If you go through the comments of the past event, you’ll see plenty of people cleared it with some hilariously bad compos and setups, either by sheer luck or simply by dumbing a mountain of resources on it. As long as you have the mandatory ships to deal with each situation (vs installation, vs high-armor etc), you can definitely clear by burning some extra resources.

As for blueprints, the only ship that I consider absolutely essential would be Abukuma, who is indeed on a category of her own when it comes to versatility. Even the Cranes can be replaced with some other CVs – you’ll just need to compensate with more resources for the extra fails you’ll get for not having their durability and power. Everyone else can be replaced quite simply – Tone-class can be replaced with dupe Mogami-class, half the daihatsu DDs don’t require a BP and so on. Having the top BP ships and luck-improved monsters will certainly make your life easier, but it is by no means mandatory. yeah. of cause more runs or luck can help. but after seeing noobs whine about stuck in e4h this event i start to wonder what garbage they actually used since it needed just 4-5 times facing boss. or hq 83 whine that he can't clear e2h with 0 k2 girls setup. tones can be substituted and cranes can be at kai but extra stats or armored gimmick what makes a real difference.
