'''Historical Fleet Bonus Notes'''
* On E-7, ships that are tied to the '''Kurita, Suzuki, Nishimura, Shima and Ozawa Fleet''' will all recive historical bonuses which will allow them to do more damage against the boss fleets. (Please Read Historical Background for more details)
* Due to this, it's highly recommended to bring your strongest members that are tied to the historical fleets to get the performance out of them.

'''Preffered Composition:'''<br>
'''Fast STF composition'''<br>
Main Fleet: 4 (F)BB / 1 CV(B) / 1 CAV
<br/>
Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2 DD / 1-2 CA / 0-1 CLT / 0-1 CVL / 0-1 AO*
*AO should only be considered for Last Dance on Medium / Hard Difficulty
In this segment, your fleet will need to go through a series of battles against carriers, subs and other various ships while dealing with not having AS over the majority of the battles.
* It's highly recommended to bring strong historical ships for this segments as the fight against the boss in this phase is very high in armor.
* For your CV(B), use [[Zuikaku]] and arm her with the best possible fighters along with 1 Torpedo Bomber
* Your CAV should be equipped to haul Seaplane Fighters if possible to improve your air power.
* Node N will feature a [[New Submarine Princess]] along with [[Submarine So-Class]] in the mix. It's strongly advised to bring an ASW [[LBAS]] to this node, especially on Medium and Hard Difficulty.
* Node T will have 1-2 [[Aircraft Carrier Princess]] along with Nu-class Carriers, since the air power is strong, bring enough air power to at least prevent the enemy from being able to use Artillery spotting and CV Cut-Ins.
'''Node V - [[Battleship Water Demon Kai]]'''
In this boss battle, the [[Battleship Water Demon Kai]] will be a strong and powerful opponent as she will have lots of armor making her difficult to beat. If you are playing on Medium and Hard difficulty, bringing an [[LBAS]] to the boss is '''HIGHLY REQUIRED''' to have a chance at defeating the boss. However, due to the requirements this map needs to reach the boss please consider following:
*If you lack in any '''[[Type 2 Flying Boat]]''' for this segment, consider challenging this part on '''Casual or Easy Difficulty'''
*If you have 2-3 '''[[Type 2 Flying Boat]]''' for this segment, consider challenging the part on '''Medium and Hard Difficulty'''
The Distance needed to reach the boss node is '''11''' meaning only '''Land Base Bombers and a [[Type 2 Flying Boat]] are capable of reaching the boss node'''.
Using the combination of '''Historical Ships''', along with a '''Boss Support Fleet''', '''[[LBAS]]''', '''and '''Friend Fleet''' you will need to deliver a strong of a blow as you can against the Hime during the entire course of the battle.
* Ships such as [[Musashi]], [[Yamato]], [[Kongou]], [[Haruna]], and [[Zuikaku]] make good units to use for the Day Battle Segment
* Ships such as [[Myoukou]], [[Yukikaze]], [[Shigure]], etc that have strong strong torpedo cut can be useful for the night battle segment.
* Carrier Night Battle equipment such as the [[Night Deck Personel]] and Night planes like the [[F6F-3N]], [[F6F-5N]] and [[TBM-3D]] can make [[Zuihou]] a valuable asset to use in the night battle segment as she can hit beyond cap levels along with her historical bonus.
When you reach the final kill, the [[Battleship Water Demon Kai]] will get a larger boost in her armor ('''up to 305 on Hard''') along with an even stronger fleet ('''can have up to 2 [[Battleship Princess]] on Hard''') resulting in your fleet having to depend on crits and low armor rolls to deal suitable damage to her.
*Modifying Equipment is vital to helping improve your chances of succeeding against the boss.
*As a last resort option, bringing in an AO such as [[Hayasui]] or [[Kamoi]] for the final kill can help turn the tied of the battle.
**Since your fleet will arrive at the boss node with '''30% fuel and 40% ammo''' using [[Maritime Resupply]] can help reduce the ammo and fuel penalty your fleet would otherwise recive without it.
** Using 2 [[Maritime Resupply]] can completely null out the fuel and ammo penalty all together.
Once you have successfully defeated the [[Battleship Water Demon Kai]] the path to the [[Abyssal Crane Princess]] will open.
'''Suggested [[LBAS]]'''
'''Node N'''
*'''1 LBAS'''
*'''LBAS 1: 3 Toukai - Distance 8 needed'''
*'''LBAS 1: 3 ASW Planes, 1 [[Type 2 Flying Boat]] - (For those who don't have Toukai) Distance 8 needed'''
Since Node N has a powerful set of submarines, using an ASW LBAS is '''Highly Recommended''' to take out as many of the submarines as possible leaving only the New Submarine Princess left to deal with.
'''Node V'''
*'''2 LBAS'''
*'''LBAS 2: 3 Land Base Bombers , 1 [[Type 2 Flying Boat]] - Distance 11 needed'''
The Distance to reach this node to attack the [[Battleship Water Demon Kai]] is so great that this is the only possible way to reach it. The node also contains carriers, so do expect your planes to gradually lose rank over the course of attacking this node.
