High exp and very low cost. | | * The best place to level DDs. You can take six of them at once and arrive at sub node 75% of the time. Furthermore you don't have to concern yourself with morale.

| + | ====Monthly Quest Bm4==== |
| + | *This quest requires three slow battleships (or BBVs), exactly one light cruiser, and two other ships, with an S-Rank at the boss node |
| + | :*For branching reasons, those two other ships should either be CAs or CAVs |
| + | *The main dangers are twofold |
| + | :* Enemy carriers can easily take AS against a fleet without seaplane bombers, leaving your fleet open to enemy artillery spotting |
| + | :* Carrying seaplane bombers means that BBVs and CAVs are forced to attack submarines, in any case, they're largely impotent against the Ka-flag, your only real ASW hitter will be the CL |
| + | |
| + | *Consider the following when building your fleet: |
| + | :*Using a seaplane fighter ''and'' a recon plane on BBVs and CAVs allows them to artillery spot while contributing air power to take AS |
| + | ::* 3 BBVs and 2 CAVs equipped with seaplane fighters and/or bombers allows for AS to be taken easily, but once again, seaplane bombers run the risk of being baited by subs |
| + | :*Double line formation is an ideal hybrid formation, allowing for both ASW and anti-surface combat |
| + | ::*ASW performance in Double Line is not as strong as that of Line Abreast, so a dedicated-ASW setup is in order. Performing pre-emptive ASW attacks requires a sonar and a nominal value of 100 ASW (of course, equipment contributes far more to damage) |
| + | :::*[[Isuzu Kai Ni]] can perform pre-emptive ASW attacks even if one does not have the equipment to reach 100 ASW |
| + | :::*Alternatively, [[Jintsuu Kai Ni]] has great base ASW and great base firepower, [[Yuubari]] has four slots with which to reach 100 ASW, [[Abukuma Kai Ni]] also has high base ASW, but will likely have to give up her pre-emptive torpedo |
| + | :::*If desperate, [[Naka Kai Ni]], [[Kinu]], and [[Yura]] all have base ASW values which start much higher than most other CLs (this is probably the only time that Yura and Kinu become serious recommendations) |
