Tips

By the number order of the world map, this is the first time Wo Flagship and Light Cruiser Tsu-Class appear. Wo Flagship is notably much stronger than its normal Flagship counterpart, while CL Tsu-Class has much higher stats compared to the other enemy CL.

  • With the presence of CL Tsu-Class, there is a chance you will lose a lot of bombers (or even their rank, should the Tsu shoot all of them down) before reaching the boss node. Keep in mind that if you wish to bring any bomber on your CV(L).
  • Node E is a submarine node without warning.
  • As every World 5 map, Support Expeditions are available to help you clear the map, something often useful to clear harder quests.

Recommended fleets

  • 2DD and 0-2(F)BB(V)/CV(B/L)
    • Guarantee B start.
  • 1CL and 2DD
    • Guarantee to reach the boss on North routing.
  • 3XX, 1CL, 2DD with 2(F)BB(V) maximum,
    • Route = B C F J
    • 1BB is replacable by 1CVL.
    • Taking CV(B) will introduce random off-routing to E which continues Node G.

Monthly (Bm4):

  • 3BB(V), 1CL, 2DD
  • Route = Random:
    • B E G J
    • A D E G J
  • This quest requires to "S rank" the boss with a fleet of 3 "Japanese BB(V)s" (anything but Kongo-class), 1CL, and 2 other ships.
    • Foreign BBs do not count for this quest.
    • Those other two ships should be 2DDs to guarantee boss routing.
Quarterly Mikawa (Bq7):
  • 3CA, 1CL, 2DD
  • Route = B C F J
  • Support Expedition is advised for the boss.
