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 Spring 2022 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.

Map Overview

E3 is a three-phase map using Striking Force Fleets (7 ship fleet) and Combined Fleets.

  • This map utilizes three locks:
    • Spring 2022 Event Tag 4.png Carrier Task Force Tag is applied to Carrier Task Forces sortied to this map and will start at point 2.
    • Spring 2022 Event Tag 5.png Area Escort Force Tag is applied to Striking Force Fleet or Surface Task Forces sortied to this map and will start at point 1 and point 3 respectively.

  • AACI is highly recommended.

Phase 1: Intercept the Fleet Guarding Murcadha Bay

  • Refer to Node L in Phase 0.5 of the guide.

Phase 2: Carry out the Lae Transport Operation

This is a TP Phase utilizing the Striking Force Fleet.

  • SF: 0-1AV, 1-2CA(V), 1-2CL, 3-4DD (FAST) Spring 2022 Event Tag 5.png
  • Route: 1 A D E H R L S T U
  • LBAS: U (Range 8, 44/88 AD/AP on 甲), L (Range 6)
    • There is an LoS Check at T (Cn3):
      • Casu = 26.0 / Easy = ?? / Med = 40.0 / Hard = 48.0

  • SF: 1CVL, 1-2CA(V), 1-2CL, 3-4DD (FAST) Spring 2022 Event Tag 5.png
  • Route: 1 A B D E H R L S T U
  • LBAS: U (Range 8, 44/88 AD/AP on 甲), L (Range 6)
    • There is an LoS Check at T (Cn3):
      • Casu = 26.0 / Easy = ?? / Med = 40.0 / Hard = 48.0
    • Will go through one extra node (B) but in exchange will bring more air power to the boss allowing for easy AS.
    • Make the CVL into a fighter mule to pass by most of the air nodes more easily.

  • Using Vanguard Formation for all nodes except for air nodes and Boss Node is recommended.
  • Having at least 1 strong AACI for the air nodes on the route is highly recommended.
  • 1 OASW capable ship in the first three slots of the fleet is recommended due to the submarine on Node S.
  • Aiming for A rank on the boss is recommended.
  • Sending LBAS to the boss to assist acquiring the A rank to deplete the TP Gauge is recommended.
  • 1 LBAS can be sent to L to help with passing through the node.
  • Boss support is recommended if only 1 LBAS gets sent to the boss node.
  • It is possible to use the Command Facility Striking Force Fleet Command FacilityStriking Force Fleet Command Facility.
    • Be warned about the drop in LoS which could prevent routing to the boss.

Phase 3: Final Battle! Breach the Solomon Sea!

  • Locking Note: It is possible to mix the Spring 2022 Event Tag 1.png along with the Spring 2022 Event Tag 5.png to do this Phase.

  • STF: 2(F)BB(V), 1CVL, 0-1AV, 1-2CL, 1AO/Akashi Kai/Akitsushima Kai + 1CL, 0-2CA(V), 0-2CLT, 3DD Spring 2022 Event Tag 5.png
  • Route: 3 G J K L W X Y
  • LBAS: Y (Range 6, 44/88 AD/AP on Hard, 96/191 AD/AP on Hard LD)
    • This is the heaviest fleet possible for the shortest route.
    • BB in the fleet should be Nagato, and/or Mutsu to utilize their Special Attacks mechanics.

  • STF: 2-3(F)BB(V), 1-2CVL, 1CL, 1AO/Akashi Kai/Akitsushima Kai + 1CL, 0-2CA(V), 0-2CLT, 2-3DD Spring 2022 Event Tag 5.png
  • Route: 3 G I J K L W X Y
  • LBAS: Y (Range 6, 44/88 AD/AP on Hard, 96/191 AD/AP on Hard LD)

  • STF: 1-2(F)BB(V) 2CVL 0-1SS(V), 1CL AO/Akashi Kai/Akitsushima Kai + 1-2CA(V), 1 SS(V) 0-1CLT 2-3DD Spring 2022 Event Tag 5.png
  • Route: 3 G I J K L W X Y
  • LBAS: Y (Range 6, 44/88 AD/AP on Hard, 96/191 AD/AP on Hard LD)
    • Only recommended to a particular group of ships that are almost all historical and can forgo using Touch-based attacks.
    • CVLs and FBB are recommended to be historical ships.
    • Escorts should be composed of mostly historical ships.
    • Using SS(V) in both main and escort can minimize the damage taken from the boss fleet from almost all enemy ships as the majority of ships are destroyers and ASW attacking ships.
    • While beatable without debuff, debuffing the boss may yield faster results.

  • There is a LoS check at X.
  • W is an Emergency Anchorage Repairs node.
  • Having at least 1 strong AACI is recommended.
  • Boss Support Expedition is recommended for LD.
  • DDs in the escort fleet should be set up for high night battle damage.

Phase 4: Debuff Phase

Once Last Dance is reached, the following steps can be performed to debuff the boss.

  • The following requirements are needed to complete the debuffing process.
LBAS E L Q R U
Hard AS x2 AS AS A S S
Medium ? ? ? ? S ?
Easy ? ? ? ? S ?
Casual ? ? ? ? S ?

  • LBAS: Air Defense
  • This can be done passively since getting AS on the air raid requires an LBAS set on "defense" with a strong enough air-defense

The process is the same as it was during phase 1:

  • CTF: 0-2FBB, 2CV(B), 0-1CVL, 0-2CA(V), 2CL + 1CL, 0-2CA(V), 0-2CLT, 2-4DD (FAST) Spring 2022 Event Tag 4.png
  • Route: 2 M N O P Q
  • LBAS: Range 5 to Q, 74/167 AP/AS
    • There is an LoS check at P.
    • Using one strong AACI ship such as the Akizuki-class, Fletcher-class DD is highly recommended.
    • Having 1-2 OASW ships to increase the passing rate to the boss is recommended.

A similar approach to phase 0.5, however, this will go through Node R in this step.

  • 1CVL 2CA(V) 1CL 3DD (FAST) Spring 2022 Event Tag 5.png
  • Route: 1 A B D E H R L
  • LBAS: Fightersweep L (Range 6) and E (Range 3)
    • Fighter muling CVL a to reach AS for the required nodes is recommended.
    • AACI is highly recommended.
    • Make sure ships are set up with Anti-PT set up (see here) to eliminate all the PT Imp Pack on node R.

Similar to phase 2, this is regarded as the hardest step to clear in the debuff.

  • 1CVL 2CA(V) 1CL 3DD (FAST) Spring 2022 Event Tag 5.png
  • Route: 1 A B D E H R L S T U
  • LBAS: U (Range 8, 44/88 AD/AP on 甲), L (Range 6)
    • There is an LoS Check at T (Cn3):
      • Casu = 26.0 / Easy = ?? / Med = 40.0 / Hard = 48.0
    • It's recommended to use historical ships to maximize damage output against the boss
    • Land base can either concentrate on the boss or be split to defend against air nodes like Node L.
    • CVL should be a fighter mule.
    • The main objective at the boss should be to:
      • Eliminate the smaller enemy ships and wither down the boss to a decent degree during day battle.
      • Use mainly TCI / GTRL units to maximize your chances of defeating the boss in night battle.
