I just started during the Fall '13 event so I was only able to clear through E-3, but I heard how horrible E-4 and E-5 were. But in addition to what some said about night battles, that event was the last (only?) one to have the bosses regenerate health. On top of that, as I understand it both E-3 and E-4 had teitoku significantly more at the mercy of Compass-chan's whims, wheras in the events since then it's been mostly based on fleet formation (and starting in the Spring event, LOS).

I'd say E-6 was harder than Spring E-5, but I full-sparkled for Spring E-5 without ever attempting the map without it but never bothered for this E-6, so I can't directly compare.

This event certainly has the hardest first 2 maps by a long shot, but that's because they front-loaded most of the difficulty plus forced teitoku to split their fleets (I don't think that was much of an issue for me, I just should have used two of my kai2s from the beginning instead of Akebono and Sazanami, but I'm not even sure that made much of a difference). I'm less sure if it's harder overall than Spring. Probably, since it took me more runs to clear those maps than anything in Spring.

Arpeggio event was really easy, even with the enemy Fog ships lazering your team. Only 3 maps and I cleared the whole within about 24 hours of the event's start. And I'm pretty sure that was before I started using any equipment other than what ships came with.
