**At least 1 BBV is highly recommended as it is capable of performing ASW while also granting you a second shelling phase.

**At Kai, she's capable of [[Combat#Anti-Sub_Warfare|Pre-emptive ASW attack]] using any ASW plane, making her the most resourceful light carrier to take out submarines on that map.

* 2-4 DD/DE, 0-2 CL capable of [[Combat#Anti-Sub_Warfare|Pre-emptive ASW attack]] is recommended for experienced players since the DD and CL will be able to perform two rounds of ASW attacks without the need for a BBV (useful if you want to save your resources).
**Do not use more than 2 CL (CT and CLT don't count as CLs) in your composition if you are attempting the above set-up, or you ''will'' get routed to I.
*DE can be used in place of DDs for this map and are economically efficient for your resources in the process.
**A full fleet of 4 DE will take a slightly different path (with easier sub enemies) over other compositions, but will still reach the boss node

*This map can now also double for [[Morale_and_Fatigue#Running_1-5|Flagship Sparkling]] for any DD / CL, preferably with [[Combat#Anti-Sub_Warfare|Pre-emptive ASW attack]].

**By doing this, you can basically sparkle your DD while taking far less damage, aside from the occasional bad targeting roll.

**Critically, this levelling method works best '''after''' level 80, as throwaway destroyers without ASW equipment are unable to defeat the armor of the Ka-Elite at node 1, guaranteeing your flag an MVP

**Most importantly, by covering three nodes, you gain far more morale per node than you would from sparkling at 1-1.

** If you plan to use throwaway DDs, be sure to not use DDs you plan to keep/train since you are likely to choose to scrap them afterward the sparkling process.
