Special Mechanics[]
- Selectable and changeable difficulty
- This event has 3 ranks: easy (丙), medium (乙), hard (甲).
- HQ Level 35 unlocks medium, HQ Level 80 unlocks hard.
- You can choose the difficulty in each map separately.
- However, this time around, you will not be able to jump from Easy -> Hard after a map. To be able to use "Hard" setting, you must clear the previous map either on Medium or Hard itself. Only jumping up two difficulty levels is not allowed, other combinations stick to the old rules.
- 【BAD】Easy > Easy > Hard (not possible because easy jumped to hard)
- 【OK】Easy > Medium > Hard
- 【OK】Medium > Easy > Medium
- 【OK】Medium > Medium > Hard
- 【OK】Hard > Hard > Easy
- 【OK】Hard > Hard > Medium
- However, this time around, you will not be able to jump from Easy -> Hard after a map. To be able to use "Hard" setting, you must clear the previous map either on Medium or Hard itself. Only jumping up two difficulty levels is not allowed, other combinations stick to the old rules.
- When the difficulty is changed, the boss's health bar will be reset.
- Once the map is cleared (boss HP bar is depleted and killed), you CANNOT change the difficulty anymore, but can still farm the map on the difficulty used to clear it
- Different difficulties give different medals, equipment and materials when clearing the maps.
- Combined Fleet in E-2, E-4 and E-6
- Manual Selection - As seen in many maps, you can manually select the path that you want to go instead of relying on RNG or branching rules to bring you there.
- Aerial Combat - In some map, you'll notice that there's only Air combat, which takes place twice instead of the usual shelling. This is an Aerial Combat node where only your CV/CVL or other ships with launch-able planes will be taking part in combat.

Event-specific FAQ[]
- Is there any Akizuki or Prinz Eugen drop in the event?
- There are no trustworthy reports on it so far.
- Should I reset the gauge to farm for drops?
- Starting from this event, boss pattern will no longer stay in final form after clearing the event. Instead they will revert to original pattern, so there's no need to reset if you were just concerned about the pattern. However, because it is impossible to change the difficulty after clearing a map, if you wish to clear a map on a different difficulty from the difficulty you are farming in, it would be wise to constantly reset the gauge by changing the difficulty back and forth to avoid accidentally clearing a map at an unintended difficulty level.
- Can I get all new ships, including the drop-only Roma and Takanami in all difficulties, including Easy?
- Yes. For further details about where you can obtain these drops, read the tables above. If you don't understand what those representations mean, then read the explanations under section heading. But do note that the drop rates in easier difficulties are likely to be lower than hard.
- What is this that appears on my ships?
- They are tags that mark your girls if they sortied to certain event maps, and can no longer be sortied to other restricted maps on Medium or Hard.
- In this event, blue text means the ship has been used in E-3, and can no longer be used on E-4 or E-5's medium or hard.
- Green text means the ship has been used in E-4, and can no longer be used on E-3 or E-5's medium or hard.
- Brown text means the ship has been used in E-5, and can no longer be used on E-3 or E-4's medium or hard.
- My ships are these ships with these levels and I have these equipments, what difficulty should I choose?
- Compare rewards across difficulties, check what difficulty that ship you want will drop at by looking at tables above, check your resources and buckets count, read enemy formations at different difficulties and then make your choice. If you still can't decide, do a trial run on the highest difficulty and see if you can handle it. If not, then decrease the difficulty.
