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:

  • An overview of the map, including ship/equipment bonuses, Ship Locks, and special mechanics,
  • 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: (T=these must have possible alternatives for players who may or may not have all ships needed for a specific path),
    • The Paths said compositions will take (to explain each path the composition will/can take),
    • A summary or description of what kind of obstacles a composition will face.
  • A description of the boss node: what it consists of, and a descriptive guide on what the player should consider for a course of action to successfully win the battle,
  • Optional: Tips/guides to farm certain ships and/or resources (this can also require compositions, paths, and possible descriptions).

Editors are to construct their own version of the guide/part of the guide, and complete it in a timely fashion.

No editor is allowed to edit over other editors' work without the 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 2022 Event, being reviewed and updated once more before it can be released.

Overall there should be 3 versions of the guide that have to be constructed, including: Preliminary > Polished > Finalized Guides

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.

Dark's Initial Guide

Map Overview

E6 has a total of 4 main phases. 2 Transport Operation & 2 Boss Killing phases.

  • This map uses three locks:
    •   Western Advance Fleet
    •   West. Mission Decisive Battle Fleet
    •   Op. Torch Dispatch Fleet. This is a reused lock from E4
  • There are 3 LBAS available to use throughout the map.

Phase 0.5

  • There's only 1 requirement to unlock the initial TP Phase
C
Hard S x2
Medium S x2
Easy A+ x2
Casual A+ x2?
  • Single Fleet: 0-1(F)BB(V), 0-1CVL, 0-1CA(V), 0-1AV, 1CL, 3-4DD  
  • Route: A B C
    • LBAS Ranges:
      • C: Range = 6, AD/AP: 57/113 on Hard
      • B: Range = 9, Sub Node
    • 1 ASW LBAS may be sent to B to help deal with the submarines, while the other LBAS may be sent to C
      • The third LBAS in this Phase may be kept on Defense or otherwise inactive with the interception setup leftover from E5 to save on resources.

Phase 1: Casablanca Transport Operation

This is a Transport Operation

  • Strike Force: 1CL, 3-4DD, 0-2CVL, 0-1BBV, 0-1AV, 0-1CA(V)  
  • Route: A B C D D2 F G
    • Boss node G contains multiple Supply Depots and Artillery Imps.
    • LBAS Ranges:
      • G: Range = 5, AD/AP: 81/162
      • B: Range = 9, Sub Node
Notes
  • Equipping 3-5 ships with Anti-Installation setups is recommended.
    • As all variants of Landing Craft drain the same amount of TP, both the Damage and Transport requirement can be reached without much compromise.
  • 1 ASW LBAS may be sent to B to help deal with the submarines, while the other LBAS may be sent to the boss node G.
    • It is possible to keep the third LBAS in this Phase on Defense or otherwise inactive with the interception setup leftover from E5 to save on resources.

Phase 1.5: Unlock Path to S

There's only 1 requirement needed to unlock the 2nd TP Phase:

D3
Hard Reach
Medium Reach
Easy Reach
Casual ??
  • For the fleet used, refer to Phase 1 as it is the same fleet but equipped for surface warfare.
  • Route: A B C D D1 D3
    • Proceeding from D1 with Taiha is safe as D3 is a non-combat node.

Phase 2: Second Transport Operation

  • STF: 2-3(F)BB(V), (0-2CVL or 0-1CV(B)), 1-2CL, 0-3XX + 1CL, 2-5DD, 0-3XX

    • Heavier fleet at the cost of slower TP per run.

  • TCF: 0-2XX, 4-6DD + 1-2CL, 3-5DD, 0-2CA(V)  
    • Light fleet in exchange for higher TP per run
    • Aims for A rank only at the boss.
    • Node & Boss Support Expedition is highly recommended to help reach the boss and achieve A rank

  • Route: H I L N O Q S
  • LBAS Ranges:
    • S: Range = 5, AD/AP: 75/149 on Hard
    • O: Range = 3, no air presence
    • I: Range = 8, Sub Node

    • I: Range = 8, Sub Node

Both the Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode  (SDH-C-vac) boss and the Anchorage Water Demon Vacation Mode  are "Installation-like warships" (see here).

  • They mostly behave like regular warships combat-wise, being notably not torpedo-immune anymore,
  • They take additional damage from anti-installation equipment, see here,
  • Unlike their regular counterparts, they do not take any "pre-cap" damage from anti-installation equipment,
    • They cannot be nuked the same way,
    • Using TCI including a  Landing Craft /  Tank is recommended to take them down effectively, see below.

How to defeat the "Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode"

The Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode  are classified as Installation-like warships and not regular Installations

  • She can now be hit by any regular surface-type attacks, such as torpedo-based ones.
  • Using anti-installation equipment like Landing Craft will inflict her additional post-cap damage.
  • During the day battle phase, it is difficult to damage her with Landing Crafts only.
  • During the night battle phase, using Landing Crafts on ships equipped with a TCI or a DA, is very effective.
    • For these ships, it is important to have high firepower   and high torpedo-power   too, for better night attacks effectiveness.
  • Torpedo Cutins    /    can deal 1000 to 1500 damage to her.
  • Double Attacks of a 4-slot ships can deal 1000 to 2000 damage to her.

See here for the equipment bonus table.

On Hard, the first step is to reduce the HP of SDH-C-vac to near 4000 until the day-closing torpedo phase. After that, she can be sunk by those special night attacks.

Phase 4: Final Battle against the Incomplete Battleship Princess

  • STF: 2-3(F)BB(V), (0-2CVL or 0-1CV(B)), 0-2XX, 1CL + 1CL, 3-4DD, 1-2XX  
  • Route: H I L M X Y Z
    • Max 1 of Yamato or Musashi,
      • If included, DD ≥ 4
    • Both Support Expeditions are highly recommended to help reach the boss and secure the kill on Last Dance
    • 1-2 OASW or 1 ASW LBAS can help pass through I
  • LBAS Ranges:
    • Z: Range = 4, AD/AP: 83/165 (164/328 on LD) on Hard
    • I: Range = 8, Sub Node

As an Installation-like warship, the Dock Princess  take additional damage from anti-installation equipment:

Dock Princess 
 
special damage bonuses
Equipment Bonus
 AA Shells 1.3x
See here for the complete list.
  Toku DLC + Panzer III  1.21x

Panzer DLC have large bonuses against the Incomplete Battleship Princess :

Incomplete Battleship Princess 
 
special damage bonuses
Equipment Bonus
  DLC + Panzer II  1.45x
  Toku DLC + Panzer III  1.75x

Phase 4.33: Optional Shortcut Unlock

Once LD has been reached, there is an option for everyone to unlock a shortcut to route from I to N and from O to Y

G N S LBAS
Hard S AS x2 S x2 AS?
Medium - AS x2 S x2? ??
Easy - AS x2 A x2? -
Casual - ?? ?? -

  • For the fleet used, refer to Phase 1 as it is the same fleet.

  • For the fleet used, refer to Phase 4 as it is the same fleet.

  • For the fleet used, refer to Phase 2 as it is the same fleet.

  • LBAS: Air Defense
  • This can be done passively since getting AS on the air raid requires an LBAS set on "defense" with a strong enough air-defense

Phase 4.66: Debuff

The following steps have to be performed to debuff the boss

D1 G S U Y LBAS
Hard S S S AS S ASx2
Medium - A+ S? - S? AS?
Easy - A+ S? - S? AS?
Casual - ?? ?? - ?? ??

  • For the fleet used, refer to Phase 1 as it is the same fleet.
  • Select to go to D1 at D

  • For the fleet used, refer to Phase 1 as it is the same fleet.

  • For the fleet used, refer to Phase 2 as it is the same fleet.

  • For the fleet used, refer to Phase 3 as it is the same fleet.
  • Fleet must not have any Repair ship or AO Kai in order to route to U

  • For the fleet used, refer to Phase 4 as it is the same fleet.

  • LBAS: Air Defense
  • This can be done passively since getting AS on the air raid requires an LBAS set on "defense" with a strong enough air-defense

Once Debuff is complete the CG will change to the following.
