Well the time has come! To partake in the seasonal great hunt! I shall be streaming starting now until at least I beat E-1 or get tired.
So without further adue
LET THE GREAT HUNT BEGIN!!!The Night of the Grand Hunt - The Second SN Operation: The Kancolle Daily Event MegaStream: http://original.livestream.com/totakuE-1 Stream is over! The Hunt was successful! E-1 - Why Destroyers can be such terrible things....Note: The following is being done in Harcore Difficulty... your milage may vary depending on the difficulty you use....E-1 on the most part could be considered simple.... if you done research on the area you're fighting in.....
Long story short, you need to make sure your kanmusus are mostly light if you're going to complete it the hard way, because you'll be redirected and dead ended or wrecked.... however there's one key player that cam get you to the boss in two battles....
Kikuzuki (As seen as the flagship)....
By using her you can evade most of the hard fights and go through only the destroyer blockade at node A.
The Destroyer Blockage at node A is not hard...assuming your kanmusu hit the late model DDs... Since if they are left alone, thier torpedo will likely wreck you. Same cam sometime apply to the Ni-Class Light Cruiser who can sometime crit you... but he's less of a concern.
When you make it past that Kikuzuki will lead you to a supply node and then to the Boss node..
The boss node has you face off against a familiar opponent from before..
The Destroyer HimeBecause you're using Kikuzuki, your punches aren't going to be all that great, so you'll need to compensate this by bringing in some decent fleet memebers. The crew I showed before hand worked for the first 5 kills (kinda..) but for the last kill it got ugly...
During the early fights she comes with a pack of late model DDs. Which as mentioned before are threatening... but the real theat comes later on in the final kill...
These new improved DDs are strong enough to plow through your Destoyers like butter with thier firepower alone! Thus making them far more dangerous than you likely anticipated to be... to top it off... they are massively dodgy! Thus very hard to kill in general.
I actually struggled a bit, with this map, but thankfully I did pull through after switching out Hatsukaze for Suzuya (She was strong enough to kill the Hime).... I do however think this as a sign to not treat any of the future maps as lightly.... As anyone playing hard mode will have to deal with these thing... rather often!
With the Hime and her deadly DD crew dead the victory was claimed...
And my prizes were....
A Carpenter Fairy,
A Mamiya Ice Cream,
2 Reinforcement Expansions
And 4 Battle Rations
The reinforcement expansion allows you to create a extra equipment slot for your kanmusu! However thise new slot is not in the usual location, as it servers as a consumable equip slot.
Basically if you purchase this or obtain this item, you'll be able to make a slot where you can put a consumable item in there to use during the battle this way you don't have to stick it in your equip slot!
This includes Repair Crew, Battle Rations, and Maritime Supplies so choose wilsely who to give this to. Your ship must also be over level 30 to use it!
Combat Rations are used to give your Kanmusus a moral boost in the middle of the fight! The one holding the item will get a large boost, she will also share it with two other members beside her in the composition (above and below) allowing them to gain a small boost! So in a way this can be used to give a tied changer in the battle field, but otherwise, once it's used it's gone. So plan carefully before using your combat rations to decided the best time!
That's it form me for now... I shall now prepare for my quest for E-2.... I'm certain I'm going to be tested real well here...
Resource wise I only spend 1000 fuel + ammo... the real culprit is buckets.... which I loss 35 of them....
