Introduction

  • AL is designed to be completable by newer players.
    • Low level TTK will encounter easier enemies, but need more number of time to sink boss (likely 9-10 time compare to high level TTK need to sink boss only 6 time).
  • This event is "Two-front war". Ships that were sent on AL-operation area (E-1 and E-2), cannot join sorties on MI-operation area (E-3 onwards).
    • Ships who have participated in AL cannot participate in MI.
    • Ships who have participated in AL or MI cannot participate in support expeditions
    • SHIPS THAT PARTICIPATE IN AL SUPPORT EXPEDITION CAN GO TO MI, THEY ARE NOT LOCKED.
    • Equipment can be shared across ships
    • Advice is to have high-leveled CV with solid escort ships.
  • In order to send fleets to the event, you must have 5 free ship spaces and 20 free equipment spaces.
  • All maps bosses HP-based. When you damage a boss, even when not killing it, the gauge will decrease accordingly.
    • The boss ship must be sunk in the end of the gauge to clear the map. Damaging it to zero gauge but not sinking the boss (top ship of enemy fleet) will not clear it yet.
  • There is no boss gauge health regeneration.

Combined Fleet Mechanics

  • In Midway, you need to sortie two fleets at the same time.
    • The first (main) fleet is your typical fleet with the number 1. You need to put in a minimum of 2 CV(up to a maximum of 4) and is allowed to put in a maximum of 2 Heavy Ships. The last 2 slots can be either Light Ships or CVs only.
    • The second (escort) fleet is your fleet number 2 and needs 1 CL. You can add up to 2 CA/CAVs and from 3 to 5 DD.
Fleet combine mechanic.

__NOWYSIWYG__

  • For combined fleet battles (those nodes with a blue and red arrow), there is NO shelling phase. Instead, air combat occurs. If BB is present, 2 air combat phases occur.
  • In boss battles, air combat occurs as normal, then 2nd Fleet does a single shelling phase (regardless of enemy BB), then torpedo phase. After that, 1st fleet does two shelling phases (if BB present on your side), then torpedo phase. If you choose night battle, the 2nd fleet enters night battle, but the 1st fleet will not.
  • To combine fleets, go to fleet management window, then go to 2nd fleet and drag the flag over the 1st fleet's flag.
MI formations
  • Special formations quick explanation:
    • Top left is an ASW formation
    • Top right (Alert) appears to increase evasion and shelling power of the second fleet.
    • Bottom left (Diamond) increases Anti-Air defense.
    • Bottom right greatly increases the evasion and torpedo accuracy of your second fleet while preserving the shelling accuracy of the first fleet. Recommended for bosses.

Branching rules All posted branching rules, as of posting, are VERY tentative. Use at your own risk. ( 2 CVL required(not true, many people have gotten to boss even with one or no CVLs), northern route requires CV(?), no more than 2 Fast BB)

  • Having more than two CVL/CV in total or more than three SS/SSV in total will take you to A-C-F.
  • Having at least one SS will take you to northern route.
  • Having at least 4 DD will take you through the middle route (from A to B).
  • 1x Fast BB, 2 CA, CL, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss
  • 1x Fast BB, 3 CA, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss
  • 2x Fast BB, CA, DD, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss
  • 1x Fast BB, 3 CA, CV, DD takes southern route to boss
  • 2x CA, DD, Fast BB, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss
  • CA, DD, CL, BBV, 2 CVL takes southern route to boss
  • 2x CA, 2x BBV, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss
  • 4x CA, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss
  • 2x CA, 2x DD, 2x CVL takes northern route to boss
  • 2x CA, Fast BB, BBV, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss
  • 2x CAV, CL, DD, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss
  • CL, BBV, DD, CVL, CV, DD takes southern route to boss
  • CL, CVL, CAV, CA, 2x BBV takes southern route to boss
  • BBV, Fast BB, CA, DD, CV, CVL takes southern route to boss


  • AV(unremodelled), Fast BB, DD, BBV, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss. Total LOS must be more than 250 (this compositon's LOS is 257 & reach to the boss node). *Note that this is for HQ level bellow 40 (HQ lv.1-39).
  • CL, CAV, CA, BBV, 2x CVL takes southern route to boss. Take Yuubari as your flag and set her up for double attack/ASW using 2x 15.5cm triple yellows, 1 sonar, and 1 depth charge. This is important as it takes out the sub in Node A easily while maintaining firepower for night battles.


  • There is an as-of-yet unknown LoS requirement for reaching the boss node, consider equipping more than you think is necessary to avoid unpleasant surprises. Recon planes work better than radars.

Tips

  • H node is a night battle with two possible fleet formations and only one ship is equipped for cut-in attacks, making night battle equipment (Other than the Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)) ineffective.
  • Do not bother with Type 3 shells, 10cm guns and other anti-air equipment unless you fulfill LoS requirements, as they do not appear to reduce chances of being hit and damage by enemy carriers significantly.
  • All the enemies, including the enemy DDs, have the ability to deal heavy damage to your ships REGARDLESS OF LEVEL OR EQUIPMENT (Boilers/Turbines). Keep this in mind before you decide to commit your higher-leveled ships just to complete E-1.
  • A node has a submarine (changes to 'Elite' after HQ lvl 59, which is accurate due to enemy formation)

An alternative to using Yuubari for ASW is to use a CLT with 1 sonar, 1 depth charge, 1 midget sub. CLT are much more durable and have preemptive torpedo attack in exchange for lack of night double attack.

  • If you decide for northern route, have at least 150 FP for air superiority and stock some night battle equipment for the B node.
  • Recommended formations for pre-boss nodes on Southern Route (in order) - line abreast, echelon, double line.
  • [Double Line] formation works well for I node to increase accuracy for first aerial phase and shelling phase(s). [Diamond] is NOT recommended because the enemy light carriers HAS A CHANCE to hit hard regardless of formation, and your damage, accuracy will drop.


E-2

Diversionary tactics! Wreck the northern harbour!
陽動作戦!北方港湾を叩け!

Information

  • Boss: Northern Princess (北方棲姫)
  • Node D is a night battle node.
  • Node E is sometimes a sub node.
  • Killing the boss 7 times will empty its HP gauge.

Reward

Almi-map2 0.jpg

Branching rules

  • Bringing more than 2 heavy ships (CA(V)s, CVs, BBs, BBVs) or having more than one Battleship will take you to node A. Having 2 or less will take you to node C. Having 4 or more heavy ships with lead you to route A->B->F.
  • Having any BB leads to north route (node A
  • 2 DD, 2 CA, 1 CV, 1 CVL leads to Node A.
  • 2x CVL, 2x CA, 1x DD, 1x BBV leads to node A.
  • 2x CVL, 2x CA, 1x CL, 1x BBV leads to node A.
  • 2x CA/CAV, 2x DD, 2x CVL will go to C, then G. With enough LOS (exact requirement not know) it should always go G to E after that and then E to K.
  • 2x BBV, CA, CAV, CVL, CL will go to A,B,D,E,K. Equipment LOS was 60, total LOS was 287, HQ lvl 66.
  • 2x FBB, 1x CA, 1x CLT, 2x CVL/CV leads to node A, E to K need 350+ LOS, HQ lvl 100
  • 1 DD, CA, CVL, CA, BBV, FBB leads to node A, E to K need 293+ LOS, HQ lvl 52
  • Fast BB, BBV, CLT, 2x CA, CV will go to A,B,D,E,K. Total LOS was 350+

Tips

  • The Northern Princess is an installation-type and is vulnerable to Type 3 Shells.
  • The Northern Princess evolves into a tougher form for the final battle.
  • The Northern Princess is immune to torpedoes.
  • During shelling phase, dive bombers can't attack Northern Princess but torpedo bombers can. Don't confuse with aerial phase that torpedo bombers can't attack her.
  • E node has two completely different fleets, one has surface ships while the other is composed of submarines.
  • At least in northern route, line abreast works fine in all pre-boss nodes.
  • Certain LoS required to reach node E from G and E to K.
  • If having trouble clearing the boss, equip CA(V) With sanshiki instead of Radar + Seaplane or Radar + Radar. Using this setup, (assuming 2DD 2CA(V) 2 CVL) stack radars on one of the DD's instead to compensate for lost LOS. This will make that one DD useless, but your CA(V)'s will wreck the boss at night battle.


E-3

The Decisive Battle! Starting Operation MI
決戦!MI作戦発動

Information

Reward

Banner MI1.png

Branching rules

Tips

  • The recommended composition for the first fleet is 2 BB, 4 CV.
  • The recommended composition for the second fleet is 1 CL, 2 CA/CAV, 3 DD.
  • Excluding the boss node, the fights consist of two air combat phases with no shelling/torpedo salvo.
  • The enemy fleets have large amounts of planes, plan accordingly.
  • Consider aborting your sortie if you get directed to node B, fighting four battles may deplete your planes too much to get air superiority at the boss node.


E-4

Invasion of Midway Island
MI島攻略作戦

Information

  • Boss: Midway Princess (中間棲姫)
  • Node C is a sub node.
  • Killing the boss 10 times will empty its HP gauge.

Reward

Banner MI2.png
Summer2014 e4.jpg

Branching rules

  • Having 4 CV has a high chance of taking you from C to E.

Tips

  • The Midway Princess is an installation-type and is vulnerable to Type 3 Shells.
  • The Midway Princess evolves into a tougher form for the final battle.
  • The Midway Princess is immune to torpedoes. If CVs are equipped with dive bombers (red), they cannot attack her. Torpedo bombers (blue) work for the shelling phase.
  • Using 4 CV and 2 BB still works for this map but has a high chance of going A-C-E.
  • Using 3 CV, 2 BB and a CAV (CA?) and 1 CL, 2 CA (CAV?) 3 DD has a very high chance of going A-C-F-J-K.
  • Using Akitsu Maru or 4 DD goes to B.


E-5

Securing the Midway Islands
MI島確保作戦

Information

  • Boss: Aircraft Carrier Princess (空母棲姫)
  • Nodes A and B are submarine nodes
  • Nodes D and G are night battle nodes
  • Killing the boss 9 times will empty its HP gauge.

Rewards

Banner MI3.png
E5-map.png

Branching rules

  • As of yet, no branching rules have been found, your fleet can and will end up all over the place.
  • LoS appears to be less important than previous maps, certain routes do not check it at all (No seaplane).
  • Unconfirmed Large Scale - Oddly enough if you start the map with 2 ships of your 1st fleet (the fleet with the CVs) in yellow and the rest of your ships in your first and second fleets in green you will go to B node every single time. (Health based branching may be being used on MI1-3)

Tips

  • The boss node formation changes for the final battle, the two Light Carrier Nu-Class Flagship will be replaced by two Standard Carrier Wo-Class Flagship II if your level is ≥105, those who are ≤104 will only have one replaced.
  • The recommended composition for the first fleet is 2 BB, 4 CV.
  • The recommended composition for the second fleet is 1 CL, 2 CA/CAV, 3 DD.
  • Due to the low/no LoS requirement, foregoing the radars from your BBs for Type 91 Armor-Piercing (AP) Shell can help sink the boss.
  • Consider deploying a boss support expedition for the final battle.


E-6

Counter Attack to AL/MI Operation
敵別働隊を迎撃、本土近海防衛!

Information

  • Boss: Battleship Princess (2 of them as flag and 2nd spot in final battle)
  • A: Fleet consisting of 1 BB (Ta), 1 CL (He), 2 CVL (Nu), and 2 DDs.
  • C: Fleet consisting of all subs (all have pre-torpedo option)
  • D & F: Night Battle nodes
  • E: Empty
  • H: CV resembling Southern War Princess (350HP), CV (Wo), CA (Ri), 3 DDs
  • Northern pre-boss node: Aircraft Carrier Demon

Rewards

Summer2014 e5 initial2.png

Branching rules

  • C
  • D

Tips

  • 3BBs, 2CVs, and 1CLT have been proven to go to boss node.
  • Replacing 2CVs with CVLs seems to set node away from night battle nodes (video proof of only one instance: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm24195036).
  • Repairs tools can be used to great effect. Notably used on CV/CVLs for their lower hp base(?).
