Yeah... Sad to see that RNG trolled some TTKs to the very last moment. And there was that guy who screeched and howled and cried the entire time in his stream. (Though that was probably more disturbing than saddening.)

Abukuma is a great investment, I can tell you that! Although I only managed to K2 her like a week before the event ended, she did really great. Her opening torpedo strike is invaluable, often taking out enemy ships or at the very least chuuha them and lessen the risk of my girls getting hurt by the closing torpedo salvo. And of course the fact that she still remains a CL after K2. In fact, she was so helpful I think I might even give her my next batch of Maruyus. She can perform cut-ins pretty well when in flagship position even though her luck is only 20. The devs sure did succeed in keeping all CLTs out of all the difficult maps in this event!

My next blueprint would likely go to Choukai (simply because I like her) or Tone (great stats). Maybe Tone first. I'll give my fleet (and myself) a break for a few days, let resources recover a bit, find another submarine and then start training again. I hope to K2 all of my CAs and Souryuu & Hiryuu by the next event. Also need to get the lv70 K2 DDs like Akatsuki there, they're already close but not close enough so they didn't make it in time for the event.

My fleet size is also 95 right now...Found so many rare and adorable DDs this time! I might cave and buy maybe 20 ship slots, but I'm putting that off for as long as possible. :P Ship slots are the only thing I would ever consider paying for. I should manage just fine for a while more once I get the equipment from duplicate Mutsus. (I had no Mutsu before the event. I found 4 or 5 in the event. Wow.)

Sounds like you are well on the way to your goal! Now that you have Akashi in your fleet, she'll aid you with equipment upgrade and act as extra ship repair docks. Very very helpful if you have only 2 repair docks like me.

I can't upgrade weapons yet... No Akashi. Airfield Hime wouldn't give her to me. Oh well at least I got Umikaze and Kiyoshimo from her. I think I will search for Akashi all the way till my HQ hits level 100. Hopefully I will have found her by then... I have actually been looking for her in 2-5 ever since my HQ was around 65 or so. :/ Maybe she'll come while I'm doing September's EO? A man can dream.
