If you want to save resources AND reach the boss node every single time, bring a fleet that allows you to use the northern route. This means:

No CV/CVL/CVB whatsoever; no BB; no SS; at least two ships need to have a drum canister equipped.

My regular fleet composition is 2 DD 4 CAV.

The DDs have cut-in setup because Beaver and Shigure Kai-2. Two of my CAVs have two main guns and two Zuiun planes, while the other two have two main guns, a Zuin and a Drum Canister. The only difficult part of the northern route is Black Rick Shooter on the night battle node. The only thing you can do is pick Echelon formation and pray it doesn't use a cut-in, the cut-in does only scratch damage or your ships kill it first. The boss itself isn't that much of problem, though. The seaplanes guarantee Air Supremacy, and the double attacks usually wreck the boss fleet. And if those aren't enough, there's still night battle.
