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 Seaplane Bombers on your AV's biggest slots can help you achieve AS and Artillery Spotting.
- 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 getting a B+ rank on the boss.
- 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.
