It's hard to answer your question. There's too little information to go on.

Typically we need the following information:

(1) How many DD/CL/CA/BB/CV/CVL above level 80 do you have?

(2) Then we will ask, do you have high level (80+) BBV or CAV?

(3) What kind of equipment do you have?

As Jenesis33 has already pointed out, we don't know what we will need for map routing rules.

I'll try to answer in a general way:

N.B. High level means minimum level 80.

(a) Typically I think 6-8 DD, 4 CL, 6 CA, 6 BB, 6 CV, 4-6 CVL, 2 CAV, 2 BBV, 2 SS(V) all at high level. Why? A weaker fleet might have spent too much resources and buckets earlier on. Granted, RNG can screw any fleet over, however: This is a general rule of thumb. If you have 1 high level LHA (Akitsumaru) it may be useful depending on map routing.

(b) Final map hard generally requires a lot of repeated runs to get the final boss kill. I would say reserve at least 500 buckets for just the final map. It may or may not be a combined fleet. If it is a combined fleet map(very likely), you need to ask yourself honestly if your fleet depth (no. of high level girls of different types) is sufficient

(c) Equipment, you will need things like at least 4 reppu or better(reppu kai, reppu 601st sqn) the more the merrier. You really need the air superiority to get daytime double attacks to do more damage to the boss or destry her escorting fleet before night combat arrives. Good guns for your BB like 46cm if you use Yamato/Nagato class, type 1/type91 ap ammo. If the final boss is installation type, do you have at least 6-8 type 3 ammo for everyone? Sometimes you really need to squeeze every bit of damage possible: that means if you bring 2 CLT, do you have 2 type A midget subs and 4 (yes, FOUR)  pieces of quintuple (not quadurple) oxygen torpedo launchers? If you have DD like Yukikaze that will help to torpedo during night combat, do you have more quintuple oxygen launchers for her too?

(d) Resources, due to the way hard mode of final maps usually are, I would say reserve 75k - 100k steel/ammo/fuel and 40k-50k bauxite just for the final map alone. Better to be safe than sorry.

Conclusion: There's a lot of information required. The more you provide, the better an assessment other players on this wikia can give you.
