| + | * Fleet: 2 FBB 2 CL 2-3 CA (1 CAV at least) + 1 CL 1 CA 4 DD (Fast Fleet) |
| + | ** Route: A-C-G-K-N-S-X |
| + | * LBAS: 6 Waves of AD/AP to Node X |
| + | *** Node S is a Yasen Node so it's recommended to use Vanguard here |
| + | *** Node C is Submarine node |
| + | *** You will be fighting a total of 3 Battles with 1 SS Node and 2 Surface Node before fighting the boss |
| + | ** Regardless of difficulty, bring at least 1-2 nuke setup dd or cl |

| + | *** [[Ooyodo]] is a good option for this map as she can carry guns in her RE slots |
| + | *** Nuke setup: [[WG42 (Wurfgerät 42)]], [[Daihatsu-class Landing Craft (Type 89 Medium Tanks & Marines)]], [[Type 2 Ka-Mi Tank]] |
| + | |
| + | * Notes: Libcoris is vulnerable to T3 shells and LBAS, it is recommended to take T3 shells. She is also accompanied by two Supply Depot Hime, so taking a Nuke-setup in the main fleet is recommended. There are also PT Imps present at that node. Air superiority is optional, as are supports. |
| + | |
| + | '''Phase 2: Unlock Abyssal SoDak Node (Node Z)''' |
| + | * '''Sortie 1: S rank Node V, M and AS Node B |

| + | ** It's Recommended that you bring Node Support Expedition to be able to clear out the Node before V and Node V for easier time to S rank |
| + | * TCI is also recommended to help clear Node V |
| + | *'''You need to S rank Node V Twice so use the same Sortie 1 again''' |
| + | * '''Sortie 2:''' AS LBAS Defense (2x for Hard & 1x for Medium) and AS Node O |

| + | * '''Sortie 2: AS Node O, G, I along with LBAS Defense |
| + | ** You can set you LBAS on defense for this one and concentrate your fighter power with your normal fleet |
| + | ** Use around 1-2 LBAS with Rocket Interceptors, Interceptors, LBAS Fighter and Carrier Based Fighter for Defense |
| + | ** Fleet: 1 FBB 2 CV 1 CAV 1CA 1 AACI DD + 1 FBB 2 CA 1 CL 2 DD |
| + | *** Route: A-C-E-I-G-K-N-O |
| + | *** Have as many Fighter as you can in your CV and adjust the fighter power depending on the diffulty you're doing |
| + | |
| + | '''Phase 4: Chip Abyssal SoDak''' |
| + | * Fleet: STF with 3(F)BB(V) 3CA(V)/AV/CL + CA CL 4DD (Fast Fleet) |
| + | ** Note the fleet must be Fast to avoid going to the extra Node (Node Q) |
| + | ** For BB, Use [[Nelson]], [[Kirishima]], [[Hiei]] is recommended here as the Touch on Nelson added with Kirishima and Hiei's historical bonus will wipe out the enemy fleet with ease |
| + | *** For [[Nelson]] make sure she's Fast by equiping her with [[Enhanced Steam Boiler]] + [[Enhanced Steam Boiler]] to make Slow Ships goes Fast |
| + | *** There is an option to have Nelson with 1 Main gun + AP Shell + Type 3 Shell (Sanshiki) for buff stacking purposes when using her Touch mechanics |
| + | ** Use any of the Historical DD and have them setup for TCI with 2-3 Torpedoes to kill the boss quickly and efficiently. |
| + | * Route: A-C-K-N-S-Z |
| + | |
| + | '''Phase 5: Armor Reduction Gimmick''' |
| + | *There are a lot of Steps for the Armor Debuff but here is the shortest and most efficient way to get multiple requirements all at Once |
| + | '''Requirement List''' |
| + | * S rank Node V |
| + | * S rank Node M |
| + | * A rank Node X |
| + | * S rank Node J Once |
| + | * S rank Node Q Once |
| + | * AS Node F |
| + | * AS Node L |
| + | * '''Sortie 1:''' S rank Node X |
| + | ** To get to Node X use STF with [[Shinshuumaru]] or Speed Mod (Fast) a SSV in Main Fleet |
| + | ** You can use the same fleet as you did when you fight SoDak Hime but just replace one ship for [[Shinshuumaru]] or Fast a SSV |
| + | * '''Sortie 2:''' S rank Node M and V |
| + | ** Fleet: 1 FBB 2 CV 1 CAV 1CA 1 AACI DD + 1 FBB 2 CA 1 CL 2 DD |
| + | *** Have 1-2 OASW Ship to deal with the Sub Loli Hime on the way to Node V |
| + | ** Have 1 LBAS with Toukai and ASW Bombers and send them to Node M to S rank that Node as that Node is the New Submarine Hime (Sub Loli) |
| + | ** Send the last 2 of your LBAS with fighters and Bombers to Node V |
| + | ** It's Recommended that you bring Node Support Expedition to be able to clear out the Node before V and Node V for easier time to S rank |
| + | * '''Sortie 3:''' Use a Slow STF with 3 BB 1 CAV 1 CV 1 CL to AS Node F and S rank Node J & Q all at once & LBAS Defense Once |
| + | ** You can use anything in Escort fleet but the most important part is the Main Fleet |
| + | ** This requirement doesn't rely on LBAS so you can set them up for Defense purposes while clearing out these requirements |
| + | * '''Sortie 4:'''AS Node L and LBAS Defense with Fast CTF |
| + | ** The Fleet must contain 6 CL/DD, 2 or less CA |
| + | *** Example: 2 FBB 2 CV 1 CL 1 CAV + 1 Cl 5 DD |
| + | ** This requirement doesn't rely on LBAS so you can set them up for Defense purposes while clearing out these requirements |
| + | |
| + | '''Phase 6: Deliver the final blow against Abyssal South Dakota''' |
| + | |
| + | * Fleet: Same as Phase 4 |
| + | |
| + | * Route: A-C-K-N-S-Y, Node Types see above |
| + | |
| + | * LBAS: 6 Waves of 4LBAA or 3LBAA + LBAS Recon to Y. |
| + | |
| + | * Notes: Abyssal South Dakota is accompanied by a lot of Sponge and new Na-Class Destroyers capable of Opening Torpedo attacks in the escort fleet. 2-4 historical TCI are recommended to be present in the Escort fleet, as are means to ensure their proc rate (Searchlight, Flares, Skilled lookouts in RE). If you are taking a searchlight with you, you might want to consider putting that ship into the 4th slot of the escort fleet to tank on Node S and equip them with a damagecon (LD only). The main Fleet will benefit from having a special attack like Nelson Touch or Colorado Broadside incorporating the Bonus ships Hiei and Kirishima into it for extra damage. T3 shells deal Bonus damage to the boss, but equipping Hiei and Kirishima with APCI will still be more beneficial. Only one SPF in the main fleet is needed to ensure AS+ on all nodes. Boss Support is recommended, Node support (Either ASW or Shelling Support) is optional. |
| + | |
| + | * Editors note: Preserving Chevrons: If you are at LD and see that a failure is imminent and you dont want to lose your LBAS chevrons to the very high enemy AA on this node you can forfeit your drop on this node by refreshing the game page before the battle result screen is loaded. This will still have you pay the Bauxite and repair costs, but you save time as max proficiency LBAA has higher hit and crit rate which are needed on this boss. |

| + | ==Totaku's Proposal== |
| + | |
| + | '''Preparation''' |
| + | |
| + | In this operation, many of the ships that will be used for E-6 and E-7 are linked between these two maps. You will need to carefully plan who you will be using for this map and make sure not to burn all of them as they could cost you the Hard mode run if this is what you intend to do. |
| + | |
| + | Below is a list consisting of the following that must be considered for this map. |
| + | |
| + | # Do you have Hiei and Kirishima in Kai Ni or Kai Ni C form? |
| + | # Do you have enough anti-instalation equipment to make at least 3 Anti-installation nukes and some double Anti-Ground Rocket Users? |
| + | # Do you have enough Rocket Interceptors / Interceptors that can help you gain AS in air defense of your land base? |
| + | # Do you have a ship that can OASW? |
| + | # Do you have ASW planes for your land base such as Toukai? |
| + | # Do you have at least 3 TCI ship? |
| + | # Do you have [[Nelson]] or [[Colorado]]? |
| + | # If no to the above question, do you have [[Nagato|Nagato Kai Ni]] or [[Mutsu|Mutsu Kai Ni|]] |
| + | |
| + | If you said to all of the above, you are more than ready to take this map on hard. However please review the historical list below before jumping in. |
| + | |
| + | If you said no to anything beside question 7 or 8, you may need to weigh your options. Espeically if you lack in good anti-installation gear. |
| + | |
| + | If you said no to 7 but yes to 8. You can consider bringing said ship in this map to use her special attack. But be warned that you need to know who you will sacrafice here as to keep the other. As it could affect your overall success rate. |
| + | |
| + | If your lacking in several of the things on the list, consider dropping difficulty or begin making extensive preperations. |
| + | |
| + | Below is a list of the ships which are historically tied to the battle of Iron Bottom Sound, review the list carefully as certain ships cn be effective on certain nodes. |
| + | |
| + | (Insert List here) |
| + | |
| + | From those on the list: The most recommended ships to consider for E-6 are [[Kirishima]], [[Hiei]], [[Choukai]], [[Maya]], [[Kinugasa]], [[Mikuma]], [[Tenryuu]], [[Michishio]], [[Asashio]], [[Fletcher]], [[Shigure]], [[Ayanami]], and [[Yuudachi]]. |
| + | |
| + | [[Kongou]] and [[Haruna]] can be used as an alternative, however it's recommended to use [[Hiei]] and [[Kirishima]] here due to thier stronger bonus. Also you speceficlly one group or the other. If you have one of them at Kai Ni C, you will want thier respective partner to be the other fast battleship in the team. |
| + | |
| + | Also due to the toughness of the final boss, a special attack is recommended to make the fight eaiser [[Nelson]] is the perfect go to choice for this map as she can be techincally used for both bosses. Otherwise, Colorado is the 2nd best option for 2nd boss. [[Nagato]] or [[Mutsu]] are your last options is you lack in the other two. Weigh your options carefully before you take on his map. |
