Grunilgs Notes

Phase 1: Defeating Licoris

• Fleet: Fast STF with 2FBB 3CA(V)/CL + CA CL 4DD or 2FBB 3CA(V) AV + CA CL 4DD

• Route: A-C-G-K-N-S-X, with C being a submarine node, G an airstrike node, N a light surface engagement, S a night battle node and X the combined fleet installation boss

• LBAS: 6 Waves of AD/AP to Node X

• Notes: Use Vanguard formation on the night battle node, it should mitigate most damage. Libcoris is vulnerable to T3 shells and LBAS, it is recommended to take T3 shells. She is also accompanied by two Supply Depot Hime, so taking a Nuke-setup in the main fleet is recommended. There are also PT Imps present at that node. Air superiority is optional, as are supports.

Phase Whatever: Defeat Abyssal SoDak

(this is assuming the second boss has been unlocked and debuffed and the shortcut is present. This fleet should also apply to the chipping phase)

• Fleet: Fast STF with 3(F)BB(V) 3CA(V)/AV/CL + CA CL 4DD

• Route: A-C-K-N-S-Y, Node Types see above

• LBAS: 6 Waves of 4LBAA or 3LBAA + LBAS Recon to Y.

• Notes: Abyssal South Dakota is accompanied by a lot of Sponge and new Na-Class Destroyers capable of Opening Torpedo attacks in the escort fleet. 2-4 historical TCI are recommended to be present in the Escort fleet, as are means to ensure their proc rate (Searchlight, Flares, Skilled lookouts in RE). If you are taking a searchlight with you, you might want to consider putting that ship into the 4th slot of the escort fleet to tank on Node S and equip them with a damagecon (LD only). The main Fleet will benefit from having a special attack like Nelson Touch or Colorado Broadside incorporating the Bonus ships Hiei and Kirishima into it for extra damage. T3 shells deal Bonus damage to the boss, but equipping Hiei and Kirishima with APCI will still be more beneficial. Only one SPF in the main fleet is needed to ensure AS+ on all nodes. Boss Support is recommended, Node support (Either ASW or Shelling Support) is optional.

• Editors note: Preserving Chevrons: If you are at LD and see that a failure is imminent and you dont want to lose your LBAS chevrons to the very high enemy AA on this node you can forfeit your drop on this node by refreshing the game page before the battle result screen is loaded. This will still have you pay the Bauxite and repair costs, but you save time as max proficiency LBAA has higher hit and crit rate which are needed on this boss.
