→Phase 1.5: Unlock the TP Node
This is not required on lower difficulties. On Hard Mode, you need to A+-Rank Node D consisting of up to 3 Supply Depot Hime, 1-2 Artillery Imps and 2 PT Imps. Set up your Ships with the according equipment to deal with them as outlined [[Anti-Installation#Equipment_Setups|here]]. PT Imps are weak to AA Guns + Skilled Lookouts on your DDs.

* Recommended Fleet: 1FBB 1CA 1CL 1CVL 2DD ('''Slow Fleet''')
<tabber>
* Route: {{MapRoute|B|Red|D|Red}}
|-|Node K=
* LBAS: Range 3, 136 Airpower for AP
* Recommended Fleet: Transport Combined Fleet -1BBV/CVL, 1CL/CAV/AV/LHA, 4DD + 1 CL, 2-5DD, 0-3 DE
* Additional Notes: Support Expeditions are not needed but node support can be used to deal with PT Imps
* Route: {{MapRoute|D|blue|E|blue|F|red|G|red|I|red|K|red}}
* LBAS: Range 5 (K), 166 AD/ 331 AP /744 AS under hardest composition
** All Land Fighters in Land Base 1-2 (3rd LB with same set up optional)
* Notes:
** BBV/CVL and CL/CAV/AV/LHA should be all fighters, preferably the strongest you have
** All methods to reach the node are similar to phase 1.
** Under weaker comps it can be done with mainly two land bases
|-|Node A=
* Recommended Fleet: Single Fleet 4CV
* Route: {{MapRoute|C|blue|B|red|A|red}}
* LBAS: Range 3 (A) 166 AD/ 331 AP/ 744 AS under hardest composition
** All Land Fighters in Land Base 1-3 (Optional)
* Notes:
** This phase is one of the few times it might be good to organize your carrier fleet you'll be using for the later phases.
** Load all fighters on Carriers
** This should be achievable without using a Land base, so you can opt to put your land base on rest
