Fatigue is a hidden statistic within the game. Each ship has their own fatigue value. It ranges from 0 to 100 and has various boosts and penalties associated with it.
Morale (also known as "Fatigue") is a hidden statistic within the game. Each ship has their own morale value. It ranges from 0 to 100 and has various boosts and penalties associated with it.
A high value of fatigue can be seen as an actual lack of fatigue. A value above 50 is commonly known as the "Sparkle" effect.
A high value of morale can be seen as an actual lack of morale. A value above 50 is commonly known as the "Sparkle" effect.
Morale regenerates at 3 points every 3 minutes (like Fuel, Steel and Ammo) and this regeneration is capped at 49 points, where it will simply stop regenerating.

Above 50, the ship generates a "Sparkle" on its image. This state of fatigue improves performance in general and has a chance to produce the "Great Success" from expeditions. There is no data to suggest that a value '''higher '''than 50 (The first threshold on which the Sparkle Effect appears) boosts performance further than 50.

There is currently no proof that ships will sink more easily under a low fatigue state. Given the performance cut they get, it is, however, not advisable to take them to battle like that in general.

#Returning to base after a sortie always incurs a 15 point loss. It does not matter if you finished the map in any way, were forced to retreat because your flagship was reduced to red health or you withdrew manually, the loss is always 15 points. This loss is subtracted from each ship '''after '''points gained during sortie were added. This makes the maximum possible fatigue 85.

#Returning to base after an expedition causes a 3 point loss which is only relevant if the ship has above 50 Fatigue points as the natural regeneration of even the shortest expedition would be 15 points. At maximum fatigue (85, for practical purposes) it is possible to run 12 expeditions before the sparkle effect vanishes.

#Battle Ranks: A Complete Victory (Regular S Rank. Not Perfect Victory, which is S Rank + No damage taken) boosts Fatigue of the sortied fleet by 1. Defeat (D Rank) decreases the value by 3 for everyone.

#MVP and Flagship position: MVP grants +10 points to the ship while the Flagship gains +3 points. This stacks, giving a MVP Flagship +13 points. S Rank stacks on this as well, elevating it to +14 points. This applies regardless of battle rank.
#MVP and Flagship position: MVP grants +10 points to the ship while the Flagship gains +3 points. This stacks, giving a MVP Flagship +13 points. S Rank stacks on this as well, elevating it to +14 points. This applies regardless of battle rank.
#Night Battle: Starting a night battle incurs a 2 point loss for the entire fleet. Unconfirmed if this is the case with maps that are Night Battles by default but unlikely.

#Remodel: Remodel resets fatigue to 40 regardless of what it was before

#Repair: Fatigue is reset to 40 after the repair is finished '''but only in the case of Fatigue being 39 or less.'''
#Repair: morale is reset to 40 after the repair is finished '''but only in the case of morale being 39 or less.'''
#Time: Fatigue regenerates up to 49 at a rate of 3 points every 3 minutes. It will never decrease over time naturally, meaning that high (>=50) Fatigue, aka sparkling, will never vanish unless the ship goes on a sortie, expedition or loses a PVP match with D Rank.
#Time: morale regenerates up to 49 at a rate of 3 points every 3 minutes. It will never decrease over time naturally, meaning that high (>=50) morale, aka sparkling, will never vanish unless the ship goes on a sortie, expedition or loses a PVP match with D Rank.
#HP: At this point there is no information regarding Fatigue loss based on HP lost. However, some loss seems to occur upon losing percentages of maximum HP.

#When a ship with 29 or less Fatigue points is used in a battle Fatigue is further reduced by 6.

Initially you incur -15 Fatigue. As this map has 2 battles you are guaranteed +26 from Flagship + MVP in both nodes. This gives us the base value of +11. This can be modified by Night Battles (Avoid, even if it would boost you from a B or A to an S rank as you would still lose 1 point) and battle ranks. With both S ranks without Night battle, it would be +13 total (Needing a total of 4 runs for 78 morale and 5 runs for 85 morale)

A D rank decreases the points by 3, a night battle by 2. At the absolute worst outcome (Double D rank, double night battle) you would only gain one Fatigue point in total. (-6 for 2x D rank, -4 for 2x Night Battle)

The best way would be to get through with as little damage as possible and repeat 3 (Assuming decent luck and a constant S rank in the first node and no D rank in the last as well as no night battles = +12 average gain per sortie. 12x3 = 36. 36+49 = 85) times, repair in-between as needed.

Just doing the first node will result in -1 Fatigue, even if you perfect S rank it without a night battle. (-15 + 13 + 1 = -1)
