must have possible alternatives for players who may or may not have all ships needed for a specific path)
- The Path said composition will take (To explain what path the composition will take)
- A summary or description of what kind of obstacles a composition will face.
- A description of the boss node, what it consist and a descriptive guide on what the player should consider for a course of action to successfully win the battle.
- (Optional) Tips to farm to take path to collect certain ships (This will also require a composition, path, and possible description.
Editors are to construct their own version of their guide and complete them in a timely fashion.
No other editors are to allowed to edit over other editor's work without the full consent of the editor and his approval to do so.
Several version will be constructed through this page and will be reviewed and approved by the staff/ collaboration committee before being moved for the Summer 2020 Event which it'll be reviewed and updated once more before it can be released.
Overall there will be 3 versions of the guide that will be constructed which will include:
- Preliminary Guide
- Polished Guide
- Finalized Guide
With each approval of each version of the guide, the said guide will be updated to the main page, and construction of the next version will begin.
All guides outside of the approved version will be removed and work will begin from the approved version to make it better for the next version until the finalized version is made.
Projected deadline for Initial guide: September 10, 12:01 JST (May get extended by 1 day if massive delays occur)
Jiga's 1st take (feel free to edit it ^^)
Overview
Gibraltar Front Seas / Mediterranean / Malta Island Front Seas
Reinforcement Transport! Operation Pedestal
- This map uses 4 tags :
- There are 2 new "event quests" linked to this map.
- Node X (3rd starting point) is an Anchorage Repair node, using the Akashi/Akitsushima repair mechanic.
- All 3 LBAS are used on this map.
- Like for E2, the LBAS here will be moved for the final phase from Gibraltar to Malta for the final phase. This means that the Eastern/Final part of the map will become easier to reach, but also that the Western/Initial part will become way harder to reach, so keep this in mind before going farming in either part or the map, as well for cleaning the quests.
