*E to D or G is random.
*If 1 CV with 5DD (or 4DD 1CL), you won't lose air superiority to the enemy in the pre boss node, you will take much less crit in this way. The downside is you may fail to kill the boss if your ASW gears are bad, your ships are damaged or you get a poor engagement modifier, as no BB means no second attack for your ships.
*If 1 BB instead of 1 CV, you might want to consider using a BBV with your best seaplanes to enable ASW.
*An alternative is using 2DD, 2CL, 1 BB, 1 CV. This is a high risk high reward setup and only works if you have high leveled DDs or CLs (Recommended Verniy, the Kai 2s, Yukikaze or Shimakaze followed with Izusu and Yuubari). This setup is not a 100% chance to get to the Boss node but the chances are still high, and you may find yourself retreating often. However, If you manage to survive to the Boss node, it can be easily defeated and get a S score.
