Historical Routing

Tips

This map featured historical routings for use Kamikaze, Haguro, Ashigara.

• Kamikaze is the key historical ship for this map and required in order to avoid node M which features CA Ri-Class that can potentially harm "lighter ships".
  • She can be dropped on this map to get better routings later.
• The number of historical ships being presented in the fleet heavily affects the routing taken. Increasing the speed of the fleet to Fast+ or more can help reduce the number of historical ships required to go the shortest route (See below).

Phase 1

• This is a light fleet phase where the boss is a fleet of 5 enemy destroyers. The boss in this phase is DD Ro-Class Late Model, who will turn into Late Model Elite form in the Final Kill (reverted to Late Model form again once this phase is cleared).

Recommended Fleet

• Haguro, 3DD
  • Route = A C E
  • Not having Haguro may add extra nodes.

Phase 2

• This phase requires to kill a much heavier enemy fleet than Phase 1 featuring CA Ne-Class Elite as the boss. In the final kill, the boss comp will feature 6 enemies in total, and will revert back to 5-enemy comp once the map is cleared.
• It is possible to clear this phase by either using a fleet of 5 ships or 6 ships depending on what the player wants.
• All the compositions suggested below requires at least Fast fleet

• Kamikaze, Ashigara, Haguro, 1CL(T)/AV, 2DD (Fast, By5 composition)
• Haguro, Kamikaze, 1CA(V), 1CLT/CT/AV, 2DD (Fast+)
  • Route = A C D G P

-

• Kamikaze, Ashigara, Haguro, 1CA(V), 1DD (5 Ships)
• Haguro, Kamikaze, 1CA(V)/CLT/AV, 3DD (Fast+)
  • Route = A C I J P

-

• Haguro, Ashigara, Kamikaze, 1AV, 1CL(T), 1DD
• Haguro, Ashigara, 1CA(V), 3DD (Fast)
  • Route = A C D G J P
  • The first comp is the strongest fleet possible, which helps to minimize bucket usage due to extra opening shots and fewer DDs required.
  • The second comp is for fleets that are missing Kamikaze while avoiding an ammo penalty at the boss.

-

• Haguro, Ashigara, 3DD, 1CLT/AV
  • Route = A C D G I M P
  • Not recommended as there is an ammo penalty at the boss node. Only use this comp if not having Kamikaze.

• 1CA(V), 1CA, 1CL, 3DD (Fast+)
  • Route = A C I L M P

-

• 1CA(V), 1CA, 1CL, 3DD (Fastest)
  • Route = A C I J P
