Main Fleet

and

2CLT 1CL 2DD 1FBB for the Escort Fleet

I don't use SS since I need surface ship to help dealing damage to the boss fleet too other than SS for just night cut-in.

HQ LV.107 Hard Mode

Using 30k for E1-4 and like 50-60k for E-5 alone, at least I just beat it on hard mode last night, what a great Valentine persent from Yamato-chan <3

So yeah, this map is pure RNG. At first I make sparkling effect and got trolled by RNG heavily, so I just ignore the sparkling and go with it. Cuz sparkling ain't gonna help if you have bad luck.

Node A shouldn't be a problem, at least your main fleet should be able to kill everything except for Cruiser Princess and at least damage her to medium damage so she couldn't fire torpedo at the end.

Then random between C and D, I just ignore the maelstorm cuz it's all up to your luck again. Avoiding maelstorm wouldn't help anyway.

Here we go with E node, thanks to the combined fleet mechanic. Even though there are 4BB on enemy's fleet, they're still not gonna hit you most of the time. As usual, your main fleet should be able to dispose of them quickly.

Then it's the trolling time, whether G or H are both horrible. Aircraft Carrier Demon awaits you with the chance of two flagship Wo-Class on both nodes (with the extra of 1 Ru-kai on G or 1 Tsu-Elite on H). If RNG decide to give you Aircraft Carrier Demon + Wo, then it's 80% that you will be back to base.

In case you're lucky, H node contain 2 Ta-Class and G node has 1 Ru-kai 1 Ru-Flagship and 1 Ri-Kai. Node G is really mean, but still better than 2 Wo, believe me. It's most likely that one or two of your ship girls will get medium or heavily damaged by the Demon. Just pray that your battleship will damage her to medium level asap so she couldn't do anything more.

AA Cut-In helps A LOT to me

Other than that, just pray to RNG on this node......

Finally, on to J.....the boss node.

Pre-final round, this node will have Battleship Water Demon and 2 Wo-class flagship, with the extra BB and 2 Ne-Class elite. I used 2CVL just to gain AS and just hope that your main fleet will kill every thing or at least the Ne and Wo class for the least. Really not much problem, at least you can still damage the boss and get her HP gauge down consistently.

Now for the final round. This is pain in the *ss, with the composition of 1 Battleship Water Demon, 2 Battleship Princess, 1 Wo-Class Flagship and 2 Ne-Class Elite.

There literally is nothing you can do except praying that your main fleet will be able to dispose of the Wo and Ne class quickly then damage the princess a little bit. Then it's all up to your escort fleet and your luck......also AA cut-in help a lot. There is once that my Hatsushimo shot down all Wo-class's plane so she can't attack at all.

Night battle cut-in setup help a lot at boss node, but double attack on CLT is fine since they do a lot of damage anyway. So everything is still up to luck and RNG. "Pray a lot"

Spent like 3 damage control, but that's worth it.

Note that I use support expedition on pre-boss node for every sortie, but only use boss-node support expedition on final round.
