Sparkles : All-Fleet (1,2,3,4)

Formation : Bottom-Right(A), Bottom-Right(E) , Bottom-Right(H) or Top-Right(G) , Bottom-Right(J)

Explanation :

>> This formation is for pure survavibility up to boss node.

>> AACI and 1 damecon on each cvl will protect them from being sunk especially during your encounter with Aircraft Carrier Princess.

>> i personally went with 1 damecon on ryuujou since my junyou is already on high level. >> Accuracy > Damage, the reason why i don't put any 46cm is because of this. 35,6cm on kongous and 41cm on nagatos will boost their attack accuracy. >> Submarine will tank CL demon attack removing chances of your escorts being chuu-ha'd in the first node. I used this to Chip and kill the boss in order to bring out the final form.

Sparkles : yes, all of them

Formation : Bottom-Right(A), Bottom-Right(E) , Bottom-Right(H) or Top-Right(G) , Bottom-Right(J)

Explanation :

>> This is my killing formation. Saiun is essential, trust me, it hurts getting T-Red in boss. but not really recommended, it is up to you whether you are willing to remove T-Red or preserve it for prenodes.

>> Replaced Goya with Haruna for tanking and shelling. This also allows Fubuki to bring Pure AACI setup(2 Dual Purpose Gun with Air radar).

>> Changed 2CVL into 1CV and 1TrainingCruiser since you only need 1CV to get AS at boss node. Katori or Akashi will make sure you avoid the maelstrom, seriously that maelstrom is bad omen.

>> Accuracy still over Damage, my main fleet BBs can even crush one Battleship Hime before nightfall, provided the support and CLTs torpedo hitting the right target.

>> Fubuki kai2 is for pure AACI this time, she becomes pure AA support with her night battle equipment removed.

>> Kitakami-sama, i don't understand why but with that 30 luck she had, she cut-in almost everytime with even just searchlight, while yukikaze on the other hand, being the flag and all.. .

>> It's just a matter of luck, snatching the final kill is very hard, you would want your kitakami to move in with cut-in for a huge damage, while the other ships clear the meatshields.

Comments: it took me 2 hours to clear E-1, 4 Hours for E-2, 3 Hours for E-3, 1 and a half day for E-4, and 7 days for E-5. i guess thats it, this concludes my first event. i wish you all who're still struggling.. a good luck.
