@Echevierra Nothing wrong with 8 pages worth of heartlocks. Still, only that much?

BTW, you don't need to clear events to get the rewards to clear events.

My first event was Winter 2015, and I only got as far as E3. All of it was done on Easy. (Started literally 1 week before the event began.)

By Spring 2015, I was able to clear E6 on Medium/Normal, despite the sentiment back then was "Go Easy or Go Hard - There is no Medium" due to how badly balanced E6 Medium was (it was just marginally easier than Hard, but vastly harder than Easy without any good rewards).

I find that in events, your true work horses are actually CV, CA and DD. Your BB is there to lead the fleet, but you rarely need to have more than 2 in your fleet at a time.

Pay extra attention to unique equipments you get when upgrading your shipgirls. Sendai gives you the Night Battle Starter Kit. Isuzu (and her Kai/Kai Ni) give you access to improving your Sonars, since you can already upgrade Depthcharges with Akashi alone. Hiryuu and Souryuu gives you skilled aircrafts. High level, late-game DDs like Shigure, Yuudachi, Ayanami and Hatsushimo are your go-to girls for difficult battles. Kasumi and Ooshio are great for second-line duties.

Tackle the late maps like World 5. That should give you plenty of reason to level up your girls. Also, don't worry about your HQ level - it's really easy to inflate them even when doing daily activities. They're not really a measure of your veterancy, but more of giving you a higher resource softcap.

Above all, love your shipgirls. They're the ones on the frontlines. Give them the best gears and treatment you can afford and they will repay your kindness with success.

Fair seas to you, TTK. May the Goddess of Luck be with you.
