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 Spring 2025 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.

Map Overview
E5 is a single and combined fleet, three-phase map consisting of one transport and two boss phases.
- 3 LBAS are available on this map:
- Initially, only 1 can be set on Sortie, the other being useless as no enemy air raid will happen,
- After phase 2, all 3 LBAS can be set on Sortie.
- Thi LBAS is supposed to be a "seaplane base", and so will be nerferd unless using the proper planes (see above)
- This map uses 3 locks:
Operation Rei-go Unit, Starting point 2 (reused from E-4 and in E-6)
Cavite Reinforcement Unit, Starting point 1
31st Squadron, Starting point 1

Phase 1 - TP
Phase 1 is a new kind of Transport Operation, where "tanks" do work better:
During "Landing Operation", the TP drain formula is altered, with regular modifiers being nerfed, and tanks gaining additional bonuses:
| ExpandTP Depletion Formula
|
| [math]\displaystyle{ \text{TP}_\text{drain} = \Bigg\lfloor \text{Mod}_\text{rank} \times \bigg\lfloor \text{Mod}_\text{map} \times \Big( \sum_\text{All equipment} \text{TP}_\text{equip} + \sum_\text{All ships} \text{TP}_\text{ship} \Big) + \sum_\text{All equipment} \text{TP}_\text{tank} \bigg\rfloor \Bigg\rfloor }[/math]
|
- With
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{rank} }[/math] the rank modifier, being:
- 1.0 for S ranks,
- 0.7 for A ranks,
- 0 otherwise.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{TP}_\text{equip} }[/math] the regular Equipment TP value,
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{TP}_\text{tank} }[/math] the additional equipment TP value given by tanks, described below,
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{TP}_\text{ship} }[/math] the regular Ship TP value,
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{TP}_\text{equip} \text{ & } \text{TP}_\text{tank} \text{ & } \text{TP}_\text{ship} }[/math] are set to 0 for all ship being either heavily damaged (大破), evacuated, or sunk.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{map} }[/math] the map nerf mod, reducing the value of regular TP sources,
|
- Notes
- The total amount of TP is computed separately for each fleet in a combined fleet, with a rounding down on each.
- For Kinu Kai Ni, the modifiers are applied to her and her innate DLC separately.

The use of a Special Attack is highly recommended, preferably the Yamato Touch.
Phase 2 - Boss
The use of a Special Attack is highly recommended, preferably a Nelson-class one.
PT Imp Packs are on the boss, it is therefore advised to bring some anti-PT setups:
| ExpandAnti-PT boat
|
Unlike most standard Abyssals, "PT boats" (PT Imp Pack & Schnellboot Imp Pack ) are "very small and fast".
- All ship types suffer a severe
 accuracy and  firepower penalty against PT boats.
- Attacking them with larger guns is not very effective, smaller guns being recommended instead.
- Support Expeditions are not affect by any of the following[1].

The Attack formula against PT boats:[2][3]
- Jet Assault & Airstrike

- LBAS[4]

- Opening & Closing Torpedo Salvos
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Damage}_\text{PT}= 0.3 \times \text{Atk}_\text{post-cap} + \sqrt{\text{Atk}_\text{post-cap}} + 10 }[/math]

|
- With
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Acc}_\text{Atk} }[/math] the standard accuracy described here
- PT boats are "DDs" in the game, so the [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{formation} }[/math] for vanguard is 1.1 during shelling, and 1.2 during the torpedo phase.
- Historical accuracy bonuses during Events are included in the Standard Accuracy Term, i.e. it is affected by the [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{PT} }[/math] modifier.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{EVA}_\text{PT} }[/math] the PT estimated evasion
 described bellow,
- The main Accuracy modifiers are
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{Amagiri} }[/math] being include in [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Acc}_\text{Atk} }[/math]:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{Ship} }[/math] the bonus given by ship types, described below,
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{EquipmentAcc} }[/math] the bonuses given by equipment, described below,
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{Night} }[/math] being 0.7 during night battle, 1 during day battle.

Amagiri Kai Ni/D
 has the ability to prioritize focusing on attacking PT imps with significantly increased accuracy if any are present.
- DD placed in the composition slots above and below her will gain a noticeable accuracy boost and will prioritize attacking PT boats if any are present.
- The PT boat targeting rate is 100% for all affected ships [9].
During Events, some special bonuses may be added, with "historical" ships and equipment gaining some accuracy bonuses[10].

- Notes
- It is recommended to use anti-PT setups on DDs only, such setups compromising overall combat effectiveness.
- Having a Reinforcement Expansion is important because it can save a ship slot by containing a machine gun or skilled lookouts.
- Combining equipment is recommended to see significant boosts to accuracy.
- The
 Ka-Tsu Tanks
 bonus does not stack with the  Armed Boats
 ones.
- Using other setups improving accuracy is also advisable:
