If you said yes to most of the questions, you should be prepared to handle the map, otherwise reevaluate your fleet to see if you can actually do the map or consider lowering difficulty.

So it's up to your if you want to use this method, but you are free to use your land base for the offensive purpose if necessary. If so, you can opt to set up a similar set up as shown in the phases along the way. By around Phase 6 and 8, you'll be using your LBAS to the fullest extent against the last boss.

In this phase you'll be performing a transport operation while also protecting your fleet from some air stirkes that will occur along the way. As long as you have a fleet with good ASW, AACI, capable of transporting supplies and a land base that can support your while taking out the enemy ships and subs, the phase should be simple to complete.

These tasks will include the following:
These tasks will include the following:
* S Rank Node Y3
* S Rank Node Y3
* A Rank Node Y5
* A Rank Node Y5
* Land Base Air Defense once
* Land Base Air Defense once (Hard Mode Only)
Below will be the a guide on how to complete each task:
<tabber>
|-| Node Q=
* Recommendation: Refer to Phase 1 TCF Fleet Comp and Land base recommendation.
<br>
In this phase you can focus more heavily on trying to S ranking the boss node by bringing a balance of OASW and surface combat ships. Since you'll likely kill the subs before taking out the surface ships.
</br>
<br>
The Hardest ships to eliminate will be the Tsu-class flag. Which may last to night battle. The best you can do is hope you can successfully take out the ship and then achive an S rank.
|-| Node W=
* Recommendation: Refer to Phase 3 TCF Fleet Comp and Land base recommendation.
<br>
In this phase you can focus more heavily on trying to S ranking the boss node by bringing both strong historicals and TCI historical.
</br>
<br>
As before bring Land Base Bombing to Node U and Node W and boss support to make it easier to secure the an S rank. Be warned however that if the enemy comp appears in Vanguard formation unless you are able to successfully take out the DD in the land base and boss support, you may need to redo until you are successful.
|-| Node Y2=
* '''Recommended Fleet:''' CTF - 2 (F)BB(V), 4 CV(B) + 1 CL, 1 CLT, 4 DD (Fast optional)
* '''LBAS:''' 1-2 Land Base set to Node Y2 (Range 3)
* '''Path:'''{{MapRoute|D|blue|C|blue|B|red|A|red|R|red|X1|blue|X2|red|Y1|red|Y2|red}} (Can bypass B with Fast Fleet)
* Air power is need around 868 to achive AS
* Node will consist of strong air power, bring enough air power the following LBAS air sweeps that you cn achive AS.
* Can be done in conjunction with Y3 and Y5.
|-| Node Y3=
* '''Recommended Fleet:''' CTF - 2 (F)BB(V), 4 CV(B) + 1 CL, 1 CLT, 4 DD (Fast Fleet)
* '''LBAS:''' 1-2 Land Base set to Node Y3 (Range 3)
* '''Path:''' {{MapRoute|D|blue|C|blue|B|red|A|red|R|red|X1|blue|X2|red|Y1|red|Y2|red|Y3|red}} (Can bypass B with Fast Fleet)
* Land base should consist of Fighters and Land Base Bomber
* Enemy fleet will consist of a combined fleet that will have mostly Light Carriers, light cruisers and destroyers
* Fleet should be overall beatable if you bring good airpower and a good combat fleet
* Speed modding will be important to conserve on resource spent trying to reach here and especially Y5.
* Can be done in conjunction with Y3 and Y5.
* In route support is highly recommended to pass the complete the requirement.
|-| Node Y5=
* '''Recommended Fleet:''' CTF - 2 (F)BB(V), 4 CV(B) + 1 CL, 1 CLT, 4 DD (Fast Fleet)

* Land base should consist of Fighters and Land Base Bomber
* Enemy fleet will consist of a beefed up combined fleet that will have a Standard Carrier, some Light Carriers, light cruisers and destroyers, some which will have opening torpedo capabilities.
* Fleet will require some effort to beat, be sure you bring good air power and a good combat fleet
* Speed modding will be important to conserve on resource to have the ability to fight the fleet here.
* Can be done in conjunction with Y2 and Y3.
* In route support is highly recommended to pass the complete the requirement.
* A rank minimum is required for this segment

Once all the conditions are met, you will then be able to unlock the shortcut to take a faster route to the boss.
==Phase 6: Fighting the Abyssal Bamboo Princess==
==Phase 6: Fighting the Abyssal Bamboo Princess==
In this phase, you will need to organize a powerful fleet to attack the main abyssal forces. This will require you to carefully construct a fleet that with of the land base can successfully fight the main fleet while also achieve AS against the enemy fleet. For now the most efficient way to do this is through chipping away at the Abyssal Bamboo Princess until she is at the final kill.
On Hard mode, the Abyssal Bamboo Princess will have a fleet that will be strong and mainly consist of 2 CV Princess Kai, 1 BB Water Oni, 2 Ne Elites along with a Tsu-class a Ne-class, 4 Na-class DD two which are capable of opening torpedo strikes. This boss fight will be notably hard. But if you have Touch base attacks, crits, a good land base and the ability to get AS, you should be able to successfully be able to have a chance at doing damage to the boss let alone possibly sink her.
There are several methods to do this, but one method can be considered effective for chipping.
* '''Recommended Fleet:''' STF - 3 (F)BB(V),1 CV,1 CAV/AV, 1 CL + 1 CL, 1 CLT, 4DD
* '''Path:''' {{MapRoute|D|blue|C|blue|B|red|A|red|R|red|X1|blue|X2|red|Y6|blue|Y3|red|Z|red}}

** LBAS 2-3 - Node Z (Air Powe r: 132 AD / 263 AP / 591 AS)
* Notes:
* Using the mentioned composition will ignore fast requirements allowing more flexibility for your ships.
* Airpower is still notably heavy, consider bring an AV/CAV as a fighter mule.
* AACI is important for passing the nodes along the way
* In route Supportable may be suitable for helping you pass Y3 since that node may pose a potential problem.
* Boss support is highly recommended
* Historical Japanese and American ships are needed along with ship types to maximize the damage bonus that can be done at the boss node.
* Use special attack battleships like Nagato or Nelson are considered vital to helping you wipe out some of the powerful main fleet ships.
* Do what you can to clear out as many opening torpedo DDs before the start of the fight.
* No matter what, the Abyssal Bamboo Princess will always have the ability to launch an opening torpedo strike from the main fleet. Meaning as the fight begins, it's almost certain one ship will be damaged by here at the start.
* Organizing TCI ships in escort can help you do serious damage of successfully eliminate the princess if your lucky enough to aim for her.
Once you reach LD, read the next phase to help you prepare do that you can deliver the final blow.
==Phase 7: Debuffing the Abyssal Bamboo Princess on Last Dance==
==Phase 7: Debuffing the Abyssal Bamboo Princess on Last Dance==
With our fleet now entering the LD Phase, enemy comps will become increasingly difficult across the map. You will need to adjust accordingly to make it easy to clear the requirements but on the most part, the process is the same.
These tasks will include the following:
* AS Node K Once
* S Rank Node W Twice
* AS Rank Node Y2
* S Rank Node Y3
* A Rank Node Y5
* Land Base Air Defense once
Below will be the a guide on how to complete each task:
<tabber>
|-| Node K=
* Recommendation: Refer to Phase 2 TCF Fleet Comp and Land Base Recommendation
<br>
Pretty much the same method as before hand, may need an additional land base if too difficult to AS.
|-| Node W=
* Recommendation: Refer to Phase 3 TCF Fleet Comp and Land base recommendation.
<br>
In this phase you can focus more heavily on trying to S ranking the boss node by bringing both strong historicals and TCI historical.
</br>
<br>
As before bring Land Base Bombing to Node U and Node W and boss support to make it easier to secure the an S rank. Be warned however that if the enemy comp appears in Vanguard formation unless you are able to successfully take out the DD in the land base and boss support, you may need to redo until you are successful.
|-| Node Y2=
* '''Recommendation:''' Same Fleet comp and land base requirement as phase 5
<br>Should be mainly the same so it should be easy to AS.
|-| Node Y3=
* '''Recommendation:''' Same Fleet comp and land base requirement as phase 5
* Use your 3rd base if nessary with simlar comp as mentioned in phase.
* In route support is highly recommended to pass the complete the requirement.
|-| Node Y5=
* '''Recommendation:''' Same Fleet comp and land base requirement as phase 5
* Use your 3rd base if necessary with similar comp as mentioned in phase.
* In route support is highly recommended to pass the complete the requirement.
* S Rank now required, so hopefully you can achieve an S rank victory if you are fortune enough.
|-| Air Defense=
Recommendation: Refer to Phase 4 Air Defense
<br>
Process to get AS should be the same as previous phase.

Once all the conditions are met, the princess will now become weaker to all attack targeting her (1.07 -1.15x bonus.
==Phase 8: Finishing the Abyssal Bamboo Princess==
==Phase 8: Finishing the Abyssal Bamboo Princess==
For the final sequence, the [[Abyssal Bamboo Princess]] will become harder due to the fact she will now have more Princess types in her fleet and may include stronger variants which on hard includes a Ne Kai, 4 Na-class Flagships with opening torpedo capabilities. For this sequence you'll need to pull out all the stops to ensure that the boss can be taken down.
As of current tactics used to beat her involve using either Surface Task Force or Carrier Task Force. Careful planning must be taken to make the most out of the fight.
<tabber>
|-|Surface Task Force=
* '''Recommended Fleet:''' 3 (F)BB(V), 1 CV, 1 CAV, 1 CL/AO + 1 CL, 1CLT/CAV, 4DD
* '''Path:''' {{MapRoute|D|blue|C|blue|B|red|A|red|R|red|X1|blue|X2|red|Y6|blue|Y3|red|Z|red}}
* '''LBAS:''' Land Base Fighters and Bombers 1-3
* '''LBAS Distribution:''' Land Base 1 Node Y3 (Range: 2) 174 AP /347 AS/ 780 AS (Optional)
* '''LBAS Distribution:''' 1-3 Node Z (Range: 3) 132 AP /263 AS/ 591 AS (Preffered)
* If the comp uses 2 CL and 4 DD in the combined fleet, you will not need a fast fleet
* Y3 might be a hard to pass without the use of a land base in that node
* If possible send all land bases to the boss node (Z) to maximize your chances of taking out the boss.
* AS will require a set of fighter mules among your CV and seaplane carrying ship
* Using [[Ise|Ise Kai Ni]] and [[Hyuuga|Hyuuga Kai Ni]] can allow you to opt to bringing in more fighter power to free up your carrier so they can perform attacks.
* Special attacks can be more wildly among [[Nagato]], [[Nelson]] and [[Colorado]].
*Due to the difficulty of this map, using [[Colorado]]'s special attack can be effective, but difficulty to pull off due to it's strict conditions. Use at your own discretion.
* [[Nagato]] and [[Nelson]] are preferred due to their flexibility and ease of access.
* Units use to accompany the attacks should be American BBs and/or [[Ise|Ise Kai Ni]], [[Hyuuga|Hyuuga Kai Ni]] , and/or [[Haruna]].
* Escort fleet should be TCI focused as you will need to hope they will score a lucky shot at the boss in order to kill her.

With an enemy fleet composed of now all heavily armored units and up to 5 opening torpedo units (which one is not killable at the start of battle) your fleet will need to put everything they got into this section to pull out victorious. Hope that all your main attacks, special attack, land bases and support fleet hit accordingly as you will need to get access to the boss fleet in night battle in hopes of successfully scoring a kill against the boss. TCI CLs and DDs will be your main hope for success on this map. If all goes well, there will be a chance you'll be able to finish off the boss ending the battle.
Once you are able to successfully kill the [[Abyssal Bamboo Princess]] the event will be considered complete.
