* You must sink the Boss 5 times to clear the map.

===Tips===
*Unlike the previous maps, all of 5-3 pre-boss nodes feature night battle, where every enemies drastically become more powerful compared to the day battle.
**The use of Support Expeditions is highly recommended for both pre-boss and boss fights.
***With normal support expedition help, you can minimize the risk of your ships getting heavily damaged and subsequently increase the chances of your fleet arriving to the boss node in good conditions.
***The use of Support Shelling is highly recommended, as Aerial Support will not trigger on pre-boss nodes, while Long Range Torpedo Attacks may activate but will cause negligible amounts of damage.
**Taking advantage of night battle equipment ([[Star Shell]] and [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)]]) and sparkling your ships are recommended.
***Usage of the [[Searchlight]], however, is highly discouraged due to the drastic evasion reduction the equipping ship suffers in night battle.
*Regarding boss node, the boss of this map is [[Southern War Princess]] who has pretty tough armor and firepower that can potentially wreck any of your ships.
**There is a little chance that 2 [[Light Carrier Nu-Class]] Flagship will show up at boss, AACI can be brought here to shoot down enemy bombers and protect your light ships.
**CAV can carry Seaplane Fighters in order to obtain AS at the boss node ('''71+ air''' for the comp with [[Southern War Princess]] alone), or at least force AP for the comp with dual [[Light Carrier Nu-Class]] Flagship (requires '''140+ air''' for AS otherwise)
**It's unlikely that you will finish the boss off at day so do expect the battle to last till night.
**As of the [[Game Updates/2019/January 22nd|January 22nd]] update, [[Southern War Princess]] has retained her buff from the [[Winter 2019 Event]], giving her more HP and armor, thus making the boss fight slightly harder.

<br/>'''Recommended Fleet'''
*'''D - G - I - O - K - H - E - Q'''
**'''2 CAV 1 CL 3 DD'''
***Standard composition for 5-3 that balance between firepower and evasion.
***CAVs can trigger Artillery Spotting as long as you have AS at boss, help take out enemy escorts easier.
*'''D - G - I - O - K - E - Q'''
**'''1 FBB 1 CL 2 CA(V) 2 DD'''
**'''5 CA(V) 1 CL (Quest Bq7)'''
**'''3 CA(V) 1 CL 2 DD (Quest Bq7)'''
***Skipping resource node H for more firepower at the boss node.
