World 1-1: 鎮守府正面海域 Sea in Front of the Naval Base

Strategy Name	近海警備 (Coastal Waters Defense)
Difficulty	☆
Item	None
Strategy Content	鎮守府正面近海の警備に出動せよ！ Mobilize for a patrol of the waters outside the naval base!

Map Unlocking & Progression

1-1 is unlocked by default when starting the game.

To clear the map, the boss's flagship must be sunk once.

Stage Guide

1-1 Branching Rules
Nodes		Rules
A	B	If fleet consists of 1 ship, 20% chance If each additional ship, add 5% chance per ship
	C	If fleet consists of 1 ship, 80% chance If each additional ship, subtract 5% chance per ship

Tips

• This map is commonly used for sparkling ships.
  • This involves running the ship you want to sparkle in the flagship position.
  • Sometimes this is done alone, which minimizes MVP-theft (a rare problem); however, more commonly two fodder ships (destroyers picked up from 1-1 while you are sparkling) are placed in the second and third slots to minimize the chances of enemy vessels scratching your flagship. They are not refueled and are scrapped or used as modernization fodder once they can no longer be deployed.
• Single-ship fleets have an 80% chance of reaching the boss node, and the chance of reaching it decreases with every additional ship in your fleet.
  • While this can be useful for completing Bw1, you may wish to sortie a fleet of multiple ships to help prevent your sparkle ships (the ships which will take up the flagship position) from taking damage at the boss node.
  • You are recommended to sparkle ships (for expeditions or to improve their performance in battle) while completing Bw1.

Notes:

Fuel Farming

Node D is a good spot to farm fuel . The recommended fleet are:

• Kamoi/Souya, 4-5DD, 0-1SS(V)
• 1AV/AO, 4-5DD, 0-1SS(V) (if lacking those AO)
• Route = A D B E

The base gain is 10/15/20 .

• Has many Landing Craft and Amphibious Tanks should be equipped to maximize fuel gain (+3 per craft).
  • Drums work as an inferior substitute (+2 per drum).
  • Only using those equipment in the fleet is a viable solution.
• When lacking enough Amphibious Tanks for SS(V), Drum-capable SS are recommended as a substitute.
• When using an AO, the reach rate is 100%, but is only 80% when using an AV instead.
• Once the first battle is complete, "retreat" and "resupply" before going back out.

If done correctly, this can result in an outstanding fuel gain that can surpass expedition gains.

• Using "cheap" ships to refuel in the fleet (such as Kamikaze-class and Mutsuki-class) will optimize the fuel consumption/farming.
• It is alternatively possible to use throwaway DDs with Drums that are never refueled until they are critically damaged, and then scraped to save on resources (do not forget to swap their drums with the new ones before doing this).

Tips

This is the first map in which the enemy fleets possess carriers (with at least one node of carriers in every route). If you do not bring your own carriers, your ships must deal with aerial bombing prior to being able to counter-attack during the shelling phase(s). You have a few ways to deal with enemy carriers:

1. Ignore the enemy carriers' bombing, which is possible with durable ships (at least CLs, preferably CAs or higher).
2. Bring a submarine-only fleet (likely from shipbuilding, as there is no submarine drop before 1-5), as only enemy CL and DDs can attack submarines.
3. Bring your own carriers, which can be obtained through either remodeling Chitose and/or Chiyoda at Level 15 to CVL, or through shipbuilding.

• The third method will also help in completing the quest chain which rewards Akagi: A11 (have a CV(L) and 3 destroyers in your second fleet) and B10 (sink an enemy carrier).
• This map is also convenient for completing Bw2, preferably with a fleet of three subs. The echelon formations here hurt them far less than those in 2-2.

Recommended Fleets

• 1AV, 1CL, 2DD, 2XX
• 4DD, 2XX (XX can't be SS(V))
  • Random routing.

Stage Guide

1-5 Branching Rules
Nodes		Rules
D	E	Meet ANY of the following to go to E Fleet only contains DEs Fleet contains AO Amount of ships in fleet = 1 If Amount of ships in fleet ≥ 5 (Overrides E node branching) Go to F if fleet also contains SS(V) Otherwise, random routing Otherwise, go to F
	F
E	C	Go to C if the amount of ships in fleet ≥ 5 Go to J if fleet only contains DE Otherwise, C
	J

	I	Do not meet the requirements to go to G.
G	H	Amount of ships in fleet is ≥ 5
	J	Amount of ships in fleet is ≤ 4

Tips

• Enemy fleets along the route to the boss are composed purely of submarines.
  • Always use Line Abreast against SS.
  • At various HQ level thresholds, enemy compositions will increase in difficulty, but if training a fleet of DD, CL, and DE, and also maintaining strong ASW equipment, this should be manageable.
• Using DDs and CLs that have an ASW stat over 100, DEs that have an ASW stat over 60, or ships with native OASW will allow them to perform an OASW attack, which is very helpful on this map.
• This map is very useful to complete Bd8 (Sink 6 Submarines) and Bw5 (Sink 15 Submarines).

See here for more general information about Anti-Submarine Warfare.

Recommended Fleets

• 1CVL, 1BBV 2DD/CL (recommended for beginners)
• Route = A D F G J
  • Equipping a Saiun to the CVL will minimize the chance of Red T Disadvantage.
  • At least 1 BBV is recommended as it is capable of performing ASW while also granting a second shelling phase.
  • A CVE (ASW CVL) is highly recommended for this map as they are CVLs capable of fighting submarines efficiently.
  • See OASW for more detail on how they work.

• 2-4DD/DE, 0-2CL
• Route = A D F G J
  • The use OASW capable ships is highly recommended since the ships will be able to perform two rounds of ASW attacks, with one before any enemy SS opening torpedo attack.

• 4DE
• Route = A D E J
  • DEs are more economical resources-wise.
  • The path is a bit easier while also reaching the boss node.

Sparkling

This map can now also double for Flagship Sparkling for any DD, CL, or DE, preferably with OASW.

• Recommended Sparkling Fleet:
  • 1DD/CL, ASW focused (OASW is preferred, but not essential), as flagship, and 2 to 3 throwaway LV 1 DDs.
  • By doing this, the flagship is sparkled while taking almost no damage, aside from the occasional bad targeting roll.
  • Critically, this leveling method works best after HQ 80, as throwaway destroyers without ASW equipment are unable to defeat the armor of the most subs on the map, guaranteeing the flagship being MVP.
  • Most importantly, by covering three nodes, far more morale is gained per run than from 1-1.
  • If planning to use throwaway DDs, be sure to not use DDs planned to keep/train since they are meant to be scraped afterward.

Tips

There is no Boss node in this map. Instead, the final "Harbor Node" at N serves as the map's endpoint.

• A random amount of resources of either fuel, ammo, steel, or bauxite is rewarded upon reaching node N.
  • The amount of resources rewarded at node N is great before clearing , and modest after clearing.

(F)BB, CV, CLT, and SS(V) are not allowed on this map.

• Only BBV, CVL, CA(V), CL, CT, DD, DE, AV, LHA, AS, AO, and AR can be used.
• Using BBV, CA, or CVL will route to node C which leads to a harder route. Submarine fleets with line ahead formation appear at node I (1/2 patterns).
  • This route is mostly taken if a player wishes to brute-force the map or complete specific quests.

• "Double-arrow" nodes D F L, are Air Battle nodes.
  • Daytime combat at these nodes has two Aerial Combat phases but no shelling. It's also possible to do night battle afterward, unlike regular Air nodes.
  • If the fleet has no ships that can attack during Aerial Combat, it will get a D rank (see 1st D rank condition), unless entering night combat.
• Node N not being considered a boss node, it will not count towards certain quests (namely Bw1) that require reaching a boss node.
• Because N is the End Node, it is possible to advance with a heavily damaged ship (taiha) from node B or D without risk of sinking any ship.
  • An exception is if the flagship is heavily damaged, where retreat is forced. However, if it is equipped with a Damage control
    , it is possible to activate it and continue (the item is not consumed here).
• Having a ship with AACI is highly recommended to reduce damage taken on Air Battle nodes.
• Node E is a submarine node with Echelon formation. Because this node is so minor in nature, bringing ASW equipment is not required.

Recommended Fleet

• 1CL, 5DD
• Route = A E G F B N
  • The only composition that guarantees this routing.
  • You can also use 6DD / 2CL, 4DD / 1LHA, 1CAV, 4DD / 2CAV, 4DD / 2AV, 4DD / 2AO, 4DD as you maybe able to get B rank at Node F with these fleets, but these can off-route you from G to K, which is a harder route.

• 2BBV, 1CL, 3DD
• Route = C H K M J D N
  • Should only be used for some quests such as Bq3.
  • Goes through a longer and more dangerous route compared to the light fleet.
  • There is an LoS check at node M. You need to have LoS > 30 (Cn3) in order to go from M to J.

Resource Nodes

G M are "Special Resource Nodes" rewarding respectively ammo , and fuel .

Additionally, node N is a special case with its unique set of rules.

• See here for more details.
