There are three routes to the boss node, from northmost to southmost, they are
* '''North route A-D-(H)-L'''
* '''North route A-D-(H)-L'''
* '''South route 1: B-E-(H)-L'''
* '''South route 2: B-E-I-L'''

* The main factor to consider when choosing between the north route and one of the south routes will be the night battle node D (which varies with HQ level) against the Ru-Flag at E (on all HQ levels)

'''South route (B-E-(H)-L) and (B-E-I-L)'''
'''South route B-E-(H)-L and B-E-I-L'''
* The difference between the two south routes is having to route through the battle node I, which includes a Wo-Kai (or Flag-wo
* The difference between the two south routes is having to route through the battle node I, which includes a Wo-Kai (or Flag-wo below HQ 100)
* Do not overestimate the Wo-Kai, it is a strong enemy, but it is the much weaker base variant and is far less accurate than the far stronger Wo-Kai IV seen in events. (12 less accuracy)
* While the Wo-Kai at node I is a strong enemy, it is the much weaker base Wo-Kai, and not the Wo-Kai Type IV often seen in events. (12 less accuracy, less FP, weaker airstrike, etc.)
'''North route (A-D-(H)-L'''
'''North route A-D-(H)-L'''
The north route necessitates either a drum-carrying fleet or a light fleet.
* There are three primary issues this fleet faces, one at each node.
* Node A has a formation with Chi-flag CLTs at HQ 100+, which are a threat to lighter ships especially in the absence of a second shelling phase.
** Sub HQ 100, this node can still be dangerous to lower-levelled ships.
*The night battle Node D has the possibility of a Ri-Kai at HQ 90+
** At lower HQ levels, Node D is somewhat easier. Nonetheless, although only the Ri-classes are capable of performing special night attacks, a single attack from a He-flag (48+80) is a significant threat to a DD.
*Lastly comes the boss node L, with at least 3 BBs. If you have opted for a DD-heavy fleet, a night battle is almost certainly required
