Easy mode.

8.5 Kills out of 22 trials

1SS, 2CLT in the 2nd fleet

Recommended AS: 250+ for G/H node (CV Demon) to eliminate threats from the air opening strike. Boss node requires much less fighter power.

AACI:  Recommended if your AS is below 300. Enemy opening air strike from CV Demon could be very devastating. Not necessarily Akitsuki.

Sparkling:  All ships from the 1st fleet had morale > 63 at the beginning of sortie

Artillery Spotting: AP shell hybrid setup used on 4 BBs. Each BB used an overweight gun plus a fit gun.

Saiun:  Not used (luckily I never encountered redT at the boss... but twice at the CV Demon node)

CVL:   2 CVL instead of 1 CV to achieve higher AS, while leaving slots for a Damecon and Tomonaga Squadron.

Placement:   The flagship is a CVL with no bombers or Damecon. This disabled the flagship's shelling ability, and completely put her out of the shelling sequence, By the start of the 2nd round shelling, the 2nd ship in your fleet (a very strong BB) will shell BEFORE the enemy CV Demon.

Yase:       KTKM as flagship with torp CI setup. I-58 the 2nd, torp CI setup. Akitsuki with searchlight, followed by Yukikaze w/ torp CI setup + starshell. Jintsu with DA setup & night scout, and the last one is Ooi with DA setup.
