Changes

E4 is a very long and complex map overall compare to the previous maps in Main Operations. There are a total of main phases/bosses to do and kill in order to fully clear the map. In addition, there are also 4 different tags in this map. Teal (Strike Force), Red (TCF), Blue (CTF), and Green (Combined Fleet). The blue tag (3rd Fleet) is a recycled tag that was used in E2P2 when doing battle against Heavy Cruiser Hime. So it is possible to reuse some of the ships used in that particular phase here.

===Phase 1===

===Phase 1: Defeat Lycoris Hime===

This phase will pit you against Lycoris and Supply Depot Hime. The key to successfully clearing this phase is to bring lots of anti-installation equipment to kill the boss as quickly as possible. The route you take will pit you against 2 ASW Node and 2 Air raid node. Make sure you have adequate AACI, ASW, and anti-installation equipment to tackle this phase.
