Generic Guide 101

E-3 is not a difficult map (merely tedious), and the shiplock only applies on Hard Difficulty. Nevertheless, there are multiple phases to the map that must be tackled sequentially.

LBAS:

• You have access to all 3 LBAS bases.
• The range to the P1 boss (Node J) is 8.
• The range to the P2 boss (Node U) is 7.
• The range to Nodes O & T (required for unlocks) is 8.
• The range to Node F (New Submarine Hime node) is 4.

Part 1: Deleting Anchorage Water Demon (Vacation Mode)

The most straightforward phase of the map. A Fast fleet with 2BB and no CVs (CVL allowed, but no more than 3 BBs+CVLs) will give you the fastest route to the boss.

• Route: AFIJ
• Nelson, if used (ideally with an RE slot), will require a speed boost set-up (turbine+boiler).
  • Nelson Touch may be used to help with pre-boss clear rate at Node I, or to clear the boss fleet at Node J. Pick your poison.
• LBAS: 4 bombers on 2 bases to boss (Node I), 4 ASW (ideally Toukai) on 1 base to node F to help with pass rate.

Part 4: Chip Anzio Hime until LD Range

• Make use of CTF fleet after you finished with
• Route: D-F-G-M-L-K-R-U

Recommended Fleet: 2 BB, 2 CV, 1-2 AV, 0-1 CL + 1 CL, 2-3 DD, 2 CA, 0-1 CLT

Part 5: Debuffing the Boss (once HP bar is within LD range ONLY)

• Note For Hard Mode, make sure your land base value to be at least 1365 for defense.
• If your land base total Fighter Power for defense is below this value, ignore this debuff
• Hardest Air Raids locked in LD
