View source for Early Spring 2023 Event/E-6/Sandbox

=Sandbox Rules=
This sandbox is to be used to construct an event guide for the above-mentioned event map. These guides are to all of the following requirements:
* An overview of the map, including ship/equipment bonuses, Ship Locks, and special mechanics,
* List of branching unlocking requirements (if there are multiple requirements, compositions for each path along with the below requirements will be needed to discuss the unlocking requirements in question),
* A list of working compositions that work: (T=these must have possible alternatives for players who may or may not have all ships needed for a specific path),
** The Paths said compositions will take (to explain each path the composition will/can take),
** A summary or description of what kind of obstacles a composition will face.
* A description of the boss node: what it consists of, and a descriptive guide on what the player should consider for a course of action to successfully win the battle,

* ''Optional'': Tips/guides to farm certain ships and/or resources (this can also require compositions, paths, and possible descriptions).

Editors are to construct their own version of the guide/part of the guide, and complete it in a timely fashion. 

No editor is allowed to edit over other editors' work without the consent of the editor and his approval to do so. 

Several versions will be constructed through this page and will be reviewed and approved by the staff/collaboration committee before being moved for the [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]], being reviewed and updated once more before it can be released.

Overall there should be 3 versions of the guide that have to be constructed, including: Preliminary > Polished > Finalized Guides

With each approval of each version of the guide, the said guide will be updated to the main page, and construction of the next version will begin.

All guides outside of the approved version will be removed and work will begin from the approved version to make it better for the next version until the finalized version is made.

=Jiga's Initial Guide=
==Map Overview==
E-3 consists of 3 main phases and requires the use of Single Fleets, Striking Forces, and Combined Fleets.

* This map uses 4 to 6 locks:
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png]] '''2nd Torpedo Squadron''' (from E-2, E-3, & E-5),
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 3.png]] '''Supporting Combined Fleet''' (from E-2),
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 4.png]] '''Combined Fleet''' (from E-3),
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 6.png]] '''Operation I-go Fleet''' (from E-4 & E-5),
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 7.png]] '''Counter Landing Force''' 
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 8.png]] '''Decisive Combined Fleet'''
** {{TextGlow|'''Some tags can be mixed in all difficulties'''|black|text-colour=Lime|glow-size=2px}}, see ''[[#Branching Table|here]]''.

* Initially, no LBAS is available to be sortied to this map
** Clearing Phase 2 allows one Land Base to be sortied
** Clearing the unlock for Phase 3 allows two Land Bases to be sortied
** Clearing Phase 3 allows three Land Bases to be sortied
* '''[[Early Spring 2023 Event#New Mechanics|"Airstrike Supported Battle" nodes]]''' are present on {{MapRoute|B|darkorange|Y2|darkorange}}
* '''"Night Battle" nodes''' are present on {{MapRoute|H2|purple|T|purple}}
* '''"Enemy Ambush" node''' is present on {{MapRoute|S|orange}}

==Phase 1==

* Striking Force: '''"1FBB, 1FBB/CV, 0-1CVL/CAV/CLT, 1CL, 3DD"''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 6.png|30px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|red|C|red|E|red|G|red}}
** This fleet can utilize a [[Special Attacks#Kongou-class Touch|''Kongou''-class Touch]].

==Phase 2 - TP==
Phase 2 is a '''"[[Transport Operation]]"''':

* TCF: '''"1LHA/CL/AV, 1AV, 4DD + 1-2CAV, 1-2CL, 3-4DD "''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 7.png|30px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|2||H|pink|H2|purple|J|pink|K|darkorange|M|green|O|red}}
** A CVL can be used instead of the LHA/CL/AV, adding an extra node ({{MapRoute|L|red}}).

==Phase 2.5 - Gimmick==

*Use [[#Phase 3]]'s fleet

==Phase 3==
* Strinking Force: '''"1CAV, 1CL, 5DD"''' (Fast?) [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png|30px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|3||Q|red|R|pink|T|purple|V|red|X|red}}
* LBAS: Range 1, AP/AS ??/??
** At least 5/3/2/1 (H/M/E/C) ships need to be equipped with [[Surface Radar]]s to avoid the '''"Enemy Ambush" node''' on {{MapRoute|S|orange}}.
** The use of the {{IconText|{{FCF}}|SFFCF}} {{Equipment/Link|Striking Force Fleet Command Facility}} (SFFCF) is recommended
** The boss is an '''[[Installation]]''' and requires appropriate gear to be defeated,
***She is especially weak to "Nuke" setups 
** The boss fleet includes one or two [[PT Imp Pack]]s, requiring appropriate gear to be defeated (these can be ignored as S-rank is optional):
{{Anti-PT Imp Setups}}

==Phase 3.5 - Gimmick: Unlocking the shortcut==
The following steps have to be performed to unlock the Shortcut (can be done right from the start of P4):

* Route: {{MapRoute|4||R|pink|Y|red|Y1|red|Z|red|Z2|red}}
** This fleet is not recommended due to the preboss

|-|STF Heavy=
?
</tabber>


* LBAS: Range 4, 168/335 (not confirmed) AD/AP (Hard)
** A fast fleet with 2 {{Class|Yamato}} would additionally take {{MapRoute|Y1|red}}
** The {{Ship/Link|I-201|I-203|text=''I-201''-class|link_category=I-201 Class}} have outstanding historical bonuses in this situation.
** 6/4/3/2 [[Surface Radar]]s are required to route to {{MapRoute|Y|red}} on (H/M/E/C)

==Debuff==
Once LD has been reached, the following steps have to be performed to debuff the boss:

{|class="wikitable"

|Hard  || S|| S|| S|| S|| AS|| AS X2
|-

|-
|Easy  || S|| S|| ?|| S|| ?|| AS

|}

<tabber>
|-|Node G=
*Use [[#Phase 1]]'s fleet

|-|Node O=
*Use [[#Phase 2 - TP]]'s fleet
**Can be done at the same time as node {{MapRoute|L|red}}

|-|Node L=
*Use [[#Phase 2 - TP]]'s fleet with '''1CVL'''.
**Can be done at the same time as node {{MapRoute|O|red}}

|-|Node X=
*Use [[#Phase 3]]'s fleet

|-|Node Z1=
*Use [[#Phase 3.5 - Gimmick: Unlocking the shortcut]]'s fleet

|-|LBAS AS=
*This step can be accomplished by sending 1 SS(V) until the Air Raid is triggered.
*''Numbers may be different due to the presence of unknown elements''
