Tips

This map is simple as long as you remember that all maps in World 2 have routing restrictions on the maximum number of CV(L)s. With a limited number of these, your path to the boss is guaranteed.

Recommended Fleets

1(F)BB, 1CV, 1AV, 1CL, 2DD
Route: C E D H
- AV guarantees routing to E, rewarding one

1CL, 1AV, 4DD (fast)
Route: C E H
- This is the shortest route possible to clear this map with only 2 battles.
- The comp is very light and does not have any carrier air strike power. It can be helpful to use AV/CL able to carry out an Opening Torpedo Salvo as well as SPF.
- Replacing the AV with another DD is also possible, though this comes at the cost of airpower and runs the risk of encountering an extra battle by routing C D H instead. It is still a viable alternative though, especially if using strong destroyers.
- AV guarantees routing to E, rewarding one

Steel and Transport Farming

3CV/CVL, 3XX routes C B A
- Good for killing 2 Transports per run and gathering a small amount of steel.
  - But 2-2 is probably better for farming transports, as it does not include an enemy CVL and is therefore less likely to damage your fleet during the opening air combat phase.
- Bringing additional Drums, Landing Craft
  , and Tanks will help you farm additional steel.
