Re: KanColle Headquarter! 迎撃！第二次マレー沖海戦
Full list of new Kanmusu:
Mutsuki class Minaduki
Submarine I-26
Italian Aircraft Carrier Aquila
Queen Elizabeth Battleship Warspite
Aquila and I-26 seem to be drops.
Also all the bosses have special Summer graphics.
EDIT: as suspected, Base Airborne Support makes a return. This event looks to be submarine hell.
Also Maruyu also drops from E-1 boss. Since this is a primarily anti-Sub map, this might be an excellent place to farm.
EDIT 2:
As mentioned before, E-1 is almost completely anti-Sub.
Boss is a Summer edition Submarine Princess with 3 subs for escort.
1 Light Carrier (Shouhou)
2 Light Cruiser (Isuzu and Yuubari)
3 Destroyer (Shigure, Верный, Libechio)
About 7 of 7 runs through BDFGI
Shouhou has 3 Torpedo Bombers and last slot Saiun.
Everyone else has Type 3 sets or Type 4s to bring them all to over 100 Anti-Sub stat to enable pre-emptive attacks, which is arguably the deciding factor on how easy it is to clear this on Hard.
Nodes B and D are practically freebies with 5 pre-emptive attacks vs. 3 subs.
Node G is vaguely threatening due to Flagship Ho Light Cruiser, though enemy's double line formation reduces threat of getting redlined by a lot.
EDIT 3: with the above setup, I can fairly reliably S victory the boss with no support and almost never redlining on-route. From what I've read, it may be possible to fit in a few more Light Cruisers in place of Destroyers.
I can also vouch that I-26 drops from E-1 boss
EDIT 4: also, rumor has it that E-3 requires certain ships for route locking. Current theories are Kongou, Haruna as well as 4 of Suzuya, Kumano, Choukai, Yura, Kinu, Fubuki, Shirayuki, Hatsuyuki.
EDIT: 5
Current list of notable drops (all from boss):
E-1: Akitsumaru, Maruyu, I-26
E-2: Prinz Eugen, Kashima. There have been reports of people getting 2nd Prinz Eugens, so if you're crazy enough this might be a good time to try farming SKC34s and FuMOs
E-3: Aquila, I-26
E-4: Amagi, Aquila, I-26
EDIT 6:
E-2 is a Standard Fleet version of a Transport Escort map.
Boss is a Summer edition Daison but only has Late-model non-elite Destroyers for escort.
1 Seaplane Carrier (Mizuho)
1 Aviation Cruiser (Tone)
1 Light Cruiser (Abukuma)
3 Destroyers (Kasumi 2, Ooshio 2, Teruduki)
This gives 6 of 6 FGHIM
Mizuho has Model 12 Zuiun, Type 2 Seaplane Fighter, and Midget Sub.
Tone has Model 12 Zuiun, FuMO, and 2 No.2s
Abukuma is Midget Sub + Torpedos
Teruduki is AA cutin. Remaining Destroyers are double shot + Daihatsu.
This setup is enough to get air superiority in H and I as well as do a fairly good job at S'ing the boss.
The Defend option of the Base Squad also seems to have gotten a fairly big buff. On Hard, your base can get hit for over a hundred damage easily but using Defend with all the Base-only Fighters so far you can consistently bring damage to only about 20 or so.
E-3 looks nasty...the node in front of the boss has 2 Summer Daisons on all difficulties, and the boss is an extremely tough (and waifu-able) Summer Harbour Hime with Deposit Depot Hime and 2 Cannon Imps for escort.
