yeah like Nep-Nep said, if all you're looking for is levels do 5-4-A and don't bother with a complete 5-4 run as that WILL dmg you. Both in scrapdmg as well as random crits in bossnode despite S-clearing it without yasen constantly. If the BBs wants to chuu-ha your CVs they will.

You shouldn't really take any dmg in 5-4-A except for the critlord CA that can ruin your day but well shit happens, bucket and rego some time later.

If you DO want to grind 5-4 (complete) a lot I'd suggest mixing up the tripple CV set-up. Minimizes baux loss and you will take no/less dmg from CVs. That'd be:

DD/CL: drum, drum, drum

fast BB: 46cm, 41cm Proto (or 35cm proto, but I feel like 41cm is enough hit), Radar, Yamato plane. You do not need an AP shell in 5-4

CAV: 2x Bismarck gun, Drum, Zuin Model 12 or whatever you have. Make sure the plane is in the big slot

Kaga: Reppu, DMG, Reppu, Reppu

Hiryuu: Reppu, Reppu, DMG, Saiun

Souryuu: Reppu, Reppu, DMG, *whatever*


 * whatever* means that you can pack a recon-2 there, another DMG plane, a radar another reppu if you're having FP problems or whatever else. DMG, is what you have and by all means if you have a Reppu Kai slap that in there as well. Type 62 Fighter is a good option to optimize FP/bomber numbers. All up to you as long as you stay at or above 352 FP (when sortie starts). Your ships should all be maxed statwise but you can obviously use other CVs. Those are just the ones I use when I don't happen upon another lv 1 Souryuu to level :3
