Diamond won't offer you any notable benefits, so no. Hoppo node is one of the few surface nodes in the game where I recommend Line Abreast, if your goal is just to get past her. Normally, I think best offence is the best defence, but in Hoppo node even if you pick Line Ahead, there is a very small chance that in the first shelling phase you can damage Hoppo, the only threat in that node, to medium so as to disable her for the second shelling phase. There is definitely a chance for that when Sanshiki are equipped, but I'd still recommend the defensive Line Abreast instead since the chance is quite low. If offence is no good, defence is the best choice to go with.
