Sandbox/Winter 2022 E-4
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:
- 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: (These must have possible alternatives for players who may or may not have all ships needed for a specific path)
- The Path said composition will take (To explain what path the composition will take)
- A summary or description of what kind of obstacles a composition will face.
- A description of the boss node, what it consists and a descriptive guide on what the player should consider for a course of action to successfully win the battle.
- (Optional) Tips to farm to take the path to collect certain ships (This will also require a composition, path, and possible description.
Editors are to construct their own version of their guide and complete them in a timely fashion.
No other editors are to allowed to edit over other editors' work without the full 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 2020 Event which it'll be reviewed and updated once more before it can be released.
Overall there will be 3 versions of the guide that will be constructed which will include:
- Preliminary Guide
- Polished Guide
- Finalized Guide
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
Important Notice: This Event map will requires the use of fleets with several historical ships to obtain advantageous routing. These ships are:
- Single Fleets will be used throughout all phases of this map.
- In the early phase of the map, 2 LBASs are available to sortie, a third base is only able to be used in defense.
- Once the Transport phase is completed (Phase 2), all 3 LBAS will be able to sortie.
- Air raids will occur on this map.
- At the start of the final boss phase, the "16th Squadron" tag will enforce a minimum historical ship requirement to be permitted to sortie on the map.
- This will be required across All difficulties, But for Easy / Casual, only 3 members will be needed regardless of tag
- A minimum of 3 Historical ships is needed to Start at A (1st Starting Point) in the final phase.
Phase 1: Eliminate the Supply Depot Hime
- There are two paths that can be taken to reach the boss:
- A short path that will feature night battle nodes featuring PT imps and TCI units along with a day battle with a Ne Kai.
- A longer path featuring submarine and basic surface battles.
- Bringing anti-installation equipment will allow for the fleet to effectively fight the supply depot princess.
- Multiple Nuke setups are recommended for higher difficulties due to the very high HP Supply Depot Princess can have (up to 6000 HP on hard mode)
- LoS (Cn3) = 28.0 (Casual), 32.0 (Easy), 41.0 (Medium), 48.0 (Hard).
- Nuke Setup = 1 Tank + 1 Anti-ground Rocket Launcher
+ any landing tank
or armed boat

Phase 2: Deplete the TP Gauge at O2
