Talk:Christmas 2013 Event/@comment-24187484-20131224202128

Just unlocked E-3, so while my ships get repaired I tell you how I did it through E-1 and E-2.

Before event, I only had 3 submarines: Iku Kai (lvl 67), Imuya (lvl 37) and Goya (lvl 35). Thanks to Iona, I could choose a formation with a only-submarine fleet for the first time. i did some tries with differents formations in 3-4 (that rute is trolling me like crazy), but compared with line ahead, the rest just did almost nothing for evasion or armor, and of course x0 firepower.

So decided to use line ahead always and soon started my first E-1 run. Didn't kill Takao, and not a very good run overall. Before, I was trying to beat 3-4 with the same four submarines, and it wasn't better. Them I raged and tried to put my Ooi (lvl 60) and KTKM (lvl 75) in the fleet...

The fleet: Imuya (flagship, so she can't sink and I can be more relaxed)-Ooi-KTKM-Goya-Iku-Iona (minimum lvl 10, of course).

The result: (fangirl mode on) FUCKING OP FLEET OMG S RANK ALWAYS WHEREVER I GO (fangirl mode off)

No problem clearing E-1 full S rank like 5 or 6 times in a row (more than mandatory 3 just for fun and farm).

Once I got Takao, I replaced Imuya with her. It was even better, pretty overkill laser. I recommend putting her on flagship as it seems (from some reports here) she sinks very easily and the laser works better (best with BB in enemy fleet for more procs).

And, of course, I had not much problem with E-2 with that fleet. And without change anything, I even did the pvp quest for Haruna (S ranks and A ranks if Iona) just in time before the reset.

Resources? I didn't even bothered to check, and I was very poor at the start. I think I have even more.

Now a more detailed info of my op fleet.

-Takao: 15.5 yellow, 12.7 High Angle, 21 Radar (Imuya: +10 Turbine)

-Ooi: first two same as Takao, Type A Ko-hyoteki

-Kitakami: same as Ooi

-Goya: +10 Turbine

-Iku: Prototype Seiran (just trying for fun, but I like it), +10 Turbine (Before Takao I had 2 +6 turbines one her because I only have 2 +10's)

-Iona: 2 Quintuple Oxygen Torpedos

Don't know if I'll use Haruna, but if I do, I'll replace Goya (in the same spot, or maybe second spot) and equip her 46cm+41cm+22radar+21radar.

And it's not a bad idea to max some stats from Takao (firepower) and Iona (torpedo). You just try, it won't bite.
