• 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.
• Starting from this world map and onward, all maps will feature level scaling mechanic where after you reach a certain HQ level, the enemy compositions will become harder.

Instant Construction Farming
1 (F)BB, 1CV, 1 AV, 1 CL, 2 DD
C - E - D - H

• This comp is good for ensuring you can get both an Instant Construction while playing through and reaching the boss node each run.
• This can be great to gather enough torches to use towards various Construction, Remodels and various Quest related needs.

Steel and Transport Farming
3CV/CVL, 3XX
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.

Tips

Unlike the flash version, this map has unique composition that are needed to ensure your path will go to various nodes across the map, some nodes are still under research.

Boss Route

Boss route is also guaranteed if you assemble a proper composition to reach the boss

Composition

1 AV, 2 CVL, 2 DE, 1 XX

Path C-E-F-H-K

This composition takes a fixed route with 1 surface battle and a bauxite node F before routing directly to the boss.

• Taking a wildcard that can carry Drum Canister or DLC will allow you to maximize on resource pickup.

Composition

1-2AV, 2DD, 2-3 CA(V)
1AV, 2DD,2 CA(V), 1 FBB(BC)

Path C - E - K or C - E - H - K

Both comps avoid Node G, which contains Ru-class BBs and should be avoided if possible.

• If using the composition above, be sure your Seaplane tenders and Aviation cruisers bring enough Zuiuns or Seaplane Fighters to help over power the boss composition's air power as there will be a Wo-class Elite or Nu-class Elite present at the boss node in all compositions.

Transport Kills

This map is ideal for farming transport kills for Bw3 and Bw4, as node B contains 2 transports per run and can be reached consistently with the fleet listed below.

Composition - 3 CV(L), 3 XX
Path C - B - A

Having 3 or more carriers in your fleet will always path you on this route allowing you to fight 2 transports and score bauxite every run. With the right carriers and/or equipment, it is possible to break even on bauxite consumption (or even make a net gain) while farming the transports.

Instant Construction Node (Node J)

• The composition needed to route here is unknown. If you find a way to reach this node please contact us via Discord.

Tips

• This map will feature a series of fights involving mostly smaller surface ships with some carrier fights in between.
• The path you take through here is mostly random early on but is heavily influence by your fleet's composition which helps determine where you'll ultimately go on your way to the boss or to a dead end.

Recommended Composition
2 CV, 1 CLT, 1 CL, 2DD
Path: B - C - F - M - P or B - C - H - I - K - L - P

• Both paths will consist of a total of 3 battle prior to the boss node.
• The top path does have a chance of hitting the bucket node (Node A)
• Bottom path lets you gather Development Materials, and the fights are slightly easier.

2-5 Fleet Route Other Notes AP AS AS+ 19 42 84

Tips

You are required to sink the flagship at boss node 4 times to clear the map. The reward for clearing the map is 100 points and a medal. Boss's HP Bar will reset at midnight at the beginning of each month.

This map requires your fleet to have a certain amount of Line of Sight (LoS) in order to route to the boss.

• This map uses Formula 33 (F33) to calculate the LoS of your fleet to determine if you meet the LoS check.
  • Fleets routing from I-O require Cn1 = 34
  • Fleets routing from J-O require Cn1 = 49
• Akashi can drop with a small chance in 2-5, but only for Admirals who have do not have her yet in their base. If you already have her, she will not drop in this map anymore.

Stage Guide

There are three routes to the boss node that utilize different compositions.

• South route (C-E-I-O)
  • 1CV 1CVL 1CL 3DD
• Northern BM1 route (B-F-J-O)
  • 1BBV 2CAV 3CA
• Northern BM7 route (B-F-E-I-O)
  • 4DD 1CA 1CL

Routing Considerations

• The south route is the preferred route used for clearing since it allows for 1 CV and 1 CVL to be brought, enabling powerful opening air strikes.
• The northern routes should be considered for clearing quests such as BM1 and BM7.
• Ensure you meet the required LoS in order to route to the boss sucessfully by bringing enough radar, seaplane recons and carrier recons.

South route C-E-I-O

Example Fleets:

• 1CV 1CVL 1CL 3DD
• 2CVL 1CL 3DD

General Considerations

• Attention should be given to fleet ordering to ensure you maximize for day battle performance.
• Use CV(L) that are able to perform strong opening air strikes.
• Ensure that you meet the required LoS to route to the boss node.

Carriers should be equipped to utilize Cut-In (CVCI) to maximize accuracy and shelling power against the boss node.

Northern route B-F-J-O / B-F-E-I-O

BM1 Example Fleets:

• 1BBV 2CAV 3CA

BM7 Example Fleets:

• 4DD 1CA 1CL

General Considerations

• All enemy compositions before the boss do not have any air power.
• Artillery spotting requires a minimum of Air Superiority (AS) and will increase the likelihood of reaching the boss node.
• Ensure that you meet the required LoS to route to the boss node.

North BM1 route

This composition is recommended to be used when attempting to clear the monthly quest BM1.

The routing for this composition is B-F-J-O, 1 Drum Canister is required to be equipped on each CAV and pass a LoS check of Cn1 = 54 (needs verification).

All the enemy formations before the boss do not have any air power making it easy to secure Air Supremacy (AS+) with a minimal of 1 Seaplane Bomber (SPB) on a CAV or BBV.

The boss formation is random between 3 Ru class battleships or 2 Ru class battleships and 1 Wo class carrier so attempt to reach AS using SPB on your CAV and BBVs.

North BM7 route

This composition is recommended to be used when attempting to clear the monthly quest BM7. The routing for this composition is B-F-J-O and pass a LoS check of Cn1 = 34.

This route is difficult without access to ships that are able to equip SPB granting AS+ against the pre-boss nodes.

Zara Due is the ideal choice due to her large first slot ensuring that the SPB will survive until the boss node and potentially securing AS+ against the triple Ru-class battleship formation. You may also wish to include an SPF (along with the SPB) to ensure that you are able to secure AS in the event that you face the boss formation that contains a Wo class carrier.

Otherwise any single Zara or Agano class with a SPB will be sufficient to secure spotting for the pre-boss nodes.
