===Tips===
There are three routes to the boss node, in no particular order, they are
* '''South route (B→E→(H)→L)''':
* '''South route, 4 battles (B→E→I→L)''':
* '''North route, 3 battles (A→D→H→L)''':
** Only two battles before the boss node\
** '''Recommended fleet compositions''': 2CA/CAV 2DD 2CVL; 2CA/CAV 2DD 1CLT 1CVL; 1CL 2DD 3CVL
*** No BB(V) or CV allowed
*** 2 CA/CAV and 2DD give guaranteed branching for this route, however, alternatives such as 4CA2CVL or 3CA3CVL exist (but those fleets can offroute to F)
*** 2 CAs or 2 CAVs are required, one of each can cause offrouting to I
** Pros:
*** Fairly cheap
*** Low AS requirement allows for a large opening airstrike
*** Guaranteed boss routing
** Cons:
*** 2 DDs needed for guaranteed branching
** Three battles before the boss node
** '''Recommended fleet compositions''': 4FBB 2CV; 1(F)BB(V) 3CA(V) 2CV
*** Heavy fleets can offroute to the dead-end node F
** Pros:
*** Strong chance of successfully killing the boss
*** Low chance of being forced to retreat
** Cons:
*** Chance of getting sent off course
*** Extremely expensive
** Only two battles before the boss node. The second node is a night battle node
** '''Recommended fleet composition''': 2CAV 3CA(V) 1CLT; 4DD, 1CL, 1CA with a destroyer as flagship for Monthly [[Quests#Bm7|Bm7]].
*** No BB(V)s or CV(L)s are allowed.
*** If not using 4DD or 3DD+1CL, two ships need to be each equipped with a [[Drum Canister]] each in order to guarantee going to node A
*** CLTs are allowed, using [[Abukuma Kai Ni]] also allows you to add on an additional opening torpedo with no penalty
*** North route (including boss node) doesn't have any enemy carriers, so it's possible to get AS+ with just seaplane bombers, enabling Artillery Spotting
*** Double attack setups (both day and night) are recommended for consistency
*** Consider bringing [[Star Shell]], [[Searchlight]] and/or [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)]] to make the night battle and boss node easier.
** Pros:
*** Relatively cheap, especially if using destroyers
*** Relatively easier at lower levels
** Cons:
*** High leveled ships are required
*** Night battle node can force retreats easily, especially at high levels.
;'''Monthly Quest: "Surface Counterattack Fleet" Charge!" (Bm7) Advice:'''
* The main consideration for this quest is achieving the required LoS of about 60 with 4DDs in the fleet (or 33 LOS using the LOS33 formula).
** Your DDs will probably need radars to add LoS and therefore are unlikely to equip any night battle equipment. Try balancing between ships that can provide high firepower ([[Yuudachi|Yuudachi Kai Ni]], [[Ayanami|Ayanami Kai Ni]])and ships that has good base LoS ([[Akatsuki|Akatsuki Kai Ni]]).
* For your CL, good options can be either [[Abukuma|Abukuma Kai Ni]], [[Jintsuu|Jintsuu Kai Ni]], or [[Ooyodo]]/[[Yuubari]]. It is recommended to equip a seaplane or two on your CL, as seaplanes contribute much more LoS than radars do, contributing twice their nominal value while radars only contribute their nominal value.
** Abukuma comes with a strong opening torpedo, which gives her the highest total damage output of any CL in the game
** Jintsuu has the highest shelling potential of all CLs, and gets much stronger if [[Zara]] is used
** Ooyodo has the highest base LoS among all CLs, and comes with a fourth slot to carry an extra seaplane
** Yuubari is an option in the absence of Ooyodo, as she can carry seaplanes in her fourth slot to add LoS (see above), [http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%C6%EE%C0%BE%BD%F4%C5%E7%B3%A4%B0%E8#rd2a2bfe despite having 0 plane slots].
* Options for CAs can be a Myoukou-class Kai Ni, [[Choukai|Choukai Kai Ni]], Zara-class, or pre-K2 Tone-class.
** [[Zara]] or [[Pola]] are arguably the most recommended CAs for this quest as they can carry seaplane bombers to gain Air Superiority at the two daytime nodes.
*** Although the only beneficiaries of artillery spotting are the Zara-class themselves (Abukuma does not benefit from arty spotting), their artillery spotting (about 50% of the time) alone allows their damage output to exceed even Choukai.
*** Do note that their innate LoS is lower, and that seaplane bombers confer less LoS than recon seaplanes. Ensure that you can obtain the required LoS before placing them in.
** Myoukou-class Kai Nis and Choukai Kai Ni are all-round excellent CAs, with great innate LoS along with excellent offensive and defensive stats.
**If you don't have either of those groups and are struggling to meet LoS requirements, the unremodelled Tone-Class have the highest LoS stats of all standard CAs.
