Summer is coming. The hype is boiling. We know Solomon campaign is next on the checkbook. And Shinwalee's guide is as long as a textbook. So for people who wanted something short and thin. I made this quick FAQS for you to keep within.

Event Notes

 * 1) It is a LARGE-SCALE operation
 * 2) This is NOT the Battle of Philippine Sea
 * 3) *The event will revolve around Solomon Waters, potentially drawn reference from certain/some battle(s) within Solomon Islands Campaign and/or Guadalcanal Campaign, etc.
 * 4) Make sure your Carrier Task Force and its escort ships are sufficiently leveled
 * 5) *Hints on air battle nodes?
 * 6) *Prepare your Strong Gales and Bauxite?

What to Expect?

 * 1) At least 6 Maps
 * 2) *All previous large-scale has at least 6 maps so expect this one to be so.
 * 3) Ship-locking & Difficulty Settings
 * 4) *Ship-locking - a mechanic that prevents your girl from participating in some battle depending on what the devs will give us by locking them to a specific map.
 * 5) **For example: Kaga participated in E-1. Ship in E-1 got locked in E-2 so she can't be sortied to E-2. However, If you have another Kaga for some reason you can use that duplicate in E-2 instead.
 * 6) *Ship-locking & Difficulty Settings
 * 7) **It is possible to bypass ship-locking via difficulty settings as there can be an exception to "Easy" difficulty"
 * 8) ***For Example: In previous case ship-locking occurs in E-1 and E-2. Now let's say devs gave an exception for easy difficulty to be exempted from ship-locking. This means you can use the same Kaga you used in E-1 for E-2.
 * 9) *Difficulty Settings and you
 * 10) **People get screwed up by this a lot so I'll put it in the next bullet below. Remember this statement and remember it well.
 * 11) ***The moment YOU CLEARED (Sunk the boss final time;destroy the gauge) the map. You CANNOT and under no circumstances CANNOT go back to change the difficulty that you chose. You WILL BE stuck with what you had when you clear it.
 * 12) ***However, if you DID NOT CLEAR it yet, you CAN go back to change the difficulty AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!
 * 13) Requirements Restriction
 * 14) *If you read the Event page a bit you'll know that there's a requirement of at least 75% Sortie win rate for you to enter the event. Don't forget that.
 * 15) **If you have LESS THAN 5 ships slot left or LESS THAN 15 equipment slots left you need to scrap some to enter the event.

What to Expect? FAQS

 * 1) What will be the enemies in the event?
 * 2) *No one knows. Expect the worst. It might or might not be related to Solomon campaign.
 * 3) Will there be HP Regen gauge thing that I heard of?
 * 4) *For your info, the HP Regen did not show up ever since the old days of Kancolle. That thing caused many players to go insane and some are still in the mental asylum. But who knows...maybe Devs might go sadist this event.
 * 5) Is my fleet ready?
 * 6) *See below

What to Prepare?

 * 1) Ship levels - Why am I so paranoid about it
 * 2) *There IS NO safe ship level. Kancolle is a game that relies on RNG and no matter what level your ship is...it is still possible for them to perform poorly or vice-versa. Just remember this; the higher the level the better
 * 3) Ship classes - The rule of 2+ and their importance in the event.
 * 4) *Ship classes is one of the (if not) most important thing you need to prepare for the event. You can have 6 lvl 99 BB in your fleet but that won't do you any good if a map requires only CL/DD to sortie and your CL and DD are at mid 20s. Two things that you should do:
 * 5) **Have at least 2 ships of every classes (including their sub-classes). This means 2 CL, 2 CLT, 2 CA, 2 CAV, 2 CV, 2 CVL, 2 AV and so on just in case they're needed for branching rules which is highly probably. If you can't get them, don't fret too much but the more variation you have the better
 * 6) **Now you might wonder about your ship levels again. My suggestion is on around lvl 50+ or try to Kai-ni whoever you can. But don't take what I said seriously. You should try and judge yourself if you think your ship might need more lvling or if they're good to go.
 * 7) Ship Modernization - My Ships are weak!
 * 8) * Just a quick note; don't forget to max out your ship's stat through modernization. It is okay to not have the AA stat maxed but everything else are recommended.
