Event maps will be made accessible through the usual sortie section once the event actually starts. The only requirements to participate are a 75% sortie win rate ratio (its honestly not possible to mess this up unless you purposely tried to), and some empty ship/equipment slots.

But thats just for participation requirements. No one can say for sure what kind of enemies, branching rules or ship locks we'll face, but 6-8 DDs, 3-5 CAs and 2-4 of most other ships Kai'd and modernized would be a good idea if you're looking to be prepared for anything they might throw at you. Given your HQ level and assuming the difficulty is similar to past events, it might not be possible for you to clear all the event maps, but clearing the first map or two certainly isn't out of the question.

TL;DR: RAISE A DIVERSE FLEET!
