On my last comment, I was hoping for a perfect E-5 run and wow, it actually happened! E-5 Medium mode cleared!

E-5 took me 15 sorties to clear and 5 of them were for the final kill. My resources dropped by 10k (except bauxite), although I did finish some weeklies and did some expeditions while at it. The event as a whole dropped each of my resource by 12k-20k (except Bauxite) and buckets by ~130. All other event maps (hard mode) combined only dropped my bucket count by 40, I had quite of an easy time in all those maps even with hard difficulty. In total, if sparkling runs and such are not counted, the event took me 43 sorties to finish, which I suppose is quite little.

The conditions for the final run were absolutely perfect, my ship girls easily smashed through the first 2 nodes, survived CV Oni's wrath with the help of Red-T and got a Green-T on the boss node. My boss support worked like a dream too, as it took down a Ru-Kai and a Ne-class Elite, also severely damaged a 3rd and 4th ship out of which the other my CLT finished off. By the time night battle started, only the heavily damaged boss was left and my Ayanami easily managed to finish her off from there.

No Isokaze in sight, which can't be helped. I'll wait for her to become available by other means, no way I'm farming E-5 (Though I may try few sorties just in case). I'll post my E-5 composition in the reports thread or here too if asked to. Katori was extremely useful for branching rules.
