***Using [[Isuzu|Isuzu Kai Ni]] or any DD/CL that has ASW stats that go over 100, or DE that has an ASW of 60 or higher will allow them to perform a [[Combat#Anti-Sub_Warfare|Pre-emptive ASW attack]], which can be very helpful on this map. It can easily turn this map to your advantage for the most part.

*To reach the boss, a fleet of no more than 4 ships is required.

*To reach the boss, a fleet of no more than 4 ships is required.

**A fleet with 3 or fewer ships disallows the choice of formations (defaulting to Line Ahead), which has a low modifier for ASW damage. Therefore, it is critical that exactly 4 ships are deployed.

**Nodes F and G consist of very strong enemies, even after being adjusted to your admiral level. Make sure you satisfy the fleet requirements above and have at least 1 DD or 1 CL in order to reach the boss safely.

* 2-4 DD/DE, 0-2 CL capable of [[Combat#Anti-Sub_Warfare|Pre-emptive ASW attack]] is recommended for experienced players since the DD and CL will be able to perform two rounds of ASW attacks without the need for a BBV (useful if you want to save your resources).

**Critically, this levelling method works best '''after''' level 80, as throwaway destroyers without ASW equipment are unable to defeat the armor of the most subs on the map, guaranteeing your flag an MVP.
