*** No BB(V) or CV(L) are allowed on this route.

*** No BB(V)s or CV(L)s are allowed.

*** If not using 4DD or 3DD+1CL, two ships need to be each equipped with a [[Drum Canister]] each in order to guarantee going to node A

*** It's possible to bring 0-2 CLT

*** It's also possible to bring 0-2 CLT, using [[Abukuma Kai Ni]] allows you to add on an additional opening torpedo with no penalty

**** Zero makes the first node more dangerous because it's more likely for an enemy to survive until the torpedo phase.  On the other hand, a high level (Kai ni) CA or Prinz Eugen Kai are sturdier and less likely to get one-shot to heavy "red" damage.

*** North route (including boss node) doesn't have any enemy carriers, so it's possible to get AS+ with just seaplane bombers, enabling Artillery Spotting

***Quest BM7 requires 4DD, 1CA ('''not''' CAV), and 1CL

***Quest BM7 requires 4DD, 1CA ('''not''' CAV), and 1CL

***it is recommended to equip Seaplane Bombers on [[Zara]] if you own her. This will increase your chances of completing the quest since she grants your fleet an opportunity to launch double attacks at the boss node.

***The main consideration for this quest is achieving an LOS of about 60 with 4DDs in the fleet

* '''Summary:'''

***The best DDs to choose are those with good LoS (Akatsuki, Fubuki, etc.), or those with high attack power (Yuudachi, Ayanami, etc.)

****Jintsuu has the highest raw power of any CL in the game, and is a strong choice if [[Zara]] is used

****Ooyodo has the highest base LoS of the CLs, and comes with a fourth slot to carry an extra seaplane

****Yuubari is an option as well, as she can carry seaplanes in her fourth slot (No, don't ask how a slot of no seaplanes can scout)

****[[Zara]] or [[Pola]] are other possibilities, as they can carry seaplane bombers, enabling you to take AS at the first and boss node. [[Abukuma]] doesn't benefit from artillery spotting though.

****If you don't have either of those groups or are struggling to meet LoS requirements, the unremodelled Tone-Class have the highest LoS stats of all standard CAs.
