Additional info
Special "Arpeggio" permanent furniture will be available for purchasing for the duration of the event. All Arpeggio ships are temporary and will only last for the duration of the event.
Level recommendation to conquer E-1, E-2, and E-3:
E-1 is really easy you can clear it with level ~20
E-2 although star is similar to 2-4, it is way harder than it seem. Prefer your fleet can hold 3 gravitation cannon shot. Level 50+
E-3 same as above, prefer your fleet can chunk as much damage as you can. Kongou is tanky as hell so 90% of the time you have to kill her in night battle.
Or you can clear E-1 E-2 and E-3 with a single submarine Iona or 4 submarines + Iona at any level. You don't need to use other ships at all.
