I think today is the last day for E5 farming for me. Maybe get 5 more runs in until the bar hits bottom and then try to clear on hard and deal with the RNG. Poor Roma dupe, left alone at sea. lol

Also, I guess people will make Kamoi an AO because she's better than FastSuck? I suppose you also don't really need yet another AV...

I need to start farming zero 21 and 52 now. Trying to improve more planes and basically all they ask is those two planes. Meanwhile... OTO gun.

I've had like 10 failed runs in a row. Someone keeps getting Taiha'd at node N.

Send help ;_;

That node is luck node. If you have bad rolls, better stop for a while, regain resources and try again later.

AO pretty much useless anyway.A few events in a row that really don't need them. Maybe this summer one will...
Only her luck and armor are better than Hayasui, plane slot worst and medium range is kinda useless for AO anyway.

I decided I want the Reppuu (601st Air Group) enough that I am willing to farm 6-3. I forgot the hell hole that is this map.

Unryuu and the subsequent F15 quest? Katsuragi and Amagi kai also have that plane tho, and Amagi dropped in the event, with a tiniest drop rate...

Yeah, N is completely screwing me. I guess I just need to triple expo for more fuel again, because right now this isn't working. I'm now pretty much out of fuel. 1k left (if I use 2 more gifts out of the 3 I have), 6 buckets.

Yura at 43 now. Need to at least level her to 70. Unlimited 4-3 worlds engaged but she taking her time to level up...

But you need Unryuu to unlock the quest for the Reppuu 601 and neither of the other carriers will work.

Ah, I see. I got lucky by getting all three sisters in one event. The one where we got BB61.

You still got 3 more days. Sent out expeditions and regain some. For last dance, maybe revert back Poi to 2xred gun + radar for more damage in boss node.

The previous events basically required an AO for Hard clear because of the fuel penalty - those are the ones where I just cleared on Medium to save my sanity. lol

ppl will use kamoi instead of hayasui due to cheaper fuel cost. of course those with 200k+ fuel stock probably will decide whether plane count vs defense instead of caring much about fuel

I find Kamoi to be cuter than Haysui. As we all know, cuteness is the most important factor.

Ehh.. My Hayasui level is acceptable now (60+) and Kamoi is level 4... Girl can't even carry daihatsu on her first form so can't bring to expedition as daihatsu mule. And leveling would be hard for AO.

I'll probably keep her as AV. More AV much better. Can she equip midget sub on her 2nd form?

Yes. That boss has increased armor. One ru class become BB Hime and one DD from escort become Ancient DD Hime. Did you do the debuff for E5? It might helps as well.

I did the debuff, funnily it was once I did that that I started having all the issues with node N haha.

I lost a lot of buckets attempting to farm for Unryuu in 6-3. I looked up stats for her drop rate there and according to Kancolle DB, there's only been about 55 recorded drops of her which roughly translates to .2% drop rate.

I think I'm fighting against the odds here.

Farming for her in 6-3 is crazy, yeah. You might as well wait for an event for where she shows up.

I have just over 24 hours left of my time (due to other things) to finish this event. Final kill still needed, only got to the boss node once in about 30 runs. I'm not going to do this am I v_v

Managed to clear it with a lucky single LD run. Even got Roma during the chipping... this was surprisingly uneventful, not that I'm complaining. lol

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 5 HP!

EDIT: Literally my last possible run, I'm on the boss and it's going to night battle. One battleship is still up along with the boss and the Battleship hime on 10HP. Wish me luck

PLEASE HIT THE BOSS GIRLS. PLEASE!

EDIT: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(

Maybe I can get one more run with the few expeditions I'm running today/tomorrow and the quests tonight, but I'm not holding out much hope.

You could orel tomorrow when the quests refresh and hope to get enough resources for a run... gotta poopsock though, probably. :(

Just woke up, 16 hours remain. Here goes nothing.

EDIT: Node N Bullshit again.

I can't finish the event for sure. I hate this game ;_;

EDIT: I have one more run in me, most quests done, and just resupplied one last time.

EDIT: Made it to the boss, but didn't get the kill :(

... I think I might have to buy fuel, just one set to see if I can finish the event, but then again that's a massive dice roll.

Ouch... that hurts.
Open your inventory first, look for any present box, colored mochi or valentine gift, they could be converted to resources. Last resort, your medal. That too can. If you have time, orel cruising and clear 1-6 for present box and free resources.
Try using mamiya + iroko to your fleet before sortie to sparkle them. Also use full damage dealing equipment for your escort fleet, no need for ASW anymore.
Buying resources is the very very last step you could take.
Good luck.

I've used all my present boxes, been orel cruising all morning. Nearly got enough to sortie fuel wise and I've used up most of my mamiya/iroko already.

I've switched both CVLs to full AA and I'm going to give bep full damage equip in the hopes I can brute force it one more time.

Just need about 300 more fuel from Orel cruising to sortie again/repair.

You've done almost all stuff. Just need some luck.
Wish that this game allow to trade some resources between players...

Had another no kill run, but I forgot to change Bep's equips. Got to the boss perfect Sing every node as well. On the boss didn't even kill all the boss escorts outside of the BBHime who has survived every run so far.

I won't give up.

EDIT: I put 2000yen into the game for Fuel (still got 1200 left in the acccount non spent), but now I'm out of buckets. I've spent any consumable I had to get resources and I've even traded in all my 5 medals. I still haven't had a lucky boss kill run at all. I don't understand it, why could I S Rank the boss so easily in the 4 runs up to the final kill, then spend almost 80 runs at least on the boss depleting all my fuel and bosses and not once get lucky enough to kill the boss. It's so fucking infuriating. never have I been fucked over by RNG this much.

It's official, the event is over for me and even managing to spend 20GBP I couldn't get Gangut in the end. I got the boss to 5HP for a final kill once and that must've been a good 40 runs ago.

I hate RNG so damn much. I never even came close to killing the boss after that and while I still have 20k+ of all the other resources, I'm sucked dry of all my fuel and buckets. I can't get anymore fuel or buckets in time from quests as I need to sleep again in a sec and I've done most of them, but damn I'm so pissed off. I should've just given in and not spent any money.

The fact I've used all my medals as well is a huge kick in the teeth as I had 5 and could've got a blueprint for my Suzuya. Ah well, I got 2 of the ship drops from the event I wanted (although will probably never use) and I got some cool items, but I'll be damned if I don't hate this game for that. I must've ran that boss over 100 times and I stilll couldn't get it in the end.

I guess Gangut will join the list of ships I'll probably never get like Saratoga and Iowa

People would be away to quick to abuse that mechanic by making a new account, setting it up as a resource farm, and sending supplies to themselves.

Eh, if you're willing to poopsock two accounts, more power to you I guess. lol
But honestly they could just make it time limited, like you transfer 1k fuel a day or something.

I hope Nagato is getting her Kai Ni after the maintenance. Mine is only level 82 which might be too low considering how high some of the Kai Ni levels have been in the past.

Nagato Kai Ni looks so goddamn good. I need to level mine to 88 ASAP. Her ability to equip DD guns and daihatsus might be a hint for what the next event will be like.

Her black and white outfit is good.
Shame she cant equip WG, otherwise she'd be a installation wrecker lol.

Her sortie quest sucks tho. Beat boss node 4-5 and 5-5(harder than event map)
