− | *(To be updated.) | + | *5-5 is one of the few maps that has arguably become more difficult after the Phase 2 update. |
| + | **2 of the pre-clear boss compositions now contain 2 Elite Re-class Abyssals. |
| + | **The [[Southern War Princess]] has also gained additional armour (see below). |
| + | **The addition of Tsu-class Abyssals to multiple nodes has also made the map potentially more costly in terms of bauxite. |
| + | **Pre-boss Node P still has the chance of containing an Elite Re-class in Line Ahead. |
| + | **Depending on your choice of ships (and also dependent on engagement modifiers & enemy fleet formation), bulges equipped in Reinforcement Expansion slots may improve survivability against opening torpedoes. |
| + | **Support Expedition(s) may help as well. |
| + | *However, routing to the boss is now guaranteed with the correct composition(s) and sufficient LoS. Speed is also no longer a major factor in determining routing. |
| + | *Viable Fleets: |
| + | **4(F)BB(V)/CV(L/B) + 2XX: '''B-K-P-S''' or '''B-F-J-P-S''' |
| + | ***LoS required: F33 Cn1 X ≥ 44 |
| + | ***Maximum of 4 (F)BB(V)/CV(L/B), otherwise chance of off-routing at pre-boss node P. |
| + | ***Routing B->K or B->F will depend on whether fleet has X≥2DDs, as well as whether fleet has X≥3CV(B)s. |
| + | ***F is a choice node. For the above fleet, routing to J is recommended as D is a maelstrom node, and fleet comp will route to P after H anyway. |
| + | ***CAVs can help provide additional fighter power, allowing for optimised set-ups on CVs. |
| + | ***[[Ise|Ise Kai Ni]] is another option if additional fighter power is needed. However, keep in mind that she is significantly weaker in terms of firepower compared to almost every other battleship. |
| + | ***[[Nelson]] can help with firepower output at the boss with her special attack. |
| + | ***[[Nagato|Nagato Kai Ni's]] special attack not recommended as unlike Nelson, Nagato's special attack requires Echelon formation (Nelson's requires Double Line), which significantly reduces firepower output (even relative to Double Line). |
| + | ***Seaplane Bombers should not be used in smaller slots due to the potential presence of multiple Tsu-class Abyssals along this route. |
| + | **(South Route to be updated.) |

| *As of the [[Game Updates/2019/January 22nd|January 22nd]] update, the [[Southern War Princess]] has retained her buff from the [[Winter 2019 Event]]. Her escorts have been slightly weakened to compensate for this. | | *As of the [[Game Updates/2019/January 22nd|January 22nd]] update, the [[Southern War Princess]] has retained her buff from the [[Winter 2019 Event]].
