*Followed by "air support enemies" (1-2 CVL so far), bringing an air assault like in "air raid nodes", and that cannot be attacked, being visually behind the rest of the enemy fleet and with no visible HP.

|Boss Nodes are the Ending point of a map's route and are where the map's boss resides, if it has one. After the Boss Node battle ends, the sortie automatically finishes and the player fleet returns to Homeport. Boss nodes can be of any kind of battle node, meaning they can be a Night to Day Node, Night Battle Node, or a Battle Node.
