If you're having trouble getting your fleet to the boss node mostly unscratched (especially I node), try both nodes and boss support expeditions together. But watch your resources!

Also, shining the entirety of your main fleet and node support fleet and the flagship of your boss support fleet can be helpful.

You should invest in 2 http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Type_3_Shell for your CAs for bonus damage agains the boss if you don't have them already.

Put your CAs at the bottom of your fleet to let the CL and DDs (try to) kill the pillboxes so the big firepower can go to the boss in night battle.

If all the above isn't working, that sadly means it's a matter of stats. You can go (yes, during the event) grind your CAs at 3-2A if unlocked and your DDs and CL at 1-5 (don't kill the boss at 1-5 if you don't want your HQ lvl to skyrocket). Here's a clear and easy guide to 1-5 from our beloved Admiral Mikado: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Oour9_EqA.
