E5- EASY

I cleared E4 Easy last week. After that, I had a lot of trouble with E5. I couldn't even kill the boss on the chipping run. So I spent the week doing

a) making 8 reppus and training them (I only had one at the start of the event)

b) farmed 2 WG42 while leveling Abukuma to Kai Ni to help farm E2 for Akizuki ships

c) farm an Akizuki class DD for the 10mm gun with built in fire director since Fubuki Kai Ni with 10mm HA + Fire Director 94 + Radar 13 Kai rarely procced. (I almost gave up since every run, my fleet will get wrecked. I used up 16k fuel and 20k steel just to get my first Akizuki DD)

d) leveled a 4th Kai Ni DD while I was farming the WG42 and Akizuki DD  (I only had 3 Kai Ni DD, the other DD was only lvl 50 so they weren't fully modernized.)

The one week of effort paid off.

FIRSTYL I have to thank everyone here for posting their fleet formation and for explaining how to use the Land Base Airfield.

I followed the 2CAV + 4DD fleet that many people post here. (A-C-G-I-L-M)

I also fully sparked the main fleet. The pre-node expedition was VERY CRUCIAL l since it procced almost 90% and everytime it procced, together with my CAV, it will take down on average a total of 4 ships so my fleet arrived safely almost all the time to the boss.

Fubuki using the 10mm HA+FD, 10mm HA, Radar 13 Kai procced more often.

The two WG42 on Shigure and Yuudachi help do 60 damage per hit on the boss compared to only 20 damage last week without the WG42.

LAST DANCE only did twice.

First time, the sparkle wore off on 5 of the ships so per-node support didn't proc, fleet taiha'd early. Had to retreat at L.

Second attempt after the whole fleet was sparkled, reach the boss safely and almost killed the boss during day battle. Boss only left 20 HP. WG42 was VERY effective.

Landbase:

Base 1 - 3 Reppu + 1 Type 96 (one attack on node I to help mitigate damage, the other on boss)

Base 2 - 2 Reppu + 1 Type 96 + 1 Suisei (both on boss)
