Tips

  • 2CA/CAV to guarantee sortie start->A, and H -> I (boss) route
  • 2DD for C to H.
  • As such, 2CA2DD2XX guarantees boss routing
  • 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
    • Equipping at least one ship for a preemptive anti-sub attack may assist with clearing the latter nodes by eliminating the lone sub, leaving all ships to focus on the surface ships during shelling phase.
  • 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.
    • This is risky, however, as the other 25% runs into heavy enemy fleets, refreshing may be in order.

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 nodes en route to the boss are night battles only, so there is no point bringing preboss support fleets on this map (support fleets only arrive in day battle nodes).
  • 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...
A major consideration in forming a fleet is the presence of the submarine at the boss
  • Alternatively, you could utilize Akitsu Maru for air superiority. Note that since she is a slow ship, you need to use an all-fast fleet anymore. However, you will have a high chance of going to the dangerous submarine node.
One such setup would be Akitsu Maru+2BB+1CA(V)+2DD.
  • It's also possible to use a submarine-only (5/6SS) fleet; this fleet can get to pre-boss rather easily, accepting a D loss at node B. However, it also has a high chance of being offrouted to node J from the penultimate node I. Nonetheless, this option is very light on the resources and worth a try if one has the time to wait for short repairs.
A modified version of this uses 4SS(V)+2DD; if the DDs survive node I, boss routing is guaranteed. However, non-ASW capable ships will focus on them, making this an extremely risky (if cheap) choice.
In all cases, bringing a boss support expedition is an option, as the support fleet can greatly damage or even outright destroy the enemy Wa-Class Elite.
  • Equipment:
  • Despite all nodes being night-battle only, it is not recommended to bring night-battle cut-in setups (e.g. torpedo setups) on any ship. Enemies faced in this map can still be easily sunk by less-powerful but far more reliable double attack setups.
  • Unless you are using Akitsu Maru, there is almost no reason to use recon seaplanes (with the exception of the night recon plane) since you will always be at Air Denial.
  • It's also possible to get AP or AS with seaplane bombers, but this would result in those ships carrying seaplane bombers targeting the submarine at the boss first, which can be highly problematic. It is therefore not recommended to use seaplane bombers.
  • Now that seaplane fighters (e.g. Ro.44 Seaplane Fighter) recieve fighter veterancy, taking AP or even AS with CAVs and/or Littorio-Class FBBs is now possible at the boss, though such a setup carries the risks of unfavorable routing to F and high costs of bringing the FBB.
  • Avoiding the use of seaplane bombers, two seaplane fighters will secure AP (47 FP required), three will take AS (71 FP required). Such a setup would entail two red guns, a seaplane fighter, and a recon plane (not a seaplane bomber) on each CAV and the FBB.
  • Searchlight holders have a higher chance to be targeted and also to be hit, possibly increasing the odds of having to retreat.
  • While it will work at the enroute nodes, Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout) will never activate at the boss under air denial conditions.
  • 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.
  • Contrary to popular belief that a Red-T will help you avoid being damaged, a Red-T might work against you by preventing [Combat#Player_Damage_Taken|overkill protection] on ships.
  • The recommended fleet composition is 2FBB 4CV or 1FBB 5CV for maximum firepower and survivability.
  • Bringing your best possible maxed torpedo bombers and fighters is highly recommended.
  • 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.
  • A fleet of 3SS+BB+2CV is also possible, allowing
  • This map is one of the more difficult extra operation, therefore full-fleet sparkling and both support expeditions are nearly mandatory.
