Nodes		Rules
A	B	Choice node
	C
E	F	Meet ANY of the following to go to F Amount of AV+CL ≥ 4 Amount of AV ≥ 2 Go to G if CL ≤ 1 and DD ≥ 3 Otherwise, random routing (More likely to go to F)
	G
G	H	Fixed route
H	I	Fail the LoS check Random routing if the 36 ≤ LoS ≤ 38 (Cn3)
	J	Pass the LoS check: > 38 (Cn3)

Tips

Regarding the map

Requires 4 Boss kills to deplete the HP gauge.

• Once the map is cleared, you can no longer roll the Final Form at the boss node.
• Only AVs, CLs, CTs, and DDs are allowed!
  • Specifically at least 1AV, 1CL, and 1DD. CLT cannot be used here.

Node notes

• Node C is a normal submarine node
• Node B can be a submarine node, but isn't always.
  • The only reason to head towards B is to have a fleet that cannot/don't want to face SS So-Class Elite at node C. But doing so requires an additional fight which is not preferable.
• A CL Tsu-Class Elite can show up at node E.
• Node G can be guaranteed with 4 DDs in the fleet.

Recommend Fleets

AVs and CLs able to carry a Midget Submarine

are advised in every composition.

• Because you can only deploy AV/CL/CT/DD, it is unlikely that your fleet win during daytime battle. You should expect the battle to last into nighttime.
• Using SPBs on your AV's biggest slots can help you achieve AS and Artillery Spotting.
• Consider using special night cut-ins on your DDs to damage the boss during night battle.

• 1AV, 1CL, 4DD
• Route = A C E G H J
  • The most cost-effective way to get to the boss, and guarantees G branching, which allows two air reconnaissance rewards.
  • The setup with the lowest damage output. It may not consistently get a victory at the boss.

• 1AV, 2CL, 3DD
• Route = Random:
  • A C E G H J
  • A C E F H J
  • Has better damage over the Light fleet and, on the shortest route, can fight at the boss with better damage output.
  • Has to deal with RNG. Being sent to Node F may hurt a bit more.

• 1AV, 1CL, 1DD, 3AV/CL/DD
• 2AV, 3CL, 1DD
• Route = A C E F H J
  • Has the highest damage output at the boss, especially since the boss fight almost always requires night battle.
  • Needs to fight an extra battle against a fleet led by a CA Ne-Class Elite which has battleship-like stats.

Air Reconnaissance Mechanic

On 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(B rank or higher).
  • Neither G or H have combat.
  • Animation will be shown for the Air Reconnaissance; if both Flying boats
    and other seaplanes are brought, Flying Boat animation takes priority.
  • Success rate of the air reconnaissance depends on the LoS and slot sizes of Seaplanes brought.
  • You forfeit all reconnaissance rewards if you lose at or do not reach the boss node..

The formula for Air Reconnaissance is [math]\displaystyle{ R = \sum_{\text{Seaplane Recon, Bombers}} \text{LoS} \times \sqrt{\sqrt{\text{No.}_\text{planes}}} + \sum_{\text{Large Flying Boats}} \text{LoS} \times \sqrt{\text{No.}_\text{planes}} }[/math]

To sum up, the more LoS and Seaplanes you have, the better, with Flying Boats being better than other seaplanes.

• For node G, the minimum [math]\displaystyle{ R }[/math] to achieve success is 12 for G and 16 for H.
• For Great Success, the requirement is multiplied by [math]\displaystyle{ (1.6 + rand(0.6)) }[/math].
• This means that the minimum and maximum requirement for Great Success for H is 25.6 and 35.2.
