HQ lv. 104 20 subsequent failed tries by hard mode continuous retreats in any carrier demon node with same setup as below even after sparkle them all, then switched to easy mode and got fresh boss kill every sortie.

Fleet setup:


 * Depleting gauge

-- Main fleet

Tone Kai 2 (80) = 20.3 cm (Type 3), 20.3 cm (Type 2), Zuiun 12, FCF

Kongou Kai 2 (98) = 46 cm, 41 cm prototype, Yamato seaplane, radar type 32

Haruna Kai 2 (96) = same guns & recon plane as Kongou, except sanshikidan as substitute for radar

Kirishima Kai 2 (98) = again same guns & recon plane as Kongou, radar type 14

Hiyou Kai (70) = 2x Reppu, 1x Type 62 hybrid bomber, Saiun

Junyou Kai 2 (82) = 2x Reppu, Type 97 Tomonaga, Saiun

-- Escort fleet

Kitakami Kai 2 (98) = 2x 61 cm quint torpedo, ko-hyoteki

Agano Kai (60) = 2x 20.3 cm type 2, type 98 yasen recon

Shigure Kai 2 (82) = 10 cm AA Akizuki gun, 10 cm normal, Type 13 Air Radar Kai

Yuudachi Kai 2 (80) = same as Shigure, except for type 33 radar rather than Type 13 Kai

Yukikaze Kai (71) = 2x 61 cm quint torpedo, type 33 radar

Haguro Kai 2 (80) = 2x 20.3 cm type 2, Yamato plane, sanshikidan


 * Final crush

Main fleet: Junyou substituted with Nagato Kai (98) = 46 cm, 41 cm prototype, Yamato plane & type 91 AP, Hiyou substituted with Kaga (98) = 3x Reppu, Reppu 601, Saiun

Escort fleet: Same as above, just changing destroyer order when primarily aiming for torpedo cut-in attacks, Haguro substituted with Bismarck zwei (70) = 46 cm, 41 cm prototype, Ar196 Kai & sanshikidan

Support expedition: None, Kitakami & Yukikaze torpedoes still enough to save the yasen.

I know hard-tier special medal gives us more pride, but grabbing Amagi is more worth than it... without Yamato or Musashi that hard mode certainly like despair party especially on last preboss node.

Next up, just aiming some resources left for Yamato and Musashi in LSC with RNG blessings...
