Glad to know it's still possible, my runs today were making me wonder if maybe they'd stealth nerfed the drops on easy or something (Ryuujou, Hiyou, Shouhou, Shouhou, Kitakami...). RNG just trolling me today.

Finding farming this map isn't very bucket-friendly. I suspect I'll run out before Unryuu or Asashimo appear for me. Currently down to 49. Didn't have much of a stockpile going into the event but conserved them where possible during and I might as well spend them now that I've cleared it all.

What are you doing to mitigate the CV Hime's air power? I'm running 2DD 2FBB 2CA fleet through the southern route at the moment. 1 DD with 10cm+FD,10cm,Radar for AACI, 1 with 3xTorp for Cut-in. Night scout on one CA, Star Shell on the other, Searchlight on one BB and AP Shell on the other.

Are the 2 CAVs plus an AACI enough to shut the CV Hime down? In terms of DDs my only option at the moment is Shigure, didn't pay enough attention to Akizuki leading up to the event so she's too low level to use, and I'm finding that even if I get an AACI Shigure's only able to break a few teeth rather than completely defanging the boss. Not sure if a few floatplanes would make much difference? Only have Tone Kai2 and Suzuya Kai to draw on for CAVs and basically would be using standard Zuiuns (no Fusou/Yamashiro Kai-2 yet).
