===Preparation===
This this map is not a particularly difficult map, but it is fairly long and tedious. In total, you need at least 2 CVL, 1CL (ideally [[Jintsuu]]), 5DD (ideally bonus DDs, see below), 0-2 SS(V), and 1 CAV/AV (preferably Fast or with RE).

In addition to this the main question you need to ask yourself is:

If you said yes to both of this, your more or less ready to do Hard. Otherwise the all other difficulties can be handled as long as you have the approipate ships.

Also note that there are several LoS checks on this map: Nodes C, F, J, Q, T (possibly), and Z4. Generally, 12+ LoS Cn1 should suffice for all nodes, although the requirement may be lower for fleets with <6 ships.

Also because this map will only use 2 of 3 land bases, it's recommended that your 3rd Land base take up full defensive measures by being equipped with all interceptors and rocket interceptors (prefferably 2 or more)

===Phase 1: Unlocking the path to Kolombangara===
In this phase you will be organizing both a single and combined fleet to undertake tasks across the map. Depending on the difficulty, you will need to complete certain steps depending on the task. A summary of the requirements are listed below:

===Phase 2: Defeat Abyssal Jintsuu ( [[Light Cruiser Princess]] )===
In this phase your fleet will have to go through the same path they took earlier to reach Node Y where they will need to fight off against the [[Light Cruiser Princess]]. [[Jintsuu]] is highly recommended for this section as she can in most occasions take out the princess in a single attack in night battle. The rest of your DDs will be there to mostly pick off the pack to allow [[Jintsuu]] to finish her off. Below is the recommended fleet for this segment:

The [[Light Cruiser Princess]] will have a fleet of mainly CLs and DD with a Na-class possibly popping up among her fleet in hard mode armed with an opening Torpedo strike. If you use land base, you should eliminate before most of the threats with little trouble. And then ride on [[Jintsuu]] or another historical DD to pull the win. However, at Last Dance she will come with 2 Na-classes and 2 Tsu-class in two making her difficult to defeat. If nessary, assemble a support fleet to wipe out the other ships and leave the Princess to be eliminated in night battle.
