Thank you very much for your kind advice so far. I shall attempt the event on medium difficulty. Since I absolutely won't rush into the event on the first few days, there is still a little bit of time to work on my weak points.

About improving my equiptment via Akashi - I've hardly done that since I only chanced upon Akashi pretty recently. I do have some 170 screws atm, though, so I can put these towards improving my shells and big guns. A few screws already went into these large caliber guns:

1x   Prototype 35.6cm Triple Gun Mount 4 ★

1x   35.6cm Twin Gun Mount 8 ★  (aiming to convert into a third Proto 36.5cm)

1x   41cm Twin Gun Mount 6 ★

2x   36.5cm Twin Gun Mount (Dazzle Camouflage) 4 ★

I improved a few other pieces of equipment to 1-7 ★, but they are hardly worth mentioning since the improved equip ist mostly trash (e.g. Type 94 Depth Charges). No idea why in blazes I improved most of the stuff I did before going for the big guns, I must have been driven by the devil. Or maybe just plain old stupidity.

You are probably right about Uranami going to be relevant (branching), but actively farming for something never did me any good (except for Pudding during Summer, banzai). Plus, Uranami only drops from horrible maps/nodes. So I'll spam a few 20/60/10/101 instead. Might be a safer investment for my ressources (just got another Ryuusei Kai within 5 tries).

The one thing I'm still very unsure about is how to spend my three blueprints. I'd love to enable Bismarck's torpedos (also, I intend to give my one ring to her once she is Drei). Chikuma would make sense too, since CAVs are one of my weak points. Then again, there are the Fusou sisters with their useful equipment and overall versatility... Argh!
