Click that option circled in Red.
 
Un-highlighted = Current Difficulty. Pick new difficulty and click the right option to confirm change.

Special Mechanics

  1. Combined Fleet (E-3 and E-5)
  2. Line of Sight requirements on some (all?) maps.
  3. Selectable and Changeable difficulty
    • This event has 3 ranks: easy (丙), medium (乙), hard (甲).
    • You can choose the difficulty in each map separately.
    • 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.
  4. There is no ship locking for this event.
  5. The boss HP gauges does not regenerate over time in any map in any difficulty.
  6. 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.

Event Maps

E-1

Wreck the enemy submarines around our anchorage!
『泊地周辺の敵潜を叩け!』

  • Can only use CL and DD
  • Boss: (Node I) Submarine So-class Elite (甲)
    Final Form: (Node I) Submarine So-class Flagship (甲)
  • ASW
  • Nodes B, C, F, J and K have no battle

  • The Chocolate is exchangeable for some resources. You should keep it because it's cute.

Branching rules

  • Random between A and B
  • More than 1 CL or insufficient LOS will send you from H to G
  • LOS check from G to I
  • LOS check from H to I (Apparently requires more LOS than G to I)
  • LOS must 140 or higher

Tips

  • Have some surface equip ready for Node G, H, And possibly I to avoid Moderate to Severe damage
  • Fighting Sub-only nodes does not expend ammo
  • The submarines on node H are in line ahead formation. Use line abreast when attacking them.
  • Type 0 Recon Airplane is very usefull for increase LOS for node I
  • The boss BGM is 『吹雪』the ending theme of the anime


E-2

Bombing of Truk anchorage
『トラック泊地空襲』

Information

Branching rules

  • A fleet without DD/CL/CVL/Akitsumaru/Akashi will always end up at the dead end J
  • At least 2 DD/CL/CVL/Akitsumaru/Akashi OR 1 CV + 1 CVL(any combination) and not more than 1 CLT required to start with node A
  • 2 BBVs will send you to the maelstrom node
  • 1 CL, at least 3 DD, fast fleet, and and not more than two of (CL, CLT, CA (not CAV), BB, CV, empty slot) required to go from A to D, otherwise you go to F.
  • A fleet with at most 1 BB and at most 1 CV goes from F to G, otherwise it's H
  • LOS check from G/H to I
  • If you're having trouble getting to the boss, it's advisable to avoid starting at node B; fuel loss = higher chances to get hit

Tips

  • 2 FBB 2 CV 1 CL 1 DD
  • 3 FBB 2 CV 1 DD
  • 1 CLT 2BB 1 CV 1 CVL 1 DD (A-F-H-I)
  • 3 BB 2CV 1CVL (B-C-F-H-I)
  • 1 DD 1 CL 2CV 2FBB
  • 2 BB 1 CA 2CVL 1CV
  • 2CA(V) 2CL 2CV (Light Fleet Ver.)
  • 2FBB, 2CV, 2CVL
  • 2FBB, 1CAV, 1CA, 2CVL
  • 2FBB, 1CV, 1CVL, 1CA, 1CL
  • 2FBB, 2CV, 1CVL, 1DD
  • 2FBB, 2CV, 1CAV, 1DD
  • CLT can be taken, without 2CVL bound to going to maelstrom node
  • Akizuki (Kai), Fubuki (Kai Ni), Hatsushimo (Kai Ni), Ushio (Kai Ni) or Shigure (Kai Ni) for doing AA cut-in (especially in the boss node) due to their high AA stats, reduces chances of damage from Nu-class flagship and Wo-class flagship


E-3

Combined Fleet, sortie now!
『連合艦隊、出撃!』

Information

Branching rules

  • Having a CLT in second fleet will send you E to F.

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.
  • 2 FBB + 2 CAV + 2 CVL (1st fleet) and 1 CL + 1 CA + 4 DD (2nd fleet) will go C->E->H->K. This is only 3 battles total and is probably the shortest route to boss. Though there is a fuel maelstrom at E.
  • [Quick Response] - 2 FBB + 1 CAV + 3 CV (1st fleet) and 1 CL + 1 CA + 4 DD (2nd fleet) works pretty well if you have the ships supporting this composition. Goes A->B->F->H->K or C->E->F->H->K (random). Usually using top right formation (survive) until the boss node, then switch to bottom right (battle).
  • 2BB+1BBV+2CAV+CV (1st) 4DD+1CL+1CA (2nd) C->E->H->K Hard Mode
  • [Quick Response] - 1 BB 1 FBB 3 CV 1 CA (1st fleet) and 1 CL 1 CLT 3 DD 1 FBB (2nd fleet) will go A->B->F->H->K or C->E->F->H->K. There is a fuel maelstrom at node E.

Tips

  • Heavy AA on boss, using heavy AA CV's like Taihou or Kaga reccomended.

  • Recommended Formation:
    • 2 FBB 2DD 2CV.
    • 2BB 2DD 2CV (include a ship that's slow). Goes BFHJK consistently.
  • 2BB(slow) 2DD 1CV/CAV and Naka or Agano guarantees Southern route to Boss.
