WIP - will try with several other combinations later on

(Despite making it to the boss node several times, I didn't manage to fight the boss as at least 1 member of the team was knocked down to critical damage right before it in every single run.) Formation 1

2CA 1CV 1CVL 1DD 1CLT

DD equipped with 2x Torpedo and 1x Depth charge, CLT equipped with 1x Sonar 1x Koukyouteki 1x Torpedo. CV and CVL equipped with 1x Carrier-based Dive Bomber, 1x Carrier-based Fighter Aircraft and 2x Carrier-based Torpedo Bomber each.

1) Flagship: DD

Starting node J > F > G > I (Boss)

2) Flagship: CA

Starting node J > F > G > I (Boss)

Pros: Well-rounded, very high chance (not 100% though) of going to boss node due to the 2 CAs (Node H is the other possibility)

Cons: High-ish resource cost. Needs sufficient levelling (especially for the DD, CLT) in order to make it through the map without taiha.

Formation 2

2CA 1CL 1BB 1CLT 1CVL

CLT equipped with 1x Sonar 1x Koukyouteki 1x Torpedo. CVL equipped with 1x Carrier-based Dive Bomber, 1x Carrier-based Fighter Aircraft and 2x Carrier-based Torpedo Bomber. CL equipped with 1x Radar. Every member is capable of performing artillery spotting (cut-in type) except for the CVL and CLT.

1) Flagship: CA

Starting node J > F > G > ?? (internet disconnected before I could click the button to proceed)

2) Flagship: CA

Starting node J > F > G > ?? (flagship hit critical damage)

Pros: Very high chance of going to boss node due to the 2 CAs and no DDs. Strong firepower/attack damage. High HP given the levels are high enough.

Cons: High resource cost. Long and expensive repairs.

Formation 3

1DD 1CA 1CLT 1CVL 1SS 1CV

Not tried yet.

Pros: Lower resource costs. Slightly shorter and cheaper repairs except for the CV. Seems to be good for levelling?

Cons: Probably won't reach the boss. You'll probably make it to node F but from there on it's random. Low HP with the DD and SS, and in the case of some nodes the SS will be a tank, whether or not this is a good thing is up to your intent. Subs are useless in the submarine node.
