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 Early Spring 2023 Event, 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:
  • 2nd Torpedo Squadron (from E-2, E-3, & E-5),
  • Supporting Combined Fleet (from E-2),
  • Combined Fleet (from E-3),
  • Operation I-go Fleet (from E-4 & E-5),
  • Counter Landing Force
  • Decisive Combined Fleet

• • Some tags can be mixed in all difficulties , see here.

• Initially, no LBAS is available to be sortied to this map
  • Clearing Phase 2 allows two Land Bases to be sortied
  • Clearing Phase 3 allows three Land Bases to be sortied
• "Airstrike Supported Battle" nodes are present on B Y2
• "Night Battle" nodes are present on H2 T
• "Enemy Ambush" node is present on S

Phase 1

• Striking Force: "1FBB, 1FBB/CV, 0-1CVL/CAV/CLT, 1CL, 3DD"
• Route: 1 A C E G
  • This fleet can utilize a Kongou-class Touch.

Phase 2 - TP

Phase 2 is a "Transport Operation":

• TCF: "1LHA/CVL/CL/AV, 1AV, 4DD + 1-2CAV, 1-2CL, 3-4DD "
  • Taking a CVL will cause offroute to L
• Route: 2 H H2 J K M O

Phase 2.5 - Gimmick

	U
Hard	Sx3
Medium	??
Easy	??
Casual	??

• Use #Phase 3's fleet

Phase 3

• Strinking Force: CAV CL 5DD (Fast?)
• Route: 3 Q R T V X
• LBAS: Range 1, AD/AS ??/?? (cant be very high, I think it is even 0 at LD)
• Notes:
  • 5/3/2/1 (H/M/E/C) Ships need to be equipped with Surface Radar to avoid (radar ambush node)
  • Enemy is an installation, PT imps are present
  • Use of Striking Force FCF is recommended

Phase 3.5: Unlocking the shortcut

• Shortcut unlock: (can be done right from the start of p4)
• G S-rank x2 -> see part 1
• lbas AS x2 -> do while doing p1 i guess
• AS Z1 x1 -> see part 4 fleet

Phase 4

• STF: 2FBB, 1CV, 2CA, 1CL + 0-1CLT, 1CL, 3DD, 1-2SS (Fast)
• Route: 4 R Y Z Z2

• CTF: 2FBB, 2CV, 2CA + 0-1CVL, 1CL, 3DD, 1-2SS (Fast)
• Route: 4 R Y Y1 Z Z2
  • This fleet is not recommended due to the preboss

?

• • LBAS: Range 4, 168/335 (not confirmed) AD/AP (Hard)
  • A fast fleet with 2 Yamato-Class BB would additionally take Y1
  • The Submarines are specifically I-201 and I-203
  • 6/4/3/2 Surface Radars are required to route to Y on (H/M/E/C)

Debuff

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

Debuff:

• G S-rank x1 -> see previous phase
• O S-rank x1 -> see previous phase
• L S-rank x1 -> see previous phase, but with CVL (see p1 note)
• X S-rank x1 -> see previous phase
• Z1 AS x1 -> P4 fleet, but replace one CA for FBB
• lbas AS x2

	?	?	LBAS
Hard	??	??	AS
Medium	??	??	??
Easy	??	??	??
Casual	??	??	??

• Use #Phase ?'s fleet

??

???

• 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

	AP	AS
Hard	??	??

Once Debuff is complete the CG will change to the following:

Abyssal Stranded Landing Princess
