**[[PBY-5A_Catalina]] can only extend the reach by 2 meaning any planes used from there will need to have a range of 7

**[[PBY-5A_Catalina]] can only extend the reach by 2 meaning any planes used from there will need to have a range of 7

**If you lack the planes to travel that distance, it's recommended to target Node I with Land Attackers and fighters since a [[Harbour Summer Princess]] and [[Supply Depot Princess]] is present at that node.

**If you lack the planes to travel that distance, it's recommended to target Node I with Land Attackers and fighters since a [[Harbour Summer Princess]] and [[Supply Depot Princess]] is present at that node.

*Node J is a night battle Node which will have 1-2 [[Battleship Princess]]es present, Bring night battle gear to minimize the chances of them doing a night battle cut in.

 

*The boss's armor debuff requires S-ranking nodes C, D, H, I, and K (You will only need to successfully beat 4 of them). After returning to the naval base, you will hear a ding, and the boss's voice will change.

** Surface Task is needed to reach node C for [[Armor Reduction]].  

*Debuffing the boss requires S-ranking nodes '''four of the five''' nodes C, D, H, I, and K. After returning to the naval base, you will hear the quest completion sound, and the boss's voice line will change.

** Surface Task Force is needed to reach node C for [[Armor Reduction]].  

** Carrier Task Force is needed for Node D and H [[Armor Reduction]].

** Carrier Task Force is needed for Node D and H [[Armor Reduction]].

** To complete node I requirements for the [[Armor Reduction]], it's recommended to assemble a concentrated attack using Land Attackers and fighters on that node.

** To complete node I requirements for the [[Armor Reduction]], it's recommended to assemble a concentrated attack using Land Attackers and fighters on that node, along with bringing anti-installation equipment, before retreating.

** Node K is a night battle that will require some strong damaging cut-in equipment set ups to be able to take down the battleship hime(s) if you aim to use this node for [[Armor Reduction]].

**Nodes C,D,H,I are generally considered the easier nodes to complete for the [[Armor Reduction]] method.  

**Nodes C,D,H,I are probably considered the easier nodes to complete for the [[Armor Reduction]] method.  

 

*During the boss runs, it's highly recommend to concentrate your [[LBAS]] attacks on Node I as it'll become easier if [[Summer Harbor Princess]] and [[Supply Depot Princess]] are left without planes which will allow them to attack you. In addition, since Land Attackers are strong against installations you can also likely take out at least [[Supply Depot Princess]] making it easier to wipe out [[Summer Harbor Princess]]'s planes (preventing her from being able to attack during shelling)

*Echelon formation is recommended to help bypass the Night Battle Node with the Battle Ship Princess(es) as it will reduce cut-in chances and reduce crit probability.  

*During the boss runs, it's highly recommend to concentrate your [[LBAS]] attacks on Node I. Land-based bombers in particular have a tendency to be strong against installations such as [[Supply Depot Princess]], greatly reducing the chances of you having to face both princesses at once.

*By the time you reach the [[Summer Heavy Cruiser Princess]] and her boss fleet using the shortest path to reach her, your fleet will have only 5% fuel and 30% ammo. This will result in a very difficult battle up ahead, especially on harder difficulties, as your ships are likely to take serious damage while inflicting only light damage on the enemy ships.

**If you choose to bring [[Hayasui]] bring two [[Maritime Resupply|Maritime Resupplies]] as this will boost your fuel to 55% and ammo to 80% for the boss node, allowing your ships to deal much more damage.

**[[Summer Harbor Princess]] and [[Supply Depot Princess]] count as carriers for shelling purposes (even though they have guns), as such, they cannot attack in the day if they are out of planes or if they are at moderate damage (they can still attack at night, though)

**On Hard difficulty it's likely you will have a hard time defeating the [[Summer Heavy Cruiser Princess]] if you don't plan to bring [[Hayasui]] and use [[Maritime Resupply|Maritime Resupplies]]. However, on Normal and Easy it is possible to deliver the final kill regardless of whether you choose to use Hayasui.

*For taking down the [[Summer Heavy Cruiser Princess]] it's recommended to have a good number of fleet members who can perform torpedo cut-in since that will likely take her out.

*Echelon formation has been shown to provide a marginal, but likely insignificant, increase in evasion in battles starting at night; which comes at the cost of a severe and significant accuracy penalty. <ref>http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-37.html</ref>

*A searchlight provides an accuracy and cut-in bonus to your fleet while reducing enemy cut-in rates, but also confers evasion penalties to the ship carrying it (who is also targeted more often)

**A starshell confers the same bonus as a searchlight, but without the accuracy and targeting penalty, in return, it does not always trigger. The effect of multiple starshells do not stack, but carrying multiples will only require one to trigger successfully.

*By the time you reach the [[Summer Heavy Cruiser Princess]] and her boss fleet using the shortest path to reach her, your fleet will have only 5% fuel and 30% ammo. 30% ammo results in a 60% total damage modifier on all your attacks (after deducting enemy armor).

**Bringing Hayasui is a possible option for this map, placing her in escort fleet with torpedo bombers allows her to shell near the daytime cap (crucially, escort fleet planes do NOT take part in aerial combat and are hence NOT shot down).  

**Nonetheless, it is possible to deliver the final kill regardless of whether you choose to do so.

*For taking down the [[Summer Heavy Cruiser Princess]] it's recommended to have a good number of fleet members who can perform torpedo cut-in attacks.
