That explains it then - I've lost my data regarding my previous event compositions, but I remember now all of my DD in E-2 were above lvl 80, maybe one or two DD a little bit less than that. Three of them were what you'd consider "elite" DD, 2 others had generic stats. I tackled E-2 for close to 30 times for clearing and farming runs combined, only had 2 or 3 retreats and around 18 - 20 S-Ranks at boss node, rest of them were A-Rank. I had a comfortable time with E-2, in other words.

For DD, it is especially important to have high levels due to the fact they don't have any armor to rely on - they rely on evasion for survivability, and that only increases with levels. Personally, I now have 11 DD who are all lvl 70 or above, which is not really an overkill yet if I'm joining the frontlines (or actually, it may even be too little and I'm training a 12th one right now)

That is a good idea, to wait until monday - knowing good compositions beforehand should increase your chances of clearing the event considerably.
