Ugh, I will never understand developers that make events that are anti-newbie, it's like they *want* me to get frustrated and leave.

Normal events in AL have more stages and higher enemy levels than collab events. A normal event has 12 stages, and enemy levels start at 30 and scale up to 100-110, while collab events have 4 stages, with enemies starting at 15 and scaling up to 80 (not counting SP or EX in either case). Collab events are actually fairly newbie friendly for AL (normal events have gentler difficulty scaling since they have more maps though, and you only have to finish half the maps to get the full event story).

Ship drop chances on the event maps are pretty much the same as in the campaign, there's no real difference in drop chance. Upgrade mats and equipment box drops are also the same, the main difference between event and campaign is just the specific ship and equipment drops.

As a newbie, your best bet is honestly just grinding on SP1 to level up until your fleets can take SP2, then rinse and repeat until you can progress further. Open any boxes that drop for you to get equipment. Don't bother with the campaign for now, even if the XP for SP1 is "bad", you're still farming collab points while you farm XP, and SP1 actually does have a chance to drop some decent "starter" battleships (Nelson and Queen Elizabeth, though Iori is better than either for a new player if you pull her from the gacha).

Just make sure that you aren't falling for the newbie trap of assuming you should kill everything on the map each time. Ideally, you should use one fleet to kill mob fleets until the boss appears, then switch to the other fleet to kill the boss. SP1 and SP2 in this event only require 4 kills before the boss, so for these stages you can make do with just a single fleet if you prefer without that fleet running out of ammo.
