Yaaay, I was getting tired of her spamming that voice line every hit \o/ Somehow my stocks of bucket and fuel barely went down. Expeditions and missions probably helped a bunch. Bauxite took major damage, though. Kirishima also dropped halfway through the last attempt, so now I only need Kongou to unlock that 4th fleet.
Looking up E-5, that 381mm/50 triple gun mount kai for medium clear looks super tasty, buuuut way too many flagships, and my resources aren't exactly prepared to deal with a remodeled flagship Wo again ;_; Looks like there's only one (light) carrier before the boss in Easy though, so I guess I can afford a standard carrier or two for this map.
Edit: Damn, Anchorage Water Demon is tough. I paired Mogami with a lv1 Mikuma to get that guaranteed 3-battles route, and the easiness of the route was compensated by how well the boss could shred my fleet, both in day and night battle. Especially night ;_; and during night battle she seems pretty resistant to non-sanshiki damage, so looks like I'm swapping Hibiki for Tone to carry sanshiki. Mikuma's too squishy and blows up in 1 hit, and the BBs are too important for killing the boss' escorts to deviate from their current loadout.
As usual, I can't air superiority the boss node without some serious investment ;_;
