The event has been mentioned to be ASW-heavy. That's why it'd be good if you gave importance on some offensive ASW stat.

The 1st way to do this is to craft as many T3 sonars/T3 Depth charges. 10/30/10/31 can give both.

The 2nd way is to make use of the new pre-ASW ability. To do this, your ships must reach 100 ASW stat. So it's better to keep a few (3-6) of them at your base. Get Asashio to lvl 85, and maybe some CLs to the enough lvl that they can use pre-asw ability (refer to this link for that : http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Shagohod7/List_of_required_levels_to_reach_100_ASW_(DDs%2BCLs))

You can just throw a few 1 lvl ships into your composition at the first maps. It's not rare to see that, even in final maps sometimes.

And most importantly, wait for info from advanced frontliners before you sortie. You can also come into Special:Chat to consult some other players in some cases.

You have at least basic knowledge on Combat, right?
