Do 5-3. Star shell and search light doesnt let you hit harder or take less dmg per se. It simply increases the hit rate and reduces the enemies hit rate. It reduces the night CI which is a pain in the bottom as well. At the end of the day it is all luck. You only need to get past the 1st node to get a chance for some mochi at the next node. And once you get past it, then you reach the node which is supposed to have high drop rates.

It consumes very little resources in comparison since you just need a 2 CA(v) + 1 CL + 3XX fleet. It is tough on the buckets but... farming hoppo is just as bad. In comparison, you might be able to get away with some 1 to 1.5 hour repairs on some DDs and would not need to bucket repair unlike if you run hoppo in 3-5.
