Tips

You are required to sink the flagship at boss node 4 times to clear the map. The reward for clearing the map is 100 points and a medal. Boss's HP Bar will reset at midnight at the beginning of each month.

This map requires your fleet to have a certain amount of Line of Sight (LoS) in order to route to the boss.

  • This map uses Formula 33 (F33) to calculate the LoS of your fleet to determine if you meet the LoS check.
    • Fleets routing from I-O require Cn1 = 34
    • Fleets routing from J-O require Cn1 = 54 (requires further confirmation)
  • Akashi can drop with a small chance in 2-5, but only for Admirals who have do not have her yet in their base. If you already have her, she will not drop in this map anymore.

Stage Guide

There are three routes to the boss node that utilize different compositions.

  • South route (C-E-I-O)
    • 1CV 1CVL 1CL 3DD
  • Northern BM1 route (B-F-J-O)
    • 1BBV 2CAV 3CA
  • Northern BM7 route (B-F-E-I-O)
    • 4DD 1CA 1CL


Routing Considerations

  • The south route is the preferred route used for clearing since it allows for 1 CV and 1 CVL to be brought, enabling powerful opening air strikes.
  • The northern routes should be considered for clearing quests such as BM1 and BM7.
  • Ensure you meet the required LoS in order to route to the boss sucessfully by bringing enough radar, seaplane recons and carrier recons.


South route C-E-I-O

Example Fleets:

  • 1CV 1CVL 1CL 3DD
  • 2CVL 1CL 3DD

Generate Considerations

  • Attention should be given to fleet ordering to ensure you maximize for day battle performance.
  • Use CV(L) that are able to perform strong opening air strikes.
  • Ensure that you meet the required LoS to route to the boss node.

Carriers should be equipped to utilize Cut-In (CVCI) to maximize accuracy and shelling power against the boss node.


Northern route B-F-J-O / B-F-E-I-O

BM1 Example Fleets:

  • 1BBV 2CAV 3CA

BM7 Example Fleets:

  • 4DD 1CA 1CL

Generate Considerations

  • All enemy compositions before the boss do not have any air power.
  • Artillery spotting requires a minimum of Air Superiority (AS) and will increase the likelihood of reaching the boss node.
  • Ensure that you meet the required LoS to route to the boss node.


North BM1 route

This composition is recommended to be used when attempting to clear the monthly quest BM1.

The routing for this composition is B-F-J-O, 1 Drum Canister is required to be equipped on each CAV and pass a LoS check of Cn1 = 54 (needs verification).

All the enemy formations before the boss do not have any air power making it easy to secure Air Supremacy (AS+) with a minimal of 1 Seaplane Bomber (SPB) on a CAV or BBV.

The boss formation is random between 3 Ru class battleships or 2 Ru class battleships and 1 Wo class carrier so attempt to reach AS using SPB on your CAV and BBVs.


North BM7 route

This composition is recommended to be used when attempting to clear the monthly quest BM7. The routing for this composition is B-F-J-O and pass a LoS check of Cn1 = 34.

This route is difficult without access to ships that are able to equip SPB granting AS+ against the pre-boss nodes.

Zara Due is the ideal choice due to her large first slot ensuring that the SPB will survive until the boss node and potentially securing AS+ against the triple Ru-class battleship formation.

Otherwise any single Zara or Agano class with a SPB will be sufficient to secure spotting for the pre-boss nodes.
