If you want to drop and/or farm Roma at E-6, several nodes have her as a potential drop, most notably Node K immediately after the Anchorage Water Demon at Node H. However, the Anchorage Water Demon is notorious for wrecking just about any surface ship in the game.

This is a potential solution to the problem by utilzing the submarine tanking method from E5:

-Put 2 SS in your fleet, one in the 1st Fleet, one in the 2nd Fleet (they can't be flagships, or else you can't form the Combined Fleet)

-Use a Carrier Task Force (this helps to eliminate all the enemies that pose an actual threat to the subs)

-NOTE: This composition is NOT a good idea for reaching the boss node, since CV Hime at the preboss node will probably wreck your CVs.

Essentially, you want to have 1 or 2 Air Superiority Fighters (Reppu or Reppu variants recommended) per CV, and fill the rest of the slots with Torpedo Bombers. The CVs should eliminate the enemy DDs with their opening air strike. If you do this correctly, the results for Node H (Anchorage node) should look something like this:




 * Notice how the submarines have taken 1 point of damage apiece. This is because the Anchorage Water Demon was forced to attack them. We are not responsible for any heavy damage due to the opening air strike.

After this, just go to Node K and finish that battle with an easy S-Rank. If you get lucky, you can get Roma! After that, just head home (unless you want to try your luck with CV Hime).

Good luck and happy farming this event, fellow TTKs!
