Guide

E-5 is not a particularly difficult map, but it is fairly tedious. In total, you need at least 2 CVL, 1CL (ideally Jintsuu), 5DD (ideally bonus DDs, see below), 0-2 SS(V), and 1 CAV/AV (preferably Fast or with RE), plus access to decent interceptors (including jets, depending on difficulty) in order to clear the map. All BB types and CV(B)s are not allowed on this map.

Also note that there are several LoS checks on this map: Nodes C, F, J, Q, T (possibly), and Z4. Generally, 12+ LoS Cn1 should suffice for all nodes, although the requirement may be lower for fleets with <6 ships.

Introduction

This map consists of multiple phases:

1. Unlocking the Boss Node
2. Chipping & Defeating the Boss
3. Unlocking the TP Phase Nodes
4. Depleting the TP Bar
