** Only recommended to a particular group of ships that are almost all historical and can forgo using Touch-based attacks.
*** {{MapRoute|W|blue}} is where the repair mechanic will be use if the player chooses to repair their ship on route to the boss.
** CVLs and FBB are recommended to be historical ships.
** Have at least 1 strong [[AACI]] Capable ship to pass through the air raid node.
** Escorts should be composed of mostly historical ships.
** Using SS(V) in both main and escort can minimize the damage taken from the boss fleet from almost all enemy ships as the majority of ships are destroyers and ASW attacking ships.
** DD in escort should be setup for Torpedo Cut in, Gun-Torp-Radar-Lookout Cut to penetrate the boss' armor and kill it.
** While beatable without debuff, debuffing the boss may yield faster results.
** Heavy fleet to utilize special attack mechanics on [[Colorado]], [[Nelson]], [[Nagato]], and/or [[Mutsu]]

* There is a LoS check at {{MapRoute|X|red}}.
* {{MapRoute|W|blue}} is an [[Repairs#Emergency_Anchorage_Repairs|Emergency Anchorage Repairs]] node.
* Having at least 1 strong [[AACI]] is recommended.
* Boss Support Expedition is recommended for LD.
* DDs in the escort fleet should be set up for high night battle damage.
==Phase 4: Debuff Phase==
Once '''Last Dance''' is reached, the following steps can be performed to debuff the boss.
* The following requirements are needed to complete the debuffing process.

|-|AS Land Base=
* '''LBAS:''' Air Defense
* This can be done passively since getting AS on the air raid requires an LBAS set on "defense" with a strong enough air-defense
|-|Node Q=
The process is the same as it was during phase 1:
* CTF: '''0-2FBB, 2CV(B), 0-1CVL, 0-2CA(V), 2CL + 1CL, 0-2CA(V), 0-2CLT, 2-4DD (FAST)''' [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_4.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|2|grey|M|red|N|red|O|pink|P|red|Q|red}}
* LBAS: Range 5 to {{MapRoute|Q|red}}, 74/167 AP/AS
** There is an LoS check at {{MapRoute|P|red}}.
** Using one '''strong''' [[AACI]] ship such as the [[:Category:Akizuki Class|''Akizuki''-class]], [[:Category:Fletcher Class|''Fletcher''-class]] DD is highly recommended.
** Having 1-2 [[OASW]] ships to increase the passing rate to the boss is recommended.
|-|Nodes E-R-L=
A similar approach to phase 0.5, however, this will go through Node {{MapRoute|R|red}} in this step.
* '''1CVL 2CA(V) 1CL 3DD (FAST)''' [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_5.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1|grey|A|red|B|pink|D|blue|E|pink|H|blue|R|red|L|pink}}
* LBAS: Fightersweep {{MapRoute|L|pink}} (Range 6) and {{MapRoute|E|pink}} (Range 3)
** Fighter muling CVL a to reach AS for the required nodes is recommended.
** AACI is highly recommended.
** Make sure ships are set up with Anti-PT set up (see [[PT Imp Pack#EnWiki_Notes|here]]) to eliminate all the PT Imp Pack on node {{MapRoute|R|red}}.
|-|Node U=
Similar to phase 2, this is regarded as the hardest step to clear in the debuff.
* '''1CVL 2CA(V) 1CL 3DD (FAST)''' [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_5.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute |1|grey|A|red|B|pink|D|blue|E|pink|H|blue|R|red|L|pink|S|Red|T|Green|U|Red}}
* LBAS: {{MapRoute|U|red}} (Range 8, 44/88 AD/AP on 甲), {{MapRoute|L|pink}} (Range 6)
** There is an LoS Check at {{MapRoute|T|green}} (Cn3):
*** Casu = 26.0 / Easy = ?? / Med = 40.0 / Hard = 48.0
** It's recommended to use historical ships to maximize damage output against the boss
** Land base can either concentrate on the boss or be split to defend against air nodes like Node L.
** CVL should be a fighter mule.
** The main objective at the boss should be to:
***Eliminate the smaller enemy ships and wither down the boss to a decent degree during day battle.
***Use mainly TCI / GTRL units to maximize your chances of defeating the boss in night battle.
