This post will be updated with confirmed information pertaining to map E-1 as it is spaded. The thread can also serve as a starting point for people to discuss the map if they want.

General Event Outline, Participation Requirements and Difficulty System

To participate in this event, you must have a sortie win rate of 75% or above. You also need at least 5 spare Kanmusu slots and 20 equipment slots. Completely depleting the health bar and therefore clearing the map will lock it in the chosen difficulty, it cannot be changed afterwards.









Please be aware that it is not possible to increase the difficulty between maps by more than one. As an example if you have cleared E-1 on "Easy" you will not be able to select "Hard" for E-2; only "Medium" will be available. However players will be able to choose "Hard" again for E-3 if you pick "Medium" on E-2 for this specific scenario. This does not affect the ability to decrease difficulty; players will still be able to choose "Easy" after clearing the previous map on "Hard".

Comments
Pretty much a give away map. Don't fall for Tanaka's attempt to bait 8 DesDiv here, they aren't necessary at all. Just use any common non-K2 DDs and CL (note that some common DDs might have historical bonuses in E3/4). Switch between the mix of WG42/Skilled Lookouts for 1st boss (Supply Hime+PT Imps), and surface radars/Seiran for 2nd boss (He-class Kai), no special tricks needed for the 2nd boss since it dies from a night DA. As a note, 3x (WG42 or T4 Rocket) on a DD can do 300+ damage to Supply Hime in day battle so you may also wish to use that setup.

You may wish to night battle at Node J if you don't get a S rank there as there are some interesting drops here like Matsuwa and Akitsushima. E1 2nd boss seems a good place to farm for kaiboukan since it's cheap, although 1-2 bucket a run, and pretty much guaranteed S with no LBAS costs at all.

I complete E-1 in Esay. Only 4DD and 1CL was necessary.

The first phase only cost me three runs. Fortunately, i has two WG42 and two mortars and then I put it on every DD. (Every hit does 60-100 damage)
The second phase. Out of the fact that appeared error-musume several times to me. I managed to complete it in about 10 runs. (Because i played it in easy then the He-class was elite)

The map was pretty fast. It Literally cost me only ONE bucket (with some slight damage).

As always I will try to pass E-2 in casual...

@NanashiYoukai Congratulations and thanks for the report as usual ^_^ !

Definitely a easy map for the most part , about half way thru the HP bar of the 2nd Phase Boss and just had Akizuki drop, thus completing my Duckies collection at long last :)

E1 Hard cleared!

Notable drops: Matsuwa

Part 1






Part 2

[silentcap]

E-1 Hard Cleared

Yahagi (lv51): 2x15.2cm main, Searchlight (+4)
Isonami (lv95): 2x10cmHA+FD (+3, max), T22 K4
Libeccio (lv78): 2x12.7cm Type-D, T22 K4 (Calibrated Late Model)
Kisaragi (lv99): 2x12.7cm Type-C, T33
Shirayuki (lv85): 2x130mm B-13 (+7, +6), T22 K4

This was for Part 2. The fleet for Part 1 is the same except all the DDs save for Kisaragi are armed with 1 main gun, 1 AA gun, and 1 Skilled Lookout. Kisaragi is loaded for anti-installation killing wile Yahagi is armed with a 15.2cm main gun, an AA gun, and a Skilled Lookout as well. I also used a boss support expedition to ensure that the boss in Part 2 is guaranteed dead.

@Ken G Did you just use three newly drops for E1 Hard? How was the passing rate?

[Ken G]

@kazenorin Those were 3 neglected ships orz

But overall this map is very easy, vanguard is sufficient to pass the pre-boss nodes and the 1st boss is no issue as long as u have an anti-installation setup dd.
