You don't really need a CV to do this (CVs cost more resouces), you can get away with just a BBV some DDs and Maya. Just make sure not to equip more than 1 gun on the BBV and put it in the last slot, or it will steal MVP. Maya equiped with DA setup should get MVP most of the time.

As for aircraft, I would recommend 6 Shiden or Reppu. But, you can get away with using lower fighters as long as they are rank 7. Put the lower ranked 7 fighters in small plane slots, where their base AA stats have only a minimal inpact and their rank 7 gives the majority of AA strength.

Your BBs should be good enough for easy. Since easy doesn't normally have ship locking, you should be ok with 5 FBB/BBV. I would recommend using BBVs over FBBs when ever you can as they use less resources.

I would highly recommend getting at least 7 DDs past 50 and fully modernized. If there is a transport combined fleet requirement you will have a very hard time without decent lvled DDs. You can stick them in filler spots as you level up Maya.

Ooi is almost 50. You will want to get her to kai ni before the event. You will want to use CLT when ever possible.

You should be able to clear the event on Easy. Take the event slow. Try to save buckets and resources when ever you can. Also don't start the even right away. Wait a few days for information to come in on the maps. 1) O! So Maya as flagship, 3 DD, 1 Sub, last slot BBV? I go for night attack double attack build?

I never thought of that. Nice tip, will try it right away :)

2) I will get the other 3 more DD to lvl 50 first, then I will see can I get any of them to lvl 70.

(One of them will be Kasumi to lvl 50, since later I think I should get her to lvl 75 for future events. Any suggestion, who should be the other 2 DD that I should get to lvl 50 then Kai Ni later ?)

3) May I know what is the meaning of rank 7 planes? Is it the AA stats?

Eg: Is Reppuu rank 10? Shinden Kai rank 8? etc?

4) Yup, will get Ooi to lvl 50 and yes, I will definitely wait a few days for our wonderful senpais to provide us with the info on the event. I am a chicken, so I will be there with my subs doing Orel Cruising at that time.

Thanks for your tips Merrillz.

Cheers :)
