==Map Overview==
 +
E5 is a striking force, and combined fleet five-phase map, consisting of one transport and four boss phases.
 +
* 3 [[LBAS]] are available to sortie on this map.
 +
**Initially, no LBAS is available,
 +
**After Phase 1, all can be set on Sortie,
 +
**After Phase 3, the LBAS is relocated closer to the final boss.
 +
 +
* This map uses 2 locks:

** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 7.png|40px]] '''Rabaul Support''', Starting point 1 (striking),

** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 9.png|40px]] '''MO Mobile Fleet''', Starting point 3 (combined).

==Phase 5 - Boss==

CTF fleets usually bring the best firepower against the boss. However, the Fast+ STF advantageous shelling order makes it a better choice in most cases, especially to pass node {{MapRoute|Z|red}}.

* LBAS range: 6

* If [[Yamato]] is being used for this phase, the fleet requires 2 CA, 2 CL, and 4 DD to take the best route.

** In addition to having 2 BB MAX.
 +
* Bringing [[AACI]] is strongly recommended.
 +
 +
* Using a [[Special Attack]] is highly recommended.

*It is recommended to send 1 LBAS on submarine node {{MapRoute|M1|red}}, and 2 LBAS on the boss.

*Node {{MapRoute|Z|red}} is extremely tough to pass, and may require to either use:
 +
**The {{IconText|{{CommandFacility}}|FCF}} {{Equipment/Link|Fleet Command Facility|text=FCF}} can help increase the reach rate,
 +
**The special attack here instead of the boss.

** Using {{Smoke}} [[Smoke]]s can help to pass through the node.
