The second Phase of this map unlocks immediatly after defeating Phase 1. The Boss fleet of this Phase contains the European Armoured Carrier Hime, which can have up to '''392''' armour on Hard Last Dance. Coupled with bonuses in the low 1.15x range and a night cap of 360 this means that stacking multiple high attack ships, like Nagato+Mutsu Special Attacks, Kitakami, Ooi, Ryuuhou Kai Ni E (as CVN), to fish for critical hits is mandatory.
