There are 5 subs in the boss node.

I've been trying both the "cheap" (4DD 1CL 1BB/1CV) and "expensive" (2DD 2CLT 1CV 1BB) options, and my best bet so far is the 4DD 1CL 1BB for a good chance to kill the boss.

The CV formation is good at reducing shelling damage from the enemy most of the time by nulling air superiority and deprave the enemy from double attack chance - but it only grants one shelling phase at the boss. You need more luck to hope to kill the boss - but if you're only looking to chip at the health bar, this is fine.

The expensive option, while granting better chance to survive the preboss node, it sometimes sends you to G node that contains 2 flagship DDs, flagship Ta-class BB, flagship Wo-class CV, and 2 flagship transport ships. I went there often enough to complete the "sunk 50 transport" weekly quest in 2 days. No kidding!
