For boss nodes Final will only show up in Final, never before - and it will ALWAYS be in Final state until you clear it. After clearing, it tends to become a random selection.

Non-boss nodes are more complicated as:
 * Sometimes they're fixed
 * Sometimes they're not
 * Sometimes the ships are fixed but the formation they are in is not
 * Sometimes the comp is fixed at Final but may occur randomly before that
 * Sometimes the comp is fixed at Final and will never occur before that

As this is way too difficult to verify and differentiate for THIS many nodes, and because preboss compositions really doesn't matter THAT much for the most part, I left all of the compositions outside boss nodes without Final designations, but every single node across the whole event is ordered by ascending power, where 'power' is an estimate I do as a theorycrafter.

And yes, I'm the person who typed in basically every single composition (other than E1 and E2 Normal, where half of the nodes are typed in by Crazy teitoku and Zephyrast respectively, though I still rearranged the formations in power terms afterwards.

Basically, if a composition is fixed it will almost definitely be the formation that comes last, because that is the strongest composition. If it isn't, it isn't.

P.S. Please follow this convention if you want to help out doing this the next event. It's a royal pain to do 7 maps.
