What does this mean?

Oh looked it up. Some sort of temporary way to replay old events. Do we even have this system yet?

Nope. EN hasn't officially retired any events yet. We haven't even had a major event rerun except for Dyed Red.

Speaking of events, any bets on what the next one is? Think it'll be linked to Chaser, Curacoa and Curlew returning?

Orphane · June 2019

Finally got Clevelad and Lena, in the same 10 build even. Go figure

Sir Carcass · June 2019

I've gotten like 3 Lena's now but still no Clevelad.

Edit: I say that, then do a 3 pull for today and get her.

- World 12 and Hard World 8.
- Level Cap boost to 120. We endgame boyes!
- Skins and Das Bismarckhaus are being extended to the 19th.

Dracil · June 2019

Thank god for dorm extension. The amount of coins needed this time was ridiculous

Sir Carcass · June 2019

I only had to spend about 3100 coins on the dorm stuff for the achievement.

Synthesis · June 2019

I had ~4K in Dorm Coins (I tend to ignore event furniture), so it wasn't too hard to get.

Plus I still haven't paid the diamonds to buy a third dorm slot.

That is how much it costs to get one of every item in the set, yes.

The problem is, that amount is disproportionately large compared to even the previous most expensive sets which were more like 2k, 2.2k at the most I think.

Synthesis · June 2019

This was the first complete furniture set I ever bought, lucky me (presumably why I had so many coins). I'm sure there's an even more expensive event furniture set just around the corner, that I'll have to ignore, haha.

I've run into a first for me: I've saved up enough cubes, but I really don't have enough money to go RNG trolling ten orders at a time. I've gotten 3 of the 4 Iron Blood Ships (only missing that new Z-type destroyer, which I can live with), and I rather have Atago than either mini-Cleveland or Helena to be honest. Instead, all I've gotten of worth so far is a duplicate Belfast (one more Prototype Bulin and I can fully limit break her, so it's not all bad news).

Damn it, I want Atago already. I really need another good Sakura vanguard ship, and my choices are very slim presently (aside from Takao).

Synthesis · June 2019

I'm sure I asked this for the last event as well: since I have both George V and Bismark, what would you recommend me spending the Iron Blood event currency on?

TNTrooper · June 2019

Well since there is no store exclusive furniture this time. PR Blueprints can help speed up a very long and annoying grind. You will always need more T3 equipment plates so those are safe and cheapo buy. If you are feeling lucky and need better equipment there is always the gold equipment boxes just ignore the loading screen picture on how they are made.

Ianator · June 2019

L'il Sandy and Iron Blood Podium acquired. Now I just need to finish Chapter D and get 10k coins to max LB my KGV.

If you haven't done D3, like mentioned, don't auto-battle the boss. I would hang back at either the top or bottom of the screen, because she shoots out that black hole in the middle and it's pretty nasty. Use airstrikes when she does her barrage.

TNTrooper · June 2019

And once you are done with D3 don't forget to jump into the EX stage and see how fast it kicks your butt.

I know better than to auto high-level bosses. Even on D2 I'm still going manual on my CA clearing fleet.

Ianator · June 2019

Aaand done. I got half a mind to draw Bismarck as a mecha musume Huckebein.

Synthesis · June 2019

I'm just going to leave this here.

Completely without any context (except that it makes more sense if you've seen all the Kizuna Ai Everybody parodies.)

Ianator · June 2019

Acasta! Looks like our next event is Glorious Battle.

TNTrooper · June 2019

Oh good just a map grind so I can stock up more cubes.

Ianator · June 2019

Oh my word, Chapter 10 punishes you for playing casual. This may be the first time a non-event boss has erased my fleet so handily.

Ianator · June 2019

Patchnotes.

- Glorious Battle event starts after tonight's maint and runs through the 26th. Glorious and Acasta skins available during the event, Acasta and Ardent retrofits coming as well.
- Glorious and Yamashiro secretary quests.
- Voices for Li'l Sandy, Lena and Clevelad.
- Scherzo exchange, dorm and skins are leaving tonight.

TNTrooper · June 2019

Forbin and Le Mars announced. Next event is Iris of the Light and the Dark.

Ianator · June 2019

Well, that was fortuitous. Got Glorious on run #20 of SP3. Means I can start stocking cubes for Iris.

I actually got her on my first clear of SP3, and I wasn't sure if that was supposed to happen or if I was just extremely lucky.

Ianator · June 2019

Emile Bertin retro coming to EN, neat.

Forbin and Le Mars too but those were present in the first run. Between them and Acasta+Ardent, RIP DD Retro prints I guess

TNTrooper · June 2019

Well thanks to farming for Glorious I finished the Monarch grind. Guess I should start worrying about not having a third Sakura cruiser leveled and skilled up.

Ianator · June 2019

Patchnotes.

- Glorious Battle ends tonight, Iris of Light and Dark starts tomorrow.
- New items in Tech Boxes: Type 91 Piercing Shell (Sakura?), 152mm Mounted Gun (Sakura?), Sea Gladiator (Royal)
- Core Data: Swordfish (818 Squad), Type 1 Piercing Shell and Type 94 AA Device incoming, Twin 381mm Advanced Gun departing.
- Javelin's "Very Slow Advance!" skin event.
- Z18 is July's monthly login ship.

TNTrooper · June 2019

Rip core data.

Orphane · June 2019

I don't know that the Swordfish(818) or Type 94 AA aux are really necessary unless you want the utility of the slow on the Swordfish

but that Type 1 AP shell tho

PS I have like 40 clears to get guaranteed Glorious and haven't built or got her as a drop so far

I can do it, but....do I really want to for Glorious is the question

TNTrooper · June 2019

The slow is nice in when you run 2 CVs the one with faster takeoff slows with Swordfish 818 the second comes in with Ryusei for the kill. After that I want BB shells sorta weird they are only doing Type 1 AP and not SHS though.

Orphane · June 2019

got Glorious on my 31st run

that's a relief since farming SP3 was...hella tedious

now i can just relax and prepare for Iris after maint

Ianator · June 2019

Yep. I hate hate hate farming stages like that. Autobattle is hands-on enough to keep me on my tablet when I'd rather be doing/playing something else.

Also wtf, Iris is only going to run for two weeks?

Orphane · June 2019

Servers are up.

Got all ships in build within 50 builds, I think

I got an absurd number of Surcoufs

also finished this:

I got her in the second to last battle of my third clearing of SP3...the night before the event ended. I guess it's return for all my fruitless 3-4 farming. I got either 2 or 3 of the event's ships, which I'm fine with.

Aye, looks like you would've missed Ardent from 20 clears of SP3 or as a chance to drop from SP2.

I checked and you're correct. Honestly, I wasn't sure if I got Ardent or not, but I wasn't that interested (I've got an abundance of Royal Navy ships for different roles, unlike Sakura Empire, where I'm short multiple categories).

Ianator · July 2019

4th of July patchnotes

- Iris rerun skins
- PR skins
- EN-exclusive dorm deco, "Clevedad's Wave Breaker", delivered by mail on the 4th

In the meantime, how's everyone doing? I managed to pull three Forbin on one 10-pull.

Synthesis · July 2019

I got Dunkurque and Massachusetts via RNG build so, aside from eventually spending the event currency, there's really no other event ships I particularly want? So I'm just sitting on cubes now (I also spent a lot of money on skill books and premium dorm food).

Sir Carcass · July 2019

The only ship I'm missing is Dunkerque, I think. Thankfully I've only gotten one duplicate from building so far (the sub, who's name I can't remember), but I haven't gone crazy (I've been doing 10 per day).

Orphane · July 2019

i've been doing daily builds but focusing on farming d2 since that's where the gold french mle DD gun bps drop

it's one of the best DD guns so i want to get at least 2-3 copies i think
