Level 102 Teitoku here, just cleared E-5. Notable drops: 2x Tanikaze.

Summary: 3BB CVB 2CV (among others) with support (2DD BB BBV 2CVL not sparkled), 55 sorties, 11 boss encounters, 1 Isohime sink. About 70% depletion of the map gauge. Then I ran out of steel and... 3BB CVB 2CV full sparkle with support (2DD BB BBV 2CVL not sparkled), 5 sorties, 3 boss encounters, 3 Isohime sinks.

Kill fleet setup: Nagato (73), 46cm, 41cm, Sanshiki, Type 0 Recon Kongou (98), 46cm, 41cm, Sanshiki, Type 0 Recon Kirishima (79), 46cm, 41cm, Sanshiki, Type 0 Recon Taihou (73), Reppuu, Ryuusei Kai, Ryuusei Kai, +13eva turbine Kaga (79), Reppuu, Reppuu, Reppuu Kai, Type 62 Fighter Zuikaku (78), Reppuu, Reppuu, Type 62 Fighter, Saiun Air Superiority Value: 351

Expenditures are roughly 47k/40k/45k/10k/200 buckets of which 3k/3k/3k/<1k using full sparkle sorties.

E1-E4 costed roughly 18k/13k/12k/4k/170 buckets.

My advice is, Full sparkle your fleet. I bring a unremodeled Maruyu with the ship I'm sparkling. Your ships will take less scratch damage. Preferably bring Saiun, especially if you do full sparkle. E node Hime doesn't mean a thing if she doesn't hit you. If you have an underleveled ship, preferably put them as a flagship to not trigger enemy AI. My understanding and experience is that lower leveled ships or damaged ones are more likely to get targetted. Evasion may or may not factor in targetting rate, but if they do get targetted, they'll take damage more often. In this case, Nagato is the lowest and has the worst evasion.
