Tips

By the number order of the world map, this is the first time Wo Flagship II and Tsu-Class Light Cruisers appear. Wo Flagship II is notably much stronger than the previously encountered Wo Flagship I due to the addition of Abyssal Hell Dive Bomber, while the Tsu-Class has much higher stats compared to the other enemy CL.

  • With the presence of Tsu-Class Light Cruisers, there is a chance to lose a large number of bombers (or even their rank, should the Tsu shoot all of them down) before reaching the boss node. Keep this in mind when equipping bombers on any CV(L).
  • Node E is a submarine node without warning.
  • As with every World 5 map, Support Expeditions are available to help with clearing the map, often useful to clear harder quests.

Recommended fleets

  • 3XX, 1CL, 2DD with 2(F)BB(V) maximum
    • Route = B C F J
    • 1BB is replacable by 1CVL.
    • Taking 2(F)BB(V)+1CVL will introduce random off-routing to H.
    • Taking CV(B) will introduce random off-routing to E which continues Node G.

Route = B C F J

Monthly (Bm4):

  • 3BB(V), 1CL, 2DD
  • Route = Random:
    • B E G J
    • A D E G J
  • This quest requires to "S rank" the boss with a fleet of 3 "Japanese BB(V)s" (anything but Kongo-class), 1CL, and 2 other ships.
    • Foreign BBs do not count for this quest.
    • Those other two ships should be 2DDs to guarantee boss routing.
Quarterly Mikawa (Bq7):
  • 3CA, 1CL, 2DD
  • Route = B C F J
  • Support Expedition is advised for the boss.

Resource Nodes

C H are "Normal Resource Nodes" rewarding respectively steel  , and ammo  .
