The E2P1 boss is essentially an anti-installation equipment check.
The E2P1 boss is essentially an anti-installation equipment check.
There are two approaches to defeat the Boss. One involves a Surface Task Force allowing you to bring more firepower, the other a Transport Combined Fleet, enabling you to skip a dangerous Preboss Node

*Escort Fleet: '''1CL, 2 CA, 3 DD'''

* All ships will need an ''' initial speed of fast''' otherwise you will go to node F
* You cannot speed modify ships to take this route.
* The Main threat on this node will be node K which will feature some battle ships and carriers in the fleet that can possibly damage your fleet.
*In your main fleet, FBBs should use an AP shell, any CA(V)should use Type 3 Shells, AVs/ DDs in the main fleet should use a combination of Daihatsu, Tanks, WG42, Anti Ground Rockets or Mortars.
* Escort fleet should be armed to do double attack set ups. Any 4 slot CL should consider a 2 gun + WG42 / Anti-Ground Rocket set up, CAs should use a Type 3 shell and DDs should use a double attack with 2 guns + WG42 / Anti-Ground Rocket if possible.
*If necessary bring AA guns/skilled lookout to pick off any PT imps that survive the LBAS air strikes.

There are two options: Fast STF and Superheavy STF. Both will reach the boss fairly consistently, but expect LD to be more difficult to clear due to the boss' high armour on LD.

LD on hard mode is especially difficult as you will be pitted up against a powerful [[Heavy Cruiser Princess]] along with the [[Abyssal Mediterranean Princess]]. Both which will have extremly high armor (278 and 288 resepctively)
Friend Fleets may make LD somewhat easier once implemented. Until then, however, expect to face some difficulty in clearing as you are effectively rolling for crits against the boss' armour.
