well.. i too spent like 80+ buckets for E2, but thats mainly because i keep bucket-ing ships even with ~30% dmg. at first i used the same fleet for E1, but got sent north, which is pure bullshit. then i tried to take another approach - by taking the southern route using 2CA, 2DD, 2CVL. routes are C-G-E-K

even though i still get critted to red occationally, it is significantly less frequent than when taking northern route. used line ahead all the way, skipping night battles except for the boss node. note that i brought chiyoda and hiyou who are only lv 57 and 49 at that time, compared to the rest of my ships who are at 73~97.

take into account that you also need a certain LOS to be able to be sent to node E and to boss node. i had to sacrifice 2 fighter slots for saiuns. cant use radars on CAs because i need their artillery spotting attacks and a slot for sanshiki to kill the boss.

diamond formation has shitty evation. and your damage is reduced as well, all for the sake of AA and protecting the flagship
