Boss Phase: Eliminate the Combined Carrier fleet at V3
In this final phase, the fleet will now face off and eliminate a carrier combined fleet which is led by a Wo-class Carrier Kai at Node V3.
There are two main strategies to fight the boss, in both cases :
- High AA and AACI are recommended to help survive the nodes along the trip.
- Boss airpower is 191 AP / 422 AS / 828 AS+.
- 1 LBAS should use fighters and bombers (range 8 Required).
- Boss support is optional.
- 1CV, 1CVL, 1CA(V), 1CL, 2DD
- Route = B C K O3 S T V1 V3
- Fleet will be armed to focus more heavily on air power to fight through the carrier fleets and air nodes along the way.
- Strong carrier fleets are present making passing rates harder compared to the north route
- Will make scoring AS more possible at the boss node
- Will allow for a strong opening strike
- Do note, however, you will not get a 2nd shelling attack
- 0-1FBB, 1-2CVL, 1CL, 3DD
- Route = B F J N O O4 P R S T V3
- Fleet will be more combat-focused
- Bringing an FBB will allow 2nd Shelling which will be useful for the boss
- Using 2 CVLs will allow for better protection from air nodes leading up to the boss fight, but will lack 2nd shelling.
- Aim for at least AP to survive
- Splitting the land base between R and V3 may improve survival chances
Once the HP bar is depleted and finish off the Wo-class Kai the map is considered complete.
