*There are two main routes available to reach the boss: north and south.
**North route is occupied with [[Standard Carrier Wo-Class]] Flagship IV, and [[Battleship Ta-Class]] Flagship, with high evasion and accuracy. They can potentially damage any of your ships on the way to the boss if not evaded.
**North route contains {{Enemy/Link|Standard Carrier Wo-Class Flagship IV}} and {{Enemy/Link|Battleship Ta-Class Flagship}} with high evasion and accuracy.
***Node {{MapRoute|C|red}} also has a pattern with 1-2 Enemy SS, sometimes in Line Ahead. You are recommended to go Line Abreast against this Node (BBs or CVs can handle all Surface Enemies in the Node even in this formation), and bring [[OASW]] DDs to deal with them.
***Node {{MapRoute|C|red}} can also contain 1-2 {{Enemy/Link|Submarine Ka-Class Elite}}, sometimes in Line Ahead. It is recommended to go Line Abreast against this Node (BBs and CVs can handle all Surface Enemies in the Node even in this formation), and bring [[OASW]] DDs to deal with the submarines.

*No matter which route you take, [[Light Cruiser Tsu-Class]] will nearly show up everywhere in this map. Therefore, If you are using a composition with CVs and go north, you are recommended to use ones with high slots capacity, and place bombers only in the highest capacity slots on your CVs to avoid all of your bombers getting shot down to 0 by the time you reach the Boss Node.

*As with every map in World 5, [[Support Expedition]]s are available to assist with clearing. This can be especially useful for completing more difficult quests.

*'''<font color="red">After clearing, the boss node will no longer contain {{Enemy/Link|Battleship Ta-Class Flagship}} nor {{Enemy/Link|Destroyer Ha-Class Late Model}}</font>'''
**When arriving via the '''southern route''', the boss node additionally will not contain {{Enemy/Link|Heavy Cruiser Ne-Class Elite}}
**This can make the southern route a viable leveling spot as transport node {{MapRoute|J|purple}} and boss node {{MapRoute|P|red}} each give a significant amount of experience
