Sandbox/Spring 2021 E-2

Sandbox Rules

This sandbox is to be used to construct an event guide for the above mentioned event map. These guides are to all of the following requirements:

• List of branching unlocking requirements (If there are multiple requirements, compositions for each path along with the below requirements will be needed to discuss the unlocking requirements in question)

• A list of working compositions that work: (These must have possible alternatives for players who may or may not have all ships needed for a specific path)

• The Path said composition will take (To explain what path the composition will take)

• A summary or description of what kind of obstacles a composition will face.

• A description of the boss node, what it consist and a descriptive guide on what the player should consider for a course of action to successfully win the battle.

• (Optional) Tips to farm to take path to collect certain ships (This will also require a composition, path, and possible description.

Editors are to construct thier own version of thier guide and complete them in a timely fashion.

No other editors are to allowed to edit over other editor's work without the full consent of the editor and his approval to do so.

Several version will be constructed through this page and will be reviewed and approved by the staff/ collaboration committee before being moved for the Summer 2020 Event which it'll be reviewed and updated once more before it can be released.

Overall there will be 3 version of the guide that will be constructed which will include:

• Preliminary Guide
• Polished Guide
• Finalized Guide

With each approval of each version the guide, the said guide will be updated to the main page and construction of the next version will begin.

All guides outside of the approved version will be removed and work will begin from the approved version to make it better for the next version until the finalized version is made.

Projected deadline for Initial guide: May 12th, 12:01 JST (May get extended by 1 day if massive delays occur)

==Darkheron's Proposal (Consolidated from various sources)

General Information

• There will be 2 different tags presented for this map.
  • Blue Tag: 3rd Fleet (Combined Fleet)
  • Purple Tag: 6th Fleet (Single Fleet)

Phase 1: TP Phase

This phase will require you to run a Single Fleet to deplete the TP bar at Q, consisting of a Ne-Class Kai and light escorts

• Recommended Fleet: 1 CL 1 CAV/AV 4 DD
• Route: A B E H J Q
• LBAS Range: 5 Range and no Air Power at the boss
• Notes: Support expeditions are optional. You can use vanguard formations to get through the surface nodes. It is also possible to run a full 6 SS fleet to deplete TP phase. However, the amount of TP drain per run will be very low, requiring more runs to be taken.

Phase 1.5: Unlock the route to Node U

Unlocking U has two requirements:

• Reach C
  • Composition: 1SS You can equip a damege control fairy on your submarine in case of taiha on F
  • Route: A B D F C
  • LBAS: n/A
• S rank P twice
  • Composition: 2 FBB 2 CV 2 CA + 1 CL 5 DD (Fast Carrier Task Force)
  • Route: G K M N P
  • Alternatively, you can use a single fleet comprised of 3 CV(L), 2 (FBB or CA(V)), and a DD with a maximum of 2 CV to route G K N P
  • LBAS: Range 7, AP/AS on Hard: 124/279

Phase 2: Defeat CA Hime at Node U

You can use the same fleet you used for the unlocking phase reaching Node P. This can be done with either a Single Fleet or a Combined Fleet

• Recommended Fleet: CTF Fleet consists of 2 CV 2 FBB 2 CA + 1 CL 5 DD OR Single Fleet: 3CV(L), (2FBB or CA(V)), and DD with 2 CV Maximum
• Route: G K M N P T U OR G K N P T U
• LBAS Range: 6 there's no air at the boss
• Notes: Since this comp and routing you are taking, you will be facing 3 Air raid nodes. Have 1 AACI DD if possible to minimized the chance for taiha. The single fleet composition skipped through 1 node vs if take the combined fleet. Both fleets have the same ship locks
  • Support Expedition is not needed.

Phase 3: Defeat CV Hime at Node ZII

• Recommended Fleet: 6 SS (Yes I'm dead serious)
  • It is also possible to run a Surface Single Fleet. However, you will have to take the longer route.
• Route: W Z ZI ZII
• LBAS Range: 8 Range
• Notes: Node Support is required to help you pass through the 2 surface battle node using the Submarine Strategy. If your subs are high level and remodel, it is possible to not run a support expedition.
  • Boss Support expedition is optional if you have strong LBAS and send them all to the boss.

General Guidelines

E-2 is a 3.5 Phase Map with the 6th Fleet (Purple) and 3rd Fleet (Blue) Lock Tags consisting of two HP Phases and a Transport Phase as well as an unlock. Two bases of Land Based Aerial Support (LBAS) is available to sortie on this Map.

Using a (F)BB(V), CLT or CV(L/B) and/or Combined Fleet any type will lead you to the northern start, applying the 3rd Fleet Tag. Single Submarine Fleets and those consisting of only light ships (CL/CA/AV/DD) will use the two southern start points, applying the 6th Fleet Tag.

Phase 1: XXX

Summary

• Recommended Fleet: XX (Speed Fleet)
• Route: Y Y Y Y Y
• LBAS: Range X, Airpower
• Additional Notes: Supports?
