HQ lv: 69

total LOS: 262-264 (they leveled up so the stats rised slightly)

equipment LOS: 42

fleet combination: 2DD, 1CAV, 1CA, 2CVL

flagship: -Akatsuki Kai (39) [12.7cm Type-B, 2x 10cm]

-Hibiki Kai (38) [12.7cm, 2x10cm]

-Suzuya Kai (44/45) [20.3cm, 2xZuiun, Type 3 Shell]

-Maya Kai (37) [20.3cm, Type 3 Shell, Type 0 Seaplane, Type 21 Air Radar]

-Chiyoda CVL Kai (43) [Shiden Kai Ni, Ryuusei Kai, Saiun, Suisei Model 12A]

-Junyou Kai (50) [Shiden Kai Ni, Ryuusei Kai, Type 62 Zero Fighter-Bomber, Saiun]

The first time I didn't equip Saiun on Chiyoda and 1 Zuiun on Suzuya, so my LOS was around 250. I went to node H and there was nothing. Afterwards I used the equipment written above and went to E and then K. Each time the Recon Seaplane appeared.

I documented my 3 attemps so far (the first time I went to H, so failed the first one), I didn't use any support expeditions yet because I wanted to try out the best formations etc. The boss survived with 39 HP once and the second time with 79HP, but I think the support expedition will help to kill her/it.

1. At Node C the enemies barely dealt any damage with Echelon formation.

2. I survived Node G with 1x moderate damage and 1x minor damage with Echelon, but two moderate damaged ships with Line Abreast.

3. LOS is required for Node E, for me it was >260. The first time I used Line Abreast and the node with 1CVL, 1BB, 1CA and 2DDs appeared (sorry, didn't pay attention to the enemy classes). I won with Rank B and 1 ship was minor damaged (besides the two moderate damaged ships from Node G). The second time I met the Sub Node with 4 Subs, and used Echelon D: 4x moderate damage afterwards... so I think Line Abreast is still the best option here. I lost with rank D.

4. LOS is also required for the Boss node of course (Node K). Again probably >260 for HQ ~69. I used Line Ahead, the boss and 4 other DDs appeared and air combat phase knocked 2 DDs out. Other 2 DDs were easily killed, so my fleet could concentrate on the boss only. Buuut...my two CVLs were already moderate damaged, so they couldn't attack the boss. My 2 DDs dealt much more damage than the CA/CAV, also in night battle. Don't know why... Akatsuki also attacked twice. CA/CAV did a bad performance. Maybe I should equip them differently, but then I'm afraid that the LOS isn't enough. Drop was Zuihou at first and then Maya the second time.
