Winter 2018 Event

The Winter 2018 Event is scheduled to begin on February 16th, 2018. This Event is titled " Showdown at Operation Shou-Gou! Battle of Leyte Gulf (Part 2)".

This event will serve as a continuation of the Battle of Leyte Gulf from back in the Fall 2017 Event. Unlike the previous event, this event will focus heavily on the Kurita Fleet, Suzuki Fleet and the Ozawa Fleet being the main participants in the event waters. Meanwhile members of the Nishimura Fleet and Shima Fleet will still have a valuable role in the event.

The Event will bring back the new mechanic known as the Striking Force Fleet which will allow you to organize a 7 ship fleet. A new formation known as the Vanguard Formation which will protect some of the front ships while allowing other ships to evade efficiently. [1]

Details about the event mentioned in Kensuke Tanaka's interview in January's Comptiq and Feburary's Comptiq have noted that the event will serve as the Final Event for KanColle Phase 1.

In addition to this, Dev Tweets have noted the event will be a Large Scale Decisive Battle. [2]

Battle of the Leyte Gulf

Wikipedia Article on Battle of Leyte Gulf

Known to be the largest Naval Battle in history which occurred in waters near the Philippine islands of Leyte, Samar and Luzon, from 23–26 October 1944, between the US Navy and Australian Forces vs. the Imperial Japanese Navy as the, fought over the Island of Leyte that served as the IJN's main supply line. Due to the size of this battle, it's recommended to go view the Wikipedia Article on the Battle of Leyte Gulf for additional details. The Fall 2017 Event itself will focus mainly on the Southern IJN's counter-attack operation to attack through the Surigao Strait and the fleet's involved in it.

The Northern Force Fleet - Ozawa's Fleet

The Fleet lead by Jisaburou Ozawa, who lead a decoy fleet into the battle of the Leyte Gulf to help draw out the US's 3rd Carrier Force in an attempt to help Kurita's Fleet safely pass the San Bernardino Strait in an attempt to get to the main landing forces at Leyte. This fleet consisted of the last of the IJN's then functioning carrier force which at the time of battle served as nothing more than a bait fleet to distract Hearsay's Fleet from the real part of the operation. All the Carriers were sunk in the fight resulting inthe IJN losing the last of it's working carrier forces.

The Fleet consisted of Zuikaku (Sunk), Zuihou (Sunk), Chiyoda (Sunk), Chitose (Sunk), Ise, Hyuuga, Isuzu, Ooyodo, Tama (sunk later following the battle), Akizuki (Sunk), and Hatsuzuki (Sunk)

In the KanColle Event, this Fleet plays a role in the 3rd Event Map.

The Central Force Fleet Group 1 - Kurita's Fleet

This Fleet was lead by Takeo Kurita who lead the main fleet that was part of the attack group intended to stage the main assault against the US fleet invading the Island of Leyte. His plan was to invade the American Fleet forces invading Leytw by coming from the North of Samar. During his attempt to traverse the waters he ran into several obstacles which causes several ships in the fleet to sink, but upon passing the San Bernardino Strait was when the Main Forces experienced taking a heavy hit from group of the 3rd Fleet Carrier Task Force that was located at Samar taking out most of Kurita's main forces.

This ships that he had within his fleet were: Yamato, Musashi (sunk), Nagato, Myoukou, Haguro, Maya (Sunk), Choukai (Sunk), Takao, Atago (Sunk), Noshiro, Hayashimo, Asashimo, Naganami, and Fujinami

The Central Force Fleet Group 2 - Suzuki's Fleet

This Fleet was lead by Yoshio Suzuki who leads followed along with Kurita' Fleet that was part of the attack group intended to stage the main assault against the US fleet invading the Island of Leyte. He was there to help aid Kurita's fleet during the assult on Leyte. During his attempt to traverse the waters he ran into several obstacles which cause several ships in the fleet to sink, but upon passing the San Bernardino Strait was when the Main Forces experienced taking a heavy hit from the group of the 3rd Fleet Carrier Task Force that was located at Samar forcing him to retreat.

The ships he had in his fleet were: Kongou, Haruna, Tone, Chikuma (sunk), Kumano, Suzuya (sunk), Yahagi, Urakaze, Isokaze, Hamakaze, Yukikaze, Kiyoshimo and Nowaki

First Striking Force (1YB), Third Group - Nishimura's Fleet

The fleet lead by Admiral Shouji Nishimura, who would be one of the main fleets that would lead the attack into the Surigao Strait on the night of October 24th, 1944. It would be at this strait he would meet his end after running into an ambush conducted by the US Navy's 7th Support Fleet.

The ships that he had within his fleet were: Yamashiro (Flagship) (Sunk), Fusou (Sunk), Mogami (Sunk), Yamagumo (Sunk), Asagumo (Sunk), Michishio (Sunk), and Shigure.

Second Striking Force (2YB) - Shima's Fleet

The Fleet lead by Admiral Kiyohide Shima, who served as the second part of the Fleet that would conduct an attack against the US Navy at Leyte. He along with Nishimura attempted to invade the Surigao Strait on the night of October 24th, 1944, however after witnessing the fall of Admiral Nishimura's Fleet due to the ambush and bad timing with keeping the fleet in sync Nishimura. He was forced to retreat thus preventing the attack on the Leyte Gulf from the South.

The ships that he had within his fleet were: Nachi, Ashigara, Abukuma, Shiranui, Kasumi, Ushio, and Akebono.

Other members of the Second Striking Force (2YB)

While note entirely connected to the Battle of the Surigao Strait, there were other ships in Shima's Fleet who were a part of his fleet that was also formerly part of Nishimura's Fleet. Whether or not they'll have any impact on the event is unknown.

The Fleet Members consisted of: Wakaba, Hatsushimo, Hatsuharu, Aoba, Kinu, and Uranami

Mechanics

Participation requirements

• Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
• Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
• Must have 20 free equipment slots.

Special Mechanics

1. The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium), Operation C (丙, Easy) or Operation D (丁, Very Easy) .
   • Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
   • An important note to all Admirals intending to clear the event on Hard difficulty - further (new) conditions now apply:
     • When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
       • Switching between any other difficulties will not reset the debuff mechanism.
2. The debuff system from Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be killed to reduce boss armor will return.
3. Returning this event will allow a fleet with seven ships (Striking Force Fleet) to sortie to certain event maps that allow single fleet operations starting from E-2, and also includes the final map of the event.
   • The Striking Force cannot be sortied during exercises or sent on expeditions while it contains seven ships.
   • The Striking Force can only be created and used in the third fleet in the menu (out of a total of four fleets).
   • A Striking Force with a flagship that carries a new piece of equipment, the Striking Force Fleet Command Facility, will be able to make use of the new Single Ship Evacuation mechanic.
     • The new Single Ship Evacuation mechanic that will become available for the Striking Force as of E-4 allowing a single ship in the fleet to retreat from the battlefield after an enemy engagement if she suffered heavy damage.
       • It is possible for the damage to become even worse during a Single Ship Evacuation.
       • Unlike the Combined Fleet's evacuation mechanic, it does not require an escort destroyer.
     • The new Striking Force Fleet Command Facility will become obtainable and useable via the old Fleet Command Facility and the Action Report that can be earned in the upcoming Fall Event. The Fleet Command Facility, as well as the new Action Report item, will be obtainable on all difficulty levels, including Medium and Easy Mode.
     • Supplementary information regarding the new Striking Force Fleet Command Facility and the Single Ship Evacuation it allows when carried by the striking force's flagship:
       • The evacuation does not require an escort destroyer.
       • The evacuation consumes the ship's entire fuel & ammo reserves.
       • Only one ship can be evacuated per battle.
       • The damage the ship suffered may become worse during the evacuation, but she will never sink.
4. Returning this event, a new Fleet formation will be introduced called the Vanguard Formation.
   • This formation will organize the fleet such that the 3rd-6th/7th ships protect the Flagship and 2nd Ship of the Fleet.
     • In addition, the formation allows for ships to become more evasive in combat situations, especially with well-trained Destroyer.
     • This formation is also available only during the duration of the event.
     • The formation will be usable by both normal fleets as well as the Striking Force Fleet.
5. New: NPC Friend Fleets have been introduced into the game.
   • Friend Fleets act as another unit that appears in particular battles to help aid your fleet when attacking the enemy at the start of night battle.
     • As of current, only E-4 will allow the use of Friend Fleets at the boss node.
     • NPC Friend Fleets are selected from a randomized preset list of ship.
     • Depending on who you have in your fleet can also influence who will be arrive to aid you in battle.

Tips Should you choose to, you may use a Striking Force Fleet instead of a standard fleet here. Unlocking Boss Node: A+ Rank at 2 of the 3 nodes: B, F, and N. Medium and Hard require A+ on all 3 nodes. Recommended Compositions: When planning for this map, it is highly advisable to set aside any ships required for future maps first, be it Kurita, Nishimura, Ozawa, or Shima fleet ships. In line with this, utilizing ships which are unlikely to be required for historical purposes in this event, such as Satsuki, Fumizuki, Yuubari, and Libeccio may be of value. There are three primary objectives that must be completed before the boss node (O) becomes available, A ranks are required at: Node B Node F Node N The core final fleet that used to reach the boss node O will run along the lines of CL 2DD/DE 3XX. The three wild cards are usually be a BBV (for a second shelling round) along with 2 more DD/DEs. Should problems present themselves, the addition of an additional ship and use of a striking force may be required. Post-EO Release Update: The transport operation for this event at E5 does not utilize a CVL, if, for some reason, you are encountering difficulties killing the boss, Taiyou may safely be released for use here. Node B Node B is relatively simple to reach: a CL is required to route to D, removing the CL and replacing with a DD will guarantee routing for this node. Two ASW Node F Node F can be reached with a single CL and 2DD/DEs in the fleet, with no need to worry about branching. Node F, being a surface node, will not require as much ASW gear, although the presence of a single sub increases the value of bringing an OASW ship if one can be spared. Node N As only two nodes are required for those on easy and below difficulties, node N can safely be ignored by players on such difficulties. Node N can be reached with the same fleet as used to reach F, a third DD/DE will guarantee the fastest route possible (DGKN). Node N is relatively difficult for a unprepared fleet (Ancient DD hime), however, the presence of LBAS should greatly improve one's chances here. Boss Node: O The last major check here is the LoS requirement to be routed to the boss. The boss node itself is relatively simple and easy in the presence of well-equipped ships, it is therefore possible to have the BBV carry recon planes to fill out any LoS deficit.

Tips Event Planning This map will utilize the Kurita/Suzuki Fleet (often simply referred to as Kurita) and Nishimura Fleet. All ships used here may be used again in E4, Kurita fleet ships may also be utilized yet again in E6. E4 is a difficult map, and calls for a heavy investment of ships for locking Critically, E5 and E6 call for the Shima fleet, one member of which is 'Abukuma', a key asset in any event. Do consider keeping Abukuma for those maps if possible. E3 utilizes a submarine, saving your best subs is a consideration E3, the Ozawa fleet map, calls for Zuihou, Chitose and Chiyoda as historical options, limiting the number of fast CVLs available For the most optimal branching, easy, medium, and hard require 3, 4, and 6 Nishimura ships respectively, and 4, 6, and 8 Kurita fleet ships respectively Tagging Details: Strike forces sortied out in the third fleet will receive the Nishimura tag Single or combined fleets sortied here will receive the Kurita tag On Medium and hard, combined fleets may not include ships with the Nishimura tag Additional Planning Suzuya, Kumano, Tone and Chikuma are all CAVs who were part of the Kurita fleet, be cautious before using them in the Nishimura fleet (if for some reason, you do not have Mogami and are doing medium) Map Objectives The fleet that will be used for the final boss is a combined fleet, with the map itself being relatively simple from the second starting point (2 airstrikes, 2 surface nodes prior to boss) In order to unlock the second starting point, up to four objectives must be met. Very Easy: Reach Node T Easy: Reach Node T and A+ Node S Med+: Reach Node T and A+ Nodes S, X and Y Nishimura Fleet Objective: Node S, X, and Y General base fleet: 2BBV CAV 4DD Nodes S, X, and Y are reached through going through at least nodes G and M, a sub and air raid node specifically, neither of these nodes is particularly dangerous, with G comprising Ka-flags at worst. Node S, X, and Y can be reached using the Nishimura fleet (i.e. third fleet strike force). Nodes S and X are PT boat nodes, while Node Y is a combined fleet battle starting at night. For this reason, DDs can be equipped with two guns and skilled lookouts. The fleet generally utilized for this route is 2BBV (Fusou-class) CAV (most often Mogami), 4DD (Shigure, Michishio, Asagumo, and Yamagumo). As only up to 6 of them are required, feel free to recompose your fleet as required. An additional option is to add on a submarine as a tank (e.g. 2BBV CAV 3DD SS), PT boats, like destroyers, are capable of ASW and are therefore forced to attack submarines. As the submarine here is only used as a tank to draw fire and is not under serious threat, do not feel pressured to use your best submarines. Node Y, being a conventional surface battle, calls for the use of anti-surface equipment, conventional double attack setups more than suffice, taking AS to utilize artillery spotting is possible in the day battle phase. AA guns and skilled lookouts function well as a third slot on DDs for anti PT boat equipment, while Mogami and the Fusous can utilize an AA gun (or secondary gun) with a seaplane bomber against them. Do take the need to fight effectively at Y into consideration before doing so. Throughout this phase, do consider the use of a (striking force) fleet command to withdraw ships as necessary. Kurita Fleet Objective: Reach T General base fleet: 2FBB 2CA(V) 2CVL with CL2DD 2CA CLT/CA T can be reached in one of two ways: either with a single submarine (or fleet of submarines), or with a conventional surface task force. The Kurita fleet requires 4, 6, or 8 members of the historical fleet for the best possible path. Use of multiple (O)ASW ships and even ASW land support here should greatly simplify this run. Alternatively, T can be reached using a single fleet of submarines, this fleet will face ASW challenges at nodes C and I, conventional bomber support to these nodes should be used if required. Boss Phase With the second phase unlocked, obtaining the shortest route in this phase requires: Kurita fleet ships in an STF (once again, 4, 6, and 8 respectively) A FAST fleet (Hard Mode only) Kongou, Haruna, Tone, Chikuma, Maya, Choukai, Suzuya, Kumano, Haguro, Myoukou and Yukikaze offer many options (that list is not exhaustive), the main group of ships that should be avoided here from the Kurita fleet include Nagato and Yamato class ships. A surface task group here can comprise an escort group of CL2DD 2CA (chosen from the many cruisers available for this map), with the main force comprising 2FBB 2CA(V) 2CVLs. Be cautious not to choose CVLs from the Ozawa fleet, Suzuya and Kumano here are particularly useful as they fulfill both roles at once. CVLs in this fleet will be mostly called upon to provide fighter power, with (usually) three fighters and a dive bomber, a dive is chosen over a TB in this case to provide shelling power and due to the high amount of enemy AA, consider the use of fighter bombers here. Likewise, CAVs here can carry seaplane fighters to provide supplementary air power, as always, their seaplane fighters may never be completely depleted, due to the nature of how percentage shootdown works. As an alternative option, a CV with an additional CAV may be brought in place of the 2 CVLs. Overall, this map is relatively simple, even on hard, with the most dangerous node being node W, LBAS can safely be sent there, an FCF can be brought safely without compromising fleet capabilities too heavily.

Tips This map requires you to organize the Ozawa Fleet. For more details on Historical Ozawa Fleet members, please view the Historical Background for more details. All Ships formed in the Combined Fleet or Single fleet will use the Ozawa Fleet Tag. On Very Easy and Easy Mode, ships with the Nishimura Fleet Tag cannot be used in the Combined Fleet segment of the map, so plan carefully around this. Unlocking the Shortcuts (J->N): Reach Node H and S (Easy+) Gain Air Superiority while Defending in a Land Base Air Raid (Hard) All LBAS should also not be damaged to 75% or below of their total health (混乱). Reach Node H (and also gain Air Superiority while Defending against a Land Base Air Raid on Hard) The easiest way to do this is to send a single SS(V) to the western portion of the map. Set all LBAS to interceptors/fighters on defense before the sortie. The only node that may endanger your SS(V) is node B. Sparkling is recommended. The rest of the nodes are submarine or air battle nodes. The LBAS air raid should trigger during your submarine's passage towards Node H. Repeat until you fulfill the conditions listed above. Reach Node S The shortcut that will be unlocked only helps you avoid one additional air battle node (node K; shortcut is from node J to node N), so bring a full fleet for a chipping run to the boss node. As with later runs, you will need at least 4/6/8 Ozawa Fleet members for the shortest route to the boss. Shoukaku does not count as an Ozawa Fleet member (see above for the full list of Ozawa Fleet ships). See below for fleet composition recommendations. Once you have reached node S (and assuming that you have cleared all other requirements), the shortcut will appear on the map. Boss Phase With enough Ozawa Fleet ships (4/6/8 on Easy/Medium/Hard), you should be able to take the shortest route: L-J-N-Q-S-U. Recommended fleet composition: Main Fleet: 2CV, 2CVL, 2BBV Escort Fleet: 1CL, 2DD, 2-3CA, 0-1CLT This is not an absolute requirement. Various factors may affect your considerations in terms of fleet composition: How many Ozawa Fleet ships you need on your preferred difficulty. Again, Shoukaku does not count as an Ozawa Fleet member. How much fighter power you have, and the availability of high-quality fighters. (See also below for LBAS considerations.) This should also inform your choices in terms of equipment set-ups. Fighter-bombers are likely to be useful. How many CLTs you have to spare. A CLT is not really needed for this map, so save your CLTs if you need to. Available CA(V)s. TCIs are not very necessary here. Additionally, CAVs (or CAs that can utilise seaplane fighters) in a combined fleet's escort fleet can contribute to fighter power during battles against an enemy combined fleet, But be aware that most CAVs are part of historical fleets necessary for E-2 and E-4, and also that ships tagged to the Nishimura Fleet cannot be sortied to the combined fleet segment of this map. AACI is highly recommended. Akizuki and Hatsuzuki are both Ozawa Fleet members. On Hard, your options are limited. You will likely be using Zuikaku, Ise, Hyuuga, and 2 out of 3 Ozawa Fleet CVLs (Chitose/Chiyoda/Zuihou) for your main fleet (along with 1 more CV). The escort fleet will then need to contain 3 Ozawa Fleet ships (likely the 2 DDs and 1 CL). Speed does not matter; on higher difficulties, you will likely need Ise and Hyuuga (both slow) to meet the required number of Ozawa Fleet ships anyway. An important consideration to take into account here is the availability of good LBAS fighters with long range, and range extension equipment: Even with very high starting fighter power, you will lose substantial amounts of fighter power on the way to the boss. The LBAS range required to reach the boss node is 8. The LBAS range required to reach the pre-boss node (S) is 7. Depending on available equipment, it is advisable to commit LBAS squadrons to at least the boss node, in order to help in reducing the fighter power required for Air Superiority during the air combat phase (and to assist in damaging the boss' fleet). Attaining at least AS is important for your fleet to be able to bring down the enemy more easily through the use of cut-in / double attacks. The exact composition of your LBAS squadrons will vary depending on: Number of fighters available and range of fighters available Number of bombers available and range of bombers available Availability of range extension equipment such as the Type 2 Flying Boat or the PBY-5A Catalina Please also do note that the fighter power requirements at the boss node increase significantly during Last Dance. This will probably require additional LBAS strikes (if they are not already committed to the boss node), and/or an increase in the number of fighters slotted into your fleet. FCF is helpful for retreating damaged ships (especially at the pre-boss; LoS check is before the pre-boss node). But you may wish to consider replacing it for additional fighter power during Last Dance, if needed. Overall, this map is also relatively simple, albeit with rather high fighter power requirements (especially on Hard).

Tips Map Info Note: All info is currently based upon initial reports, so take the advice with caution before using your fleet regarding what may come in later missions. Event Planning This map utilizes the same locks as E-2. However, Fast speed is no longer a hard requirement, although some restrictions apply (up to 3 slow ships, no overriding wiht boilers) CAVs like Suzuya, Kumano, Tone, and Chikuma can be used for E-4 as part of the historical fleet there, but at least one CAV should be saved for E5 and E6. Tag Notes This map requires you to organize the Kurita Fleet and Nishimura Fleet. For more details on Historical Kurita/Suzuki and Nishimura Fleet members, please view the Historical Background for more details. Ships formed in the Combined Fleet with no tag will use the Kurita Fleet Tag. When forming the Kurita Fleet, both Kurita and Suzuki Fleet members may be used. Ships formed in the Striking Force Fleet with no tag will be marked as the Nishimura Fleet Tag. Unlocking the Boss Node Casual: Reach Node M Easy: Reach Node N Med: Score B+ Rank at Node N Hard: Score A+ Rank at Node N Nishimura Fleet Phase Recommended Fleet 2 BBV, 1 CAV, 4DD (Nishimura Fleet members required Easy - 3 , Normal - 5, Hard - 6) Overall, the Nishimura phase is nearly identical to its E-2 counterpart and is extremely straightforward. The Vanguard Formation can be used to protect the fleet until the target node is reached. As with E2, PT Imps will appear on nodes H and M, ships equipped with an Anti-Air Gun and/or Skilled Lookouts should easily counter them. (See PT Imp Group page for more details) Node N contains an enemy fleet consisting of mostly BBs in a battle beginning at night, as only an A rank is required even on hard, this should be a fairly straightforward battle Once the required condition (above) has been completed, the path to the boss will appear, commencing the Kurita fleet phase. Recommended LBAS for Nishimura Fleet 3 Bombers 1 ASW Bomber to Node F (node with mixed enemy fleet including 1 submarine) 4 Fighters / Interceptors to Node C (air battle node) Use of the in-route/node support expedition is recommended should difficulties arise. Please note that Node N is not a boss node. Kurita Fleet Phase Recommended Fleets 2-4 (F)BB 2CVL + CL2DD 2CA CLT/CA 2-4 (F)BB CV CAV + CL2DD 2CA CLT/CA Note: The route requires no more than 3 slow ships based on ORIGINAL speed, turbines and boilers may NOT be used to override the requirements. This route involves 2 airstrikes followed by 3 surface battles prior to the boss. This phase requires a very high amount of fighter power, with CVLs as full fighter carriers not being uncommon If additional air power is required, Nagato, Yamato, and Musashi can all fit seaplane fighters if needed, which will usually require the tradeoff of an AP shell (except on Musashi) Suzuya and Kumano can be used as CVLs on this map, however, if they are unavailable, then a CV+CAV combo may be used instead On the boss node, ships in the escort fleet can also participate in the air battle (combined fleet vs combined fleet), should Suzuya and Kumano be used in the escort fleet, they can still contribute to the air fight here. Maya Kai Ni (also a Kurita Fleet member) is highly recommended for this map, both for her AACI, and also as a very strong attacker in the escort fleet, she is capable of running a TCI if luckmodded. The primary challenges are the surface nodes and the penultimate node, with up to 4 Nu-kais or 6 Rus. A 12cm 30 Tube Rocket Launcher Kai 2 has a chance to neutralize the damage done by an airstrike if equipped on a BBV, CV(B/L), AV, or CAV. In this case, it would be invaluable for protecting your vulnerable CVLs The FCF is usually for retreating damaged ships, however, this map possesses some differences 5/7/10 (Easy, Med, and Hard respectively) Kurita Fleet ships are are required for the shortest route to the boss at node Q. The only node where the FCF is completely safe to use is therefore Node R (the pre-boss node), after the Kurita member check at node Q. Despite this issue, bringing an FCF is still a valid option especially when chipping, given the difficulty of node R. Additionally, there is no LoS check between the pre-boss and boss nodes. Battling the Escort Water Princess The Escort Water Princess will be in a combined fleet, notably, her main fleet includes transport ships which themselves pose little threat to your fleet other than drawing fire. The boss will only attack your fleet at night if you have a searchlight equipped; consider the risk of an attack against the rewards of bringing one to increase your night battling capability. The boss, especially on hard mode, has extremely high armor (278 on hard), torpedo CIs here are highly recommended. Yukikaze and Myoukou are amongst the best choices for this map to take advantage of the Kurita fleet bonuses, especially in the absence of a luckmodded Maya/Choukai . With regard to LBAS options, at least 3 bombers should be used, with the final slot being either a bomber or fighter. There is no point in using a fighter if doing so would not change the air state from AI to AD (see aerial combat). AO as an option With regard to final form (on hard mode), an AO with one Maritime Resupply may be considered to offset the fuel and ammo penalties. Nonetheless, there are two key tradeoffs that need to be made: Firstly, there is a restriction of 3 ships with an base speed of "Slow", Hayasui being one of them would almost certainly require an extra raid node (or a slow BB to be removed in favor of a Kongou). Secondly, Hayasui would fit in the escort fleet alongside CL2DD, necessitating the removal of a CA or CLT from the composition, in itself significant. Hard mode only allows up to 2 non-Kurita ships, of which Hayasui and a CLT would be, therefore requiring all 10 others to be historical ships (therefore shutting Abukuma usage out) The Friend Fleet It is possible to influence what friend fleets will arrive: With the exception of DesDiv 19, Friend fleets will not appear if a member of your fleet matches one of theirs. The best possible friend fleet that can arrive is the Nishimura fleet with its 7 members Maya and Yukikaze would be excellent choices for E4 even if this mechanic had not existed, and as such automatically exclude the possibility of CruDiv4 and the Guadacanal fleet At this point, the three fleets which could appear are DesDiv19 (default), the European fleet (weakish), and Nishimura (ideal) To exclude the European fleet would require one of Warspite, Ark Royal, Richelieu, or Jervis to be run. The only non-impractical way to exclude this fleet would be to use Richelieu in place of a Kongou (or Warspite in place of a Nagato/Yamato). Using Richelieu, of course, comes with its tradeoffs in terms of fleet composition, and may be more practical for medium or easy difficulties. LBAS Recommendations 4 Land-Based Bombers - For Node R This node requires a combat radius of 5. There being no enemy carriers here allows 4 bombers to be run. 3 Bombers +(Fighter or Bomber) - For Boss node This node requires a combat radius of 4. At least three bombers should be sent to the boss, the fourth group, however, depend upon the difficulty. Achieving AD (on hard) requires approximately 96+ fighter power, if this threshold cannot be reached with the addition of a single fighter (remember that bombers contribute AA as well), it would simply be better to use four bombers. (link provided below) On Last Dance, you may wish to consider committing both LBAS to the boss node to maximize your chances of victory. As with other last dance runs, both support expeditions are recommended; sparkling your fleet is also an additional option should issues arise.

Tips Event Planning For this map, you will be using members of the Shima Fleet. Historic Members of Battle of Ormoc Bay CA: Ashigara,Nachi CL: Kinu DD: Akebono, Asashimo, Hatsuharu, Hatsushimo, Kasumi. Naganami, Okinami, Ushio, Uranami, Wakaba DE: Shimushu Despite historically being involved with the Shima fleet, members such as Abukuma, Shiranui, and Aoba do not count for this segment of the event, and may be used on other maps, Abukuma in particular may be deployed where issues arise. Tagging Rules Untagged Ships that partake in E-5 will be given the 'Shima Fleet Tag E5 Objectives E5 is a map with two phases, with additional requirements to unlock the second phase. The first phase is a transport phase involving a strike force; in order to unlock the second phase, you'll need to: Complete the Transport Operation Score Air Parity / Superiority on Node D (AP for Medium / AS for Hard) Get Air Superiority on an Land Base Air Raid (Medium +) The Second Phase requires a Striking force against a Heavy Cruiser Princess Phase 1 - Transport Phase The Transport Operation is relatively straightforward with the appropriate number of historical ships (2 on Easy / 3 on Normal / 5 on Hard). Even on hard, most of this phase presents few issues, largely due to the presence of an additional LBAS squadron. Clearing the TP bar Example fleet: 2CA CL 3DD DD/Akitsumaru With the appropriate number of historical ships, the route taken is C-D-E-G-F-H-I-J-L, with two airstrike nodes and 2 surface nodes prior to the boss As with other transport operations, your main objective should be to bring as many drums and/or landing craft as possible while scoring at least an A-rank at the boss. Unusually, the Type 2 Ka-Mi Tank grants 22 TP points on an S-rank at the boss, far more than it has provided in previous TP maps. Key points: The primary threat posed prior to the boss on this map are the two air raid nodes and node J, the penultimate node. Both nodes H and J can be cleared consistently through the use of the vanguard formation Ships that turn back after node I (i.e. those ships retreating at node J) will still count as having successfully offloaded their cargo, and will contribute towards the TP bar. The TP phase boss consists of the Light Cruiser Princess with a CVL (2 on hard), and most other ships being CAs, CLs, and DDs. The upshot being that as only an A-rank is required to -deplete the TP bar, the enemy flagship does not necessarily have to be sunk, even on the final form. As such, killing enough of the escort fleet to allow the night battle to be against the the main enemy force is usually enough to secure the 4 kills needed to deplete the bar. AP/AS at node D LBAS sorties with 4 fighters apiece can be used to decrease the air power requirement at node D prior to the air battle. Akitsumaru makes achieving AP/AS here a trivial issue following fighter sweeps; however, in the absence of Akitsumaru, Seaplane fighters will be required. Medium difficulty requires 326 for AP, which should be reduced by the aforementioned fighter sorties. Air Superiority on a Raid The simplest way to achieve this is to utilize 3 interceptors and a saiun at both available bases, set to defense. A single submarine may be sortied to trigger the raid. Note that only Air Superiority is required, not a perfect defense. HP Bar Phase - CA Princess This phase does not allow the use of AVs or Akitsumaru (which will start the fleet at the first phase start point) on any difficulty, as such, your primary source of air support will come in the form of LBAS, and if you choose to employ them, CAVs. Given the post-cap firepower buffs received by historical members, however, this map is very doable even without any fighter power in the fleet itself. If you are not utilizing any fighter power, then utility equips may replace the recon planes as LoS requirements permit. This guide has been written in the context of hard mode, differences will be mentioned where possible. The best routing in this map is achieved through the use of 2CA(V) CL 4DD, with most other compositions offrouting, starting at the wrong start point, not being allowed to enter the map, or simply being inferior (e.g. bringing a DE) 4DDs should first be selected to prevent an offroute to R node, this applies to all difficulties. Ideally, Kasumi, Hatsuharu, Hatsushimo, and Ushio can all be used here. One of these four DDs may be replaced by an Akizuki-class for AACI. Nachi and Ashigara should be the two cruisers chosen for this map on account of their post-cap bonuses. Either one of them may be substituted for a CAV if desired. Abukuma would be the ideal CL for this map if available, Yura is also strong here. This phase comprises a single airstrike node and two surface nodes prior to the boss node. As with the first phase of this map, vanguard formation may be utilized to make it through the surface nodes, with the FCF utilized where taihas occur. Importantly, the pre-boss node possesses a submarine on some forms, which will draw fire from at least five of your ships. Sonars may be used as needed, or LBAS may include a single ASW bomber, with Double Line being another possible option (when support shelling is used), in most cases, however, vanguard formation should suffice. The boss of this map is Heavy Cruiser Princess. Obtaining AS here is not likely, nonetheless, this boss is fairly easy to kill due to the combination of LBAS and the post-cap bonuses of most ships. TCIs for this boss are not required due to the previously-covered post-cap firepower bonuses. As with other maps, pre-boss support, boss support, and sparkling should be used as required. Do remember that the use of vanguard formation will affect the efficacy of your support shelling. Recommended LBAS 4 Fighters f or node N or.. 3 Bombers 1 ASW Bomber for node P Combat radii of 4 and 5 are required for nodes N and P respectively. Node N is an airstrike risk, while node P can be somewhat annoying with its submarine. This LBAS base is mostly flexible and can be used as seen fit. 1 Fighter 3 Bombers - For Boss Node A combat radius of 6 is required for the boss node. A fighter should be added only if doing so would improve your air state.

Tips Tagging Rules Untagged Ships that partake in E-6 will be given the Shima Fleet Tag Shima Fleet Tagged Members will begin from Starting Point 1. Mixed tags on Easy and Very Easy difficulty will begin from Starting Point 1. Kurita Fleet Tagged Members will begin from Starting Point 2. If you need to add in additional Kurita Fleet Tagged Ships to use for the Phase 2 of the operation, you will need to sortie them to E-2 or E-4 first so they can tagged with the Kurita Fleet Tag. E6 Objectives E6 contains mutiple objectives that need to be comlpleted depending of the difficulty level. Objectives will be listed in order of difficulties. Phase 1 Objectives - Shima Striking Force Defeat boss gauge at Node U, Seaplane Tender Princess (all difficulties) …and Reach Node I (Easy) …and S-rank I and reach node K (Med) …and A-Rank K (Hard) Phase 2 Objectives - Kurita Striking Force Defeat boss gauge at node V, Battleship Princess Kai (all) …And obtain AS against an LBAS raid (1 on Med, 3 on Hard) Phase 3 Objectives - Shima Striking Force Sink Aircraft Carrier Water Demon Required Ships Phase 1: 2DDs mandatory, fast fleet mandatory Phase 2: 2DDs mandatory Phase 3: 2DDs mandatory, fast fleet mandatory Phase 1 - AV Hime 2DD Mandatory, Fast mandatory. AV Hime will require the use of the Shima fleet (Purple). This phase is relatively straightforward. Attaining AS here is completely impractical (504 FP) if not impossible, as it would require the sacrifice of Nachi and Ashigara, removing bombers from LBAS for fighters, and more. Key Pointers: Nachi and Ashigara are highly recommended for their post-cap firepower bonuses, as are most historical ships. The Littorio-Class are also excellent here for their ability to attain AS (they are capable of carrying Seaplane Fighters) when unopposed A submarine may be utilized to divert fire, however, as a fast fleet is a requirement, a boiler+turbine combination is mandatory The SS may be retreated without consequence. As sparkling a submarine is extremely cheap and submarines benefit greatly proportionately from the extra evasion when sparkled, it is highly recommended that you sparkle the SSV. This can be done extremely cheaply at E5 The final composition of the fleet would therefore look along the lines of: SSV 2FBB 2CA 3DD ASW bombers may be sent to node H to increase the consistency of reaching the boss node Node O checks for 2DD, an FCF may therefore be used prior to or at node O if you would still have at least 2DDs remaining The boss node of E6 Phase 1 contains AV hime, due to the historical bonuses and the presence of the friend fleet, finishing this phase should be relatively simple and is mostly a matter of time and resources given proper setups. Phase 2 - BB Hime Kai BB Hime requires the use of the Kurita fleet (Green), this phase is arguably the hardest of the three due to the extreme durability of the boss. One CAV should be used to provide AP/AS (3-4 Seaplane fighters) at the boss. Node V - BB Hime Kai BB Hime Kai represents most of the challenge in clearing E6; this is largely due to two factors, her extreme durability, and the lack of a friend fleet. Most nodes prior to the boss are relatively straightforward, but should not by any means be underestimated: The presence of Nu CAs and Ri Kais are still significant threats and can force retreats. At most, it may be possible to utilize one LBAS to assist with problem nodes The Boss: BB Hime Kai almost necessitates the use of LBAS support on her. At least two and possibly all three bases should committed on her. Barring final form on hard mode, this boss has absolutely no air power, fighters are completely unnecessary. Saiuns and FCFs should not the first things dropped for final form to maximize kill rates. This is a prime area for using TCIs Do not neglect the flagship cut-in rate bonus. On ships without luck modifications (e.g. Naganami K2), the use of skilled lookouts is worth consideration/ Ideally, the CA used should be TCI capable, Myoukou in particular comes with a high base luck good night battle power. Luckmodded Choukai or Maya would be ideal for this map. TCIs on a CLT, however, is still not recommended, they may, however, be moved further up the shelling order, ahead of a capped TCI ship. Given the high difficulty of this boss, boss support expeditions are extremely highly recommended. Sparkling remains optional, but should be considered if problems persist Phase 3 - CV Water Demon Key Pointers As with Phase 1, the FCF should only be used at (or prior to) node O if your fleet would have at least 2DDs after withdrawing one Show/Hide Nodes and Enemy Encounters Nodes and Enemy Encounters Node Pattern Xp Node Info Form Air A Pattern 1 "Must be my imagination" (battle avoided) B

Tips Tagging Rules This Maps has no tagging rules and any members can be used for this map On Normal and Hard Difficulty only the Vangaurd Force will be restricted from being used on this map. Historical Fleet Bonus Notes On E-7, ships that are tied to the Kurita, Suzuki, Nishimura, Shima and Ozawa Fleet will all recive historical bonuses which will allow them to do more damage against the boss fleets. (Please Read Historical Background for more details) Due to this, it's highly recommended to bring your strongest members that are tied to the historical fleets to get the performance out of them. E7 is divided into distinct phases that must be completed in order. Unlock 1st Boss Node. Defeat Battleship Water Demon Kai using a STF. Unlock the shortcut routes. Obtain the historical bonus. Note: Can only be done on Normal and Hard mode. Defeat Abyssal Crane Princess. Unlocking the path to the Battleship Water Demon Kai Preferred Composition: Main Fleet: 4 CV(B) / 2 (F)BB Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2 DD / 0-1 CLT / 1-2 CA / 0-1 CVL Key Note: In order unlock the path to the Battleship Water Demon Kai the following conditions must be met A rank node Q using a Fast CTF (All Difficulties) Obtain AS on Land Base air raids 0/1/2/2 times. While making your path to Node Q you will be facing off against 2 Air Battles, 2 Surface Battles before reaching Node Q. It's advised to bring a CL or DD with preemptive ASW to mode D to deal with the Submarine that will appear in the mixed fleet. Node C and I are Air Attack nodes, strong Air defense is recommended Node M featuring Light Carrier Nu-Class Elite variants or Aircraft Carrier Princesses depending on the difficulty. Node Q is a combined fleet node that has Light Carrier Nu-Class Elite variants or Aircraft Carrier Princesses depending on the difficulty. Preferred LBAS Node Q 3 LBAS LBAS 1: 2 Fighter, 1 Torpedo / Land Based Bombers, 1 Flying Boat - Distance 9 needed LBAS 2-3: 1 Fighter, 2 Torpedo / Land Based Bombers, 1 Flying Boat - Distance 9 needed If you wish to bring an LBAS here with fighters, you'll need to have a Type 2 Flying Boat to reach the required distance. With the air strength and bombers, it should make possible to score an A rank on Node Q without issue. Defending the Base 2-3 LBAS LBAS 1-3: 3 Fighter/Interceptor, 1 Saiun (Air Defense) One Easy and higher difficulties, you'll need to protect your land base from Air raids against your base. Bring enough interceptors and fighters to gain AS 1-2 times. Once the conditions are met the path to the Battleship Water Demon Kai will be unlocked. Sinking Battleship Water Demon Kai Preferred Composition: Fast STF composition Main Fleet: 4 (F)BB / 1 CV(B) / 1 CAV Alt. Main Fleet: 4 (F)BB / 2 CVL[1] Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2 DD / 1-2 CA / 0-1 CLT / 0-1 CVL / 0-1 AO[2] [1]An alternative main fleet composition that does not utilize a Seaplane Fighter (SPF) CAV mule. This composition is not recommended in harder difficulties due to lacking surviability in the pre-boss nodes. [2]AO should only be considered for Last Dance on Medium / Hard Difficulty, all other difficulties can be usually done without using an AO. In this segment, your fleet will need to go through a series of battles against carriers, subs and other various ships while dealing with not having AS over the majority of the battles. It's highly recommended to bring strong historical ships for this segments as the fight against the boss in this phase is very high in armor. For your CV(B), use Zuikaku and arm her with the best possible fighters along with 1 Torpedo Bomber Your CAV should be equipped with SPF to improve your air power. Node N will feature a New Submarine Princess along with Submarine So-Class in the mix. It's strongly advised to bring an ASW LBAS to this node, especially on Medium and Hard difficulty. Node T will have 1-2 Aircraft Carrier Princess along with Nu-class Carriers, bring enough air power for air parity (AP) to prevent the enemy from being able to use Artillery spotting and CV Cut-Ins. Node V - Battleship Water Demon Kai In this boss battle, the Battleship Water Demon Kai will be a strong and powerful opponent as she has high armor making her difficult to beat. If you are playing on Medium and Hard difficulty, bringing LBAS to the boss is HIGHLY REQUIRED to have a chance at defeating the boss. However, due to the range requirements this map needs to reach the boss please consider following: Akitsushima can be farmed in E-2 Node Y from S ranks. If you lack in any Type 2 Flying Boat for this segment, consider challenging this part on Casual or Easy Difficulty If you have 1-3 Type 2 Flying Boat for this segment, consider challenging the part on Medium and Hard Difficulty The Distance needed to reach the boss node is 11 meaning only Land Base Bombers and a Type 2 Flying Boat are capable of reaching the boss node. Using the combination of Historical Ships, along with a Boss Support Fleet, LBAS, and Friend Fleet you will need to deliver a strong of a blow as you can against the Hime during the entire course of the battle. Consider leaving the Friend Fleet 10th Battle Divsion comprising of Yahagi, Isokaze, Hamakaze, Urakaze and Yukikaze open to appear. They have a high rate of being chosen over the Destroyer Division 19 Friend Fleet. All historical ships are given a 1.15x historical bonus during this battle. Ships such as Musashi, Yamato, Kongou, Haruna, and Zuikaku make good units to use for the Day Battle Segment Ships such as Myoukou, Yukikaze, Kasumi, Abukuma, and Shigure have high base luck or are highly effective with a torpedo cut-in setup. Carrier Night Battle equipment such as the Night Deck Personel and Night planes like the F6F-3N, F6F-5N and TBM-3D can make Zuihou Kai Ni or Zuihou Kai Ni B a valuable asset to use in the escort fleet as she can hit night battle cap easily and has a historical bonus. When you reach the final kill, the Battleship Water Demon Kai will get a larger boost in her armor (up to 305 on Hard) along with a stronger fleet composition(can have up to 2 Battleship Princess on Hard) resulting in your fleet having to depend on crits and low armor rolls to deal suitable damage to her. Modifying Equipment is vital to help improve your chances of succeeding against the boss. As a last resort option, bringing in an AO such as Hayasui or Kamoi for the final kill can help turn the tied of the battle. Since your fleet will arrive at the boss node with 30% fuel and 40% ammo using Maritime Resupply can help reduce the ammo and fuel penalty your fleet would otherwise receive without it. Using 1 Maritime Resupply can completely remove the ammo penalty altogether. Once you have successfully defeated the Battleship Water Demon Kai the path to the Abyssal Crane Princess will open. Suggested LBAS Node N 1 LBAS LBAS 1: 3 Toukai - Distance 8 needed LBAS 1: 3 ASW Planes, 1 Type 2 Flying Boat - (For those who don't have Toukai) Distance 8 needed Since Node N has a powerful set of submarines, using an ASW LBAS is Highly Recommended to take out as many of the submarines as possible leaving only the New Submarine Princess left to deal with. Node V 2 LBAS LBAS 2: 3 Land Base Bombers , 1 Type 2 Flying Boat - Distance 11 needed The air power requirement for air denial (AD) on this node is low enough that a base with 3 LBAA can achieve this. It is highly recommended that you aim to achieve this if possible. Ensure that your base(s) are configured optimally and in the correct order to take advantage of phase 1 shot downs of previous LBAS waves. Unlocking the shortcuts Unlocking the shortcut path needed to make a path from B to D and K to H will require you to completion one of the following conditions depending on the difficulty: Very Easy - Reach/Defeat node D. Easy - Reach/Defeat node D. A rank node H. Medium - Reach/Defeat node D. A rank node H. Hard - S rank nodes G and H. Obtain AS at node I. Node D Preferred Composition: Main Fleet: 4 CV(B) / 2 (F)BB Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2 DD / 0-1 CLT / 1-2 CA / 0-1 CVL For Casual to Medium Mode completing Node D's requirement should be easy to do as all you need is a set of strong carriers and a ship or 2 with ASW capabilities to take care of the submarine that will in the fleet. Node H Preferred Composition: Fast STF composition Main Fleet: 4 (F)BB / 1 CV(B) / 1 CAV Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2-4 DD / 1 CA / 0-1 CLT / 0-1 CVL (ASW focused) For Easy to Hard you will need to have a escrot fleet of ASW capable ships travel through several waves of carrier battles till they reach node H which will be a submarine node with a New Submarine Princess and some Submarine So-Class. Bringing an LBAS of ASW bombing planes is recommended especially on higher difficulties to successfully complete the node's requirements. If you are unable to successfully defeat all the subs needed for the requirement you can still kill the submarines in night battle due to the combine fleet's mechanics. Suggested LBAS Node H 1 LBAS LBAS 1: 3 Toukai, 1 ASW Bomber Plane - Distance 4 needed LBAS 1: 4 ASW Planes - Distance of 4 needed Node G Preffered Composition: Slow CTF composition Main Fleet: 4 CV(B) / 2 (F)BB Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2 DD / 0-1 CLT / 1-2 CA / 0-1 CVL For Hard Mode, Node G contains a surface fleet of cruisers and destroyers. The fight should be winnable without needing LBAS. Node I Preffered Composition: Fast CTF composition Main Fleet: 4 CV(B) / 2 (F)BB Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2 DD / 0-1 CLT / 1-2 CA / 0-1 CVL For Hard Mode, Node I is an air attack node where you'll face a strong Air powered fleet. Bring an LBAS or 2 full of fighters if you need additional air power support to secure AS on this node If you survived node G without anyone taking any heavy damage from that node you can try using your fleet from there to complete this requirement at the same time. Once the conditions are complete, the shortcut paths will become available. Obtain the historical bonus (Medium and Hard Mode Only) Note:If you are playing Casual and Easy, disregard this section all together and proceed to "Sinking the Abyssal Crane Princess". In Medium and Hard Difficulty it is possible to boost your fleet's historical damaged beyond the 1.2x by completing the following requirements: S rank nodes M and W using STF. A rank node Q. Node Q Preffered Composition: Slow STF composition Main Fleet: 4 (F)BB / 1 CV(B) / 1 CAV Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2 DD / 1 FBB / 0-1 CA / 0-1 CLT / 0-1 CVL A slow STF containing 5 (F)BB(V) will routes to node Q. Use an ASW focused LBAS on Node A to help reduce the number of Submarine So-Class. Using your LBAS at Node Q can help you with securing an A rank that is needed for the requirements. Suggested LBAS Node A 1 LBAS LBAS 1: 3 Toukai / ASW TB, 1 Type 2 Flying Boat /Carrier Recon - Distance 2 needed Node Q 2 LBAS LBAS 1: 2 Fighter, 1 Torpedo / Land Based Bombers, 1 Flying Boat - Distance 9 needed LBAS 2-3: 1 Fighter, 2 Torpedo / Land Based Bombers, 1 Flying Boat - Distance 9 needed Though you may not reach AS on this node, being able to prevent air denial (AD) can help make it more possible to secure an A rank here. Node M and Node W Preffered Composition: Fast STF composition Main Fleet: 4 (F)BB / 1 CV(B) / 1 CAV Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2 DD / 1 FBB / 1 CA / 0-1 CLT / 0-1 CVL Node M and W are along the path required for this fleet will travel Trying to score an S rank on Node M will require some effort, send at least 2 LBAS to Node M while sending an ASW LBAS to Node H. Node W simple requires you to reach the node with a Surface Fleet. By the time you reach Node W you will have no fuel or ammo left. So fighting there will result in most if not all of your ship getting heavily damaged. Suggested LBAS Node M 2 LBAS LBAS 1: 2 Fighter, 2 Torpedo / Land Based Bombers - Distance 5 needed LBAS 2: 1 Fighter, 3 Torpedo / Land Based Bombers - Distance 5 needed Node H 1 LBAS LBAS 1: 3 Toukai / ASW TB, Type 2 Flying Boat/Carrier Recon - Distance 4 needed LBAS 1: 4 ASW Planes - Distance of 4 needed Once the condition are met, a quest complete sound will be heard upon returning to base. Upon completing the Conditions, the following changes will happen: All Kurita, Shima, Nishimura and Ozawa Fleet Members will get a 1.6x historical bonus Musashi, Zuikaku and Zuihou will get a 1.8x historical bonus Shoukaku will get a 2.4x historical bonus Sinking the Abyssal Crane Princess Recommended Composition: Abyssal Crane Princess Fast CTF composition Main Fleet: 4 CV(B) / 2 (F)BB Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2 DD / 0-1 CLT / 1-2 CA / 0-1 CVL Depending on the difficulty, the final phase of the event will either require extensive effort or can be simple. The way you'll need to tackle the boss will be similar but can consist of some differences. During this Phase your escort fleet will generally be in the most dangerous especially in Node W. As like in the other phases an ASW capable ship can still helpful especially one that can pre-emptive ASW like in higher difficulties to take out the Submarine So-Class In route Support is recommended in higher difficulties to make tougher nodes like Nodes D and W passable. Once you made it to the boss node, depending on the difficulty, the following things should be considered: Abyssal Crane Princess on Medium and Hard Mode With the debuff method complete on Medium and Hard mode, the Abyssal Crane Princess will become significantly weaker against historical ships. However, in order to make the win far more successful, you will need to not only bring the proper kanmusu for the job but also efficiently rig the Friend Fleets to get some of the best possible benefits. Below here are a few important points regarding ships to consider for Medium and Hard Mode Difficulty: Shoukaku, Zuikaku, Zuihou, and Musashi are very vital when the debuff is triggered as they can do far more damage compared to anyone else in the entire fleet. Kaga while not a historical ship still has an important role due to her large plane capacity which allows her to carry a large fighter power. She will be doing a fighter mule role in this event segment to help your fleet get closer to gaining air superiority. Due to their historical buff Shoukaku and Zuikaku should be armed to perform CV cut-ins. Taihou can be a small time damage dealer on this map as she's the only CVB that doesn't interfere with certain Friend Fleet arrangements. Torpedo Cut in ships such as Yukikaze and Shigure are good here not just for their historical damage, but to also prevent certain unnecessary Friend Fleets from appearing. If you have a luck modded Choukai or Maya you can use them to help torpedo cut-in along with the other ships in a night battle. Zuihou's Kai 2 B will have a vital role in helping deliver the kill against the boss if you have the night battle planes and gear to set her up to launch an attack against the boss at night. If you are lacking in night planes, you will likely be depending more on Torpedo Cut-Ins to help win the battle. Avoid bringing in Yamato, Nagato, Myoukou, Haguro, Naganami and Hatsushimo in your fleet as they are needed to trigger the Kurita main Friend Fleet which is vital to scoring a victory in the fight during the night battle. Yamato's Kurita Friend Fleet will also be given the historical bonus allows them to also efficiently damage or even kill tougher targets such as Hime types. This becomes more apparent in Hard mode as the final kill will pit you against the main fleet consisting of nothing but Aircraft Carrier Princess and Battleship Princess. The International Friend Fleet can also be used but is less effective overall against the Abyssal Crane Princess's Fleet due to the random nature of coming with 3-7 ships and having not as effective equipment setups. It is possible to lock them out by using ships like Iowa and Saratoga in your fleet, but in return, you will also be crippling your main fleet's power by bringing in additional non-historical ships. Fleet Oilers like Hayasui and Kamoi will be helpful on the final kill on Hard mode by bringing Maritime Resupply to help your fleet reach it's best to combat potential. When your fleet reaches the boss node, they will have only 35% fuel and ammo Using 1 Maritime Resupply should remove the ammo penalties from your fleet altogether and 2 will reduce the fuel penalty further to dodge more efficiently. If you have a strong enough LBAS set up to help easily secure air superiority along with your fleet's air power. It may become possible to bring in a Saiun to prevent T-Disadvantage to make killing the boss fleet more possible. Boss Support Fleet is Highly recommended Abyssal Crane Princess on Casual and Easy Mode On this difficulty, you will be lacking the full-scale debuff effect as there is no way to trigger this feature on casual and easy mode. Expect to be putting more effort into your fleet's own strength however even without the debuff, historical ships are still important. Most of the Key points from Medium and Hard mode apply to here as well. Even though Shoukaku, Zuikaku, Zuihou, and Musashi will not have the big historical bonus, they will still be your big hitters in this battle. Kitakami and Ooi have a more important role in this difficulty as the boss should be weaker and having them equipped with double attacks to do consistant cap damage can help weaken the boss for your torpedo cut-in members to score an easier kill. Easy mode may be somewhat difficulty to complete even with a proper set up so if possible avoid going down to this difficulty and if you are playing on this difficulty and are still having trouble, consider dropping to Casual. Preffered LBAS Node X 3 LBAS LBAS 1: 3 Fighters (Range 6), 1 Type 2 Flying Boat LBAS 2 (Pre-Last Kill): 2 Fighters (Range 6), 1 Land Base Bomber, 1 Type 2 Flying Boat LBAS 2-3 (Pre/Last Kill): 1 Fighters (Range 6), 2 Land Base Bomber, 1 Type 2 Flying Boat To bring any fighters to help lower the air power at the boss node, you're going to need a fighter plane with a range of 6 or greater. Hayabusa and Type 52 Fighters should be able to reach this with the assistance of a Type 2 Flying Boat. Since the boss contains a lot of air power, you want your first set of LBAS planes to clean out as many of the planes as you can while having the remaining bases bring fighters and bombers to wipe out what ships they can. During the Final Kill, the air power requirement is lower so it is possible to use fewer fighters and more bombers to the boss node. Once the boss is successfully defeated, the event is considered complete. What to do if you don't have a Type 2 Flying Boat? Without a Type 2 Flying Boat you fleet will have a very difficult time securing the win at the boss node. Since the boss has a huge amount of air power. If you are challening a harder difficulty you will find score the win quite difficult. If possible seek out Akitsushima from E-2 if you can and train her to get her Flying Boat. Otherwise the main options are to either lower the difficulty or try to use your LBAS in different methods: Node M 1 LBAS LBAS : 4 Fighters / Land Base Fighters (Range 6 Needed) A fighter sweep over this node can help reduce the total number of abyssal bombers that will target your fleet in the opening phase. You may potentially disable the carriers in this node by deplaning them with Fleet AA and AACI. Node W 1 LBAS LBAS : 4 Land Based Bombers (Range 7 Needed) This node features a surface fleet that can often present trouble to the escort fleet since they can occasionally appear in Line ahead or Vanguard Formation. Using and LBAS to clear some if not most of the enemy ships out can help here. Node X 1 LBAS LBAS : 4 Land Based Bombers (Range 9 Needed) Unlike the other LBAS method used on the boss, this method is more of a Last Resort measure to try wiping out some of the enemies in the boss node. Since if you're lacking in a flying boat, this will be the only way you can bring anything to the boss and killing some ship may be possible, but it will also likely result in your losing a large amount of planes and possibly lose your Land Base Bomber's rank in the process. Only consider this option if you have no other means of bringing fighters to the boss node.

Tsukiyomi Ver. 2 Lyrics

The second part is nearly but not quite identical to the original Tsukiyomi.

Audio	Japanese	Romaji	English
Play	もし今 明かりが消え、向かい風に沈んでも。 見上げた月の空、幾星霜輝いて。 この夜も、この星も、きっと巡りゆく。 あの冬の夜、私そう願ってた。 だけど全ては　消えてゆくのね。 それでも、月はそこにあるの。そうよ。 あなたと歩んだ季節いつでも胸で光ってる。 走ったね、転んだね、一緒にね、恋のように叫んだね。 私たち心の桜まだ見ぬ春芽吹くから。 笑ったね、泣いたよね、君がいた色々な奇跡。 あなたと目指した優しい未来きっと信じてる。 宵の中、夏の夜、 時が満ち　全て消えてゆく前に。 夜風散る　花の中で あなたと月を見上げてる。 笑ったね　泣いたよね　大切な大切な記憶。 忘れない　忘れない　ずっと。	Moshi ima akari ga kie, mukaikaze ni shizun demo, miageta tsuki no sora, ikuseisou kagayaite. "Kono yoru mo, kono hoshi mo, kitto meguri yuku." Ano fuyu no yoru watashi sou negatteta. Dakedo subete wa, kiete yuku no ne. Soredemo, tsuki wa soko ni aru no. Sou yo. Anata to ayunda kisetsu itsu demo mune de hikatteru. Hashitta ne, koronda ne, issho ni ne, koi no you ni sakenda ne. Watashitachi kokoro no sakura mada minu haru mebuku kara. Waratta ne, naita yo ne, kimi ga ita, iroiro na kiseki. Anata to mezashita yasashii mirai kitto shinjiteru. Yoi no uchi, natsu no yoru, toki ga michi subete kieyuku mae ni, yokaze chiru hana no naka de anata to tsuki o miageteru. Waratta ne, naita yo ne, taisetsuna taisetsuna kioku. Wasurenai, wasurenai, zutto.	Even if the light fades and we succumb to the headwinds, the moonlit sky we admired will shine on and on. "This night, this world, they'll keep spinning." That's what I wished for that winter night. But all things fade away, don't they? Even so, the moon will be there. That's right. The seasons I walked with you still glow in my heart. We ran, we fell, we called out together as if in love, didn't we? There are still unseen springs for the cherry blossoms in our hearts to bloom in. We laughed, we cried - there were so many miracles with you there. I'll always believe in the gentle future I aimed for with you. In the early evenings, in the summer nights, before the time comes and everything fades away, as the night wind scatters the petals around us, I'll admire the moon with you. We laughed, we cried - so many precious memories. I'll never, ever forget them.
