Summer 2014 Event

__NOWYSIWYG__ The Summer 2014 event has started on August 8^th and is scheduled to last for about 20 days.

Map Details

Ships with AL badge

• AL is designed to be completable by newer players.
  • Low level TTK will encounter easier enemies, but need more number of time to sink boss (likely 9-10 time compare to high level TTK need to sink boss only 6 time).
• This event is "Two-front war". Ships that were sent on AL-operation area (E-1 and E-2), cannot join sorties on MI-operation area (E-3 onwards).
  • Ships who have participated in AL cannot participate in MI.
  • Equipment can be shared across ships
  • Advice is to have high-levelled CV with solid escort ships.
• In order to send fleets to the event, you must have 5 free ship spaces and 20 free equipment spaces.
• All maps bosses HP-based. When you damage a boss, even when not killing it, the gauge will decrease accordingly. The full gauge is about 6 full kills in amount.
  • The boss ship must be sunk in the end of the gauge to clear the map. Damaging it to zero gauge but not sinking the boss (top ship of enemy fleet) will not clear it yet.
• There is no boss gauge health regeneration.

Event World

E-1

Advance to the northern AL area! 北方AL海域へ進出せよ！ Information Boss: (Node K) Heavy Cruiser Ri-Class Kai Nodes B and H are night battles Rewards New ship,Harusame Cash-only furniture token
Branching rules All posted branching rules, as of posting, are VERY tentative. Use at your own risk. ( 2 CVL required, northern route requires CV(?), no more than 2 Fast BB, no more than 1 Slow BB(?) ) 1x Fast BB, 3 CA, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss 2x Fast BB, CA, DD, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss 2x CA, DD, Fast BB, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss CA, DD, CL, BBV, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss 2x CA, 2x BBV, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss 4x CA, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss 2x CA, 2x DD, 2x CVL takes northern route to boss 2x CAV, CL, DD, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss LOS more than 300 (?)
Tips 2nd node on south route is Night battle. Night Battle equipment may help, however, a common formation includes 2 powerful enemies that rely on Double Attacks that cannot be mitigated with Night Battle gear. 1st node has a troll submarine. If using CLT fleet, go line ahead and hope to kill everything else quickly. If not, suggest bringing CL as flag with sonars to sink it fast and focus the rest of the trash. Map requires LOS to go to boss, which scales with TTK level. Looks to be approx 450 LOS for 100+ TTK. If you decide for northern route, have at least 150 FP for air superiority and stock some night battle equipment for the B node. Doing damage to the boss without sinking it DOES decrease the boss bar. Double Line is recommended to A node with elite sub, and Echelon with night battle equipments such as searchlight, Night Scout plane, and star shells is recommended in B/H node with Flagship Ru.

E-2

Diversionary tactics! Wreck the northern harbour! 陽動作戦！北方港湾を叩け！ Information Boss: Northern Princess (北方棲姫) Reward New ship, Ooyodo Emergency Repair Medal
Branching rules If you have 1+ CV, BB or BBV go to A? If you have 2 CA or CAV, 2 DD, 2 CVL go to C?
