In terms of night battle equipment, I've got 3 star shells, a night scout, a skilled lookout, and like 7 spotlights. Could use more quints (just have the 2 from KTKM/Ooi). Whats a good number for guns? I've got 2 20.3-type 3s and 8 2.3-type 2s, the 2 dazzle 35s, a 46 and a 41 with a bunch of extra text in the name. And the pasta guns I'm afraid to use.

So in terms of training. Besides the obvious (Kaga), where do you think I'd get the most bang for my buck seeing as we have 2ish weeks left? From your analysis my most pressing concerns are my lack of CAs, CAVs, and CVs. Which do you think I should give priority? As well, since I was training my girls to 70 (unless they have a K2 past that), is it more worth it to try to bring the 70 girls to 80 or work on bringing more girls into the 60+ range? I already typed my response to him and will not repeat here. I am glad to have another experienced player giving their view on this matter. However i think he is really over-asaking for your time and resouces.

Simply put with only 150 buckets, you can not beat hard even with a combat ready fleet. You need 500+ buckets at least to challenge hard mode full clear. (NO i dont think you need 500 buckets for 1 map ... it is 500 for whole event). And assumign your fleet is bit under-leveled, you need even more buckete

I suggest you trian for 1-2 more weeks, (depends on when event start, stop 1 week before event starts) and go over your soft cap. Stock a bit.. 1 week you should be able to get to around 60-70K.. Hopefully by then you will have around 400 buckets. Take your time in the event and do maps slowly, use repair bay as much as possible and save buckets.

Training plan: Yukakize Flag ship PVP .. should be 70+ by the time event starts.

CLT in pvp. (no need for flagship). Ooyodoo in PVP too.

3-2A grind: cost no buckets!!. Flagship Kaga then Mustsu then Zuikaku. Kaga aim for 80, Mustsu 75, Zuikaku 70. Total should take you 1-2 weeks. Support Chitose if she hits 70, then switch to Hiyou.

CV use : CV BB(you can use mutsu here) CA CA CVL SS. (you can even use Ooyodoo instead of one CA). So you can bring 1 CA (myoukou class) and 1 CAV up.

BB use : BB CA CA CA CVL SS. Remember you need to rotate one CA here, otherwise chances are very high you cant clear the enemy before tropedo screw you up.

This is my plan for you.
