Summer 2022 Event/E-6/Sandbox

Sandbox Rules

This sandbox is to be used to construct an event guide for the above-mentioned event map. These guides are to all of the following requirements:

• An overview of the map, including ship/equipment bonuses, Ship Locks, and special mechanics,
• List of branching unlocking requirements (if there are multiple requirements, compositions for each path along with the below requirements will be needed to discuss the unlocking requirements in question),
• A list of working compositions that work: (T=these must have possible alternatives for players who may or may not have all ships needed for a specific path),
  • The Paths said compositions will take (to explain each path the composition will/can take),
  • A summary or description of what kind of obstacles a composition will face.
• A description of the boss node: what it consists of, and a descriptive guide on what the player should consider for a course of action to successfully win the battle,

• Optional: Tips/guides to farm certain ships and/or resources (this can also require compositions, paths, and possible descriptions).

Editors are to construct their own version of the guide/part of the guide, and complete it in a timely fashion.

No editor is allowed to edit over other editors' work without the consent of the editor and his approval to do so.

Several versions will be constructed through this page and will be reviewed and approved by the staff/collaboration committee before being moved for the Summer 2022 Event, being reviewed and updated once more before it can be released.

Overall there should be 3 versions of the guide that have to be constructed, including: Preliminary > Polished > Finalized Guides

With each approval of each version of the guide, the said guide will be updated to the main page, and construction of the next version will begin.

All guides outside of the approved version will be removed and work will begin from the approved version to make it better for the next version until the finalized version is made.

Dark's Initial Guide

Map Overview

E6 has a total of 4 main phases. 2 Transport Operation & 2 Boss Killing phases.

• This map uses three locks:
  • Western Advance Fleet
  • West. Mission Decisive Battle Fleet
  • Op. Torch Dispatch Fleet. This is a reused lock from E4
• There are 3 LBAS available to use throughout the map.

Phase 0.5

• There's only 1 requirement to unlock the initial TP Phase

	C
Hard	S x2
Medium	S x2
Easy	A+ x2
Casual	A+ x2?

• Single Fleet: 0-1 BB(V), 0-1 CV(L), 0-1 CA(V), 1 CL, 3-4 DD
• Route: A B C
• LBAS Ranges:
  • C: 6 AD/AP: 57/113 on Hard
  • B: 9 Sub Node
  • Sending 1 ASW LBAS to B to help deal with the submarines is recommended, while the other LBAS may be sent to C
    • It is possible to opt out using the third available LBAS in this Phase and set it to defend with the interception setup leftover from E5 to save on resources.

Phase 1: Casablanca Transport Operation

This is a Transport Operation

• Strike Force: 1 CL, 3-4 DD, 0-2 CVL, 0-1 BBV, 0-1 AV, 0-1 CA(V)
• Route: A B C D D2 F G
• G is the boss node with Supply Depots and Artillery Imps present.
• LBAS Ranges:
  • G: 5 AD/AP: 81/162
  • B: 9 Sub Node
• Notes:
  • Having 3-5 of the Ships set up for Anti-Installation Warfare is recommended
    • As Special Daihatsu also count like regular DLC for Transport Operations, both the Damage and Transport requirement can be reached this way without compromises
  • Sending 1 ASW LBAS to B to help deal with the submarines is recommended, while the other LBAS may be sent to the boss G
    • It is possible to opt out using the third available LBAS in this Phase and set it to defend with the interception setup leftover from E5 to save on resources.

Phase 1.5: Unlock Path to S

There's only 1 requirement needed to unlock the 2nd TP Phase

	D3
Hard	Reach
Medium	Reach

• Refer to Phase 1 fleet as it is the same fleet, but set up for surface warfare.
• Route: A B C D D1 D3
• D3 is an end node. Proceeding with taiha from D1 is fine as ships will not face combat and potentially sink.

Phase 2: Second Transport Operation

• STF: 2-3 BB, 1-2 CVL, 0-1 CV, 0-2 CA(V), 1 CL + 1 CL, 3-4 DD, 0-1 CA(V), 0-1 AV
• Number of CL + DD >= 6?
• Note: Shared the same lock with the final phase. This can be where all the ship use for the final boss can be use.
• Strong shelling fleet but lower TP Drain per run

• TCF: 0-1 CVE, 0-1 AV, 1 CL, 4 DD + 1-2 CL, 3-4 DD, 0-2 CA(V)
• Allows bringing more Daihatsus and Drums to deplete the TP Gauge faster.
• Aims for A rank only at the boss.
• Node & Boss Support Expedition is highly recommended here to help pass through regular nodes and A rank the boss.

• Route: H I L N O Q S

Phase 2.5: Unlock Path to W

• Anti Installation setup is required to kill off the enemies at the boss with the exception of the Supply Depot Princess here.

	D1	G	S	U	Y	LBAS
