Special Mechanics

1. The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium) or Operation C (丙, Easy).
   • Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
   • An important note to all Admirals intending to clear the event on Hard difficulty - further (new) conditions now apply:
     • When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
       • Switching between any other difficulties will not reset the debuff mechanism.
2. The debuff system from Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be killed to reduce boss armor will return.

R Meet all of the following requirements: Amount of CVL + BBV ≦ 1 Pass the LoS check Branching compositions were reported over the course of the event.
Tips Recommended Fleet: 1 BBV, 1CL, 1CVL, 2-3 DD, 0-1 DE Path: I -> J -> G -> D -> P A healthy balance of Surface Combat and ASW equipment is recommended. Although the boss is a Submarine, Nodes G and D along the way will have fleets consisting of DDs, CLs, CAs, and CLTs. You may want your BBV and CVL (and perhaps the CL) armed to deal with surface ships, while the rest of your ships carry ASW gear, preferably to the point that they can use Opening ASW. Dealing with the New Submarine Princess The New Submarine Princess has a large amount of HP, but is vulnerable to ASW gear. Having a set of Sonars, Depth Charge Launchers and Depth Charges is recommended to maximize your damage output. The New Submarine Princess can come accompanied with a Nu-class Light Carrier or Kai variant along with some DDs and other subs. A proper fleet should be able to take out the Princess with ASW during day battle, and finish off any surviving DDs and CVLs at night. Going to Node S for Sagiri The new Ayanami-class destroyer Sagiri drops from Node S, but Node S is not available when you first enter the E-1 map. First, you must visit the resource Node M. You can do this with the same 1BBV + 1CVL + CLs/DDs/Escorts fleet you use to attack the boss. Just choose to go north instead of south from the starting node I. Visiting Node M will unlock Node Q, which you must then visit. Getting to Node Q requires an all-fast fleet with no BBVs or CVLs. CAVs are allowed. Visiting Node Q will unlock Nodes R and S. Node R can be reached with the same fleet you used to visit Node Q. Nodes R and S are populated by PT Imp Groups, who are good at dodging shelling attacks. Skilled Lookouts will help your ships overcome the Imps' evasion.

Tips E2H DEI Fleet 3 CV(L), DD + CL/DD, XX Route Other Notes AP AS AS+ 96 216 432 E2H ACFJL(K)O Fleet 2DD FBB CV + [CV CA] or [CVL / (CAV/CL)] Route Other Notes CVL/CAV/CL route bypasses one submarine node if shortcut is active. AP AS AS+ 139 312 624 Unlock Locking path to bypass Node K - 3 CV/CVL, 1 CL, 2DD Fleet will travel D -> E -> G -> I Node I features the Summer Harbor Princess along with a batch of DDs (Can also have Artillery Imps as well) Score an A rank is needed to unlock the new path node that goes from L -> O Boss Killing Fleet - 1FBB, 2CV, 1 CA, 2DD A good strong fleet for doing decent damage and gaining air control along the path. However, will be forced to go to Node K which can be run your fuel down to a very low point making it hard to evade. 1FBB, 1CV, 1CVL, 1CL, 2DD While not as strong as previous mentioned fleet, it can help you reach the Boss node via path from L -> O without engaging the Sub Node resulting in having more fuel which will mean having additional evasion. Using a pre-emptive launching CL like Yura Kai Ni or Abukuma Kai Ni may be recommended to help pick off waker enemy fleet. Dealing with the Ne-Class Flagship The Ne-Class Flagship will be in a combined fleet which will consist of mainly destroyers with 1 CL and 1 CVL depending on the difficulty. As noticeable from the beginning, the Ne-class Heavy Cruiser Flagship has a very large amount of HP and is also very strong in combat and has the ability to launch Abyssal Falcon Planes at you from the start of battle (Think of it as like a CAV of sorts) However due to the fact the enemy fleet consist of mainly DDs, it should be possible to take out most of the ships without worry. However, in the final kill, one should prepare for a possible encounter with the Old Destroyer Princess being in place in the start of battle and may have the ability to launch a per-emptive torpedo strike at the start of battle. Most other fleets should remain the same and if you are able to deliver a strong amount of damage to the Ne-class Heavy Cruiser Flagship, it should go down without issue. Bring Support Fleets for the Boss node and In-route if there are any difficulties along the way.

Tips E3H CDFIK Fleet Fast Transport Fleet Route Other Notes Boss node has 0 FP; Slow transport fleets have the same FP requirement but go through additional nodes AP AS AS+ 148 333 666 Transport Phase The advice below is written for Hard difficulty. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Fleet(s) will travel A -> C -> D -> E -> H / F -> I -> K -> L. Transport Fleet: 1 LHA / Taiyou, 1 CAV, 4 DD; Escort Fleet: 1 CL 3 DD 2 CA Taiyou or Akitsu Maru is recommended due to how difficult it is to obtain even just Air Parity in this map en route to the boss node (the boss node itself has 0 FP). While there is another Transport Phase in E6, that map also offers access to LBAS, and has no FP requirements other than at the boss node itself. However, plan your shiplocks carefully - the Transport Phase in E6 requires anti-installation equipment and ships for its boss node, as well as ships that are capable of equipping Daihatsu or other transport equipment (E6 has a total TP bar of 2000 on Hard). Take this into account when deciding which ships to sortie to E3. Using either of the above ships requires the use of an Improved Steam Turbine and a Boiler in order to increase their speed from Slow to Fast. Otherwise, the fleet will have to go through additional nodes on Hard. (Refer to the Branching Rules above for details.) This Slow speed penalty does not apply to easier difficulties. Taiyou has 4 slots from her Kai form onwards. This allows her to equip both pieces of equipment without requiring the use of a Reinforcement Expansion, while still contributing significantly to FP. Akitsu Maru Kai only has 3 slots, all of which are smaller than Taiyou's largest slots. Depending on how much FP you can squeeze out of your CAV, you may or may not want to use a Reinforcement Expansion to reduce the number of slots taken up by engine equipment. However, she does contribute as an LHA to depleting the TP bar, while Taiyou does not. Finally, while you should not expect your Main Transport Fleet to contribute much during combat (if at all), note that Akitsu Maru is still capable of attacking even with only fighters equipped, while Taiyou is not. Alternatively, 2 CAVs may be used instead. (i.e. Transport Fleet: 2 CAV, 4 DD; Escort Fleet: 1 CL 3 DD 2 CA) However, depending on how many Seaplane Fighters you have (as well as how high/low their Fighter Power is), you may find it more difficult to obtain Air Parity. Use of Seaplane Bombers to contribute to FP should be avoided, as they are highly likely to get wiped along the way due to the small slot sizes on most CAVs. Nevertheless, CAVs are relatively more resilient than the above ships, and have better firepower (assuming they hit anything). Finally, BBVs may be used instead of Akitsu Maru / Taiyou / CAVs (if you really have no other options, for whatever reasons). Again, however, engine equipment will be necessary to increase their speed to Fast if they are Slow. Otherwise, the fleet will still have to go through additional nodes on Hard. Once again, the speed penalty does not apply to easier difficulties. AACI is recommended. Depending on how many Akizuki-class DDs you have, you may wish to conserve them for later maps; if this is the case, a generic DD AACI set-up should suffice. If unsure, wait for more information to be released before committing to a decision. Both support expeditions are also recommended. E3H CDH(NM)Q Fleet CTF/STF Route Other Notes 198/396 for AS/AS+ at boss; Due to the high number of air nodes, a healthy buffer is recommended AP AS AS+ 148 333 666 Boss Phase The advice below is written for Hard difficulty. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Carrier Task Force: Main Fleet: 1 Kongou-Class FBB, 2 CV (Hiryuu & Souryuu), 3 CA(V); Escort Fleet: 2 CA, 1 CL, 0-1 CLT, 2-3 DD. Main Fleet: 1 Kongou-Class FBB, 2 CV (Hiryuu & Souryuu), 1CVL, 2 CA(V); Escort Fleet: 2 CA, 1 CL, 0-1 CLT, 2-3 DD. Fleet(s) will travel A -> C -> D -> E -> H -> M / N -> Q. As of this time, the routing from H -> M / N appears to be random. This page will be updated if and when a workaround is discovered. While Node M is tougher than Node N, it is still survivable, and the fleet will proceed to the boss node afterwards. CLTs suffer from a branching penalty in the second half of E-4, and are only really necessary in the second half of E-6 (E-7 has no shiplock). If you are having difficulty at the boss node - and have enough CLTs to spare - it may be useful to bring one along to this phase of the map. You may wish to bring CAVs instead of CAs in your Main Fleet in order to provide supplementary Fighter Power. Once again, AACI and both support expeditions are recommended. Surface Task Force: Pending Write-Up (assuming this is viable).

Tips E4H Summer 17 ABCGHI Fleet CTF Route Other Notes AS is 497 for final form AP AS AS+ 148 333 666 E4H Summer 17 DGHJKLMN Fleet STF Route Other Notes Air power requirements TBD. AP AS AS+ 0 0 0 Planning this even map will require you to make sure you plan your fleet out in advance since you'll be killing two enemy units on this map. So if possible, try to use as much of the fleet in the first fight for the second fight. Do note however that slow ships can work on this map so try to make use of them as you can. First Kill Phase Recommended Fleet: Carrier Task Force: 2 BB, 2 CA, 2CV/CVL + 1 CL, 2 CA, 3 DD Path: A -> B -> C -> G -> H -> I CTF is recommended as it'll help you avoid Node D (which has submarines) for this part of the operation. Most enemies along the route will consist of torpedo squadrons and a group of Nu-class light Carriers Kai which may be manageable, however the biggest issue will generally come at Node G where you'll face a Battleship Squadron which you may want a Land-Based Air Squadron for to help wipe out some of the units there. Boss node itself will features a Summer Aircraft Carrier Demon along with a combined fleet of various ships. Using the help of your Land-Based Air Squadron and Boss support Fleet is recommended to make short work of the Carrier Boss. LBAS Recommendations: 1 Fighters/ Land Base Fighter + 3 Land Based Bombers / Torpedo Bombers The distance required to reach node C and I is very short (a distance of 3), so you're welcome to load up your more powerful bombers in there if needed to whip out any enemy units. If you happen to have Land Based bombers, use them in thier place as they're more preferred. Dealing with the Summer Aircraft Carrier Demon As mentioned above, a Land-Based Air Squadron and Boss support is recommended to take care of most of the enemy units in battle. In addition, while it may be possible to fight the Summer Aircraft Carrier Demon's fleet using only your light Carries are part of your main fleet units, you may need to set up Standard Carriers for the final kill to help gain Air superiority over her. Second Kill Phase Recommended Fleet: Surface Task Force: 2 BB, 2 CA, 2CV/CVL + 1 CL, 2 CA, 2 DD, 1 CLT Recommended European Ships: 1 for Easy / 2 for Normal / 3 for Hard Path: D -> G -> H -> I -> J -> K -> M -> N In this part, your fleet will be traveling up the Suez Canal to battle against the French Battleship Princess along the way, expect to be dealing with PT Imp Groups (AA based guns recommended), and a mixture of strong surface ships with PT Imps. Upon passing these you'll face off against the French Battleship Princess who will be in a combined fleet featuring 1 Carrier, 2 Battleships, and a set of DDs, and light cruisers. LBAS Recommendations: 1 Fighters/ Land Base Fighter + 3 Land Based Bombers / Torpedo Bombers Same set up as before, but distance requires to reach the boss node is 6. So you may need some bombers that can travel up to that distance of have a set of land base bombers who can help damage the enemy units as well as a Type 52 fighter or / Hayabusa type plane to reach the necessary distance to the boss node. It's recommend to concentrate both attacks on Node N. Dealing with the French Battleship Princess The French Battleship Princess is extremely resistant to damage and may be hard to take down so a concentrated Land-Based Air Squadron attack and Boss support is highly recommended to help you fight against her an her fleet. In addition, it has been noted that she has a noted vulnerable weakness to certain foreign ships. Ships such as Prinz Eugen, Warspite, Aquila can be used to aid in triggering a possible damage modifier against the French Battleship Princess. Exact condition to triggering them are not fully known but it is most evident among Warspite in particular in Daytime battle damage. In addition, your fleet should also use several ships that are capable of torpedo cut-in set ups. As they will be needed to help take down the Princess. If you have any high luck DDs and CA, load them up with your best torpedoes and take your chance at trying to take down the boss. Prinz Eugen may also have and addition damages against the French Battleship Princess if her torpedo cut-in triggers. How the damage modifier is triggered among Warspite and Prinz Eugen varies between difficulties and requires additional investigation.
