On lower levels there is also a bit of damage problem involved if you want to get a short way to the boss.

Modernization fodders also are cheap as chips at E1. There is zero excuse to not hit that place up as much as possible.

I am thinking of farming it up at hard for Taigei... cause it's better than going to 2-5 by leaps and bounds.

Ok yeah. I love this map:

Could everyone please avoid posting drops every time you get something? it is cluttering the thread way too much, especially during events. Keep it to the very minimum such as tips or questions regarding specific drop.

Sorry, I just kind of assumed this was some kind of general discussion thread and you could talk about anything. I guess I haven't really posted on here much recently so I forgot how specific the threads are. If you want a pure questions thread about the game, would it not be better to have more than one game thread and have one as just general discussion?

My post referred to the part about E3.
----------

Personally I will probably finish E3 and then return to E1 for a while, to farm Kongou, haruna and the mising subs, before going E4, or not continue to E4 and 5 at all.
The branching rules don't really like my sortiment of ships and the amount of ressources needed for E4 + 5 is about the same I need to for several attempts of building Yamato)And probably sustaining her for a week), depending on the RNG that is.

And even if I could actually beat E5, At least from looking at her Kai equipment(Pretty much filled with 601 squadrons) Unryuu seems like the greater reward to me and she already drops at E4 :/

That is from an easy difficulty perspective.

I did not say regular discussions are forbidden. What I asked for a while on this thread is to avoid making posts that are solely about drops, crafts or complain about not having X or Y, because when it is echoed with several members, it severely clutters the thread.

[Estavali]

Feel free to post your drops here at the social thread =3

So I started E5. And Hard. It was a folly, Five runs, all double sparkled with both support expeditions, and only twice I have reached the boss. Seeing how my buckets and resouces kept diminishing, I decided to downscale the difficulty to Normal and redo the same. Six runs, reached the boss twice, one clean kill. Only once I have done it w/o sparkling. So, all of you people who want to try E5. Look over your resources, sparkle ALL your fleets at least twice. It makes a difference. Now back to get ready for work.

Kancolle the arcade screenshots

The first screenshots of Kan Colle Arcade have come out of this weekend’s Japan Amusement Expo in Chiba.

The Sega-developed “fleet-type training card game” is scheduled to hit game centers in Japan this summer. It’ll have players collecting real “Kanmusume Trading Cards,” organizing their fleets, and challenging enemy fleets.

Hmm...lots of touchscreen work. I see a steering wheel to adjust your heading with a confirm button below it. There seems to be fleet speed dial on the right. I also see the E-wallet touch spot at the top of the cabinet.

EDIT: Chances are there's a card scan location somewhere on the machine to add new kanmusu if you traded your cards outside. Not seeing it atm though. I see a change slot at the bottom of the main unit, and the side unit is for dispensing cards(you get 1 new girl per play, etc.)

So I screwed up...

I drastically underestimated how much steel it cost to field four battleships, and now I'm down to about 3k. I'm on the last dance for E-5 (easy mode) too, but I need to optimize the heck out of my fleet.

Currently this is the build I'm using (In this order, too):
Fleet 1
Ryujo Level 115: Reppuu Reppuu (601), Suisei (Enogusa), Saiun
Yamato Lvl 61: 51cm guns, 41cm guns, Penetrator shell, Scout plane
Kongou Lvl 90: 41cm Prototype 41cm Penetrator shell, scout plane,
Kirishima Lvl 84: 41cm, Prototype 41cm, Penetrator shell, scout plane
Fusou Kai Ni Lvl 95: 46cm, 41cm, Penetrator, Zuiun Type 12
Chiyoda Lvl 72: Reppuu (601), Reppuu, Tenzan (Tomonaga), Suisei 12-A

Second Fleet:
Ooi Lvl 95: Midgset subs, 15.5cm secondaries, 20.3cm Type 3
Shimakaze Lvl 85: 10cm+High Angled Whatsits, 10cm, Type 13 AA radar
Bismarck Lvl 92: 46cm, 46cm, Type-1 Penetrator, Night Scout
Yukikaze Lvl 83: Quint torps, Quint torps, Quad torps,
Kitakami Lvl 95: Midget subs, 15.5cm, SKC34 20.3cm
Jintsuu: 20.3cm Type 3, 20.3cm Type 2, Star Shells



I have sparkled fleets running on both Tokyo Expresses and a non-sparkled fleet running on Expedition 3. I'm clearing missions and also planning on doing Kiska sub runs once the missions are done.

So two questions: Am I missing anything obvious on the fleet setup? I think it should be pretty solid, though I may make Jintsuu flagship and put Ooi at the bottom. Also, am I missing any obvious ways of getting steel?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey, two boss in trips in only five sorties is a good rate, why giving it up with your resource level?

I personally didn't bother sparkling the main fleets and only did that with the flagship of the support fleet. Still affected by my bad experience with sparkling during the Summer event, heh. Also, I don't think you quite need the boss support until you get into the redzone. Map support is sufficient till then.

I would change Kitakami to a torpedo cut-in setup. And as you mentioned, set Jintsu as flagship, followed by Shimakaze, Bismarck, Ōi, Yukikaze and Kitakami.

Question about Expedition 32: What are the requirements? I'm not 100% sure I understand wikiwiki correctly, I think it says Katori lv 5 flagship and 2 additional DDs? And is there any worth doing it for those 24 hours?

[cloud04]

for e5, do you need to use boss support in the initial form?
and for 1st fleet, 2cvl,3fbb,1 ca?

For E5 boss support en-route is more important than the final kill. However, running both doesn't hurt at all. And your composition may give you a little bit of trouble at hard difficulty. 3x fast BB is perfectly fine for all the strong mooks in the first 3 nodes.

whats the recommended?since iirc the only thing that pretty much changes in initial and final is first fleet

[KBTKaiser]

E-4 finally cleared on easy, time to rest my fleet, restock my fuel supplies and then take on E-5 on easy...

You could try four BB and two CVL.
