I just hope 1-5,2-5,3-5 don't take that much resources to clear like the maps in this event.

Take the recommended layouts from the wiki and you can do 1-5 with minium effort and ressources.
its also a good spot to level your DDs and CLs up to 20 for remodel.

I can't recommend it for Agano though, as the map also gives high HQ xp which will make enemies more dificult over the time. - And Agano needs lv35 for her first remodel...

Well,right now i'm in the midst of regenerating fuel,so which is better for spamming? 21 or 38?

Also,once i have regenerated to cap,which should i do first? Clear those normal Ex-op maps for Medals or trying to farm E-1 for Taigei/I-19?

Expedition 5 have the best time/fuel ratio.

Nope, 38 has the highest with 144 per hour (and even higher when you get 大成功). Expedition 5 clocks out at 133. Even 21 is higher than 5 at 137 (and also has a chance to get 大成功 with enough barrels like 38).

38 > 21 > 5. I do those 3 when I want fuel, and 37 instead of 38 for ammo.

And tbh you should make use of E-1 as much as possible so I recommend that as it's a gold mine in a way. You still have around a week left for the EOs after event.

Why do other people keep getting good things out of there while I'm stuck with Fubuki, Kirishima and the likes.

Really starting to wonder whether RNG hates me right now (seriously, last two S-ranked E4s gave me Kitakami and Takao) and whether Akashi and Taigei drop at E1 for people who already have them.

Well,hoping ether matter doesnt take too long.

Not sure how long it would take to clear those EOs though,never did them before.

[Seihai]

I still need Tokitsukaze and Kumano from E-1 but Ooyodo and Yahagi have a much higher priority. Besides, E-1 boss drops a shitton of kanmusus (over 40) so it's normal not to be lucky with it.

1-5 should be managable. I'm not sure about 2-5, it depends on how good your ships are.

[Kakurin]

1-5 is not worth mentioning in how easy it is. Just take a BBV, a CVL two CLs and run right through. 2-5 is slightly tougher, but take your strongest CAs and CAVs plus a CLT and you'll cruise the map.

[Seihai]

I don't think someone who has never even done an EO before has CLTs or CAVs that can cake walk 2-5 already. But yes, that's how you usually cruise the map.

I think a guy who has multiple level 90 CAs, multiple level 80 CAVs and a Kitakami at level 90 can cakewalk 2-5. You should take a look at the ships at his disposal: http://myanimelist.net/profile/rtys8

This is what I used for E-3:

F1:
CV + FBB + BBV + CVL + CVL + CA
F2:
CL + CA + 4 DD

And the route I took usually went like:

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Thanks again!

I couldn't take the FBB with me as mine are too low levelled but Mutsu in F1 and Kitagami(for double torpedo attack) instead of a 4th DD in F2 only relayed me 1 node off course .

And if the Main fleet wouldn't have retreated during the Night battle I would have even killed the boss this time ><.

Must be random which fleet retreats for it :/ last time it was the second one.

Ok, this is new to me... never seen someone that advanced before who chose to omit doing any EOs up till that point.

I obtained an extra team of submarines from E-1 farming yesterday. This is good because I had remodeled my first submarines to SSV (excluding I-168 since she stays as SS).

The lucky thing was that it only took 5 runs to get these 4 (so why did I not get submarines so easily like this from 1-5 before? =A=)



However, all of these 4 + U-511 will sadly have to be my sacrificial pawns for 3-2A power leveling in the future, so not leveling them just yet

While 3-2 has its obvious advantages, if you really want to power level a single girl, 4-3 and 5-4 is easier.

It's not random. Only the escort fleet enters night battle so you probably... I don't know.

1-5 rates are terrible. E-1 ought to have uniquely good rates going from all the reports.

Gah :/ - It wouldn't have been a problem if one more ship could have shot torpedoes in that phase.
But yeah Fubuki decided to use her 12.7s instead (and missed too lol)

Well at least they showed the battleship demon the way down to the ground of the ocean

[chaosprophet]

Anyone here testing the waters with expedition 32? Looking at the info on wikiwiki so far, seems like the minimum requirement is:

Katori at least level 5 (likely flagship) and two DDs
or
Katori at least level 5 (likely flagship) one DD and 2 more ships

The reports on the amount of EXP the ship-girls receive seems to be inconsistent. It may be the case that Katori's level and/or being kai affects it. Also great success seems to affect the amount too.

I sent a fleet on it about an hour ago:
Kuroshio Lv5 Flag, Katori Lv 5, Yukikaze Lv1, Amatsukaze Lv1, Suzuya Lv1, Akashi Lv1.
I'm trying to test if Katori really needs to be the flag. On wikiwiki there were only reports without Katori at all (which failed) and ones where she was flagship. It would be nice if she don't need to be flagship as the flag gets more exp.

Also if anyone else does it, please post how much XP your ship-girls got and Katori's level so we can figure out the formula, if it's variable by her level.

やりました！E-5 cleared.

Asashimo dropped on node E during the last dance attempts so my event ships collection goal is now complete.

In my case,I am someone with not enough experience for my HQ level,that is all I can say.
