::*Route is B -> X -> D -> H -> Y, and return to base after Y. Ensure you enter night battle at both nodes for S-rank. It may be possible to S-rank node X during the day, but not as likely for node Y.
 +
:*For Chipping/Clearing runs:
 +
::*'''Carrier Fleet''' is preferred because the map is littered with [[Standard Carrier Wo-Class#Kai|Wo-Class Kai]] even on the easiest difficulty.
 +
::*Fleet Makeup:
 +
:::''First Fleet'': 2BB + 4CV ''or'' 2BB + CA + 3CVL
 +
:::''Second Fleet'': CL + 2DD + 2CA(V) + 1 (DD ''or'' CA(V) ''or'' FBB)
 +
::*Equip Makeup:
 +
:::*For Chipping runs:
 +
::::''First Fleet'': 10 Slots of Fighters can gain AS+ everywhere (depending on expertise level and slot capacity). Note that enemy has good anti-air defense, so expect a lot of loss on the bombers. BB and CA(V) should use the normal [[Artillery Spotting|artillery spotting]] equipment setup, unless [[Maya#Second Upgrade|Maya Kai Ni]] is using her AACI in the first fleet.
 +
::::''Second Fleet'': you don't need to necessarily go for the kill, so most of the time you can get away without using double attack gear. It's more important that you bring all three night battle equipment ([[Searchlight]], [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)]], and [[Star Shell]]) to increase the effectiveness of your attacks.
 +
:::*For Clearing runs:
 +
::::''First Fleet'': Except on hard (which has the same stats throughout), the boss has better stats (including AA). Don't count on your carriers for damage because of bomber shot-downs.
 +
::::''Second Fleet'': This is where you may need to consider bringing cut-in setups for ships that can reliably do so. Again, night battle equipment will make your job easier.
 +
::*Your Route should (ideally) be E-> G -> J -> M -> Z. Consider retreating if you reach node Y, because (1) node L is rather difficult to pass unscathed and (2) you suffer from a 40% modifier to damage (instead of 80%) due to ammo remaining.
