User blog:Subyss/Ya Boi Subyss' Winter 2017 Event Reflection

Summary
This is a personal Reflection of my experience with the Autumn 2016 Event.

At this point I'm four events deep (psst, check out my other blog posts for my Autumn and Spring reflections, I try to keep it entertaining), so I tried to go for no Easy clears. E-3 killed that dream without mercy.

How I felt about each map (abridged):

 * E1: MAXIMUM SUBMARINE CHEESE


 * E2: Couldn't do on Hard, but not too bad overall.


 * E3: fuggg :DDD

E1
Cheesed it the whole way. Sub fleet OP.


 * Total runs:


 * Notable drops: N/A

E2
I initially tried completing this map on Hard, but after 1 run I realized how tedious and time consuming it would end up being and settled for a Medium clear.


 * Total runs: 13


 * Notable drops: N/A

E3
Wow this map sucked. Even on easy I was havinga really hard time getting the final kill off on the boss.

The silver lining is that I ended up farming Node L a lot because of how many runs I did. As a result, I got some decent drops (the Duckie squad is now complete)


 * Total Transport runs: 2


 * Total boss debuff runs: 11


 * Total boss killing runs: 20


 * Net Total runs: 33


 * Notable drops: Kaga, Akitsushima, Teruzuki, Zuihou, Amatsukaze

Conclusion
I was expecting this map to be a complete walk in the park, but it ended up being much more difficult than I thought in the later maps.

Duckie squad is now complete.

I finally got Kaga for the first time at lvl 99. Funnily enough, I rolled her doing construction to try and get carriers to use as fodder for modernization, then the next sortie another Kaga dropped at the boss node.

Shimikaze is no longer the only stripe legged hoe in the fleet, since I got Amatsukaze as a drop.

I wanted to get I-13, but after barely being able to kill the boss once, I don't have the patience or motivation to try and get her.
