don't do night combat at all, it's a single fleet so SS Hime gains the benefits of being a submarine during Night Battle.

Instead you might want to try and replace your normal DDs with 4-Slot CL if you have some. (If they are ~lv35+ that's fine as well. that worked for me on hard, it's just a little.. tedious.)

You might also wanna try to replace your CVL with another heavy ASW ship, as Head-On probably is as bad of an engagement type as Red T is, so the Saiun does little to no difference at all. (Slight increase in LoS and accuracy for your fleet, but.. that's really negligible.)

Stuff everything with ASW and slap those >> Zuiun or better onto your BBV.. go line aboob for every fight and pray to Tanaka that you get a lucky crit or two.

Good luck for you, I was stuck at last dance for ~ 50 runs. It's mostly RNG witchery, because ASW damage softcaps at 100 for day shelling and SS Hime has 93 armor.. that leaves a 7 damage gap plus any square rooted damage that still acts as if it was significant.

May the odds be always in your favor!
