World 3-2: キス島沖 The Kis Island

Stage Guide

• In order to get to Boss Node H, you will need to use a fleet of destroyers (i.e. 6 DDs). Having any other type of ship inside your fleet will direct you to Node A.
  • There is still a low chance of getting to node A even with an all-destroyer fleet.
  • Other than the start, branching is random
• All destroyers should be remodeled, equipped with double attack setup (cut-in for ships with high luck) and have their stats maxed (with the exception of AA).
• Equip「Emergency Repair」(応急修理要員) if you don't feel confident.
• Use Line ahead in boss node.
• 3-2-A is a great place to level up using the following fleet composition:
  • Flagship: whatever ship you want to level up.

• If you have a submarine: 「CV/CVLx2 (Torpedo Bomber) CLTx1-2 (Type A Ko-hyoteki) SSx1」. Enemies will prioritize attacking your submarine since all of them can attack submarines. You will therefore incur minimum cost to resources, time (Submarines are cheap and quick to repair) and risk while gaining 576 EXP per battle for flagship, 768 EXP for MVP, or 1152 EXP for flagship MVP.
  • You are encouraged to try various compositions depending on your situation, as long as you can destroy all enemy ships before the torpedo phase - an enemy ship that is not moderately damaged will fire torpedo on your non-submarine ship. Adding a BB/BBV for the second shelling phase is an option.
    • If you do not have a submarine: 「CV/CVLx2 (Torpedo Bomber) CLTx1-2 (Type A Ko-hyoteki) BBx1」. CV will take out 4-5 ships while BB takes out the remaining ships. With that composition, you can level 2 DD at the same time. Not as resource efficient as the first one, but reasonable if you do not have a submarine that can evade well.
    • Having the CV/CVLx2 equiped with at least 1 fighter plane each and going on to 3-2-C with double line formation can help get rid of problems like having to change the ships every few times because of low morale and can also lead to additional EXP per sortie. However, this is risky and may result in a few buckets having to be used.
• Visit the Leveling Guide for more details on recommended formations to use.

• Fleet composition requires 2 or more CV/CVL to make it to the boss node. Other compositions will always take you to node B.
• One of the best way to farm furniture coins (node J gives medium box, node K gives large box)

World 3-4: 北方海域全域 Throughout the Northern Sea

Stage Guide

• There are no branching rules for this map. All paths are chosen randomly.
• Bearing a 9 star difficulty compared to 4-4's 8 stars, it is one of the hardest maps to clear. Almost every node past the first nodes contain Flagship BBs and/or Elite BBs. The boss node however has a small chance of using a fleet without BBs at all.
• 4BBs and 2CVs is recommended.
• Clearing this map with only submarines is possible but requires incredible luck as there are golden CLs equipped with both sonar and depth charges that will hit your subs hard even with turbines equipped.Recommended to use remodelled SS.

	G	0-2 CL & 5+ [DD + CL + AV + SS(V)] & 0 [BB(V) + LHA + CA(V)] tends to go G Anything else tends to go G
E	F	Always.
F	I	If the total number of BB(V) and CV(L) combined is 2 or higher while you have a LHA in your fleet there's a high chance to go node I regardless of LOS If the total number of BB(V) and CV(L) combined is 4 or higher there's a high chance that you'll go to node I regardless of LOS Node K (Boss Node) if enough LOS, otherwise node I
	K
G	J	Node K if enough LOS (fairly low requirement), otherwise node J
	K

• LoS requirement from lv90 to 99 is 28 Effective LoS for G->K (radar LoS+ 2* (Recon Plane LoS) + √(total LoS) ≥ 28)
• One of the more efficient ways in which you can level DDs in an Extra Operation, boasting 600 exp for the flagship position and 400 for the other ships with just a B rank. Take note that enemy patterns have great chance dealing heavy damage to DDs even with maximum firepower and armor in torpedo phase.
• Centre route (A-E-F-K or B-E-F-K) is not recommended, there is an enemy submarine on E node which diverts attack from DD & CL while other stronger enemy ships will deal heavy damage instantly.
• Some recommended fleet compositions:
  • North Route (A-C-F-K):
    • 1 BB(V) + 1 CA(V) + 2 CLT + 2 CV
    • 3 CA(V) + 3 CV
    • 3 BB(V) + 3 SS(V)
    • 1 CVL + 3 CA(V) + 2 BB (Quest B32)
    • 1 CVL + 1 CA(V) + 2 BB + 2 CLT (Quest B32)
  • South Route (B-G-K):
    • 1 CL + 5 DD
      • Regarded as the 'standard' composition, this is the strongest possible composition that is guaranteed to reach the boss via B-G-K, assuming LoS requirements are met. It is recommended to try the south route with this composition first.
      • Sparkling is recommended for lower level DDs as you are unlikely to kill or disable all enemies in preboss nodes, which can lead to closing torpedoes critically damaging the low-armored DDs if not evaded.
    • 1 CAV + 1 CL + 4 DD
      • An alternative composition, this trades the 100% reliability of the compass in exchange for more power and a higher chance of surviving preboss battles, however G-node will be a CVL node in which Air Superiority can be problematic on the final clear.
      • There is a risk of getting sent off-course to nodes A or E. Players may opt to refresh the game if sent to these nodes.
    • 1 AV + 1 CL + 4 DD
      • Another alternative, this also sacrifices guaranteed routing, but in exchange for a a pre-emptive torpedo strike, and possibility of Air Parity at G node on the final clear.
      • There is a risk of getting sent off-course to nodes A or E. Players may opt to refresh the game if sent to these nodes.

- "F" mean "Final". You will always encounter this pattern when the boss gauge is 1/4 or if you've already completed this map.
- Although there is no visual difference, players at HQ 84 and below will face a weaker version of the Northern Princess at node F.
