* 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.)

** If doing the Myoukou fleet monthly (BM1) or any similar quest where guaranteed routing to H is impossible, it might be worth it to simply bring CVs and accept ~~that you will be routed~~ to I

~~Using these~~

The standard guaranteed routing for this map involves 2 DDs, 2 CVLs, and 2 CAs '''or''' 2 CAVs ('''not''' 1 CA 1 CAV). Aside from routing, this setup also ensures a powerful opening strike (only 70 FP is needed for AS+); the only realistic chance of a retreat here will be posed by the Ru-flag at E node.

Line 41: Line 41:

* 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.

+

** It is not necessary to bring specialised night equipment for this node, a star shell may offer limited value, but a searchlight may be outright detrimental.

* 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

~~'''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.
