DarkHeron's Proposal stolen by Grunilg

E-2 is a multi-phase map starting with a TP Phase followed by a HP Phase.

Phase 1: Deplete TP Gauge The Goal of this Phase is depleting the TP-Gauge by reaching Node K and defeating the Transport Boss at Node N using a Transport Combined Fleet (TCF). The preboss gauntlet includes a Submarine Node, an Airstrike and PT Imps, the Boss itself is rather unimpressive and obtaining winning ranks should not pose a problem.

• Recommended Fleet: 0-1AV/0-1CL/1-2CAV/4DD + 1-2CL/0-1CA(V)/3-5DD (Transport Combined Fleet | Maximum of 2 (AV/CA/CAV))
• Route: B-C-F-H-J-K-N
• Notes:
  • Concentrate your Transport Equipment on the Main Fleet as the Escort Fleet are the ones doing the most fighting
  • AACI to deal with the Airstrike is recommended
  • (O)ASW is optional, the subnode is not that threatening
  • There is no Airpower on the Boss, a single Seaplane-Fighter is sufficient to acquire AS
  • If lacking Destroyers equipped with Reinforcement Expansions to deal with PT-Imps, it is recommended to use Support Shelling

Phase 2: Unlock Shortcut E -> O & G -> O

• S rank A Node 2x
  • Comp: Use TCF Comp that you run in Phase 1. B Node is a choice node so pick to go to A instead of C
    • 1-2 CAV 4-5 DD + 1-2 CL 1 CA 3-4 DD
• S rank L Node 2x (preboss for HP Node)
  • STF Comp: 1 FBB 2 CAV 1 CL 2 DD + 0-1 CA 1 CLT 1 CL 3-4 DD
  • Route: B-C-F-H-I-J-L
    • Retreat after you reach this node because the node after L is the boss node. You will be at fuel and ammo penalty after you finished with this node. It's not recommended to continue to the boss
• Reach node N 2x S rank
  • TCF Comp: 2 CAV 4 DD + 1-2 CL 1 CA 3-4 DD
  • Route: B-C-F-G-H-I-J-K-N
    • Use the same composition you used for Phase 1.
• The above requirement will only need to be done once in Medium mode and below

Phase 3: Defeat Abyssal CA Hime

• STF Comp: 1FBB 2 CAV 1 CL 2 DD + 0-1 CA 1 CLT 1 CL 3-4 DD
• Node: B-C-E-G-O-Q
• Since the use of LBAS here is not possible, Boss Support Expedition is recommended to try and clear out as many enemy ships as possible before the first shelling phase commences
