  • You must sink the Boss 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.
    • The enemy composition at the boss node will be locked into either formation 5 or 6 after clearing. If you are planning on clearing any quests that require you to clear 5-5 with an A/S-Rank, it is recommended that you attempt these quests after clearing 5-5 for the month, as the post-clear boss compositions are significantly less dangerous than the pre-clear comps. The fleet composition restrictions for most of these quests mean that your fleet will face some difficulty in defeating the pre-clear comps, particularly after the buff to the Southern War Princess in Winter 2019 Event (who does not appear at all in post-clear comps).
      • This is especially true if said quests require 2DDs, as DDs will face difficulty in dealing any significant damage to the pre-clear boss comps during the daytime battle
      • Please note that Submarine Yo-Class at the boss node will be in Elite form post-clear, so a dedicated OASW ship must be brought if one wishes to secure a S-rank.
  • As with all World 5 maps, support expeditions 33 and 34 are applicable on this map.
  • Node B is a submarine node.
  • Nodes G and M are night battles.

Tips

  • 5-5 is one of the few maps that has arguably become more difficult after the Phase 2 update.
    • 2 of the pre-clear boss compositions now contain 2 Elite Re-class Abyssals.
    • The Southern War Princess has also gained additional armour followed by Winter 2019 Event
      • Her escort has been slightly weakened to compensate for this. The Submarine in her escort has been changed from an Elite variant to a basic variant.
    • The addition of CL Tsu-class to multiple nodes has also made the map potentially more costly in terms of bauxite.
    • Pre-boss Node P still has the chance of containing an Elite Re-class in Line Ahead.
    • Depending on your choice of ships (and also dependent on engagement modifiers & enemy fleet formation), bulges equipped in Reinforcement Expansion slots may improve survivability against opening torpedoes.
    • Support Expedition(s) may help as well.
  • However, routing to the boss is now guaranteed with the correct composition(s) and sufficient LoS. Speed is also no longer a major factor in determining routing.
  • The special attack (Touch mechanic) from Nelson Kai, Nagato Kai Ni and Mutsu Kai Ni are also a good option to consider if you want to clear out enemies at the boss node easier.


Recommended Fleet

  • North : B-K-P-S or B-F-J-P-S: 4 (F)BB(V)/CV(L/B) + 2 XX
    • LoS required: ≥ 81 F33 Cn2
    • Maximum of 4 (F)BB(V)/CV(L/B), otherwise chance of off-routing at pre-boss node P.
    • Routing B->K or B->F will depend on your fleet. Fleet with either 3CV(B) or 4(F)BB(V)s will always go to K, otherwise will go to F as long as you have 2 DDs.
    • F is a choice node. For the above fleet, routing to J is recommended as D is a maelstrom node, and fleet comp will route to P after H anyway.
    • CAVs can help provide additional fighter power, allowing for optimized set-ups on CVs.
    • Ise Kai Ni is another option if additional fighter power is needed. However, keep in mind that she is significantly weaker in terms of firepower compared to almost every other battleship.
    • Seaplane Bombers should not be used in smaller slots due to the potential presence of multiple Light Cruiser Tsu-Class along this route.
  • Middle : B-F-D-H-N-O-S: 2 (F)BB(V) + 2 CA(V) + 2 DD
    • LoS required: ≥ 67 F33 Cn2
    • Easier preboss, but will struggle against the double Re Elite boss node formations
    • CAV can be replaced with CLT (Maximum 1 CLT)
    • D node is a maelstrom node that wipe out your fuel. Recommended to bring some radars to reduce the loss.
  • South : A-C-E-G-I-M-O-S: 2 [(F)BB(V)+CV(B/L)] + 4 DD
    • LoS required: ≥ 67 F33 Cn2
    • The first battle is a relatively easy enemy torpedo squadron, but the next two battles are fairly dangerous night battles
      • Pre-boss support shelling expeditions can help stabilize the night battles significantly
    • Fleets that take this route will struggle significantly against the double Re Elite boss node formations
    • Generally lower bauxite consumption when compared to other routes
