Got bored so I wrote up an E5 guide

Ok so there’s 3 methods to approach this not-that-accursed map

Full SS fleet/DD+CLT fleet/Standard E4 fleet



Full SS (also known as sub sharpening/chipping)

You will want to have at least 3 subs to do this efficiently, and ALL subs must be remodeled and modernized to the max. All subs must be equipped with the best torpedoes you can get (53cm/61 quad/pentas). Echelon formation on the first 2 nodes and line ahead on all others.

As long as you survive node A without any medium damage there’s literally nothing stopping you from hitting boss node. The downside is that, you are only able to chip that much each run (assuming your subs hit the boss, which is quite likely), and you are cockblocked by fatigue, and it takes an immense amount of time to do this (I used around 7 hours for 40% of the bar). It however costs almost nothing to do this, aside from a few buckets here and there.





DD+CLT

Lineup = Best destroyers x4 (At least lv60)  + CLT duo

CLT duos should be equipped with 20.3+15.5 sub guns and midget sub

2 DDs with 2x 10cm high angle + wildcard

2 DDs with cut-in setup (best torpedo + 10cm high angle) + wild card

CLT sisters at the last 2 slots(VERY IMPORTANT!) .Advisable to put air radars for wildcard slot so you don’t get raped by air phase during boss. Cut in equip should be given to destroyers with high luck (Shigure mkII/Yukikaze). A lot more riskier than SS method since you will go through 3 nodes of hell (middle route), but thankfully not much cut-ins as compared to E4. Line Abreast on A, I and Double Line/Abreast on E.

<p class="MsoNormal">SHOULD I USE SUPPORT FLEET???

<p class="MsoNormal">The only answer for this:  If you think your resource can keep up, then by all means do so, as it will significantly increase the success of your boss hunts.
