E-3 took a whole chunk of Resources from me and I had to do this for like 5 to 6 hours before finally advancing. Tried to clear Hard with a lot of non-Kai Ni lv60~80 ships yet failed so had to resort to bringing out Kaga, Taihou, Musashi and more heavier ships to get rid of this bitch.
I feel I would not be able to clear E-3 as it already been 4 days and that 1% bar of hp is driving my insanity apart and use almost half of my resources that I had started with trying to clear it...
This event hard mode was made for lv 99 ships with +100,000 each in resources. It's a relief the reward differences between medium and hard are only consumables and medals. From 20+ sorties I did in this map with my best units, only 2 made it to S rank and 5 managed to do a scratch on the boss. I had enough, I'm doing this one and probably the rest on medium too. At least I know the last dance is doable on medium.
P.S.: And after a lot of Haruna on hard, Mizuho appears the second time I do a clean kill on medium. Now that's what I call a piece of cake... and probably my luck totally depleted for the rest of the event.
