I used as few bombers as possible to minimise Tsu-induced losses. The build was meant to very barely scratch AS+ in node J. If eschewing node J entirely it might be cheaper to spec into opening torpedo rather than using torpedo bombers.

In the absence of Mizuho, use Chiyoda or Chitose A in triple-hyoteki setups. Would still consider a BB compulsory in order to trigger double shelling in order to avoid being torpedoed in node D. If not sortieing to J, a carrier isn't necessary for Air Supremacy, so just run a Fusou-class K2 BBV with a single Zuiun in the largest slot, which will generally survive long enough to guarantee Air Supremacy up till I. If AVs are all unavailable or hopelessly low-levelled, a high FP CL or any CA can substitute, albeit with lower efficiency.

The build will look like CL-DD-DD-BBV-AV-CLT. With Abukuma K2, that's 3 opening torpedoes.

Should be more than enough to guarantee daytime S-ranks, and possibly Perfect S on good rolls.
