Tips

To complete the map, you need to defeat the boss flagship 4 times.

  • Clearing this map rewards 75 Ranking points and a medal.
  • The map will reset at midnight JST at the beginning of every month.
  • Enemy fleets along the route to the boss are composed purely of submarines.
    • Always use Line Abreast against SS.
    • At various HQ level thresholds, enemy compositions will increase in difficulty, but if you train a fleet of DD, CL, and DE, and also maintain strong ASW equipment, this should be manageable.
  • Using DDs and CLs that have an ASW stat over 100, DEs that have an ASW stat over 60, or Ships with native OASW, will allow them to perform a OASW attack, which is very helpful on this map.
  • This map is very useful to complete Bd8 (Sink 6 Submarines) and Bw5 (Sink 15 Submarines).
  • Akashi can drop with a small chance, but only for Admirals who don't have her.

See Anti-Submarine Warfare and OASW for more general information about Anty-Submarine Warfare.

Recommended Fleets

  • 1CVL, 1BBV 2DD/CL (recommended for beginners)
  • Route = A D F G J
    • Equipping a Saiun to the CVL will minimize the chance of Red T Disadvantage.
    • At least 1 BBV is recommended as it is capable of performing ASW while also granting a second shelling phase.
    • A CVE (ASW CVL) is highly recommended for this map as they are CVLs capable of fighting submarines efficiently.
    • See OASW for more detail on how they work.

  • 2-4DD/DE, 0-2CL
  • Route = A D F G J
    • The use OASW capable ships is highly recommended since the ships will be able to perform two rounds of ASW attacks, with one before any enemy SS opening torpedo attack.
  • 4DE
  • Route = A D E J
    • DEs are more economical resources-wise.
    • The path is a bit easier while also reaching the boss node.

Sparkling

This map can now also double for Flagship Sparkling for any DD, CL, or DE, preferably with OASW.

  • Recommended Sparkling Fleet:
    • 1DD/CL, ASW focused (OASW is preferred, but not essential), as Flagship, and 2 to 3 throwaway LV 1 DDs.
    • By doing this, you can basically sparkle your Flagship while taking far less damage, aside from the occasional bad targeting roll.
    • Critically, this leveling method works best after LV 80, as throwaway destroyers without ASW equipment are unable to defeat the armor of the most subs on the map, guaranteeing your flag an MVP.
    • Most importantly, by covering three nodes, you gain far more morale per node than you would from sparkling at 1-1.
    • If you plan to use throwaway DDs, be sure to not use DDs you plan to keep/train since you are likely to choose to scrap them afterward.
