So im digging this up to ask for some advice on E-3 hard. I finished farming easy but it looks like akitsumaru is quite important for a clear at harder difficulties and unfortunately I dont have her. What I ran during farming was this:

In order to get AP at boss node and avoid DA from ta/boss I'm probably going to have to run some jank setup of 3 zuiun on both chiyoda/suzuya with fcf. Is there a reasonable shot at clearing without spending 20K+ rsc if I have no akitsumaru? If my goal is to just clear rather than farm is AKBM better than jintsuu for CL of 2nd fleet? not sure whether to use her here or at E4. And lastly if I'm doing node support should I do the aerial support? I was thinking that since most of the ships are light that I dont need BB firepower and light damage should be enough for this.
