CA, CL, 4 DD in second fleet.

Hard mode

BB Hime would send me home about 75% of the time which sucked. Added the FCF halfway through but only used it once on final form, and almost won too... Would still recommend the FCF for chipping away at the HP bar as the pre final form is not hard at all.

Pre final form has two regular gold Wo, so you only need 84 air power to get AS on that form. You can load up the bombers though I was flying AS+ with around 180 or so air power.

Final form has 2 BWS, so you need 306 fighter power to get AS. I went chitose/chiyoda kai ni full reppu (2 x 601) with a little additional support with 2 x zuiun m12 from tone/chikuma kai ni which would give me 326 fighter power starting the map, and would typically have around ~315 by the time I got to boss node. Boss shelling support both times I got to boss would knock out one DD, and had some splash on a BWS the second attempt.

First attempt at final form had my main fleet sparkled from PVP, but not my 2nd fleet. Formation 2, BB hime missed my first fleet entirely and things were going great until Jintsuu in 2nd fleet got taiha'd by BB hime. As I had already sent the boss support I decided to FCF and continue losing my akizuki with AA cut in. Entered boss node, still had AS as still had my CVL, entered night battle with 2 BWS and boss still alive. 4 attack rounds (down 2 ships from FCF) and only boss was left in orange. No miracle this time.

Second attempt final form I sparkled both fleets this time. CVL went orange first node, other CVL went orange from BB hime (other shelling round she missed) and BB hime tagged my CA in fleet 2 for orange as well. Final form first fleet had a good shelling round and cleared out just about everything so second fleet only had to deal with boss pretty much. Cleared quickly in night battle.

My take on this is yay for AS because that mattered a lot last dance.
