Tips

• This map is fairly simple as long as you remember that all maps in World 2 have routing restrictions on the maximum number of CV(L)s. With a limited number of these, your path to the boss is guaranteed.

Recommended Fleet

• 1 (F)BB, 1CV, 1 AV, 1 CL, 2 DD routes C - E - D - H
  • Good for ensuring you can get both an Instant Construction while playing through and reaching the boss node each run
• 1 CL 1 AV 4 DD Route: C-E-H
  • This is the shortest route possible to clear this map with only 1 battle before the boss and 1 boss battle.
  • Fleet needs to be Fast.
  • The comp is very light and does not have any carrier air strike power. It can be helpful to use ships such as Nisshin and Yura, as they can launch opening torpedoes as well as carry seaplane bombers.
  • Replacing the AV with another DD is also possible, though this comes at the cost of air power and runs the risk of encountering an extra battle by routing C-D-H instead. It is still a viable alternative though, especially if using strong destroyers.

Steel and Transport Farming

• 3CV/CVL, 3XX routes C - B - A
  • Good for collecting 2 transports per run and gathering a small amount of steel
    • But 2-2 is probably better for farming transports, as the 2-2 node (see below) does not include an enemy CVL and is therefore less likely to damage your fleet during the opening air combat phase.
  • Bringing additional drums and Daihatsu will help you farm additional steel.
