Tips

The map will stay in Final Form once cleared, until the next month's reset. Therefore, it is recommended to do all 3-5 quests pre-clear for an easier time, as doing them post-clear can make the job much harder.

  • LoS requirement:
    • For G K (south) LoS ≥ 28 (Cn4)
    • For H K (north) LoS ≥ ~40 (Cn4)
  • Middle routes (B E H K or F E H K) are not recommended, not only does this require an awkward fleet composition (either 1CL, 2DD in a heavy fleet or 1BB/CV in a light one), Node E presents two Ru-Flags that can potentially damage any of the ships.

Recommended Fleets

  • 1CL, 5DD
  • 1AV, 5DD
  • Route = F G K
    • This is the strongest possible composition that is guaranteed to reach the boss via this route, assuming LoS requirements are met. It is recommended to try the south route with this composition first.
    • Using an  ETSCF Elite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility  can be very helpful to avoid retreats.
    • Sparkling can help for lower-level DDs as it is unlikely to kill or disable all enemies in preboss nodes, which can lead to the closing torpedo salvo critically damaging low-armored DDs.
    • Using   Smokes at node G (Final Form or Post clear only) is also a viable substitute when lacking the ETSCF.

  • 3CV(L)/BB(V), 3CA(V)/SS(V)/CLT
  • Route = B D H K
    • Ships that can activate Anti-Air Rocket Barrage or are specialized in AACI can be used to reduce enemy airstrike damage on the way to the boss node.
    • CV(B)s & BBVs are recommended against CVLs or BBs, so AS is more achievable on all the map.
    • Northern Princess is an Installation that can be neutralized by deplaning her or bringing a SS(V) and force her to attack it with her weak ASW attack.

  • 1AV, 1CL, 4DD
  • 2AV, 2CL, 2DD
  • 3-4AV, 2-3CL
  • Route = Random based on the number of DDs :
    • F G K
    • B C F G K
    • Sacrifices guaranteed routing, but in exchange for opening strikes, and the possibility of AP/AS at Node G on the final clear.
      • There is a risk of getting sent off-course to node B. You may opt to refresh the game if sent to B.

  • 1AO, 2AV, 1CLT, 2CL
    • Route = B C F G K
  • 1AO, 2AV, 1DD/AV, 2CL
    • Route is random between:
      • F G K
      • B C F G K
  • Using AOs like Hayasui or Yamashio Maru, with a   SCAMP  and Bombers may help them deal more damage
  • AV should be armed with either SPB or SPF.
  • CLT and CL capable of carrying Midget Submarine 
     
     
    are preferred as they grant additional opening attacks
  • While more expensive in comparison to other compositions, this is also more likely to reach the boss node.

Resource Nodes

J is a "Special Resource Node" rewarding ammo  .
