While it isn't necessary to go through both paths, it's recommended to at least try it once as beating Node I will contribute to a later part of the mission requirements.

On this path your surface task force fleet will have to travel through some sub fleet consisting of the [[New Submarine Princess]] which can be a possible issue unless confront them in a line abreast formation or you use a LBAS consisting of ASW plane to help take out subs. Following this, you will encouter a carrier fleet which depending on the difficulty will require you to have relatively high fighter power to either maintain or overcome the air power. A high plane capacity carrier like [[Intrepid]] or similar are preferred or bringing 2 CVL in your fleet. Finally, you'll encounter a Surface fleet consisting of battleships, torpedo cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers which should be easily manage under normal Surface Task Force conditions.

In this difficulty, you will need everything you can possibly throw at the boss to ensure the greatest chances of success in battle. Your equipment will need to be well modified and prepared so that your ships can attack all enemy units effectively and maximize the damage you can deliver upon them. Bring a Sub can be risky since the earlier battles presents great dangers that can potentially risk the sub sinking in battle, so if you choose this path, bring in route support to minimize your sub's risk of sinking. Boss support is also highly recommended as they will be needed to help eliminate of take out certain enemy units in the in battle along with the assistance of your LBAS.
