Talk:Spring 2015 Event/@comment-26353030-20150518214123

This was the fourth event I participated in, and the very first event I managed to clear completely. I cleared every map on Hard except for E-1 (because I decided that the 46cm gun will be more useful for now than the 51cm one) and E-5 (because I thought that the flying boat and the 3 extra screws weren't worth more resources and more frustration), which I did on Medium.

When I was deciding how to distribute ships between the maps with ship locking, I decided to send the slightly worse ships to E-5 - since I decided to do it in Medium, I thought it was going to be easier. That was a mistake, as even on Medium it was quite a bit harder than E-4 Hard. Nevertheless, I managed to clear it (Shioi was a big help too, tanking the night battle and distracting most of the boss fleet). That was probably the hardest part of the event.

E-6 was very hard too, despite having no ship locking. After clearing E-5, I took a break and levelled Chiyoda because my Hiyou kept getting rekt all the time (still had to use Hiyou in the end, her 54 plane slots against Chiyoda's 51 did make a difference on the preboss node). SlashZero's guide was a huge help, I don't even know if I would be able to clear E-6 without it. I definitely got lucky on the last dance though; Kitakami chose the right target for her cut-in and I cleared E-6 with A rank. Now I have that delicious OP FuMO25 radar (if only I could get its "owner"...) and the first-class medal of honour for everyone to see. :)

As for drops, I didn't get much this time. I got Amatsukaze and Nowaki while clearing the event. From E-7, I got Unryuu and Isokaze fairly quickly (especially Isokaze, and I wasn't even sure she dropped on Medium haha), and later also Uzuki which required quite a few more visits to E-3.

In conclusion, I'd like to thank everyone who submitted information to the wiki. It was very helpful!
