Sending a Land Base here may help you clear out the enemy ships but it is also possible that they can knock out your planes in the process. − Using Land base and boss support will help it make it more likely to secure an A rank, but to deplete the gauge faster, you can consider possible TCI units in hopes of killing the Princess if she weak enough to be taken out. Using historical DD TCI will be the most effective way of doing so. Otherwise feel free to continue with A ranks until you successfully deplete the gauge. Line 263:

This boss fight will be notably hard. But if you have Touch base attacks, crits, a good land base and the ability to get AS, you should be able to successfully be able to have a chance at doing damage to the boss let alone possibly sink her.

If so, you can opt to set up a similar set up as shown in the phases along the way. By around Phase 6 and 8, you'll be using your LBAS to the fullest extent against the last boss.

In this phase you'll be performing a transport operation while also protecting your fleet from some air stirkes that will occur along the way. As long as you have a fleet with good ASW, AACI, capable of transporting supplies and a land base that can support your while taking out the enemy ships and subs, the phase should be simple to complete.

The boss will mainly include a Submarine princess accompanied by other subs or sub princesses, and other small surface ships. A simple method of following some of the methods in composition requirements and notes should defeat the boss easily.

In this phase, you will need to organize a powerful fleet to attack the main abyssal forces. This will require you to carefully construct a flee that with of the land base can successfully fight the main fleet while also achieve AS against the enemy fleet. For now the most efficient way to do this is through chipping away at the Abyssal Bamboo Princess until she is at her weakest point.
