Lv102 Hard Mode

Tried so many compositions and wasted about 50k res and 300+ buckets with the boss still at more than half bar and not one kill. Tried out this fleet and completed the event in a few hours, without even sparkling or using support expeditions. Katori (didn't even Kai her) for command + avoiding maelstrom, BBVs for air superiority with Kaga, and hotels for damage. I found having a unit capable of air cut-in to be a great help actually getting to the boss. For the Light Cruiser abyss at the first node, I used fourth formation so I can kill or disable her to avoid the finishing torpedo. Rest used second, boss fourth for full offensive. Ended up only using one Damecon on Katori by the end; she didn't seem to get targeted very often.

Main Fleet:

Katori (26) - New Steam Broiler / Command Facility / Damecon

Fusou/Yamashiro (both 82) - Prototype 41cm / Prototype 35.6cm / AP Ammo / Zuiun Model 12

Yamato (139) - Prototype 51cm / 46cm / Type 0 Obs / Type 91 AP

Musashi (67) - 46cm / 46cm / Type 0 Obs / Type 91 AP

Kaga (82) - Reppuu (601) / Reppuu (601) / Reppuu Kai / Reppuu

Second Fleet:

Jintsuu (80) - SKC34 20.3cm / 20.3cm (2) / Searchlight

Yuudachi (78) - 10cmAA+Director / 10cmAA+Director / Type 13 Air Radar

Kirishima (99) - 35.6cm Dazzle / Prototype 41cm / Type 98 Scout (Night) / Type 91 AP

Shigure (97) - 53cm Torp / 61cm Quint Torp / Star Shell

Ooi/Kitakami (both 99) - 15.5cm Triple yellow / 15.5cm Triple yellow / Type A Ko-hyoteki THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I've tried so many different composition that seems to work for others, but I couldn't get anywhere with E5 hard until I used your composition. I was about to give up on hope, tried this composition and it worked like charm, took me a bit more time to finish off the Boss Final Form but  that's just RNG Kami-sama trolling me hard. But thank you, for without your composition I don't think I would have made it!
