In this path, your best methods of tackling this map is to bring either a '''Transport Combined Fleet''' or a '''Surface Task Force'''. Each combined fleet hss thier own unique path and challenges you'll face along the way torward your first target on the map. Below will be a summary of each comp that makes up each of the combined fleets and what you'll expect from them.

'''Transport Combined Fleet Method'''
<tabber>
|-| AO Themed Comp=
* Composition: '''1 AO 1 BBV/CV(E) 4DD + 1CL 3DD 2CA(V)'''
* Path: '''E-G-H-K-M'''
* Shortest Path and will also allow you to bring the strongest possible comp to the boss node.
* You will encounter 1 Submarine Node and 1 Surface Battle
* Bringing 1-2 OASW in the fleet is recommended to improve you success rate against the subs on higher difficulties.
* Surface Battle will consist of CLs, CAs, and DDs.
* The main difficult part is the ordering of which the enemy fleet will attack as your escorts will go first, otherwise it's still manageable.
*Since all nodes have 0 air power, a single fighter/zuiun/Seaplane fighter is more than enough to get Air Supuremacy accross all nodes.
* Can also double as a means to collect fuel (if you are willing to assemble a daihatsu fleet and not mind getting hit to moderate damage in some occasions.
|-|Akitsushima Comp=
* Composition: '''[[Akitsushima]] 1 CVE 4DD + 1CL 3DD 2CA(V)'''
* Path: '''E-G-H-K-M'''
* Shortest Path
* You will encounter 1 Submarine Node and 1 Surface Battle
* Bringing 1-2 OASW in the fleet is recommended to improve you success rate against the subs on higher difficulties.
* Surface Battle will consist of CLs, CAs, and DDs.

|-|CVE Themed Comp=
* Composition: ''1 CVE 1CL 4DD + 1CL 3DD 2CA(V)'''
* Path: '''E-G-J-M'''
* Will have you face 3 battles.
* You will encounter 1 Submarine Node and 2 Surface Battle
* Bringing 1-2 OASW in the fleet is recommended to improve you success rate against the subs on higher difficulties.
* Both Surface Battle will consist of CLs, CAs, and DDs.
* The main difficult part is the ordering of which the enemy fleet will attack as your escorts will go first, otherwise it's still manageable.
*Since all nodes have 0 air power, a single fighter/zuiun/Seaplane fighter is more than enough to get Air Supuremacy accross all nodes.

'''Surface Task Force Method'''
<tabber>
|-|2CA(V) 2DD 1CVL 1CL/CLT Comp=
* Path: '''I-J-L-P-Q-R'''
* Standard comp that '''DOES NOT''' go through the shortcut should you decide not to unlock it
* You will encounter 2 Air Attack Nodes and 2 Surface Battle Nodes before reaching the boss
* For the Air Nods, use Diamond formation and have a CVL that's a fighter mule along with AACI DD.
*If you have some of the better planes, a CVL can easily get 110 AP 1 Fighter and 1 Fighter Bomber which you only need at minimum which is considered suitable enough to susive the air attacks. You can then use the other spots for torpedo bombers.
* For the Surface Fleet, use Line Ahead or Vanguard Formation to take out or evade most of the enemies attacks and survive depending on what you bring.
|-|1FBB/CVL 1CLT/CA(V)/CL 4DD=
*Route: '''I-J-S-P-Q-R'''
* Ths comp will allow you to take the shortcut if you completed Step 1a's process.
* A '''Fast Fleet" is required to take this path.
*Going through the shortcut and skipping one air raid node, also enabling second shelling at the boss node for higher chance of disabling the closing torpedo salvo from enemies
***However, your fleet will become very light due to the presence of 4DDs, may cause higher retreat pre-boss
*If you have some of the better planes, a CVL can easily get 110 AP 1 Fighter and 1 Fighter Bomber which you only need at minimum which is considered suitable enough to susive the air attacks. You can then use the other spots for torpedo bombers.
* For the Surface Fleet, use Line Ahead or Vanguard Formation to take out or evade most of the enemies attacks and survive depending on what you bring.
