Stage Guide

1-3 Branching Rules
Nodes		Rules
Start	A	Go to A if fleet contains AO or AV Go to C if fleet contains CV(L) Otherwise, random routing
	C
A	D	Meet ANY of the following to go to D Fleet contains AO DE ≥ 4 Go to E if fleet only contains SS(V) 80% to D if fleet contains AV and DD+DE ≥ 4 Otherwise, random routing
	E
F	H	Go to H if fleet contains any CV(B), slow BBs (BBV doesn't count) Meet ANY of the following to go to J DD ≥ 4 Fleet contains CL and DD+DE ≥ 4 Otherwise, random routing (The more CV(L/B) you bring, the higher chance you will go to node H)
	J
H	G	Go to G if fleet contains AO Go to J if fleet contains CL and DD ≥ 2, or fleet contains AV Otherwise If DD ≥ 3, random routing (Very small chance for I) If DD ≤ 2, random routing (Very small chance for G)
	I
	J

Recommended Fleet

2XX, 4DD(XX can't be any heavy ships such as (F)BB or CV, BBV and CVL are fine though)

• guarantees F J branching

Oil Refinery Farming

The Oil Refinery area is a hot spot for farming fuel . As such Node D of this map now serves as a major area to farm for fuel.

• Kamoi/Souya, 4-5DD, 0-1SS(V)
• 1AV, 4-5DD, 0-1SS(V) (if you don't have any AO)
• Route = A D B E

• Having Drums, Landing Craft, and Tanks equipped on your ships will increase your fuel gain.
  • Only having those equipments in your fleet is a viable way to farm.
  • Luigi Torelli is recommended if you don't have enough Tanks for your SS(V), since she can equip Drums.
• You will only have around 80% of reaching node D if you are using the AV comp. Fleets containing AO such as Kamoi or Souya, however, will guarantee node D instead.

• Node D will provide you with with a base amount of 10/15/20 .
  • In addition to this, each and / in your fleet will give the following bonuses:
    • +2 per
    • +3 per /
  • With enough and / it can become possible to gain a large amount of resources if you make constant trips to this spot.
  • Once you complete your first battle, "retreat" to your base and refuel your fleet before going back out again.
• If done correctly, this can result in an alarming fuel gain that can end up possibly surpassing any fuel base expedition making this become the ideal location to farm for fuel.
• Using "cheap" ships to refuel in your fleet (such as Kamikaze-class and Mutsuki-class) can reduce your fuel consumption and so increase your overall farming.
• You can alternatively use throwaway DDs with Drums, so you can never refuel/use them until they are critically damaged, and them and scrap them to same on resources (don't forget to swap their drums with the new ones before doing it).
