**Use of DE is an option as well, but due to their poor firepower and defensive stats, they may have trouble surviving Node G.

**Fixed routing towards the boss, routes '''DEGHK'''

**Use of a Light Cruiser capable of opening attacks against surface ships is an option for Node G .

*1CL, 4DD/DE '''(exactly 5 ships, no more)'''

***Opening torpedo attack (Abukuma Kai Ni or Yura Kai Ni)

**Route (fixed) = {{MapRoute|D|red|E|green|G|red|H|red|K|red}}

***Opening airstrike via Seaplane Seaplane Bombers (e.g. Remodeled Agano-class)

**Use of a [[EliteCL|Light Cruiser]] capable of opening attacks against surface ships is an option for Node {{MapRoute|G|red}}.

**Bringing Destroyers capable of OASW is highly advised (100 ASW stat or built-in capability).

***[[Opening Torpedo Salvo]].

***If ASW stat is high enough to reach OASW without three equipments, or if the ship has built-in OASW capability, mixing surface combat equipment and ASW equipment together can help stabilize the surface battle at Node G.

*'''Fleet that has only 4 ships''' : (e.g '''3 CLT 1 CL / 2 CL 2 CLT''', etc...)

**Bringing [[EliteDD|Destroyers]] capable of OASW is highly advised (100 ASW stat or built-in capability).

**Can also reach the Boss Node, but have a chance to off-route into dead-end instead.

**Do not bring AO as you will be directed to node I instead of the boss node.

 

'''Fleets that have only 4 ships''' :  

*e.g '''3CLT, 1CL / 2CL, 2CLT / 4DD/DE''', etc...)

*Can also reach the Boss Node, but have a chance to off-route into dead-ends instead ({{MapRoute|I|green}} or {{MapRoute|J|blue}}).

*Do not bring AO as you will be directed to node {{MapRoute|I|green}} instead of the boss node.
