Tips
- Two CA/CAV to guarantee sortie start->A, and H -> I (boss) route
- Two DD for C to H.
- Node D is an all sub node, Node A has 2/3 chance of having one sub, and Boss Node I 1/3 chance of having one sub
- The best place to level DDs. You can take six of them at once and arrive at sub node 75% of the time. Furthermore you don't have to concern yourself with morale. High exp and very low cost.
- Low level DDs can have some problems so you might want to wait out morale or take BB for second shelling and better MVP control.

Tips
- Killing the boss will bring down map meter 25%. You need to defeat the boss 4 times, and she will turn into a stronger form in the last battle. Map meter does not regenerate.
- Considering the difficulty of the map compared to others, this is a very good map to train on if you are bored with 3-2. Bar Node G, you can intentionally send fleets to get you to node J and generally defeat easy fleet comps. This is not resource or repair friendly though (since you will get damaged one way or another).

Tips
- Regarding the map:
- All enroute nodes are night battles only, so there is no point bringing enroute support fleet on this map (support fleet will never arrive at a night-battle only node).
- You cannot reach the boss node with any carrier in fleet (will be sent to node E).
- With 2DDs in fleet, you will always reach boss from I. Without them, you have about 75% chance of drifting away from it.
- Sinking the Wa-class Elite at the boss node will lower the boss gauge by 20%. You need to do this 5 times to clear the map.
- Recommended Fleet Setup / Equipment:
- Fleet
- Any fleet that uses 2+DD, no carriers, no more than 2 BBs, and all ships being fast ship.
- Examples: 2DD+2CA(V)+2FBB, 3CLT+1CA(V)+2DD...
- Alternatively, you can utilize Akitsu Maru for air superiority. Note that since she is a slow ship, you don't need to be using fast fleet anymore. However, you will have a high chance of going to the submarine node.
- Usually the setup would be Akitsu Maru+2BB+1CA(V)+2DD.
- It's also possible to use a submarine-only fleet; this fleet can get to pre-boss rather easily, in exchange, you will likely lower your win rate due to automatic D loss at node B. This fleet also has a great chance of drifting away from boss node.
- A modified version of this uses 4SS(V)+2DD; if the DDs make it to pre-boss node alive you can guarantee reaching the boss node. However, as the enemies that cannot perform ASW will focus on them, it may be risky.
- In either case, bringing shelling support for the boss node might work well, as the support fleet can destroy the enemy Wa-Class Elite prior to shelling phase starting.
- Equipment:
- Unless you are going to use Akitsu Maru, you have no reason of using any recon seaplanes (with the exception of the night recon plane) since you will always be at Air Denial.
- It's possible to get AS with enough CAVs and BBVs utilizing seaplane bombers, but this would result in those ships targeting the submarine first, which could be problematic. Thus, it is not recommended to use seaplane bombers.
- It may be wise to equip some night battle equipment (Star Shell, Searchlight, Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)) since the enroute nodes are all night-battle only. However, note the following:
- Searchlight may be risky because it's more likely that the ship carrying it would be suffering damage and increase chances of having to retreat.
- While it will work at the enroute nodes, Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout) will never activate at the boss unless Akitsu Maru is used (Night Scout does not activate when you have Air Denial).
- Before you clear the map, the boss node always has a flagship submarine. Therefore, the firing order and the equipment of your ships that are ASW-capable must be thought out, as CL/CLT/DDs are useless at night battle if the submarine is still alive (will fire on the submarine but unable to kill it).
- Remember that all submarines take regular damage at night battle if the node is night-battle only.
- Unless you need S rank for drops, you do not need to destroy the Hime and can bring a lighter fleet to deal with the Wa-class Elite for map clear purpose. Keep in mind of the ASW-aspect of the ships if you do this, however.

Tips
- Like 5-3, you must sink the boss battle flagship 5 times to complete the map.
- Clearing this map with a Submarine Fleet consisting of 5-6SS is possible; However, there is a high chance that your SS won't hit the Flagship in the boss node.
- Using level 60+ SS (with at least maxed armor and torpedo stat) is advised, since there are several flagship DD and CL equipped with sonars and depth charges..
- Nodes G and I are night battles.
- Node I is a submarine node.
- Node H contains Carrier Demons while nodes K and N contain Carrier Princesses
- For farming rare ships, Admiral exp or just boss kills to unlock 5-5, recommended formation is a flagship that can carry 4 drums (Yuubari, Ooyodo, CAV), any combination of 3 FBBs and/or CLTs, and 2 CVs. With this formation you only need to fight Nodes A and H before reaching the boss. Using Diamond formation at Node H also reduces the chances of enemy ships targeting your flagship.

- You must sink the Boss Standard Carrier Wo-class Kai Flagship 5 times to clear the map.
- Clearing this map rewards 1 medal and 200 points for ranking. The boss HP bar is reset at midnight of the beginning of each month, allowing the reward to be obtained again.
- Nodes C, H, K and M are night battles.
- Having 4 ships capable of equipping Drum Canisters (DD/CL/CAV) and a total of 5 Drum Canisters will take you to node B. Other compositions will always take you to node A.
- Fleet with 3 SS or more will take you to node F, where there are enemy CLs and DDs with ASW.
- Fleet with only fast ships will take you to node D. It is possible to bring slow ships if the fleet has 2 CV and 1 CVL. Other compositions will take you to node C, where you will meet 6 enemy SS in night battle.
- Saiun are not usually recommended. Red T can help you a lot in reaching the boss safely.
- The recommended fleet composition is 3 BB, 2 CV and 1 CVL for maximum firepower and survivability.
- There is a sub at the boss node. Getting S rank at the boss is possible, but not recommended. It is advisable to ignore the sub and just settle for an A or B rank.
- Using submarines in the map (3 BB 3 SS) taking you to A-F-G-N is possible. 3+ SS gets you to node F but more than 3 SS gets you to node H instead of N.
- This map is one of the more difficult extra operation, therefore full-fleet sparkling and both support expeditions are nearly mandatory.
