In case Kenji didnt make it clear enough, it is a very good idea to build up your fleet in preparation for the next event.

As a general rule, a good 2-3 ships of every class is pretty much needed to give you the flexibility when it comes to branching. Over and above that, there are a few things you might want to level first.

1) Please Kai 2 both of your CLTs. You will NEED them for events.

2) Try to work towards 2-4 A or if possible, farm 3-2-A or 3-3-A. If you are able to do it, you will get pretty much almost all the ship you would need to clear the events.. (almost)

3) Equipments are important. Craft Reppus... you will need it. Type 3 shell is supposedly useful almost every event becos of the added damage to installation type bosses but not for the Winter 2015 event. It is still good to get one or 2. I personally find AP shells useful as well. It is also good to have some ASW equipment lying around.

4) Get night battle equipment. It becomes invaluable becos it makes sinking bosses alot easier. It gives you options as well. Check the wiki, the sendai CLs give night battle gear at K2 remodel.

5) If you still have time, you might want to K2 Fubuki for the Fire Detector so that you can setup for AA Cut ins if you choose to. Maya K2 can do it as well but I would rather keep that role for my DDs since they are pretty useless otherwise.

6) AVs are ... not that useful. Unless they are used for branching purposes, I almost never use them.

7) CVs and BBs are pretty much kings / Queens of the seas. You will use them alot.
