^ No amount of advice can help you with E3. It's purely luck based. Either your ships manage to take out the boss's escort before the night battle starts, allowing your escort fleet to focus on the flagship, or you have to rely on a lucky cut-in/DA to finish her off. If neither of these two happens, you're going home empty-handed.

It's similar to Summer 2015 E7, in a way that ships and equipment don't really matter. You can struggle with the final kill with a full fleet of LSC ships and fully upgraded equipment, and you can clear it in one run with a single lucky cut-in with a fleet of common ships equipped with equally common guns. Yes, having better ships and better equipment helps you reach the boss intact, and it also makes it easier to take escort ships out, but ultimately it all boils down to RNG.
