LoS check preboss when the gauge becomes red
15 eLoS ^{[citation needed]} is enough to guarantee 100% boss routing for Hard mode. With lower values than the threshold, deadend node M routing is possible at rates dependent on eLoS.

Tips

AS Values

Anything above zero will result in Air Supremacy.

Fleet composition

For the branching at A C G J K L N, the CLT can be replaced with CAV^[1]
- Equip seaplane for LoS boost
- Equip CA with 20.3(2) or similar strong variants

Debuffing/Weakening

Defeating a certain amount of PT Imp Packs within the Map will weaken the Boss: Destroyer Water Demon.

The boss' voice and appearance changes after the weakening

During Boss-HP Depletion Stage:

Sinking at least 30 PT Imp Packs total within the Map in node H or L will weaken the Boss in TP-Bar phase^{[citation needed]}
- Other sources claim TP-Bar phase cannot be debuffed at all
Sinking at least 15 PT Imp Packs total within the Map in node H or L will weaken the Boss in HP-Bar phase

Other Notes to take on Debuffing:

Node H is the fastest and the most recommended node to defeat several PT Imp Packs easily.
Recommended to use any two of the branching ships in the fleet to go A C E H and then retreat.
The Debuffs between the TP-Bar and Boss HP Bar are SEPARATE.^{[citation needed]}
Always remember generally the Debuff will reset at 5:00 AM JST.

TP Bar Depleting

It is recommended to bring a CAV as they can equip Drum Canisters.
- Although not required, you may try bringing at least 3 to 4 Drum Canisters to quickly deplete the TP Bar Gauge.
LoS requirement does not apply until the appearance of the boss gauge.^{[citation needed]}
TP gauge does not reset

Nodes

I, J and L are Night Battle nodes
H and L have Enemy patterns that can include PT Imp Packs.

General

For those having trouble sinking PT Imp Pack, you can use:
- Type 3 Shell (for CAs or other ships that can carry it)^[1]Template:Unreliable source
- 12cm 30-tube Rocket Launcher on DDs^[1]Template:Unreliable source
- Secondary guns (yellow) on your CL(T)s
- Type 98 Reconnaissance Seaplane (Night Recon) for Night Battle nodes; it has no effect in any other nodes unless Air Superiority or higher is granted (with a CAV).
You may choose to use Support Expeditions for the Boss Node to get S Rank Victories more consistently.
- Use of Aerial Support Expedition is viable for the Boss Node on lower difficulties as other than the Boss, the node doesn't have many heavy ships.
  - A recommended airstrike support fleet is 4 CVLs + 2DDs
  - Sparkling the flagship DD will virtually guarantee full trigger rate on boss. Sparkling carriers has little effect or no effect as morale has no effect on airstrikes. The DDs do not participate in airstrike support and thus any DD can be used.^{[citation needed]}
  - For more information about Aerial support damage calculation, see http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%BB%D9%B1%E7%B4%CF%C2%E2 (Japanese).
  - Airstrike support is not recommended on Hard Final due to the higher survivability of Late Model Elite DDs.
- On Hard Final, shelling support with 2 CAs + 2 DDs + 2 CVLs will deal sufficient damage to sink the DDs; airstrike support may fail to get kills as the Contact mechanic is unavailable to airstrike support expeditions.

Trivia

This map is based on the Battle of Vella Gulf

E-5 enemy patterns

All fleets marked with * next to the node name are sourced from Poi-Statistics only, and are probably correct.
All fleets with no symbol marks are confirmed either with an API source, screenshot source or two independent sources, and are guaranteed to be correct.

To increase the accuracy of symbol-marked fleets, please submit the relevant screenshots to this thread.
