Tips

To complete the map, you need to defeat the boss flagship 5 times.

  • Clearing this map rewards 200 Ranking points and a medal.
  • The map will reset at midnight JST at the beginning of every month.
  • 5-5 is arguably among the most difficult maps in the game.
    • 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 easier 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.
      • This is especially true if said quests require 2DDs, as DDs will face difficulty to deal 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 ASW or even OASW ship must be brought if one wishes to secure an S-rank.
  • Node B is a submarine node.
  • Nodes G and M are Night Nodes.
  • Pre-boss Node P 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 may improve survivability against opening torpedoes.
  • The Special Attacks (Touch) are good options to consider if you want to clear out enemies at the boss node easier.
  • As every World 5 map, Support Expeditions are available to help you clear the map, something often useful to clear harder quests.

Recommended Fleet

Very strong, but also costly fleets.

  • 4-6BB(V)/CV(L), 0-2CA(V)
  • Route = B K P S
  • 4BB(V)/CV(L), 2DD
  • Route = B F J P S
    • LoS required: ≥ 81 (Cn2)
    • Using more than 4BB(V)/CV(L) or 1 SS(V) gives a 35% chance of off-routing to node Q
    • 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 & Hyuuga Kai Ni are good option to get additional fighter power, however, they are weaker in terms of firepower compared to most BBs.
    • SPB should not be used in smaller slots due to the potential presence of multiple Light Cruiser Tsu-Class along this route.

  • 2(F)BB(V), 2DD, 1CA(V), 1CLT/CA(V)
  • Route = B F D H N O S
    • LoS required: ≥ 67 (Cn2)
    • Easier preboss, but will struggle against the double Re Elite boss node formations.
    • Node D is a maelstrom node that wipes out your fuel. Recommended to bring some radars to reduce the loss.

  • 2(F)BB(V)/CV(L), 4DD
  • 2(F)BB(V)/CV(L), 2XX, 2DD (XX can't be (F)BB(V)/CV(L))
  • Route = Route = A C E G I M O S
    • LoS required: ≥ 67 (Cn2)
    • The first battle is a relatively easy enemy torpedo squadron, but the next two battles are fairly dangerous Night Nodes.
      • 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.
    • Lower bauxite consumption when compared to other routes.
