Stage Guide
Recommended Fleet
- 2 XX 4 DD (XX can't be any heavy ships such as (F)BB or CV, BBV and CVL are fine though) guarantees F-J branching
Oil Refinery Farming
- The Oil Refinery area is now the new hot spot for farming for since the former "Orel Cruise" has become insufficient due to the increase difficulty subs will face on 2-3. As such Node D of this map now serves as a major area to farm for fuel.
- 1 AV, 4-5 D, 0-1 SS / Kamoi, 4-5 DD, SS (Luigi Torelli recommended)
- Requires Drum Canister and Daihatsu type equipment to increase fuel gain
- You will only have around 80% of reaching node D if you are using the AV comp. If the fleet you are using contains AO such as Kamoi, however, will guarantee node D instead
- Node D will provide you with with a base amount of 10/15/20
- In addition to this, each
and 
you equip will give the following bonuses:
- +2 per
- +3 per
- +2
- With enough and it can become possible to gain a large amount of resources if you make constant trips to this spot.
- Once you complete your first battle, return to your base and refuel your fleet before going back out again.
- If done correctly, this can result in an alarming fuel gain that can end up possibly surpassing any fuel base expedition making this become the ideal location to farm for fuel.
- If you use throwaway DDs, remember to remove their Drum Canister once they run out of fuel and ammo or are critically damaged before scrapping them before proceeding to replace them with another DD that will use the Drum Canisters to run the map to continue the cycle.
- 1 AV, 4-5 D, 0-1 SS / Kamoi, 4-5 DD, SS (Luigi Torelli recommended)
