*AV: Despite the fact that [[Akitsushima]] with her [[Type 2 Flying Boat|flying boats]] can succeed at the air reconnaissance better, her battle output is low, and as the boss fleet is rather tanky, using either [[Chitose]] or [[Chiyoda]] equipped with 2 Zuiun (or variants) and 1 [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] probably is the better choice, especially since the opening torpedo can easily take out a less-armored target before shelling begins. (Akitsushima cannot equip [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]], lower plane capacity, and no torpedo capability, period.) Note that any setup with seaplane bombers have chances being shot down, especially if Tsu-Class Elite shows up at node E, which may result in no air superiority at boss node.

*CL: Generally, your 1~3 best CLs here. Unless your other ships can compensate for the lowered night battle damage, it is not recommended to use [[Ooyodo]] here.  [[Abukuma|Abukuma Kai Ni]] is highly recommenced for here since she can be armed with a [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]].

*DD: Consider the boss fight will require night battle for the most part, and the fact that [[Destroyer Princess]] (harder version) has 115 armor, it is better to bring ships that have better night battle performances. Anti-Air equipment is not required for this map because no enemy fleets here have air capability.
