| + | |||
| + | AV Hime will require the use of the Shima fleet (Purple). This phase is relatively straightforward. | ||
Attaining AS here is completely impractical (504 FP) if not impossible, as it would require the sacrifice of Nachi and Ashigara, removing bombers from LBAS for fighters, and more. | Attaining AS here is completely impractical (504 FP) if not impossible, as it would require the sacrifice of Nachi and Ashigara, removing bombers from LBAS for fighters, and more. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Key Pointers: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Nachi and Ashigara are highly recommended for their post-cap firepower bonuses, as are most historical ships. | ||
| + | * The Littorio-Class are also excellent here for their ability to attain AS (they are capable of carrying Seaplane Fighters) when unopposed | ||
| + | |||
| + | * A submarine may be utilized to divert fire, however, as a fast fleet is a requirement, a boiler+turbine combination is mandatory | ||
| + | ** The SS may be retreated without consequence. As sparkling a submarine is extremely cheap and submarines benefit greatly proportionately from the extra evasion when sparkled, it is highly recommended that you sparkle the SSV. | ||
| + | ** This can be done extremely cheaply at E5 | ||
| + | |||
| + | The final composition of the fleet would therefore look along the lines of: SSV 2FBB 2CA 3DD | ||
| + | |||
| + | * ASW bombers may be sent to node H to increase the consistency of reaching the boss node | ||
| + | * Node O checks for 2DD, an FCF may therefore be used prior to or at node O if you would still have at least 2DDs remaining | ||
| + | |||
| + | The boss node of E6 Phase 1 contains AV hime, due to the historical bonuses and the presence of the friend fleet, finishing this phase should be relatively simple and is mostly a matter of time and resources given proper setups. | ||
'''Phase 2 - BB Hime Kai''' | '''Phase 2 - BB Hime Kai''' | ||

One CAV should be used to provide AP/AS (3-4 Seaplane fighters) at the boss. |
| − | '''Phase | + | '''Node V - BB Hime Kai''' |
| + | |||
| + | BB Hime Kai represents most of the challenge in clearing E6; this is largely due to two factors, her extreme durability, and the lack of a friend fleet. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Most nodes prior to the boss are relatively straightforward, but should not by any means be underestimated: The presence of Nu CAs and Ri Kais are still significant threats and can force retreats. | ||
| + | ** At most, it may be possible to utilize one LBAS to assist with problem nodes | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | The Boss: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * BB Hime Kai almost necessitates the use of LBAS support on her. At least two and possibly all three bases should committed on her. Barring final form on hard mode, this boss has ''absolutely no air power'', fighters are completely unnecessary. | ||
| + | * Saiuns and FCFs should not the first things dropped for final form to maximize kill rates. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * This is a prime area for using TCIs | ||
| + | ** Do not neglect the flagship cut-in rate bonus. On ships without luck modifications (e.g. Naganami K2), the use of skilled lookouts is worth consideration/ | ||
| + | ** Ideally, the CA used should be TCI capable, Myoukou in particular comes with a high base luck good night battle power. Luckmodded Choukai or Maya would be ideal for this map. | ||
| + | ** TCIs on a CLT, however, is still not recommended, they may, however, be moved further up the shelling order, ahead of a capped TCI ship. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Given the high difficulty of this boss, boss support expeditions are extremely highly recommended. Sparkling remains optional, but should be considered if problems persist | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Phase 3 - CV Water Demon''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Key Pointers | ||
| + | |||
| + | * As with Phase 1, the FCF should only be used at (or prior to) node O if your fleet would have at least 2DDs after withdrawing one | ||

| + | <br/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | * For '''Hard Mode''', Node G contains a surface fleet of cruisers and destroyers. The fight should be winnable without needing [[LBAS]]. | ||

| + | * For '''Hard Mode''', Node I is an air attack node where you'll face a strong Air powered fleet. | ||
| + | * Bring an LBAS or 2 full of fighters if you need additional air power support to secure AS on this node | ||
| + | * If you survived node G without anyone taking any heavy damage from that node you can try using your fleet from there to complete this requirement at the same time. | ||

| + | '''Note:'''If you are playing '''Casual and Easy''', disregard this section all together and proceed to "Sinking the [[Abyssal Crane Princess]]". | ||
| + | |||
| + | In '''Medium and Hard Difficulty''' it is possible to boost your fleet's historical damaged beyond the 1.2x by completing the following requirements: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * '''S''' rank nodes '''M''' and '''W''' using '''STF'''. | ||
| + | * '''A''' rank node '''Q'''. | ||

| + | * Use an ASW focused [[LBAS]] on Node A to help reduce the number of [[Submarine So-Class]]. | ||
| + | * Using your [[LBAS]] at Node Q can help you with securing an A rank that is needed for the requirements. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | '''Suggested [[LBAS]]''' | ||

| + | |||
| + | Though you may not reach AS on this node, being able to prevent air denial (AD) can help make it more possible to secure an A rank here. | ||

| + | * '''Node W''' simple requires you to reach the node with a Surface Fleet. | ||
| + | *By the time you reach '''Node W''' you will have no fuel or ammo left. So fighting there will result in most if not all of your ship getting heavily damaged. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Depending on the difficulty, the final phase of the event will either require extensive effort or can be simple. The way you'll need to tackle the boss will be similar but can consist of some differences. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * During this Phase your escort fleet will generally be in the most dangerous especially in '''Node W'''. | ||
| + | * As like in the other phases an ASW capable ship can still helpful especially one that can pre-emptive ASW like in higher difficulties to take out the [[Submarine So-Class]] | ||
| + | * In route Support is recommended in higher difficulties to make tougher nodes like '''Nodes D and W''' passable. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once you made it to the boss node, depending on the difficulty, the following things should be considered: | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''[[Abyssal Crane Princess]] on Medium and Hard Mode''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | With the debuff method complete on Medium and Hard mode, the [[Abyssal Crane Princess]] will become significantly weaker against historical ships. However, in order to make the win far more successful, you will need to not only bring the proper kanmusu for the job but also efficiently rig the '''Friend Fleets''' to get some of the best possible benefits. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Below here are a few important points regarding ships to consider for Medium and Hard Mode Difficulty: | ||
| + | |||
| + | *[[Shoukaku]], [[Zuikaku]], [[Zuihou]], and [[Musashi]] are very vital when the debuff is triggered as they can do far more damage compared to anyone else in the entire fleet. | ||
| + | * [[Kaga]] while not a historical ship still has an important role due to her large plane capacity which allows her to carry a large fighter power. She will be doing a fighter mule role in this event segment to help your fleet get closer to gaining air superiority. | ||
| + | * Due to their historical buff [[Shoukaku]] and [[Zuikaku]] should be armed to perform CV cut-ins. | ||
| + | * [[Taihou]] can be a small time damage dealer on this map as she's the only CVB that doesn't interfere with certain Friend Fleet arrangements. | ||
| + | * Torpedo Cut in ships such as [[Yukikaze]] and [[Shigure]] are good here not just for their historical damage, but to also prevent certain unnecessary Friend Fleets from appearing. | ||
| + | * If you have a luck modded [[Choukai]] or [[Maya]] you can use them to help torpedo cut-in along with the other ships in a night battle. | ||
| + | * [[Zuihou]]'s Kai 2 B will have a vital role in helping deliver the kill against the boss if you have the night battle planes and gear to set her up to launch an attack against the boss at night. | ||
| + | ** If you are lacking in night planes, you will likely be depending more on Torpedo Cut-Ins to help win the battle. | ||
| + | * Avoid bringing in [[Yamato]], [[Nagato]], [[Myoukou]], [[Haguro]], [[Naganami]] and [[Hatsushimo]] in your fleet as they are needed to trigger the Kurita main Friend Fleet which is vital to scoring a victory in the fight during the night battle. | ||
| + | * Yamato's Kurita Friend Fleet will also be given the historical bonus allows them to also efficiently damage or even kill tougher targets such as Hime types. | ||
| + | ** This becomes more apparent in Hard mode as the final kill will pit you against the main fleet consisting of nothing but [[Aircraft Carrier Princess]] and [[Battleship Princess]]. | ||
| + | * The International Friend Fleet can also be used but is less effective overall against the [[Abyssal Crane Princess]]'s Fleet due to the random nature of coming with 3-7 ships and having not as effective equipment setups. | ||
| + | ** It is possible to lock them out by using ships like [[Iowa]] and [[Saratoga]] in your fleet, but in return, you will also be crippling your main fleet's power by bringing in additional non-historical ships. | ||
| + | * Fleet Oilers like [[Hayasui]] and [[Kamoi]] will be helpful on the final kill on Hard mode by bringing [[Maritime Resupply]] to help your fleet reach it's best to combat potential. | ||
| + | **When your fleet reaches the boss node, they will have only '''35% fuel and ammo''' | ||
| + | **Using 1 [[Maritime Resupply]] should remove the ammo penalties from your fleet altogether and 2 will reduce the fuel penalty further to dodge more efficiently. | ||
| + | * If you have a strong enough [[LBAS]] set up to help easily secure air superiority along with your fleet's air power. It may become possible to bring in a [[Saiun]] to prevent T-Disadvantage to make killing the boss fleet more possible. | ||
| + | * Boss Support Fleet is Highly recommended | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''[[Abyssal Crane Princess]] on Casual and Easy Mode''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | On this difficulty, you will be lacking the full-scale debuff effect as there is no way to trigger this feature on casual and easy mode. Expect to be putting more effort into your fleet's own strength however even without the debuff, historical ships are still important. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Most of the Key points from Medium and Hard mode apply to here as well. Even though [[Shoukaku]], [[Zuikaku]], [[Zuihou]], and [[Musashi]] will not have the big historical bonus, they will still be your big hitters in this battle. | ||
| + | * [[Kitakami]] and [[Ooi]] have a more important role in this difficulty as the boss should be weaker and having them equipped with double attacks to do consistant cap damage can help weaken the boss for your torpedo cut-in members to score an easier kill. | ||
| + | * Easy mode may be somewhat difficulty to complete even with a proper set up so if possible avoid going down to this difficulty and if you are playing on this difficulty and are still having trouble, consider dropping to Casual. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Preffered [[LBAS]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Node X'''<br> | ||
| + | '''3 LBAS'''<br> | ||
| + | * '''LBAS 1: 3 Fighters (Range 6), 1 [[Type 2 Flying Boat]]''' | ||
| + | * '''LBAS 2 (Pre-Last Kill): ''' 2 Fighters (Range 6), 1 Land Base Bomber, 1 [[Type 2 Flying Boat]]''' | ||
| + | * '''LBAS 2-3 (Pre/Last Kill): ''' 1 Fighters (Range 6), 2 Land Base Bomber, 1 [[Type 2 Flying Boat]]''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | To bring any fighters to help lower the air power at the boss node, you're going to need a fighter plane with a range of 6 or greater. Hayabusa and Type 52 Fighters should be able to reach this with the assistance of a [[Type 2 Flying Boat]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Since the boss contains a lot of air power, you want your first set of LBAS planes to clean out as many of the planes as you can while having the remaining bases bring fighters and bombers to wipe out what ships they can. | ||
| + | |||
| + | During the Final Kill, the air power requirement is lower so it is possible to use fewer fighters and more bombers to the boss node. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once the boss is successfully defeated, the event is considered complete. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''What to do if you don't have a [[Type 2 Flying Boat]]?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Without a [[Type 2 Flying Boat]] you fleet will have a very difficult time securing the win at the boss node. Since the boss has a huge amount of air power. If you are challening a harder difficulty you will find score the win quite difficult. If possible seek out [[Akitsushima]] from E-2 if you can and train her to get her Flying Boat. Otherwise the main options are to either lower the difficulty or try to use your LBAS in different methods: | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Node M'''<br> | ||
| + | '''1 LBAS'''<br> | ||
| + | * '''LBAS : 4 Fighters / Land Base Fighters (Range 6 Needed)''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | A fighter sweep over this node can help reduce the total number of abyssal bombers that will target your fleet in the opening phase. You may potentially disable the carriers in this node by deplaning them with Fleet AA and AACI. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Node W'''<br> | ||
| + | '''1 LBAS'''<br> | ||
| + | * '''LBAS : 4 Land Based Bombers (Range 7 Needed)''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | This node features a surface fleet that can often present trouble to the escort fleet since they can occasionally appear in Line ahead or Vanguard Formation. Using and LBAS to clear some if not most of the enemy ships out can help here. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | '''Node X'''<br> | ||
| + | '''1 LBAS'''<br> | ||
| + | * '''LBAS : 4 Land Based Bombers (Range 9 Needed)''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Unlike the other LBAS method used on the boss, this method is more of a Last Resort measure to try wiping out some of the enemies in the boss node. Since if you're lacking in a flying boat, this will be the only way you can bring anything to the boss and killing some ship may be possible, but it will also likely result in your losing a large amount of planes and possibly lose your Land Base Bomber's rank in the process. Only consider this option if you have no other means of bringing fighters to the boss node. | ||

Latest revision as of 12:34, 3 October 2018
The Winter 2018 Event is scheduled to begin on February 16th, 2018. This Event is titled " Showdown at Operation Shou-Gou! Battle of Leyte Gulf (Part 2)".
This event will serve as a continuation of the Battle of Leyte Gulf from back in the Fall 2017 Event. Unlike the previous event, this event will focus heavily on the Kurita Fleet, Suzuki Fleet and the Ozawa Fleet being the main participants in the event waters. Meanwhile members of the Nishimura Fleet and Shima Fleet will still have a valuable role in the event.
The Event will bring back the new mechanic known as the Striking Force Fleet which will allow you to organize a 7 ship fleet. A new formation known as the Vanguard Formation which will protect some of the front ships while allowing other ships to evade efficiently. [1]
Details about the event mentioned in Kensuke Tanaka's interview in January's Comptiq and Feburary's Comptiq have noted that the event will serve as the Final Event for KanColle Phase 1.
In addition to this, Dev Tweets have noted the event will be a Large Scale Decisive Battle. [2]

Due to the size of this battle, it's recommended to go view the Wikipedia Article on the Battle of Leyte Gulf for additional details. The Fall 2017 Event itself will focus mainly on the Southern IJN's counter-attack operation to attack through the Surigao Strait and the fleet's involved in it.
The Northern Force Fleet - Ozawa's Fleet
The Fleet lead by Jisaburou Ozawa, who lead a decoy fleet into the battle of the Leyte Gulf to help draw out the US's 3rd Carrier Force in an attempt to help Kurita's Fleet safely pass the San Bernardino Strait in an attempt to get to the main landing forces at Leyte. This fleet consisted of the last of the IJN's then functioning carrier force which at the time of battle served as nothing more than a bait fleet to distract Hearsay's Fleet from the real part of the operation. All the Carriers were sunk in the fight resulting inthe IJN losing the last of it's working carrier forces.
The Fleet consisted of Zuikaku (Sunk), Zuihou (Sunk), Chiyoda (Sunk), Chitose (Sunk), Ise, Hyuuga, Isuzu, Ooyodo, Tama (sunk later following the battle), Akizuki (Sunk), and Hatsuzuki (Sunk)

He was there to help aid Kurita's fleet during the assult on Leyte. During his attempt to traverse the waters he ran into several obstacles which cause several ships in the fleet to sink, but upon passing the San Bernardino Strait was when the Main Forces experienced taking a heavy hit from the group of the 3rd Fleet Carrier Task Force that was located at Samar forcing him to retreat.

Tips
When planning for this map, it is highly advisable to set aside any ships required for future maps first, be it Kurita, Nishimura, Ozawa, or Shima fleet ships. In line with this, utilizing ships which are unlikely to be required for historical purposes in this event, such as Satsuki, Fumizuki, Yuubari, and Libeccio may be of value. There are three primary objectives that must be completed before the boss node (O) becomes available, A ranks are required at:
The core final fleet that used to reach the boss node O will run along the lines of CL 2DD/DE 3XX. The three wild cards are usually be a BBV (for a second shelling round) along with 2 more DD/DEs. Should problems present themselves, the addition of an additional ship and use of a striking force may be required. Post-EO Release Update: The transport operation for this event at E5 does not utilize a CVL, if, for some reason, you are encountering difficulties killing the boss, Taiyou may safely be released for use here. Node B Node B is relatively simple to reach: a CL is required to route to D, removing the CL and replacing with a DD will guarantee routing for this node. Two ASW Node F Node F can be reached with a single CL and 2DD/DEs in the fleet, with no need to worry about branching. Node F, being a surface node, will not require as much ASW gear, although the presence of a single sub increases the value of bringing an OASW ship if one can be spared. Node N As only two nodes are required for those on easy and below difficulties, node N can safely be ignored by players on such difficulties. Node N can be reached with the same fleet as used to reach F, a third DD/DE will guarantee the fastest route possible (DGKN). Node N is relatively difficult for a unprepared fleet (Ancient DD hime), however, the presence of LBAS should greatly improve one's chances here. Boss Node: O The last major check here is the LoS requirement to be routed to the boss. The boss node itself is relatively simple and easy in the presence of well-equipped ships, it is therefore possible to have the BBV carry recon planes to fill out any LoS deficit. Recommended LBAS Planes 4 LBAS Bombers / ASW Capable Bombers ASW planes such as the Prototype Toukai are useful against the boss node, while LBAS bombers may be used at any surface node should any issues be encountered.

Event Planning
For the most optimal branching, easy, medium, and hard require 3, 4, and 6 Nishimura ships respectively, and 4, 6, and 8 Kurita fleet ships respectively Tagging Details:
Additional Planning
Map Objectives The fleet that will be used for the final boss is a combined fleet, with the map itself being relatively simple from the second starting point (2 airstrikes, 2 surface nodes prior to boss) In order to unlock the second starting point, up to four objectives must be met.
Nishimura Fleet Objective: Node S, X, and Y General base fleet: 2BBV CAV 4DD Nodes S, X, and Y are reached through going through at least nodes G and M, a sub and air raid node specifically, neither of these nodes is particularly dangerous, with G comprising Ka-flags at worst. Node S, X, and Y can be reached using the Nishimura fleet (i.e. third fleet strike force). Nodes S and X are PT boat nodes, while Node Y is a combined fleet battle starting at night. For this reason, DDs can be equipped with two guns and skilled lookouts. The fleet generally utilized for this route is 2BBV (Fusou-class) CAV (most often Mogami), 4DD (Shigure, Michishio, Asagumo, and Yamagumo). As only up to 6 of them are required, feel free to recompose your fleet as required. An additional option is to add on a submarine as a tank (e.g. 2BBV CAV 3DD SS), PT boats, like destroyers, are capable of ASW and are therefore forced to attack submarines. As the submarine here is only used as a tank to draw fire and is not under serious threat, do not feel pressured to use your best submarines. Node Y, being a conventional surface battle, calls for the use of anti-surface equipment, conventional double attack setups more than suffice, taking AS to utilize artillery spotting is possible in the day battle phase. AA guns and skilled lookouts function well as a third slot on DDs for anti PT boat equipment, while Mogami and the Fusous can utilize an AA gun (or secondary gun) with a seaplane bomber against them. Do take the need to fight effectively at Y into consideration before doing so. Throughout this phase, do consider the use of a (striking force) fleet command to withdraw ships as necessary.
General base fleet: 2FBB 2CA(V) 2CVL with CL2DD 2CA CLT/CA T can be reached in one of two ways: either with a single submarine (or fleet of submarines), or with a conventional surface task force. The Kurita fleet requires 4, 6, or 8 members of the historical fleet for the best possible path. Use of multiple (O)ASW ships and even ASW land support here should greatly simplify this run. Alternatively, T can be reached using a single fleet of submarines, this fleet will face ASW challenges at nodes C and I, conventional bomber support to these nodes should be used if required. Boss Phase With the second phase unlocked, obtaining the shortest route in this phase requires:
Kongou, Haruna, Tone, Chikuma, Maya, Choukai, Suzuya, Kumano, Haguro, Myoukou and Yukikaze offer many options (that list is not exhaustive), the main group of ships that should be avoided here from the Kurita fleet include Nagato and Yamato class ships. A surface task group here can comprise an escort group of CL2DD 2CA (chosen from the many cruisers available for this map), with the main force comprising 2FBB 2CA(V) 2CVLs. Be cautious not to choose CVLs from the Ozawa fleet, Suzuya and Kumano here are particularly useful as they fulfill both roles at once. CVLs in this fleet will be mostly called upon to provide fighter power, with (usually) three fighters and a dive bomber, a dive is chosen over a TB in this case to provide shelling power and due to the high amount of enemy AA, consider the use of fighter bombers here. Likewise, CAVs here can carry seaplane fighters to provide supplementary air power, as always, their seaplane fighters may never be completely depleted, due to the nature of how percentage shootdown works. As an alternative option, a CV with an additional CAV may be brought in place of the 2 CVLs. Overall, this map is relatively simple, even on hard, with the most dangerous node being node W, LBAS can safely be sent there, an FCF can be brought safely without compromising fleet capabilities too heavily.

Tips
Unlocking the Shortcuts (J->N):
With enough Ozawa Fleet ships (4/6/8 on Easy/Medium/Hard), you should be able to take the shortest route: L-J-N-Q-S-U. Recommended fleet composition:
This is not an absolute requirement. Various factors may affect your considerations in terms of fleet composition:
On Hard, your options are limited. You will likely be using Zuikaku, Ise, Hyuuga, and 2 out of 3 Ozawa Fleet CVLs (Chitose/Chiyoda/Zuihou) for your main fleet (along with 1 more CV). The escort fleet will then need to contain 3 Ozawa Fleet ships (likely the 2 DDs and 1 CL). Speed does not matter; on higher difficulties, you will likely need Ise and Hyuuga (both slow) to meet the required number of Ozawa Fleet ships anyway. An important consideration to take into account here is the availability of good LBAS fighters with long range, and range extension equipment:
Please also do note that the fighter power requirements at the boss node increase significantly during Last Dance. This will probably require additional LBAS strikes (if they are not already committed to the boss node), and/or an increase in the number of fighters slotted into your fleet. FCF is helpful for retreating damaged ships (especially at the pre-boss; LoS check is before the pre-boss node). But you may wish to consider replacing it for additional fighter power during Last Dance, if needed. Overall, this map is also relatively simple, albeit with rather high fighter power requirements (especially on Hard).

Tips
Map InfoNote: All info is currently based upon initial reports, so take the advice with caution before using your fleet regarding what may come in later missions. Event Planning
Unlocking the Boss Node
Nishimura Fleet Phase Recommended Fleet Overall, the Nishimura phase is nearly identical to its E-2 counterpart and is extremely straightforward. The Vanguard Formation can be used to protect the fleet until the target node is reached. As with E2, PT Imps will appear on nodes H and M, ships equipped with an Anti-Air Gun and/or Skilled Lookouts should easily counter them. (See PT Imp Group page for more details) Node N contains an enemy fleet consisting of mostly BBs in a battle beginning at night, as only an A rank is required even on hard, this should be a fairly straightforward battle Once the required condition (above) has been completed, the path to the boss will appear, commencing the Kurita fleet phase. Recommended LBAS for Nishimura Fleet
Use of the in-route/node support expedition is recommended should difficulties arise. Please note that Node N is not a boss node. Kurita Fleet Phase Recommended Fleets Note: The route requires no more than 3 slow ships based on ORIGINAL speed, turbines and boilers may NOT be used to override the requirements. This route involves 2 airstrikes followed by 3 surface battles prior to the boss.
The FCF is usually for retreating damaged ships, however, this map possesses some differences
Despite this issue, bringing an FCF is still a valid option especially when chipping, given the difficulty of node R. Additionally, there is no LoS check between the pre-boss and boss nodes.
The Escort Water Princess will be in a combined fleet, notably, her main fleet includes transport ships which themselves pose little threat to your fleet other than drawing fire. The boss will only attack your fleet at night if you have a searchlight equipped; consider the risk of an attack against the rewards of bringing one to increase your night battling capability. The boss, especially on hard mode, has extremely high armor (278 on hard), torpedo CIs here are highly recommended. Yukikaze and Myoukou are amongst the best choices for this map to take advantage of the Kurita fleet bonuses, especially in the absence of a luckmodded Maya/Choukai . With regard to LBAS options, at least 3 bombers should be used, with the final slot being either a bomber or fighter. There is no point in using a fighter if doing so would not change the air state from AI to AD (see aerial combat). AO as an option With regard to final form (on hard mode), an AO with one Maritime Resupply may be considered to offset the fuel and ammo penalties. Nonetheless, there are two key tradeoffs that need to be made:
The Friend Fleet It is possible to influence what friend fleets will arrive:
At this point, the three fleets which could appear are DesDiv19 (default), the European fleet (weakish), and Nishimura (ideal) To exclude the European fleet would require one of Warspite, Ark Royal, Richelieu, or Jervis to be run. The only non-impractical way to exclude this fleet would be to use Richelieu in place of a Kongou (or Warspite in place of a Nagato/Yamato). Using Richelieu, of course, comes with its tradeoffs in terms of fleet composition, and may be more practical for medium or easy difficulties. LBAS Recommendations
This node requires a combat radius of 5. There being no enemy carriers here allows 4 bombers to be run.
This node requires a combat radius of 4. At least three bombers should be sent to the boss, the fourth group, however, depend upon the difficulty. Achieving AD (on hard) requires approximately 96+ fighter power, if this threshold cannot be reached with the addition of a single fighter (remember that bombers contribute AA as well), it would simply be better to use four bombers. (link provided below) On Last Dance, you may wish to consider committing both LBAS to the boss node to maximize your chances of victory. As with other last dance runs, both support expeditions are recommended; sparkling your fleet is also an additional option should issues arise. Additional Reading: LBAS Fighter Chart

Tips
Event Planning For this map, you will be using members of the Shima Fleet. Historic Members of Battle of Ormoc Bay CA: Ashigara,Nachi Despite historically being involved with the Shima fleet, members such as Abukuma, Shiranui, and Aoba do not count for this segment of the event, and may be used on other maps, Abukuma in particular may be deployed where issues arise. Tagging Rules
E5 Objectives E5 is a map with two phases, with additional requirements to unlock the second phase.
Phase 1 - Transport Phase The Transport Operation is relatively straightforward with the appropriate number of historical ships (2 on Easy / 3 on Normal / 5 on Hard). Even on hard, most of this phase presents few issues, largely due to the presence of an additional LBAS squadron. Clearing the TP bar Example fleet: 2CA CL 3DD DD/Akitsumaru With the appropriate number of historical ships, the route taken is C-D-E-G-F-H-I-J-L, with two airstrike nodes and 2 surface nodes prior to the boss As with other transport operations, your main objective should be to bring as many drums and/or landing craft as possible while scoring at least an A-rank at the boss. Unusually, the Type 2 Ka-Mi Tank grants 22 TP points on an S-rank at the boss, far more than it has provided in previous TP maps. Key points:
The TP phase boss consists of the Light Cruiser Princess with a CVL (2 on hard), and most other ships being CAs, CLs, and DDs. The upshot being that as only an A-rank is required to -deplete the TP bar, the enemy flagship does not necessarily have to be sunk, even on the final form. As such, killing enough of the escort fleet to allow the night battle to be against the the main enemy force is usually enough to secure the 4 kills needed to deplete the bar. AP/AS at node D LBAS sorties with 4 fighters apiece can be used to decrease the air power requirement at node D prior to the air battle. Akitsumaru makes achieving AP/AS here a trivial issue following fighter sweeps; however, in the absence of Akitsumaru, Seaplane fighters will be required. Medium difficulty requires 326 for AP, which should be reduced by the aforementioned fighter sorties. Air Superiority on a Raid The simplest way to achieve this is to utilize 3 interceptors and a saiun at both available bases, set to defense. A single submarine may be sortied to trigger the raid. Note that only Air Superiority is required, not a perfect defense.
This phase does not allow the use of AVs or Akitsumaru (which will start the fleet at the first phase start point) on any difficulty, as such, your primary source of air support will come in the form of LBAS, and if you choose to employ them, CAVs. Given the post-cap firepower buffs received by historical members, however, this map is very doable even without any fighter power in the fleet itself. If you are not utilizing any fighter power, then utility equips may replace the recon planes as LoS requirements permit. This guide has been written in the context of hard mode, differences will be mentioned where possible. The best routing in this map is achieved through the use of 2CA(V) CL 4DD, with most other compositions offrouting, starting at the wrong start point, not being allowed to enter the map, or simply being inferior (e.g. bringing a DE)
This phase comprises a single airstrike node and two surface nodes prior to the boss node. As with the first phase of this map, vanguard formation may be utilized to make it through the surface nodes, with the FCF utilized where taihas occur. Importantly, the pre-boss node possesses a submarine on some forms, which will draw fire from at least five of your ships. Sonars may be used as needed, or LBAS may include a single ASW bomber, with Double Line being another possible option (when support shelling is used), in most cases, however, vanguard formation should suffice. The boss of this map is Heavy Cruiser Princess. Obtaining AS here is not likely, nonetheless, this boss is fairly easy to kill due to the combination of LBAS and the post-cap bonuses of most ships. TCIs for this boss are not required due to the previously-covered post-cap firepower bonuses. As with other maps, pre-boss support, boss support, and sparkling should be used as required. Do remember that the use of vanguard formation will affect the efficacy of your support shelling. Recommended LBAS 4 Fighters f or node N or.. 3 Bombers 1 ASW Bomber for node P Combat radii of 4 and 5 are required for nodes N and P respectively. Node N is an airstrike risk, while node P can be somewhat annoying with its submarine. This LBAS base is mostly flexible and can be used as seen fit.
A combat radius of 6 is required for the boss node. A fighter should be added only if doing so would improve your air state.

Tips Tagging Rules
E6 Objectives E6 contains mutiple objectives that need to be comlpleted depending of the difficulty level. Objectives will be listed in order of difficulties. Phase 1 Objectives - Shima Striking Force
Phase 2 Objectives - Kurita Striking Force
Phase 3 Objectives - Shima Striking Force Required Ships Phase 1: 2DDs mandatory, fast fleet mandatory Phase 2: 2DDs mandatory Phase 3: 2DDs mandatory, fast fleet mandatory Phase 1 - AV Hime 2DD Mandatory, Fast mandatory. AV Hime will require the use of the Shima fleet (Purple). This phase is relatively straightforward. Attaining AS here is completely impractical (504 FP) if not impossible, as it would require the sacrifice of Nachi and Ashigara, removing bombers from LBAS for fighters, and more. Key Pointers:
The final composition of the fleet would therefore look along the lines of: SSV 2FBB 2CA 3DD
The boss node of E6 Phase 1 contains AV hime, due to the historical bonuses and the presence of the friend fleet, finishing this phase should be relatively simple and is mostly a matter of time and resources given proper setups. Phase 2 - BB Hime Kai BB Hime requires the use of the Kurita fleet (Green), this phase is arguably the hardest of the three due to the extreme durability of the boss. One CAV should be used to provide AP/AS (3-4 Seaplane fighters) at the boss. Node V - BB Hime Kai BB Hime Kai represents most of the challenge in clearing E6; this is largely due to two factors, her extreme durability, and the lack of a friend fleet.

Tips Tagging Rules
Historical Fleet Bonus Notes
E7 is divided into distinct phases that must be completed in order.
Preferred Composition: Main Fleet: 4 CV(B) / 2 (F)BB
Key Note:
While making your path to Node Q you will be facing off against 2 Air Battles, 2 Surface Battles before reaching Node Q.
Preferred LBAS Node Q
If you wish to bring an LBAS here with fighters, you'll need to have a Type 2 Flying Boat to reach the required distance. With the air strength and bombers, it should make possible to score an A rank on Node Q without issue. Defending the Base
One Easy and higher difficulties, you'll need to protect your land base from Air raids against your base. Bring enough interceptors and fighters to gain AS 1-2 times. Once the conditions are met the path to the Battleship Water Demon Kai will be unlocked. Sinking Battleship Water Demon Kai Preferred Composition: [1]An alternative main fleet composition that does not utilize a Seaplane Fighter (SPF) CAV mule. This composition is not recommended in harder difficulties due to lacking surviability in the pre-boss nodes. [2]AO should only be considered for Last Dance on Medium / Hard Difficulty, all other difficulties can be usually done without using an AO. In this segment, your fleet will need to go through a series of battles against carriers, subs and other various ships while dealing with not having AS over the majority of the battles.
Node V - Battleship Water Demon Kai In this boss battle, the Battleship Water Demon Kai will be a strong and powerful opponent as she has high armor making her difficult to beat. If you are playing on Medium and Hard difficulty, bringing LBAS to the boss is HIGHLY REQUIRED to have a chance at defeating the boss. However, due to the range requirements this map needs to reach the boss please consider following:
Using the combination of Historical Ships, along with a Boss Support Fleet, LBAS, and Friend Fleet you will need to deliver a strong of a blow as you can against the Hime during the entire course of the battle. Consider leaving the Friend Fleet 10th Battle Divsion comprising of Yahagi, Isokaze, Hamakaze, Urakaze and Yukikaze open to appear. They have a high rate of being chosen over the Destroyer Division 19 Friend Fleet.
When you reach the final kill, the Battleship Water Demon Kai will get a larger boost in her armor (up to 305 on Hard) along with a stronger fleet composition(can have up to 2 Battleship Princess on Hard) resulting in your fleet having to depend on crits and low armor rolls to deal suitable damage to her.
Once you have successfully defeated the Battleship Water Demon Kai the path to the Abyssal Crane Princess will open. Suggested LBAS Node N
Since Node N has a powerful set of submarines, using an ASW LBAS is Highly Recommended to take out as many of the submarines as possible leaving only the New Submarine Princess left to deal with. Node V
The air power requirement for air denial (AD) on this node is low enough that a base with 3 LBAA can achieve this. It is highly recommended that you aim to achieve this if possible. Ensure that your base(s) are configured optimally and in the correct order to take advantage of phase 1 shot downs of previous LBAS waves.
Node D Preferred Composition: Main Fleet: 4 CV(B) / 2 (F)BB
Node H Preferred Composition:
Suggested LBAS Node H
Node G Preffered Composition:
Preffered Composition:
Once the conditions are complete, the shortcut paths will become available.
Note:If you are playing Casual and Easy, disregard this section all together and proceed to "Sinking the Abyssal Crane Princess". In Medium and Hard Difficulty it is possible to boost your fleet's historical damaged beyond the 1.2x by completing the following requirements:
Node Q Preffered Composition:
Node Q
Though you may not reach AS on this node, being able to prevent air denial (AD) can help make it more possible to secure an A rank here. Node M and Node W Preffered Composition:
Suggested LBAS Node M
Node H
Upon completing the Conditions, the following changes will happen:
Sinking the Abyssal Crane Princess Recommended Composition: Abyssal Crane Princess Fast CTF composition Depending on the difficulty, the final phase of the event will either require extensive effort or can be simple. The way you'll need to tackle the boss will be similar but can consist of some differences.
Once you made it to the boss node, depending on the difficulty, the following things should be considered: Abyssal Crane Princess on Medium and Hard Mode With the debuff method complete on Medium and Hard mode, the Abyssal Crane Princess will become significantly weaker against historical ships. However, in order to make the win far more successful, you will need to not only bring the proper kanmusu for the job but also efficiently rig the Friend Fleets to get some of the best possible benefits. Below here are a few important points regarding ships to consider for Medium and Hard Mode Difficulty:
Abyssal Crane Princess on Casual and Easy Mode On this difficulty, you will be lacking the full-scale debuff effect as there is no way to trigger this feature on casual and easy mode. Expect to be putting more effort into your fleet's own strength however even without the debuff, historical ships are still important.
Preffered LBAS Node X
To bring any fighters to help lower the air power at the boss node, you're going to need a fighter plane with a range of 6 or greater. Hayabusa and Type 52 Fighters should be able to reach this with the assistance of a Type 2 Flying Boat. Since the boss contains a lot of air power, you want your first set of LBAS planes to clean out as many of the planes as you can while having the remaining bases bring fighters and bombers to wipe out what ships they can. During the Final Kill, the air power requirement is lower so it is possible to use fewer fighters and more bombers to the boss node. Once the boss is successfully defeated, the event is considered complete. What to do if you don't have a Type 2 Flying Boat? Without a Type 2 Flying Boat you fleet will have a very difficult time securing the win at the boss node. Since the boss has a huge amount of air power. If you are challening a harder difficulty you will find score the win quite difficult. If possible seek out Akitsushima from E-2 if you can and train her to get her Flying Boat. Otherwise the main options are to either lower the difficulty or try to use your LBAS in different methods: Node M
A fighter sweep over this node can help reduce the total number of abyssal bombers that will target your fleet in the opening phase. You may potentially disable the carriers in this node by deplaning them with Fleet AA and AACI. Node W
This node features a surface fleet that can often present trouble to the escort fleet since they can occasionally appear in Line ahead or Vanguard Formation. Using and LBAS to clear some if not most of the enemy ships out can help here.
Unlike the other LBAS method used on the boss, this method is more of a Last Resort measure to try wiping out some of the enemies in the boss node. Since if you're lacking in a flying boat, this will be the only way you can bring anything to the boss and killing some ship may be possible, but it will also likely result in your losing a large amount of planes and possibly lose your Land Base Bomber's rank in the process. Only consider this option if you have no other means of bringing fighters to the boss node.

もし今 明かりが消え、向かい風に沈んでも。 この夜も、この星も、きっと巡りゆく。 あなたと歩んだ季節いつでも胸で光ってる。 私たち心の桜まだ見ぬ春芽吹くから。 あなたと目指した優しい未来きっと信じてる。 |
Moshi ima akari ga kie, mukaikaze ni shizun demo, "Kono yoru mo, kono hoshi mo, kitto meguri yuku." Anata to ayunda kisetsu itsu demo mune de hikatteru. Watashitachi kokoro no sakura mada minu haru mebuku kara. Anata to mezashita yasashii mirai kitto shinjiteru. |
Even if the light fades and we succumb to the headwinds, "This night, this world, they'll keep spinning." The seasons I walked with you still glow in my heart. There are still unseen springs for the cherry blossoms in our hearts to bloom in. I'll always believe in the gentle future I aimed for with you. |
