Idk why, but according my previous event (especially summer 2015), Tone did her cut-in often. So I switched her to cut-in setup. And it worked well. lol.

As for Abukuma and Shimakaze, I did that before (Shimakaze as FS). But then my Tone/Kitakami/Ooi often protected her during yasen and took the damage instead then taiha. So I swapped Abukuma and Shimakaze.

For Support, I did it always.

And when I placed DA first, then CI, The Duo BB Himes taihaed my DD/CL that has CI several times. I guess it's a bad luck...

I haven't tried kitakami using double setup, maybe I'll try it later. I gave her Skilled Lookout to make her CI more often. As for the other, the most annoying thing is that My Ooi often did scratch damage during yasen (All My OTO Guns are +6). Lost a lot sanity because of this.

I already cleared E3 Normal, but that didn't make me satisfied. lol

You can see how easy is Normal mode compared to Hard Mode as here's my last run E3 Normal : (Plus, I did some experiment for BBs using Main + Secondary + Seaplane + AP Shell. It worked well as I did S-rank for all nodes (even if it's Hankousen. need more testing. lol)Youtube (although not many ppl interested watching this...)

and thanks for your advice anyway. greatly appreciated.
