Tips

This is an anti-submarine operation, where the use of ships capable of OASW is highly recommended.
Node G however, is a surface battle against an enemy torpedo squadron.
Use of Light/Torpedo Cruisers and Destroyers capable of using OASW, either from reaching high enough ASW stat or from having built-in OASW capabilities is highly recommended.
Use of DE is an option as well, but due to their poor firepower and defensive stats, they may have trouble surviving Node G.
Using 6 ships will cause fleets to route to Node B.

Recommended Fleets

1CL, 4DD or 1CL, 1DD, 3DE (exactly 5 ships, no more)
- Route (fixed) = D E G H K
- Use of a Light Cruiser capable of opening attacks against surface ships is an option for Node G.
  - Opening Torpedo Salvo.
  - Opening airstrike via Seaplane Bombers.
- Bringing Destroyers capable of OASW is highly advised.
  - If the ASW stat is high enough to reach OASW without three equipment, or if the ship has built-in OASW capability, mixing surface combat equipment and ASW equipment together can help stabilize the surface battle at Node G.

Fleets that have only 4 ships :

e.g 3CLT, 1CL / 2CL, 2CLT / 4DD/DE, etc...)
Can also reach the Boss Node, but have a chance to off-route into dead-ends instead (I or J).
Do not bring AO as you will be directed to node I instead of the boss node.

Resource Nodes

E I are "Normal Resource Nodes" rewarding both fuel .

Tips

Once the map has been cleared for the month, the enemy composition for the second boss (Node M) will be locked to the easiest comp (Formation 1), which contains Nu-class elite, Ne-class base, and Tsu-class base, until the next reset.

Phase 1: Eliminate the Submarine Fleet

The submarine boss fleet will usually consist of 3 SS, 1 Transport, and 2 DDs.
- Defeat the flagship of the submarine fleet 3 times to open up the path to the 2nd phase of the map (A ranks can be enough).

Recommended Fleet

1CVL (preferably CVE), 3DD
1CL, 3DD
2CVL, 3DE
4DD/DE
Route = C E G
- Fleet will need to be ASW-focused, however, if requiring S ranks (3 "S ranks" are required for Bq8), using 1-2 ships with ASW/combat hybrid set-ups can be helpful.
  - Having 1 or more OASW ships is recomanded.
- If having Suzuya Kou Kai Ni or Kumano Kou Kai Ni, their unique targeting ability may be useful as well (focusing surface ships instead of SS).

Phase 2: Eliminate the Carrier Fleet

Boss Fleet consists of a Wo Flagship Kai along with a Nu-class Elite, Flagship or Flagship Kai variant, a Ne-class elite CA, a Tsu-class, and some DDs.

Carefully managing the fleet's air power with strong planes can help either achieve AS or AP.
- Using an AACI DD might be helpful for minimizing possible damage taken.
Defeat the flagship of the Carrier fleet 4 times to complete the map.

Recommended Fleet

1FBB, 1CV, 1CVL, 1CAV, 2DD (fast)

Route = B C D I M
- Having a slow fleet will add an extra battle on Node H.
- Most battles will involve surface fleets including DD, CL, and some CA.
  - Having some ASW capability can help on node C.
- Using an FBB can make getting up to the boss node relatively easier, but the fleet will need to be all fast to reach the boss node.
- LoS required: ≥ 69 (Cn4)

Historical Routing

World 7/Historical Ships

Tips

This map featured historical routings for use Kamikaze, Haguro, Ashigara.

Kamikaze is the key historical ship for this map and required in order to avoid node M which features CA Ri-Class that can potentially harm "lighter ships".
- She can be dropped on this map to get better routings later.
The number of historical ships being presented in the fleet heavily affects the routing taken. Increasing the speed of the fleet to Fast+ or more can help reduce the number of historical ships required to go the shortest route (See below).

Phase 1

This is a light fleet phase where the boss is a fleet of 5 enemy destroyers. The boss in this phase is DD Ro-Class Late Model, who will turn into Late Model Elite form in the Final Kill (reverted to Late Model form again once this phase is cleared).

Recommended Fleet

Haguro, 3DD
- Route = A C E
- Not having Haguro may add extra nodes.
Haguro, Kamikaze, 2DD/CL(T)/CA(V)/AV
- Route = A C E
- Having Kamikaze in addition to Haguro permits heavier ships to replace the other DDs.
- Some compositions may go A C D E. More data is needed.

Phase 2

This phase requires to kill a much heavier enemy fleet than Phase 1 featuring CA Ne-Class Elite as the boss. In the final kill, the boss comp will feature 6 enemies in total, and will revert back to 5-enemy comp once the map is cleared.
It is possible to clear this phase by either using a fleet of 5 ships or 6 ships depending on what the player wants.
All the compositions suggested below requires at least Fast fleet

Kamikaze, Ashigara, Haguro, 1CL(T)/AV, 2DD (Fast, By5 composition)
Haguro, Kamikaze, 1CA(V), 1CLT/CT/AV, 2DD (Fast+)
- Route = A C D G P

-

Kamikaze, Ashigara, Haguro, 1CA(V), 1DD (5 Ships)
Haguro, Kamikaze, 1CA(V)/CLT/AV, 3DD (Fast+)
- Route = A C I J P

-

Haguro, Ashigara, Kamikaze, 1AV, 1CL(T), 1DD
Haguro, Ashigara, 1CA(V), 3DD (Fast)
- Route = A C D G J P
- The first comp is the strongest fleet possible, which helps to minimize bucket usage due to extra opening shots and fewer DDs required.
- The second comp is for fleets that are missing Kamikaze while avoiding an ammo penalty at the boss.

-

Haguro, Ashigara, 3DD, 1CLT/AV
- Route = A C D G I M P
- Not recommended as there is an ammo penalty at the boss node. Only use this comp if not having Kamikaze.

1CA(V), 1CA, 1CL, 3DD (Fast+)
- Route = A C I L M P

-

1CA(V), 1CA, 1CL, 3DD (Fastest)
- Route = A C I J P

Tips

Clearing this map is required in order to open World 4-2.
To clear this map, the boss Submarine So-Class Flagship must be sunk three times.
- This is an anti-submarine operation, where use of ships capable of using opening ASW attacks (OASW) is highly recommended.
- Node G however, is a surface battle against an enemy torpedo squadron
- Use of Light/Torpedo Cruisers and Destroyers capable of using opening ASW attacks either from being able to reach 100 Icon ASW stat or having built-in OASW capabilities (e.g. Isuzu Kai Ni) is highly recommended.
- Use of DE is an option as well, but due to their poor firepower and defensive stats, they may have trouble surviving Node G.
- Using 6 ships will cause fleets to route to Node B.

Recommended Fleet

1CL 4DD (exactly 5 ships, no more)
- Fixed routing towards the boss, routes DEGHK
- Use of a Light Cruiser capable of opening attacks against surface ships is an option for Node G .
  - Opening torpedo attack (Abukuma Kai Ni or Yura Kai Ni)
  - Opening airstrike via Seaplane Seaplane Bombers (e.g. Remodeled Agano-class)
- Bringing Destroyers capable of OASW is highly advised (100 ASW stat or built-in capability).
  - If ASW stat is high enough to reach OASW without three equipments, or if the ship has built-in OASW capability, mixing surface combat equipment and ASW equipment together can help stabilize the surface battle at Node G.
Fleet that has only 4 ships : (e.g 3 CLT 1 CL / 2 CL 2 CLT, etc...)
- Can also reach the Boss Node, but have a chance to off-route into dead-end instead.
- Do not bring AO as you will be directed to node I instead of the boss node.

Tips

This map will consist of 2 phases:
- Part 1: Submarine Boss (Node G), 3 kills to clear.
  - Part 1 must be cleared before Part 2 of the map (every node linked to Node D) can be unlocked.
- Part 2: Carrier Boss (Node M), 4 kills to clear.
This map will reset at the end of each month, locking out Part 2 and resetting both boss HP bars.
- Once the map has been cleared for the month, the enemy composition for the second boss (Node M) will be locked to the easiest comp (Formation 1), which contains Nu-class elite, Ne-class base and Tsu-class base, until the next reset.

Part 1: Eliminate the Submarine Fleet

The submarine boss fleet will usually consist of 3 subs, a Transport, and 2 DDs.
- Defeat the flagship of the submarine fleet 3 times to open up the path to the 2nd part of the map.
Recommended Fleet
- 1 CVL (Preferable CVE [ASW CVL]) 3 DD / 1 CL 3 DD / 2 CVL 3 DE routes CEG
  - Fleet will need to be ASW-focused, however if you require S ranks (3 x S ranks are required for Bq8), using 1-2 ships with ASW/combat hybrid set-ups can be helpful.
  - If you have Suzuya or Kumano in their CVL forms, their unique ability may be useful as well. (They prioritise attacking surface units over submarines, unlike other CVLs.)

Part 2: Eliminate the Carrier Fleet

Boss Fleet consists of a Wo Flagship Kai along with a Nu-class Elite, Flagship or Flagship Kai variant, a Ne-class elite CA, a Tsu-class and some DDs.
- Carefully managing your fleet's air power with strong planes can help either achieve AS or prevent the enemy from achieving AS.
- Using an AACI DD might be helpful for minimizing possible damage taken.
- Defeat the flagship of the Carrier fleet 4 times to complete the map.
Recommended Fleet
- 1 FBB 1 CV 1 CVL 1 CAV 2 DD routes BCDIM
  - Most battles will involve surface fleets where you'll face DD, CL and some CA.
  - Using a FBB can make getting up to the boss node relatively easier, but your fleet will need to be all fast to reach the boss node.

Tips

World 7-3 consists of 2 Phases total
Similar to World 7-2, this map resets at the end of each month and you will have to clear Phase 1 and 2 each month.
Similar to World 5-2, this map featured historical routing if you use Kamikaze, Haguro, Ashigara for Phase 2
- Kamikaze is the key historical ship for this map and required in order to avoid node M which features CA Ri-Class that can potentially harm your light ships. If you don't have her, try to farm for her in this map as soon as possible to get better routing.
- The number of historical ship being presented in the fleet heavily affects the routing you will take in Phase 2. Increasing the speed of the fleet to Fast+ or more can help reduce the number of historical ships required to go the shortest route (See below).

Phase 1

This is a Light Fleet phase where you go and kill a fleet of 5 enemy destroyers. The boss in this phase is DD Ro-Class Late Model, who will turn into Late Model Elite form in the Final Kill (Reverted to Late Model form again once this phase is cleared).

Recommended Fleet

Haguro + 3DD
- Route: A-C-E

Phase 2

This phase requires you to kill a much heavier enemy fleet than Phase 1 featuring CA Ne-Class Elite as the boss. In the final kill, the boss comp will feature 6 enemies in total, and will revert back to 5-enemy comp once the map is cleared.
It is possible to clear this phase by either using a fleet of 5 ships or 6 ships depending on what the player wants.
All the compositions suggested below requires at least Fast fleet

Historical Fleet

Kamikaze + Ashigara + Haguro + AV/CLT 2 DD (BY5 Composition)
Haguro + Kamikaze, 1 CA(V) 1 CL(T)/AV 2 DD (Fast+)
- Route: A-C-D-G-P
Kamikaze + Ashigara + Haguro, 1CA(V) 1 DD (5 Ships)
Haguro + Kamikaze, 1 CA(V)/CLT/AV 3 DD (Fast+)
- Route: A-C-I-J-P
Haguro + Ashigara + Kamikaze, 1 AV 1 CL/CLT 1 DD
- Route: A-C-D-G-J-P
- Strongest comp possible you can bring that helps minimize bucket usage due to extra opening shots and less DDs required.
Haguro + Ashigara + 3DD + 1 CLT/AV
- Route: A-C-D-G-I-M-P
- Not recommended as there is ammo penalty at the boss node. Only use this comp if you don't have Kamikaze

Non-historical fleet

2 CA(V) 1 CL 3 DD (Fast+ fleet / Max 1 CAV)
- Route: A-C-I-L-M-P
1 CL 3 DD 2 CA(V) (Fastest fleet / Max 1 CAV)
- Route: A-C-I-J-P
