Tips

Regarding the map

  • By the number order of the world map, this is the first time Wo Flagship with hellcat planes and Light Cruiser Tsu-Class appear. Wo Flagship with hellcat planes is notably much stronger than it's normal Flagship counterpart, while CL Tsu-Class has much higher stats compared to the other enemy CL.
    • With the presence of CL Tsu-Class, there is a chance you will lose a lot of bombers (Or even their rank, should Tsu shot all of them down) before reaching the boss node. Keep this in mind if you wish to bring any bombers on your CV(L)
  • Node E is actually a submarine node without warning.


Regarding the branching and recommended fleet

  • 2 DD and 2 or less (F)BB(V) + CV(B/L) to guarantee B start.
  • 1 CL and 2 DD to guarantee boss node.
  • 3 XX 1 CL 2 DD with a maximum of 2 (F)BB(V) will take the shortest BCFJ route.
    • 1 BB can be replaced with a CVL.


Regarding the quests in this map

  • Monthly Quest: "Surface Strike Fleet" to the South! (Bm4) : 3 BB(V) 1 CL 2 DD
    • This quest requires three slow battleships (or BBVs), exactly one light cruiser, and two other ships, with an S-Rank at the boss node.
      • Specifically, the 3 slow battleships must be Yamato-class, Ise-class, and/or Fusou-class BB(V)s. As of this time, other slow BBs such as Nelson and Warspite do not appear to count for the purposes of this quest.
      • Those other two ships should be 2 DD to guarantee boss routing.
  • Quarterly Mikawa (Bq7) : 3 CA 1 CL 2 DD
    • Routes BCFJ, requires Support Expedition for easier time pre-boss.

  • Unlocking 5-2 requires clearing both 4-4 and 5-1.
  • You must sink the boss 4 times to clear the map.

Tips

  • This map is based on the historical operation known as Operation MO. Ships that participated in this operation can be used here to obtain special routing on this map.


  • Like map 5-1, Standard Carrier Wo-Class Flagship with hellcat planes also makes an appearance here, especially at pre-boss nodes
    • AACI is required if you wish to reach the boss node consistently
  • The boss can be either Wo Kai Flagship or Aircraft Carrier Demon.
    • Sinking Aircraft Carrier Demon can be a bit harder than sinking Wo Kai Flagship, therefore, do prepare a lot of good equipment and high-level girls before attempting this map for the best success rate
    • With the use of AACI, it's possible to destroy all of the enemy bombers at the boss node, completely disables the boss at day battle which can make the boss fight a lot easier

Recommended Fleet

  • Shoukaku, Zuikaku, 2 DD, 2 [(F)BB(V)+CA(V)] / 2CV(L/B), 2DD, 2CA(V) routes BCDFO
    • Please note that the fleet must be Fast.
    • Los required: >= 71 (F33 Cn2)
    • Any heavier fleets (refer to branching rules) are not recommended as these have a chance of off-routing to Node I, which will likely significantly deplete your bomber count due to the nature of that node.

  • You must sink the Boss 5 times to clear the map.

Tips

  • Unlike the previous maps, all of 5-3 pre-boss nodes feature night battle, where every enemies drastically become more powerful compared to the day battle.
    • The use of Support Expeditions is highly recommended for both pre-boss and boss fights.
      • With normal support expedition help, you can minimize the risk of your ships getting heavily damaged and subsequently increase the chances of your fleet arriving to the boss node in good conditions.
      • The use of Support Shelling is highly recommended, as Aerial Support will not trigger on pre-boss nodes, while Long Range Torpedo Attacks may activate but will cause negligible amounts of damage.
    • Taking advantage of night battle equipment (Star Shell and Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)) and sparkling your ships are recommended.
      • Usage of the Searchlight, however, is highly discouraged due to the drastic evasion reduction the equipping ship suffers in night battle.
  • Regarding boss node, the boss of this map is Southern War Princess who has pretty tough armor and firepower that can potentially wreck any of your ships.
    • There is a little chance that 2 Light Carrier Nu-Class Flagship will show up at boss, AACI can be brought here to shoot down enemy bombers and protect your light ships.
    • CAV can carry Seaplane Fighters in order to obtain AS at the boss node (71+ air for the comp with Southern War Princess alone), or at least force AP for the comp with dual Light Carrier Nu-Class Flagship (requires 140+ air for AS otherwise)
    • It's unlikely that you will finish the boss off at day so do expect the battle to last till night.
    • As of the January 22nd update, Southern War Princess has retained her buff from the Winter 2019 Event, giving her more HP and armor, thus making the boss fight slightly harder.


Recommended Fleet

  • D - G - I - O - K - H - E - Q
    • 2 CAV 1 CL 3 DD
      • Standard composition for 5-3 that balance between firepower and evasion.
      • CAVs can trigger Artillery Spotting as long as you have AS at boss, help take out enemy escorts easier.
  • D - G - I - O - K - E - Q
    • 1 FBB 1 CL 2 CA(V) 2 DD
    • 5 CA(V) 1 CL (Quest Bq7)
    • 3 CA(V) 1 CL 2 DD (Quest Bq7)
      • Skipping resource node H for more firepower at the boss node.

  • You must sink the boss 5 times to clear the map.

Tips

  • There are two routes you can go to beat the boss, north and south.
    • North route is occupied with Standard Carrier Wo-Class Flagship IV, who carries Hellcat Kai plane version, and Battleship Ta-Class Flagship, who has high evasion and accuracy. They can potentially damage any of your ships on the way to the boss if not evaded.
      • Node C also has a pattern with 1-2 Enemy Submarines, sometimes in Line Ahead. You are recommended go Line Abreast against this Node (Heavy Ships such as BB/CV can handle all Surface Enemies in the Node even in this formation), and bring OASW capable Destroyers to deal with them.
      • There is an LoS Check in L to go to the Boss Node, requiring above eLoS (F33) Cn=2 of 60 or higher.
    • South route, however, doesn't feature any enemy carrier at all, but instead, you have go through the night battle nodes like in 5-3 against enemy Heavy Cruiser Ri-Class and Late Model DDs
      • Seaplane Fighters are required for this route if you wish to obtain Air Superiority at the boss node, as no CVs are allowed
      • There is an LoS Check in M to go to the Boss Node. It is ignored if your fleet is Fast+. If your fleet is just Fast (and not Fast+), it requires above eLoS (F33) Cn=2 of 45 or higher.
  • No matter which route you take, Light Cruiser Tsu-Class will nearly show up everywhere in this map. Therefore, If you are using a composition with CVs and go north route, you are recommended to use ones with high capacity aircraft slots, and place Bombers only in the Highest Capacity Slots on your CVs to avoid all of your Bombers getting shot down to 0 by the time you reach the Boss Node.

  • You must sink the Boss 5 times to clear the map.
  • Clearing this map rewards 1 medal and 200 points for ranking. The boss HP bar is reset at midnight of the beginning of each month, allowing the reward to be obtained again.
    • The enemy composition at the boss node will be locked into either formation 5 or 6 after clearing. If you are planning on clearing any quests that require you to clear 5-5 with an A/S-Rank, it is recommended that you attempt these quests after clearing 5-5 for the month, as the post-clear boss compositions are significantly less dangerous than the pre-clear comps. The fleet composition restrictions for most of these quests mean that your fleet will face some difficulty in defeating the pre-clear comps, particularly after the buff to the Southern War Princess in Winter 2019 Event (who does not appear at all in post-clear comps).
      • This is especially true if said quests require 2DDs, as DDs will face difficulty in dealing any significant damage to the pre-clear boss comps during the daytime battle
      • Please note that Submarine Yo-Class at the boss node will be in Elite form post-clear, so a dedicated OASW ship must be brought if one wishes to secure a S-rank.
  • As with all World 5 maps, support expeditions 33 and 34 are applicable on this map.
  • Node B is a submarine node.
  • Nodes G and M are night battles.

Tips

  • 5-5 is one of the few maps that has arguably become more difficult after the Phase 2 update.
    • 2 of the pre-clear boss compositions now contain 2 Elite Re-class Abyssals.
    • The Southern War Princess has also gained additional armour followed by Winter 2019 Event
      • Her escort has been slightly weakened to compensate for this. The Submarine in her escort has been changed from an Elite variant to a basic variant.
    • The addition of CL Tsu-class to multiple nodes has also made the map potentially more costly in terms of bauxite.
    • Pre-boss Node P still has the chance of containing an Elite Re-class in Line Ahead.
    • Depending on your choice of ships (and also dependent on engagement modifiers & enemy fleet formation), bulges equipped in Reinforcement Expansion slots may improve survivability against opening torpedoes.
    • Support Expedition(s) may help as well.
  • However, routing to the boss is now guaranteed with the correct composition(s) and sufficient LoS. Speed is also no longer a major factor in determining routing.
  • The special attack (Touch mechanic) from Nelson Kai, Nagato Kai Ni and Mutsu Kai Ni are also a good option to consider if you want to clear out enemies at the boss node easier.


Recommended Fleet

  • North : B-K-P-S or B-F-J-P-S: 4 (F)BB(V)/CV(L/B) + 2 XX
    • LoS required: ≥ 81 F33 Cn2
    • Maximum of 4 (F)BB(V)/CV(L/B), otherwise chance of off-routing at pre-boss node P.
    • Routing B->K or B->F will depend on your fleet. Fleet with either 3CV(B) or 4(F)BB(V)s will always go to K, otherwise will go to F as long as you have 2 DDs.
    • F is a choice node. For the above fleet, routing to J is recommended as D is a maelstrom node, and fleet comp will route to P after H anyway.
    • CAVs can help provide additional fighter power, allowing for optimized set-ups on CVs.
    • Ise Kai Ni is another option if additional fighter power is needed. However, keep in mind that she is significantly weaker in terms of firepower compared to almost every other battleship.
    • Seaplane Bombers should not be used in smaller slots due to the potential presence of multiple Light Cruiser Tsu-Class along this route.
  • Middle : B-F-D-H-N-O-S: 2 (F)BB(V) + 2 CA(V) + 2 DD
    • LoS required: ≥ 67 F33 Cn2
    • Easier preboss, but will struggle against the double Re Elite boss node formations
    • CAV can be replaced with CLT (Maximum 1 CLT)
    • D node is a maelstrom node that wipe out your fuel. Recommended to bring some radars to reduce the loss.
  • South : A-C-E-G-I-M-O-S: 2 [(F)BB(V)+CV(B/L)] + 4 DD
    • LoS required: ≥ 67 F33 Cn2
    • The first battle is a relatively easy enemy torpedo squadron, but the next two battles are fairly dangerous night battles
      • Pre-boss support shelling expeditions can help stabilize the night battles significantly
    • Fleets that take this route will struggle significantly against the double Re Elite boss node formations
    • Generally lower bauxite consumption when compared to other routes
