It always started at 40% on DMM. One indication it's bugged on Nutaku is that the number doesn't change if a team dies.

Where, as much as i gathered, equip matters jack.

i know the break-thingie-argument to equip your gals, i wondered if it's any good outside of that.

Equipment stats count for the ship and are therefor vital.

balls. gotta go hit dem reissued left-over points for jewelry now

Whaleship is still very do-able. I'm not a good example, but I only lost maybe 10~15% of my HP. I would imagine most can do W6-5 will probably 30% or so hp left. Well, as long as they are not a fairly new player.

Whaleship RNG too stronk. You can lose one run and finish the next at 50%.

New whale missions still easy enough to clear, 6-5 comes close but with that new break mechanic it's not terrible.

Pretty much this. If it's too hard for some, then that's a prime indicator that you need to improve your girls; level, evo/bloom, equipment, affection/2nd affection, ampies. Don't forget about the new Promotion skills (1st turn ATK up is by far the best choice, a tanky unit with Taunt (and some form of Evade) can help ensure your stronger units don't die first).

Oh, and 6-5 is not advisable to just hit Start and ignore; make use of your Solar Blasts (try and reserve for the Ancient Pest exclusively since it adds a lot to the faint meter). Have one girl in the crew who can spawn solar shrine nodes on the map (Strawberry Candle, Nigella); having another who spawns healing nodes (Chocolate Cosmos, Lantana) can help (though usually it seems like 1-2 nodes spawn after the mid-boss Pest).

I lost on whale boat mission 6-5...

I was literally 1 hit away from victory...

Welp. There goes the rest of my motivation for the rest of the day. DX
