* While the Wo-Kai at node I is a strong enemy, it is the much weaker base Wo-Kai, and not the Wo-Kai Type IV often seen in events. (12 less accuracy, less FP, weaker airstrike, etc.)

The standard guaranteed routing for this map involves 2 DDs, 2 CVLs, and 2 CAs '''or''' 2 CAVs ('''not''' 1 CA 1 CAV). Aside from routing, this setup also ensures a powerful opening strike (only 70 FP is needed for AS+); the only realistic chance of a retreat here will be posed by the Ru-flag at E node.

** At lower HQ levels, Node D is somewhat easier. Nonetheless, although only the Ri-classes are capable of performing special night attacks, a single attack from a He-flag (48+80) is a significant threat to a DD.

** It is not necessary to bring specialised night equipment for this node, a star shell may offer limited value, but a searchlight may be outright detrimental.

'''Recommended fleet compositions''': 2CA/CAV 2DD 2CVL; 2CA/CAV 2DD 1CLT 1CVL; 1CL 2DD 3CVL
  −
*** No BB(V) or CV allowed
  −
*** 2 CA/CAV and 2DD give guaranteed branching for this route, however, alternatives such as 4CA2CVL or 3CA3CVL exist (but those fleets can offroute to F)
  −
*** 2 CAs or 2 CAVs are required, one of each can cause offrouting to I
  −
** Pros:
  −
*** Fairly cheap
  −
*** Low AS requirement allows for a large opening airstrike
  −
*** Guaranteed boss routing
  −
** Cons:
  −
*** 2 DDs needed for guaranteed branching
  −
  −
  −
** Three battles before the boss node
  −
** '''Recommended fleet compositions''': 4FBB 2CV; 1(F)BB(V) 3CA(V) 2CV
  −
*** Heavy fleets can offroute to the dead-end node F
  −
** Pros:
  −
*** Strong chance of successfully killing the boss
  −
*** Low chance of being forced to retreat
  −
** Cons:
  −
*** Chance of getting sent off course
  −
*** Extremely expensive
  −
  −
  −
** Only two battles before the boss node. The second node is a night battle node
  −
** '''Recommended fleet composition''': 2CAV 3CA(V) 1CLT; 4DD, 1CL, 1CA with a destroyer as flagship for Monthly [[Quests#Bm7|Bm7]].
  −
*** No BB(V)s or CV(L)s are allowed.
  −
*** If not using 4DD or 3DD+1CL, two ships need to be each equipped with a [[Drum Canister]] each in order to guarantee going to node A
  −
*** CLTs are allowed, using [[Abukuma Kai Ni]] also allows you to add on an additional opening torpedo with no penalty
  −
*** North route (including boss node) doesn't have any enemy carriers, so it's possible to get AS+ with just seaplane bombers, enabling Artillery Spotting
  −
*** Double attack setups (both day and night) are recommended for consistency
  −
*** Consider bringing [[Star Shell]], [[Searchlight]] and/or [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)]] to make the night battle and boss node easier.
  −
** Pros:
  −
*** Relatively cheap, especially if using destroyers
  −
*** Relatively easier at lower levels
  −
** Cons:
  −
*** High leveled ships are required
  −
*** Night battle node can force retreats easily, especially at high levels.
