Tips

At least 3 SS are required to reach the boss.
There are LoS checks G-H and H-K. They do not have high LoS requirements (SSVs with a couple recon planes will pass), but an all-sub fleet without recon planes will be sent to I.

Recommended Fleet

CLT + CL + CV + 3 SS(V) routes CFGHK
- Effective fleet for taking out the boss but it will have to go through node B where there's a Ru-class Flagship.
- CV may or may not wish to equip SCAMP, as it allows the CV to act first. Try to use armored CV so that it can attack even in chuuha.
- Saiun is probably not a good idea for clearing purposes (you want to minimize damage taken along the route). Only consider that if you're using this fleet for the monthly quest (3 S Victory at 6-1 boss).
An all-sub fleet routes ADFGHK
- Allows the fleet to completely ignore any enemy ships that can't attack subs, however node D is pretty harsh on subs with late-model DDs and flagship CLs.
- You pretty much want to count on cut-in attacks (at boss), so only use remodeled subs if you're using this composition. Note that you need recon planes for this map, and as SS(V) only have 2 slots, you may want to just give both planes to the same girl. You will want as many submarines that are actually combat capable for this route, meaning that you really need I-401 and/or U-511 (Ro-500).
  - For those who obtained both during the Spring 2017 event, the kai versions of I-13 & I-14 have 3 equipment slots. You can equip a recon plane in their first slot, leaving 2 slots available for torpedo equipment (and torpedo cut-ins).
Taigei + 2 DD + 3 SS(V), Taigei + 1 CL + 4 SS(V) routes AFGHK
- The shortest route in terms of number of battles. Taigei can also equip recon planes to free up slots for your SS(V)s.
- The trade off is that any enemy ship still in lightly damage or better shape at the end of shelling phase will have fewer targets to launch their torpedoes at. Taigei (and escorts if any) also has to tank all the preboss ships that can't perform ASW i.e. the Wa-class Transport Elite, and far more dangerously, the Flag and/or Elite Ri-Class CA
- She'll also be targeted by closing torpedoes, which now have much fewer targets than normal. However, most of the formation pre-boss is echelon or diamond so the chance of getting hit by torpedoes is small.
Pattern 1 on node I has a chance to drop I-401 with S Victory. If you want to farm her there, 1 BB 3 CLT 1 CL 1 CV or 1 CL 3 CLT 2 CV both guarantee CFGI and are good enough to get S Rank.

Tips

Requires sinking the flagship at the boss node 3 times to deplete the gauge.
One thing to note for this map is the presence of Light Cruiser Tsu-Class everywhere, you will probably want bombers in larger slots of CV(L) should you bring them in order not to run into the risk of having them all shot down, rendering your CV(L) unable to attack during shelling.

Recommended Fleet

1 BB(V), 1 CV(L), 2 DD, 2 CA(V) / 1 BB(V), 1 CV, 2 DD, 2 CLT routes C-E-I/J-K
- There is a LoS check for E → J (LoS F33(C_n=3) > 51 needed for E → J). Using a composition that fails this check will go to I instead. As node I is generally an easier node than J, failing this LoS check is more preferable.
  - LoS F33(C_n=3) in range 41-43 guarantees going I and passing the second LoS check.
2 CLT, 2 CA(V), 2 CV / 2 CLT, 2 CA(V), 1 CV, 1 BB routes C-E-F-I-K
- Higher chance to kill the boss, but not as efficient for farming.

Tips

Regarding the map

Requires sinking boss flagship 4 times to clear.
- Once the map is cleared, you can no longer roll the Final Form at the boss node
Only seaplane tenders, light cruisers, training cruisers, and destroyers allowed! Specifically at least 1 AV, at least 1 DD, and at least 1 CL. Torpedo cruisers (CLT) cannot be used here.

Specific node notes

Node C is a submarine node, but you will not get the normal indication that it is a submarine node. Node B can be a submarine node, but isn't always.
There is very little reason to head towards B, unless the fleet cannot (or do not) want to face SS So-Class Elite at node C. But avoiding So-Class requires an additional fight which is not preferable
CL Tsu-Class Elite can show up at node E.
Node G can be guaranteed with 4 destroyers in the fleet.

Regarding air reconnaissance mechanic

From nodes G and H, recon planes will be flown towards the green X (the recon route is shown on the map as green arrows). Successful reconnaissance will reward additional resources upon winning at the boss node.
- Neither G or H have combat.
- Animation will be shown for the Air Reconnaissance; if both Type 2 Flying Boat and other seaplanes are brought, Type 2 Flying Boat animation takes priority.
- Success rate (and possibly critical success rate) of the air reconnaissance depends on which AV and what equipment(s) are equipped, if any. Akitsushima equipped with Type 2 Flying Boat appears to increase the critical (and normal?) success rate.
- You forfeit all reconnaissance rewards if you either drift away from boss or lose at the boss node..

Regarding Boss Fleet

Before the gauge can be depleted (Initial Form), the boss fleet consists of 1~2 BB Ta-Class Flagships, 1~2 CA Ri-Class Flagships, 0~1 CL He-Class Flagship, the Destroyer Princess (weaker version), and 2 late model destroyers (either Ro-Class, Ha-Class, or Ni-Class). The two destroyers appearing will be the same class.
When the gauge can be depleted (Final Form), the boss fleet is led by Destroyer Princess (stronger version), 2 BB Ta-Class Flagships, 1 CA Ri-Class Flagship, and 2 DD Ni-Class Late Models.
- Because you can only deploy AV/CL/CT/DD, it is unlikely for the player's fleet to be able to inflict significant damage during daytime battle. You should expect the battle to last into night time.

Recommend Fleet

1 AV, 1 CL, 4 DD (A → C → E → G → H → J, 3 fights total)
- Pros: The most cost-effective way to get to boss, and guarantees G branching, which allows two air reconnaissance rewards. CL can be Abukuma Kai Ni in order to grant yourself another preemptive torpedo salvo if she is equipped with a Type A Ko-hyoteki.
- Cons: Lowest damage output of the setup and may not be able to consistently get a victory at boss.
2 AV, 3 CL, 1 DD (A → C → E → F → H → J, 4 fights total)
- Pros: Highest damage output at boss, especially due to the boss fight almost always requiring night battle
- Cons: Needs to fight an extra battle against enemy fleet led by a CA Ne-Class Elite which has the stats close to a battleship.
1 AV, 2 CL, 3 DD (Either of the above routes, 3 or 4 fights total)
- Pros: Has better damage over 1 AV 1 CL 4 DD, and if the random compass sends you to G node, can fight at boss with better output and still only fighting 3 battles total.
- Cons: Has to deal with RNG, and being sent to node F this way hurts a bit more.

Suggested Ships (and equipment setups)

AV: Despite the fact that Akitsushima with her flying boats can succeed at the air reconnaissance better, her battle output is low, and as the boss fleet is rather tanky, using either Chitose, Chiyoda or Mizuho equipped with 2 Zuiun (or variants) and 1 Type A Ko-hyoteki is the better choice, especially since the opening torpedo can easily take out a less-armored target before shelling begins. If aviable, Nisshin A will be the best choice as AV, since her 4 slots allow her to equip Zuiun for Air Superiority and Artillery Spotting, Two main guns for day- and nighttime double-attack and a minisub with a potent opening Torpedo. (Akitsushima cannot equip Type A Ko-hyoteki, lower plane capacity, and no torpedo capability, period.) Note that any setup with seaplane bombers have chances being shot down, especially if Tsu-Class Elite shows up at node E, which may result in no air superiority at boss node.
CL: Generally, your 1~3 best CLs here. Unless your other ships can compensate for the lowered night battle damage, it is not recommended to use Ooyodo here. Abukuma Kai Ni is highly recommended for here since she can be armed with a Type A Ko-hyoteki.
DD: Consider the boss fight will require night battle for the most part, and the fact that Destroyer Princess (harder version) has 115 armor, it is better to bring ships that have better night battle performances. Anti-Air equipment is not required for this map because no enemy fleets here have air capability.

Tips

Requires destroying the Isolated Island Princess 5 times to clear.
This map features multiple starting zone positions which were introduced in the Winter 2016 Event.

Fleet consisting of a Torpedo Squadron (i.e. mostly DDs or CL and DDs) will start on left side of the map
Existence of any carrier will start on the east, as will any two battleships, or three CA(V)s (Obviously Nagato and Mutsu Kai Ni is the exception)
Not having two destroyers will also start on the west
You cannot bring no more than 2 CV(L)(B)
You cannot bring more than 2 (F)BB

Regarding Boss Fleet

Boss Fleet is heavily effected based on your HQ level.
- Admirals below HQ level 103 will not feature a 6-enemy composition in the boss composition outside of the last kill, but will have a chance of appearing if your HQ level is 103 or higher.
- Admirals below HQ level 111 have a chance of rolling a 5-enemy composition with the Late Model DDs (This is the easiest comp). But once your HQ is 111 or higher, this composition will disappear completely and can no longer be rolled.
Boss fleet's flagship is the Isolated Island Princess
- Isolated Hime will usually have Battery Imps and Supply Depot Princess with her.
- Dev tweet says Battery Imps are immune to Type 3 Shells but there are many reports of CAs and BBs doing high damage to them in yasen.
- Using WG42 and Daihatsu will do decent damage to them.
- If you have enough WG42 then you may want to use Ooyodo or Gotland and equip her with 2 of them as they stack and can deliver severe damage and can easily one shot an Imp or one of the Hime.
- Stacking Type 2 Ka-Mi Tank and Daihatsu-class Landing Craft (Type 89 Medium Tanks & Marines) upgraded with WG42 can do a lot of damage to Supply Depot Princess and Battery Imp.

Regarding Land-Based Air Squadrons

You are permitted to use 1 Land-Based Air Squadron. There are no air raids on this map.
Upon completing the quest B80 and F43, you will earn a Construction Team to gain access to your Land-Based Air Squadron, which is highly recommended to help simplify the battle on the boss node for this map.
It's recommended to bring 2 Land Based Bombers and 2 Fighters if you have access to your LBAS.
- 3 Land Based Bombers and 1 Fighters is an alternative recommendation, if you want to have a better shot at damaging the installations, but may result in your loosing planes more and also will likely loose your Land Based Attack Bombers' expertise in the process.
The Distance your Land Based Planes can travel on this map is calculated from Start Point 1 and heading eastward each node.
Bring planes with a distance of 5 or more in order for this to support an attack on the boss node.
If your Land Based planes focus on targeting the Artillery Imps and Supply Depot Princess, the battle will be significantly easier.
This map can also serve as a good location to train your Land Based attack planes to max expertise. Bring only Land Based Attackers with a distances of 8 or more as they will reach enough distance to allow you to use Maruyu solo on the submarine node on Node M which your planes should target in order to train them.

1 CL flagship, 1 (F)BB, 3 DD, 1 CAV / 1 (F)BB, 4 DD, 1 CAV / Nagato Kai Ni, Mutsu Kai Ni, 4 DD / 1 CL flagship, Nagato Kai Ni, Mutsu Kai Ni, 3 DD routes B-D-C-F-N
- Gives the shortest and easiest route to boss, but requires Fast fleet, this means if you are using slow BB, you have to speed them up by the help of Turbine + Boiler Synergy.
- Highly recommended only if you have enough WG42s, Daihatsu-class Landing Craft (Type 89 Medium Tanks & Marines) and Type 2 Ka-Mi Tank and had constructed a Seaplane Fighter.
- Fleet has the best chance of reaching the boss node while maintaining fuel and ammo to allow for a better outcome in the boss fight.
- It's highly recommended to have a seaplane fighter or an Italian ship to help aid you in maintaining air superiority / air parity over the fights on your way to the boss.
- DDs and CLs are recommended to have WG42s and Daihatsu as these are the only effective ways to do damage to the Battery Imps and do decent chipping damage to the Isolated Island Princess, CAs and BBs should be armed with a Type 3 Shell against the installation bosses. BBs may also bring AP shells to help aid in doing daytime battle damage.
1 BB(V), 1 CAV, 1CL, 2 DD, and Akitsushima / Nagato Kai Ni, Mutsu Kai Ni, 1 CAV, 2 DD, Akitsushima / Nagato Kai Ni, Mutsu Kai Ni, 1 CL, 2 DD, Akitsushima routes A-D-C-F-N
- Akitsushima allows for the shortest possible path on the west entrance going from A,D,C,F and N.
- In this case Akitsushima should be armed with at least 2 seaplane fighters as her role will serve to be a distraction and to maintain a degree of air superiority at the boss node depending on the formation.
2 CAV, 1CL, and 3 DD routes A-D-C-F-N
- More powerful set up in compared to Akitsushima fleet but will require some luck to ensure you'll deliver damage.

Tips

Requires destroying the Aircraft Carrier Princess 6 times to clear.
This map features multiple starting zone positions. The south route has nodes without enemy CVs and a night battle node, while north route is filled with enemy carriers
Clearing this map rewards 1 Medal and 250 ranking points. The boss HP bar is reset at the beginning of each month.
Air raids will appear once you get the second kill on the boss. However, these will stop after you deplete the bar.
The enemy composition of the map will get harder after you get 3 kills (1 elite ship) and when you reach the final kill (all elite ships)
- The map reverts to all possible pre-final compositions after clearing until the next month reset.
Do prepare a lot of fuel and bauxite for this map as it'll be a costly monthly EO.

Regarding the boss fleet, it is the first normal map that introduces Enemy Combined Fleet

Having access to both of your LBAS for this map is highly recommended for the sake of being able to complete this map with relative easy.
- LBAS setup should be 2 fighters and 2 Land Based Land Attack Bombers.
- LBAS should be set to target the boss node.
- If fortunate enough, it can be possible to take out the Aircraft Carrier Princess with the LBAS or take out a majority of her planes allowing for a chance to easily wipe out all of her bombers rendering her defenseless.
- You are required to have 5 Range to reach the boss with LBAS planes
Eliminating the entire Escort fleet at the boss node is the key so that you can have a high chance of getting a torpedo salvo on the main fleet.
If you are able to take out the enemy fleet's escort flagship along with any of the three enemy escorts, the escort fleet should be removed in night battle, leaving only the main fleet.
- Conditions to engage a night battle against enemy main fleet are not fully known yet, as there are some circumstances that enemy escort flagship is alive, but you still get to fight the enemy main fleet at night.

Recommended Fleet

North route: 1 DD 1 BB 2 CV 1 CA 1 CLT routes A-C-D-G-M
- Since there are Standard Carrier Wo-Class flagship at C node, Light Carrier Nu-Class at D node and one aerial node on the way, consider the use of an Akizuki-class or Maya K2 for AACI to protect your fleet
South route: 1 CL 2 BB 1 CA(V) 2 DD routes B-F-I-J-M
- Pre-boss is easier except the night battle at J
- No ammo penalty at boss, unlike the north route, which can help a lot at the boss fight.
- Ise Kai Ni and Musashi Kai Ni can make the boss fight significantly easier as they can carry seaplane fighter or carrier-based fighter to gain Air Superiority at the boss node (Around 275+ air will guarantee AS at boss, assuming all 4 waves of LBAS sent to the boss node scored Air Parity)
