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

  1. Combined Fleet (E-3 and E-5)
  2. Choosable difficulty
    • This event has 3 ranks: easy (丙), normal (乙), hard (甲).
    • Different difficulties give different medals, equipment and materials when clearing the maps.
      • Ships rewards (U-511, Katori and Amagi) will appear regardless of the difficulty.
    • Difficulties probably affect drop rates, but ships still drop in any difficulty.
    • When the difficulty is changed, the boss's health bar will be reset.
    • Once the map is cleared (boss HP bar is depleted and killed), you CANNOT go back and change the difficulty. 
  3. There is no ship locking for this event.
  4. The boss HP gauges does not regenerate over time in any map in any difficulty.
  5. Support Expeditions are available. Expedition 141 Focuses on Support for Normal Nodes, Whereas Expedition 142 Focuses Support on Boss Nodes. The Expeditions DO REQUIRE that you have 2 DDs in your fleet. Do take note that their expeditions will end early after you finish one sortie, so try to make the most use out of them.

Tips

  • 4 FBB + 1 CV + Akitsumaru (1st fleet) and 1 CL + 1 CLT + 4 DD (2nd fleet) will go either A->B->F->H->K or C->E->F->H->K (random). 4 battles total either way.
