| '''Step 4: Complete the Debuff for the Anti-Air Cruiser Princess on Final Kill''' | | '''Step 4: Complete the Debuff for the Anti-Air Cruiser Princess on Final Kill''' |
| + | |
| + | If you plan to do the debuff phase to reduce the [[Anti-Air Cruiser Princess]]'s Armor you will need to complete a series of steps, that will vary depending on the difficulty. Be adviced that the steps needed for hard are noted to be especially difficult. Just remember, the boss '''must be on the final kill before doing the debuff!''' Below are the listed requirements for each difficulty: |
| + | |
| + | <tabber> |
| + | |-|Hard= |
| + | |
| + | * '''S Rank node S once''' (Surface Task Force required) |
| + | * '''S Rank node V Once''' (Carrier Task Force Required) |
| + | * '''AS on Node M once''' (Surface Task Force required) |
| + | * '''S Rank node Q Once''' (Carrier Task Force Required) |
| + | * '''Obtain AS on land base defense Twice''' |
| + | |
| + | |-|Medium= |
| + | |
| + | * '''S Rank node S once''' (Surface Task Force required) |
| + | * '''A+ Rank node V Once''' (Carrier Task Force Required) |
| + | * '''AS on Node M once''' (Surface Task Force required) |
| + | * '''Obtain AS on land base defense once''' |
| + | |
| + | |-|Easy= |
| + | |
| + | * '''AS on Node M once''' (Surface Task Force required) |
| + | * '''A+ Rank node S once''' (Surface Task Force required) |
| + | * '''A+ Rank node V Once''' (Carrier Task Force Required) |
| + | |
| + | |-|Casual= |
| + | |
| + | * '''A+ Rank node S once''' (Surface Task Force required) |
| + | * '''A+ Rank node V Once''' (Carrier Task Force Required) |
| + | |-| |
| + | </tabber> |
| + | |
| + | As like before the requirements will be required based on the difficulty needed for each. |
| + | |
| + | '''Step 4a: A/S Rank Node S''' |
| + | |
| + | Using the same Surface Task Force fleet form '''Step 3''' should pretty much allow you to successfully complete this requirement easily. |
| + | |
| + | However, you may opt to send your LBAS to Node S if you wish to aim for a better chance at S rank, even thogh in most cases it will not be nessary. |
| + | |
| + | The Process should be easy enough to clear without much effort, once the conditions is met, the "ding" sound will play once you return to port. |
| + | |
| + | '''Step 4b: A/S Rank Node V''' |
| + | |
| + | For Composition and some LBAS requirements, please reffer to '''Step 2b''' but below this we will use this section to explore more on how to successfully complete hard mode's requirement for S rank. |
| + | |
| + | Scoring an S rank on Node V will require you to do extensive planning if not possibly take some nessary risks in order to pull off as possible AS on Node V. |
| + | |
| + | The main issue you will likely face on Hard is being able to successfully successfully take out both the main and escort fleet in day battle cause if a ship survives in both fleet, your chances for an S rank are gone entirely. |
| + | |
| + | So to improve your chances you will need to consider one of two possible things: |
| + | |
| + | 1. Depend on getting AS on the 3 Carrier comp (166+ Air Power for AD) using 2 LBAS for V. |
| + | 2. Depend on sending all your LBAS to Node V to handle all exsisting comps (will need 210+ Air Power for AD) |
| + | |
| + | Which ever method you choose, a lot of work will be required. To help make it more possible to score an S rank, it's recommended to use historical ships tied to the Battle of Santa Cruz (Node V) as they are viable for this node. '''Please reffer to Historical Bonuses in the Node V for more details.''' |
| + | |
| + | For option 1, you will mainly be depending on Santa Cruz historical ships and using a simlar LBAS set up from the earlier phase. If possible, resort to LBAS Option 1 and get up to over 210 Air Power in your first LBAS and 180+ on the 2nd LBAS. Doing this should allow you to easily AS the 3 Carrier Composition while getting AP on the 4 Carrier Comp. |
| + | |
| + | Odds are you will need to depend on your support fleet and ships to hit the right targets and hopefully wipe out most of the escort or the carrier princess. If you want an eaiser time, try to deploy a speed modded [[Nelson]] as flag along with [[Kongou]]/[[Haruna]] and a historical CAV to try to wipe out most enemy fleet. If you are fortunate enough, you will get one side eliminated so you can have your fleet in night battle wipe out the remaining surviving ships for the other fleet. If the Carrier Princess is one of the said survivors a well placed TCI from a historical ships should be enough to eliminate her. |
| + | |
| + | If you plan to try to take on the other comp to score Air Superiority upon it you'll need to send all 3 LBAS to Node V which in this case you will need over 210 Air Power in your first LBAS and 180+ on the 2nd LBAS, and 150+ Air Power for the 3rd LBAS. |
| + | |
| + | It should be possible to wipe out most of the fleet as you'll likely gain AS from this but you are likely to face complictions from the sub node and other locations along the way. So prepare acccordinly if you feelt you need to improve your survival chances. |
| + | |
| + | Outisde of this, the rest rides on your fleet hopefully eliminating the entire fleet and scoring an S rank. |
| + | |
| + | This may take many tries before you can succssfully pull it off. |
| + | |
| + | once the conditions is met, the "ding" sound will play once you return to port. |
| + | '''Step 4c: AS Rank Node M''' |
| + | |
| + | Requied for '''Normal Difficulty or above''' |
| + | |
| + | For this step, please reffer to '''Step 2f''' as most of the details you need to know apply to here as well. The process is pretty much the same |
| + | |
| + | So once you obtain AS and return to port a "ding" sound will play indicating you completed the requirement. |
| + | |
| + | '''Step 4d: A/S Rank Node Q''' |
| + | |
| + | For this phase you will be bringing a more heavier Carrier fleet to meet the requirements to path to Node Q. Below is the following comp which is needed to reach the node: |
| + | |
| + | '''Recommended Fleet''' |
| + | * '''2 (F)BB(V), 3 CV, 1 CVL, + 1 CL, 3DD, 2 CA''' |
| + | |
| + | '''Path''' |
| + | * '''C-F-G-H-J-L-Q''' |
| + | |
| + | Node Q mainly consist of a Light Carrier , some BBs, CLs, and DDs. Overall, it doesn't pose much of a threat so LBAS is almost not needed for this node. However you can still use them here if you need to quickly wipe them out. |
| + | |
| + | Once the conditions is met, the "ding" sound will play once you return to port. |
| + | |
| + | '''Step 4e: AS Land Base Air Defense''' |
| + | |
| + | For this step, please reffer to '''Step 2g''' as most of the details you need to know apply to here as well. The process is pretty much the same. |
| + | |
| + | A "ding" sound will play indicating you completed the requirement once you return to port. |
