Sortie Notes
Very much under construction!
| Map | Applicable | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 World 1-4
|
Bm3 - Deploy a Torpedo Squadron | [2 / 2] attempts using 3 CL + 3 DD. All attempts were sent south B-H-I to dead end J. [3 / 3] attempts using 1 CL + 5 DD. All attempts took one of the two northern routes so far. |
 World 1-5
|
Monthly Medal Bw10 - A-rank at the boss node 3x |
Recommended fleet order: CVL - Flag, BBV, DD/CL, DD/CL This setup will allow your weaker ASW ships to focus on trash, saving the enemy flag for your CL/DD attacking last. |
 World 3-3
|
Bw7 - Defeat 5 bosses in the Northern Sea | My currently preferred map for this weekly. Recommended: AS+ 243 (includes 6 buffer) |
 World 3-5
|
Monthly Medal Bw7 - Defeat 5 bosses in the Northern Sea |
South Route: CL + 5 DD (SPARKLE ALL) Ooyodo: 2 x 15.5 (red or yellow?) + 2 x type 0 observation = no LoS problems |
World 2-5 Battle plans for next month: (untested)
2 CAV + 2 DD + CLT + CVL for B-E-H-L path
Advantages: resource cheap, buckets cheap, supposedly no B-F dead ends, 2 pre boss nodes, avoids BWS and BRS
Disadvantages: light fleet, Ru node E, will need to pack saiun as light fleet will be weak against boss node.
Best CVL to bring is Ryuujou Kai Ni as she has the largest 2 slots that isn't Jun'you slow speed.
Recommend: 35 AS for first node. Ignoring AS+ as it's only one node

How to Prepare for Events
Development
I'm placing this first as it can't be emphasized enough: develop, develop, develop. You can begin developing good stuff at a low HQ of 20-30 and there's no reason why you shouldn't start early. A lot of events have Line of Sight (LoS) checks which are highly equipment based. Your carrier's default planes are also pretty crappy and can receive a massive upgrade with developed planes. Developing equipment will help you succeed in events and sorties so there's no reason why you shouldn't start now. The last thing you need to happen during an event is realizing that you are short X item and are burning resources developing an item that only has a 2% success chance. Following is a list of items that you should have developed before going into an event. You can research recipes here.
| Notes | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Type 3 Shell
|
The Type 3 Shell or Sanshiki a required staple now that there are installation type bosses. These land based enemies are immune to torpedos (but not torpedo bombers) and will take mostly scratch damage from your ships. The Type 3 Shell can be equipped on your BB/CA and will allow those ships to do increased damage to defeat these bosses. | ||
 Saiun
|
The Saiun (Iridescent Cloud) is used to prevent Red-T engagements which make it harder to S rank a boss. They also provide 9 LoS which is doubled in LoS calculations. Event maps are almost guaranteed to have LoS checks along the way and these will help you to meet those checks. | ||
 Reppu
|
The Reppuu (Strong Gale) is the best craftable +AA plane in the game and are incredibly valuable for securing air superiority. The Shiden Kai 2 is a close substitute if you aren't able to develop enough Reppuu (Strong Gale). | ||
| 100px46cm Triple Gun Mount | Now moving on to not required but good to have equipment, the 46cm Triple Gun Mount will help get your BB up to firepower cap while also providing additional AA cover. These can be hard to make so you might want to only start with a few. | ||
 Type 0 Obs. Seaplane
|
Not to be confused with the Type 0 Recon Seaplane which you have a million of, the Type 0 Observation Seaplane has better stats and is cheap to make, but is very rare. Besides the bonus stats, the +1 to LoS translates to +2 LoS in the LoS calculations. The more LoS the better when it comes to meeting LoS requirements during events. | ||
 Type 33 Surface Radar
|
The Type 33 Surface RADAR is the highest LoS radar that can fit on a DD. As DD cannot equip seaplanes to help with LoS checks, all they can do is equip small radars. These fit in nicely in their third slot should you need additional LoS. |
Fleet
The general rule of thumb is take 2 ships of each type and level them up. It pays to be versatile though. Focus on getting your ships to Kai status first and modernized, then gradually work your way to Kai Ni or higher levels. Leveling up your ships is important, but so is having the appropriate ships for branching rules which you won't know until the event has started. Don't neglect developing your equipment!
"Two ships good, four ships better!"
These are a few ships which I recommend leveling either for their unique abilities or for their equipment. Feel free to love/level whichever ships you want though.
| Ship | Notes |
|---|---|
 Yukikaze
|
With a cut-in setup and her 60 luck Yukikaze can one shot just about anything at the boss node during night battles. And since events tend to make you use DDs in branching rules... |
 Kitakami
|
Similar to Yukikaze with even more power but less luck, Kitakami is your ace in the hole for dishing out incredible amounts of damage through her torpedos during the day and her powerful double attacks or cut-ins at night. |
 Sendai
|
A great CL with unique equipment. The only source of the Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout), along with one of the two Star Shell in the game. Sendai's equipment will help make your night battle life just a little more bearable. |
 Ayanami
|
Good stats and the owner of the other Star Shell if you wanted to carry a second to reduce the number of times that these tend to fail. Unfortunately Ayanami has her Kai Ni level at 70. |
 Souryuu
|
You probably won't have Souryuu and Hiryuu if you are a newer TTK, but if you do get one it would be a good idea to level them up for their unique planes. The Tenzan Model 12 (Tomonaga Squadron) and Suisei (Comet) (Egusa Squadron) are the best blue and red bombers in the game. It does take quite a bit of work to both find them, level them to Kai Ni, and unlock the upgraded versions of their planes. |
 Kaga
|
With her massive 46 plane slot, Kaga is considered one of the best CV in the game. |
