=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.

=Dark's Initial Guide (Day 1 Guide)=
==Map Overview==
E1 is a single fleet, two-phase map consisting of one transport and one boss phase. 
* 1 [[LBAS]] is available to sortie on this map

* This map uses 3 locks:
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 1.png|40px]] '''1st Fleet''', Starting point 1
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png|40px]] '''2nd Fleet''', Starting point 2 (reused in E-2)
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 3.png|40px]] '''5th Fleet''', Starting point 3

The use of {{IconText|{{Aviation Personnel}}|AGDP}} {{EquipmentLink|Arctic Gear & Deck Personnel|text=AGDP}} on CV(B/L), {{Class|Ise|Kai Ni}}, and [[Akitsu Maru Kai]], is required to sortie these ships on the 2nd part of the map (the right / North side).

==Phase 0.5: Unlock The Transport Node==
The following steps have to be performed to unlock the transport phase.
* The [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 1.png|40px]] tag is used in this phase.

{|class="wikitable" 
!       !! C  !! G !! H
|-
| Hard  || S || S || S
|-
| Medium|| ? || ? || ?
|-
| Easy  || ? || ? || ?
|-
| Casual|| ? || ? || ?
|}

Any fleet composition can reach those nodes.
<tabber>
|-|Node C=
* Single Fleet: '''0-1 XX, 1 CL, 3-5 DD''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 1.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|blue|B|red|C|red}}
* The XX is not mandatory and not recommended unless facing too much trouble against this node. It can be any ship.
** LBAS range: 4
** Bringing ASW is advised to pass through node {{MapRoute|B|red}}.

|-|Node G=
* Single Fleet: '''0-1 XX, 1 CL, 3-5 DD''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 1.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|blue|D|red|E|red|F|blue|G|red}}
* The XX is not mandatory and not recommended unless facing too much trouble against this node. It can be any ship.
** LBAS range: 6
** ASW is required to secure the S rank, with several ships that should utilize [[OASW]].

|-|Node H=
* Single Fleet: '''0-1 XX, 1 CL, 3-5 DD''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 1.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|blue|D|red|E|red|F|blue|H|red}}
* The XX is not mandatory and not recommended unless facing too much trouble against this node. It can be any ship.
** LBAS range: 6
** AD/AP for is 63/125 on '''HARD'''
</tabber>

* It is recommended to send LBAS to the respective nodes to secure the S rank.

==Phase 1: Transport Supplies==
Phase 1 is a '''"[[Transport Operation]]"''', with the particularity of not having any boss node following the TP node.
*This means that as soon as the TP node is reached, the TP points are counted.

<tabber>
|-|Torpedo Squadron=
* Single Fleet: '''1 CL, 3-5 DD ''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|2||I|blue|N1|red|N2|red|O|pink|P|blue|Q|green}}
**Using {{Smoke}} [[Smoke]] on nodes {{MapRoute|N1|red}} or {{MapRoute|N2|red}} can help increase the passing rate.
**If available, the {{IconText|{{CommandFacility}}|ETSCF}} {{EquipmentLink|Elite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility|text=ETSCF}} should be utilised.

|-|Submarine Fleet=
* Single Fleet: '''1-6 SS(V)''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|2||I|blue|N1|red|N2|red|O|pink|P|blue|Q|green}}
** This method is safer and cheaper than the surface fleet, but way slower.
*** It is possible to send just 1 Submarine to the node, but this will take significantly longer.
**Do note that submarines will be in high demand throughout this event and may be saved for other tags.
</tabber>

*As many {{Landing Craft}} [[Landing Craft]], {{Drum}} [[Drum Canister]]s, and {{Amphibious Tank}} [[Amphibious Tank]]s should be utilised in the fleet.
*ASW [[LBAS]] can be utilized on {{MapRoute|N1|red}} and {{MapRoute|N2|red}} (range 3).
*If any ship is {{color|red|'''taiha'''}} on {{MapRoute|O|pink}}, is is possible to continue to {{MapRoute|Q|green}} as there will be no battle afterward.
*There is no LoS check on this phase.
*Using [[AACI]] is not necessary here.
