Kitakami-sama saved the day... leading the E2H friend fleet, of course! She did a 360-ish damage TCI and OHKO a Hime. All Suzutsuki had to do is poking the 2hp left of the boss.

My thought: Friend fleets this time are amazing. Not one is bad, even. And my 1500s torches finally have some use. Now friend fleet will S-rank for you, you just need to somehow drag your fleet to the boss. (and for some reasons, I only counter 1-Hime fleet after FF arrived, save for LD)

I used the 1DD 2BB 2BBV 1CVL fleet, but initially the results are not good. 11 runs, reached the boss twice, C anb B ranks (blame fuel penalty for this). Then I bit the bullet and make a 2nd RoSa rocket, plus two RE on Junyou and Warspite, and stuff my fleet with rockets and bulges. The changes look minor but the results changed drastically, I only taiha-ed by airstrike once afterward. Another benefical adjustment is a good ASW Zuiun on Hyuuga (634 skilled). She and Suzutsuki then help each other kill subs and greatly reduces scratched damage (which, accumulated, will be fatal on node T). The Zuiun often lives until the boss node, where it's only wiped out once.

No Yamato, but I think it's possible to farm post-clear here with friend fleet.

I have regained my morale.
