The short answer, i would advise against it.

The long answer; you *could* given a very large stockpile of resource.

Searchlight is nice and very helpfull but not mandatory, made a few run without wasn't that big of a deal, same for starshell as often it simply doesn't trigger, a lot of my kills were with it not triggering at all, same with FCF while it is very helpfull specially to save rsc while chipping, i simply did not have it as i got my Ooyodo in E7 after the full hard clear so again more of a luxury then a requirement.

However high level ships are quite important for evasion (specially without FCF) because contrary to the previous maps you will encounter several nodes with high one shot potential 2 himes in all routes / BBs / night battles. And accuracy as you will face late models with higher evasion in a combined fleet.

You will need good equipment again for accuracy and required mechanics like achieving at least AS which will be very difficult if you do not have appropriate ship (kai ni cvl for example and/or equipment like saiun reppuu).

Some kai ni are highly recomended for example CLTs get a immense power spike when kai ni, just the ability to equip one aditional item gives them the ability to use their Hyoteki AND DA/CI in yasen making them immensely more powerfull.

Now for the TLDR to answer your question, while it will be very hard unless ungodly amount of luck the bare minimum of what you really *need* is :


 * Ability to form a fleet that can secure AS while sacrificing minimal amount of firepower and maintaining good amount of accuracy (no overweight guns and such)


 * Enough rsc/buckets to shrug off the many forced retreat you will suffer from a low lvl fleet.


 * Luck, and large amount of patience and sanity.

Good luck.
