KanColle Headquarter!

[wind_zero]

Re: KanColle Headquarter! 反撃！第二次SN作戦

Planning to go E2 Medium as well. Any tips?

You can go with 1st fleet: 2BB, 2CA, 2CVL.
2nd fleet 1CL, 2DD, 1FBB, 1CLT and 1 CA.
Choose your ship carefully if you want to try med, there are some special branching rules for E4 and E6.
--------
I'm trying E3 hard...
1st run: can't kill boss but boss taiha...
2nd run: clean kill on boss but I can't get a S rank, 2 AC demon is so strong.
3rd run: retreat because taiho taiha in aerial combat...
4th run: best run so far, go to night battle with 2 AC demon heavy and boss with 1xx HP but thanks to KTKM for not CI so I can't kill boss and get S rank.
But I think I'll go med because I want Mizuho, get S rank in hard is really hard for me. My bauxite is not enough for farming easy and clear hard :(.

Re: KanColle Headquarter! 反撃！第二次SN作戦

I'm right to choose E3 medium: 2 runs, 2 S, kill boss in daytime on 2nd run. No Mizuho. Well i don't expect to get her on clearing E3. I can go back and farm for her after E7. It's very easy to get S rank. ^^

Spoiler: E3

Edit1: 3rd run S rank. 4th run retreat due Yukikaze is heavy damage because green T at preboss >.<. 3 more left, no Mizuho.

Edit2: 5th and 6th run smoothly, 2 S. No Mizuho... performance is decreased because 5 bomber squads loss rank. I'll take a break for 1-1 rank farming + sparkle CV/CVL.

What are your equips? Because I have a hard time getting S on EASY even though all my ships are lv70+...

to gain air superiority at hard requires 380+ AS at boss node. For Easy or Medium it would be lesser. I used Full Reppus and Shiden Kai 2 for my CVs and Full Torp Bombers on my CVLs.

Get two DD with AAAD to pewpew the planes. BBs have AP shells equip cuz boss has high armor.

You can use this link to see my CV/CVL setup. I think that site has good update. The calculation is precise. But first you should max rank all you green planes ( the planes that you will use ).
There is update for E3 easy boss and boss final. If you don't know how to use, here the AS you need for E3 easy: Boss - 202, final boss - 286.
You can use the old formula. If max rank then plus additional 25 FP for each reppu: sqr(slot) x AA stat + 25.
With new mechanic you can easily get AS with reppu on lower slot and bomber on higher slot which increase damage for air strike and shelling. :)
My other setup:
- BB: cut in with AP.
- Bucky: AACI; Yukikaze: 2 torp, 1 start shell
- Haguro: 2 20.3cm no2, night scout, FuMO. Choukai: 2 20.3cm no2, recon, torp
- Abukuma and KTKM: 1 type A + 2 torp.

Anyway, i clear E3 medium. 6 attemps, 1 retreat, 5 clean kill ( S rank ) before final form. 3 attemps, 1 clean kill ( no S ) in final form. Still no Mizuho. I'll return to farm her after. >.<

Spoiler: Abukuma last hit

Resources used: about 6k fuel, ammo and bauxite, 3k steel. That's cheap for combined fleet :D.

Starting E3 Med

Spoiler: Setup

Main fleet

Escort fleet

PD: My plane setup will get you 382 AS without counting the new plane mechanics so it should be overkill

 

[DreamCa7ch3r]

Re: KanColle Headquarter! 反撃！第二次SN作戦

Thanks for the setup. Most of my green planes got max rank from previous maps so there wasn't any issue there. I must have used about 10k fuel for E-3 alone, 15k for E-1 > E-4 in total. Chipped away until I had a stroke of luck where Kitakami sunk the boss with a double attack. Which is funny because if Italia even managed to hit any ship it was always scratch damage :/

Re: KanColle Headquarter! 反撃！第二次SN作戦

wow I can't even reach the boss node on E2 Medium without getting heavy damage before

Re: KanColle Headquarter! 反撃！第二次SN作戦

[MENTION=33830]moemoe-kyun[/MENTION]; Congrats on clearing E-3, lucky shot. Abukuma just stole KTKM's spotlight, there will be blood!

[MENTION=99902]Menemy[/MENTION]; Good Luck with E-3! Just go all out. No need to bother with special branching for E-6.



I tried to on Kancolle over here and all I get are cat errors. :( Bye PVP and expeditions.

Sadly luck is not on my side, i have been getting error cats all day...

 

[moemoe-kyun]

Re: KanColle Headquarter! 反撃！第二次SN作戦

@pichu show me your setup.

@Menemy Good luck with E3 medium. The final form is really trouble. >.<.

@Fire I'm farming Umi-chan in E4 easy. About 15 runs from yesterday... only 9 S, few A and a lots of retreats... She still doesn't want to join ;_;

Listening this one now.

Edit: more than 20 runs, total 17 S rank, no Umi-chan. Goodbye Umi-chan. ;_;

Re: KanColle Headquarter! 反撃！第二次SN作戦

Got tired of KCV c***blocking me at E3, going full API mode. Wish me luck lads




Update: E3 is going well, slowly i'm clearing it while watching anime (Ep 71 of Legend of the Galactic Heroes). 3 and a half kills from 5 runs

All those KC cosplays at Comiket 88. the Shigure cosplay.
Also Kirishiman, Nagaman, Ikuman & Shimankaze cannot unseen. Still interesting though.

Re: KanColle Headquarter! 反撃！第二次SN作戦

Is anyone close to E-6 medium yet?
It's pretty bad.

Using Carrier fleet 10k ammo gone only 1/2 the boss hp bar chipped away

Re: KanColle Headquarter! 反撃！第二次SN作戦

Well, I can't imagine how E-7 gonna turn out then. Have to run multiple sorties in a day or else even more salt. Imagine the resources cost for side tracking.
This is only a problem for us with no pool of resources to swim in. :(

For E-6, just use Maya-sama? I don't see what's so hard. Someone's Maya AACI actually disable Princess's shelling phase. Else sortie Yamato!

Musashi in my case. Problem is the pre-boss nodes. Always get heavy damage. I got to the boss node once and it was a clean kill. By the way things are going I believe I have enough resources for about 20 more tries and after that back to stockpiling for a time.
I won't even try E-7, planning to farm for Umikaze. Already got some drops I like, like my first Hiryuu, Abukuma and Harusame ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) + the event reward ships so all in all I'm pretty satisfied, just need that catapult thingy.

I sortied 5 times and 4/5 were failures. Not really worried about ammo, since I started with over 100k and still have a bit above 80k left, the problem is my fuel which keeps dropping really fast.

Fleet 1:
Yamato Kai
Nagato Kai
Jun'you Kai ni
Hiryuu Kai ni
Souryuu Kai ni
Kaga Kai

Fleet 2:
Haruna Kai ni
Verniy
Fubuki Kai ni
Sendai Kai ni
Maya Kai ni
Kumano Kai

Kinda messed up my locking slightly.....was gonna place Furutaka Kai ni in fleet 2 but well branching rules kinda screwed that up when i realized Fubuki and Furutaka cant be on the same fleet.

Wikia says no, and I haven't gotten any. I hoped for her too, but I guess not this time.

[MENTION=23970]Shir0[/MENTION]; Oh, here's the Shigure swimwear cosplay.

Spoiler: Shigure NSFW

Found RO-man & Akatsuki-man. Quite a number of dudes cosplaying KC characters. Plus, good luck with your event.

[MENTION=73341]DreamCa7ch3r[/MENTION]; One wrong. Best setup for Maya-sama : 20.3cm(no.3), 90mm HA, 25mm Concentrated, Type 14 / FuMO radar.

[MENTION=99902]Menemy[/MENTION]; Congrats on clearing E-3. Doesn't seems to be a threat to you.

[MENTION=20868]Icehellion[/MENTION]; No point in setting up branching ships when you're using Carrier Task. I don't see the point of going Surface Task for E-6 either, unless you want more pain.

Spoiler: When hot weather and bored combines. NSFW

I got nothing better to do so, render and photoshop time.
