:::A major consideration in forming a fleet is the presence of the submarine at the boss, which will draw attacks from seaplane-bomber equipped ships in addition to the usual CL(T)s and DDs

::*Alternatively, you could utilize [[Akitsu Maru]] for air superiority. Note that since she is a slow ship, you need to use an all-fast fleet anymore. However, you will have a high chance of going to the dangerous submarine node.

::*It's also possible to use a submarine-only (5/6SS) fleet; this fleet can get to pre-boss rather easily, accepting a D loss at node B. However, it also has a high chance of being offrouted to node J from the penultimate node I. Nonetheless, this option is very light on the resources and worth a try if one has the time to wait for short repairs.

:::In all cases, bringing a boss support expedition is an option, as the support fleet can greatly damage or even outright destroy the enemy Wa-Class Elite.

::*Despite all nodes being night-battle only, it is '''not recommended''' to bring night-battle cut-in setups (e.g. torpedo setups) on any ship. Enemies faced in this map can still be easily sunk by less-powerful but far more reliable double attack setups.

::*Unless you are using Akitsu Maru, there is almost no reason to use recon seaplanes (with the exception of the [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)|night recon plane]]) since you will always be at Air Denial.

::*It's also possible to get AP or AS with seaplane bombers, but this would result in those ships carrying seaplane bombers targeting the submarine at the boss first, which can be highly problematic. It is therefore ''not recommended'' to use seaplane bombers.

:::*Now that seaplane fighters (e.g. [[Ro.44 Seaplane Fighter]]) recieve fighter veterancy, taking AP or even AS with CAVs and/or Littorio-Class FBBs is now possible at the boss, though such a setup carries the risks of unfavorable routing to F and high costs of bringing the FBB.
