E-2 Medium

Surface Task Force: 2 BBV, 2 CAV, 2 CVL + CL, 2 DD, 2 CA, CLT

Route: A-B-E-G-Z

Main Fleet

Escort Fleet

Details: - 6 runs: 5 full kills, 1 retreat (RNG decided that Mikuma should be 1-shotted at node A) - 12 buckets spent - Boss drops: Kirishima, Hiei, Ryuujou x2, Yayoi

Advices (based on Medium difficulty): - Best ships should NOT be used here, or shiplock will screw things over in later maps. Disregard if attempting to clear everything on Easy. - At 5 battle nodes, it will be taxing on fuel. Good equips even on second-grade ships and a bit of luck can save resources from repairs, by eliminating most of the enemy forces before it can strike back. - This route has no carriers, so one can safely load as much bombers as one wants, for the stronkest airstrike, helping to reduce repair expenses. - Due to the massive airstrike power, it's easy to score S-ranks or even Perfect S-ranks, at least on Medium. Due to this, and starting the run with 49 morale, it is possible to reach the boss with 53 morale, the minimum required for the sparkle bonuses. - This route is good to clear transport killing quests while attempting to clear the map, as node G will have 3 transports. IMO, node G is just a troll resource drain, it is pathetically easy for a pre-boss node. - With proper setup even on second-grade ships, that BB Hime on Last Dance is not really a big threat. The stronk airstrike will most likely wipe 1~3 weaklings, air supremacy will trigger AP cut-ins from the BBVs and double attacks from the CAVs, CVLs packed with bombers can hit hard enough to cripple the rest. Night battle will most likely score you the final kill.
