General Rules of Expeditions

Key assumptions of the table above

The table assumes that expedition timings are run optimally.
The table lists gross, not net, resource gain.
The chart does not take into account resources spent sparkling

While expedition 6 gives the "highest" gross resources per hour, this is all in bauxite, which may have a limited utility.

Common Expedition Combinations

As one of the three expeditions is usually committed towards either expedition 2 for buckets or expedition 6 for bauxite, most combinations here will cover the options for the remaining two expeditions.

Combination					+	Total Gross Hourly Resources^[7]
5 GS 21 GS	406	374	20	20	780	860
21 GS 38 GS	422	174	104	0	596	700
5 GS 38 GS	416	200	124	20	616	800
37 GS 38 GS	216	207	251	0	423	674
5 GS 21 GS 38 GS	622	374	123	20	996	1180

Forming Expedition Compositions

The following can be seen from the above table

For extra sparkling chance, expedition 5 can be run with five sparkled ships instead of the minimum of 4.
Assuming perfect efficiency, expedition 5 effectively dominates expedition 21.
- This means that expedition 21 should not be run unless expedition 5 is also being run
Stacking expeditions 5, 21, and 38 for an all-out fuel focus

Bucket Expeditions

#	Time					Average Time Per Bucket (lower is better)
2	0:30		200	60		1H
4	0:50		72			1H 40M
9	4:00	87				No Buckets
9 GS	4:00	130				2H 40M ^[8]
10	1:30	33			19	3H
13 GS	90	113				5H 20M

Sortie Resource Farming

This portion of the review will discuss maps in which resources may be farmed.

2-2
2-3: Orel cruising collects about 45 fuel and 12 ammo for a single sub, and is discussed further on its page
3-2: Kis Island is an excellent place to farm steel with submarines, averaging 100 steel per successful run ^[9]

Stage Guide

There are no branching rules for this map. All paths are chosen randomly.
Bearing a 9 star difficulty compared to 4-4's 8 stars, it is one of the hardest maps to clear. Almost every node past the first nodes contain Flagship BBs and/or Elite BBs. The boss node however has a small chance of using a fleet without BBs at all.
4BBs and 2CVs is recommended.
Clearing this map with only submarines is possible but requires incredible luck as there are golden CLs equipped with both sonar and depth charges that will hit your subs hard even with turbines equipped.Recommended to use remodelled SS.

F	K
G	J	Node K if enough LOS (fairly low requirement), otherwise node J
	K

To complete the map, you will need to defeat the flagship (Tsu-Class Light Cruiser) 4 times.
Upon completing this task you will be rewarded with 150 points and a medal
The map will reset at Midnight JST at the beginning of every month.
LoS requirement from lv90 to 99 is 28 Effective LoS for G→K (radar LoS+ 2* (Recon Plane LoS) + √(total LoS) ≥ 28)
One of the more efficient ways in which you can level DDs in an Extra Operation, boasting 600 exp for the flagship position and 400 for the other ships with just a B rank. Take note that enemy patterns have great chance dealing heavy damage to DDs even with maximum firepower and armor in torpedo phase.
Centre route (A-E-F-K or B-E-F-K) is not recommended, not only does this require an awkward fleet composition (either a CL2DD in a heavy fleet or a BB/CV in a light one), E node presents two Ru-Flags
Some recommended fleet compositions:
- North Route (A-C-F-K):
  - 1 BB(V) + 1 CA(V) + 2 CLT + 2 CV
  - 3 CA(V) + 3 CV
  - 3 BB(V) + 3 SS(V)
  - 1 CVL + 3 CA(V) + 2 BB (Quest B32)
  - 1 CVL + 1 CA(V) + 2 BB + 2 CLT (Quest B32)
- South Route (B-G-K):
  - 1 CL + 5 DD
    - Regarded as the 'standard' composition, this is the strongest possible composition that is guaranteed to reach the boss via B-G-K, assuming LoS requirements are met. It is recommended to try the south route with this composition first.
    - Sparkling is recommended for lower level DDs as you are unlikely to kill or disable all enemies in preboss nodes, which can lead to closing torpedoes critically damaging the low-armored DDs if not evaded.
  - 1 CAV + 1 CL + 4 DD
    - An alternative composition, this trades the 100% reliability of the compass in exchange for more power and a higher chance of surviving preboss battles. G-node will be a CVL node in which Air Superiority can be achieved with the help of seaplane fighters and Mogami Kai with her recently revised seaplane slots.
    - There is a risk of getting sent off-course to nodes A or E. Players may opt to refresh the game if sent to these nodes.
  - 1 AV + 1 CL + 4 DD
    - Another alternative, this also sacrifices guaranteed routing, but in exchange for a a pre-emptive torpedo strike, and possibility of Air Parity (Air Superiority with Mizuho Kai or seaplane fighters) at G node on the final clear.
    - There is a risk of getting sent off-course to nodes A or E. Players may opt to refresh the game if sent to these nodes.

Nodes and Enemy Encounters

- "F" mean "Final". You will always encounter this pattern when the boss gauge is 1/4 or if you've already completed this map.
- Although there is no visual difference, players at HQ 84 and below will face a weaker version of the Northern Princess at node F.
