Totaku's Proposal

About Ambush Nodes

On this event map, player will get to experience a new mechanic known as an Enemy Ambush Node. There nodes are generally encountered only if your fleet meet specific conditions which redirect them along a path to this node. Similar to the way LoS check are done in maps.

For this event, Ambush Nodes mainly occur if your fleet does not meet the Surface Radar requirements and if you land on one, you will enter a battle.

During these battle, your fleet will not participate in attacking the enemy fleet, but the enemy will attempt to attack your fleet. Your will consume 7% of it's total fuel in the sequence.

It's recommended to try to do what you can to avoid hitting these nodes as much as possible.

This map is divided into 2 phase, a Transportation phase and a Killing phase. Both objectives will need to be completed in order to complete this map.

Most battle in this map mainly consist of simple fights which will pit your fleet up to 4 enemy ships mainly consisting of subs, DDs or CLs mixed with DDs. Most of these fights can be won easily, espcially with an expeirenced fleet. For this guide, the focus will be on the boss nodes and requirements needed for completing the objectives.

Phase 1- Transportation through the Blackket Strait

Recommended Composition

1 CL, 4 DD or 5 DD

Have your fleet drum and Daihatsu, but keep a balance between combat and TP gear to get the best outcome to deplete the TP gauge. The TP phase here is small so completing should only take a short while to do.

Boss is a Tsu-class with Destroyers and should be overall easy to S rank if you equip your fleet properly.

Phase 2 - Battle Against the Abyssal Nimbus Princess

Recommended Composition

1 CL, 5 DD (Surface Radars needed to complete the objective)

Fleet will battle the Abyssal Nimbus Princess who will consist of herself + 3 CL and 2 other DDs. A Boss support fleet is recommended for most difficulties. Your fleet will need Surface Radars equipped on your ships (?/?/?/6) in order to reach Node L.

In addition to this, ships from the Asashio-class Kai Ni, Shiratsuyu-class Kai Ni, and Yura Kai Ni all can deliver a damage modifer to the Nimbus Princess which consist of a value of 1.3x the normal damage value.

Murasame can deliver 1.5x the normal damage value.

Bring a ship with a torpedo cut in to quickly put an end to the boss.
