Map Bonuses

DISCLAIMER: This information is based on user submitted data and is subject to revisions as more data is gathered. Any version of the ship receives the bonus regardless of remodel.

Ship			Damage Bonus
			Mapwide	Boss O
			1.1x	1.21x
			1.15x	1.265x
All Destroyer Escorts(DE)			1.25x
All Submarines (SS/SSV)			1.2x
All Other Non-Bonus Ships			-	1.1x
Debuff Modifier (Multiplicative with above; Applies to All Ships)			1.08x

For Medium+: Before you start! - Land Base Defense Check

For Medium+ ONLY, enemy raids on allied bases are considered high-altitude raids. These raids apply penalties or bonuses based on the high altitude interceptors available as shown below:

• 0: 0.5x (Total Air Power is halved)
• 1: 0.8x
• 2: 1.1x
• 3+: 1.2x

Currently, there are only three available from previous events..

• Me 163B
• Prototype Shuusui
• Shuusui

If you do not have access to any of these, you will have to calculate based on the enemy's raid fighter power multiply by 0.5x (0.8x if you have 1). This makes it harder to obtain the AS requirement albeit not impossible. For E-3's requirement, you will need a combined Air Defense power from 1-3 base of 4-12 slots of at least (for 0.5x multiplier) to blaze it:

• Hard: 564+
• Medium: 420+

Alternative: If you find those values above still hard to obtain, you add in Saiun to each of the base. Any base with Saiun will gain bonus that reduces the penalty to 0.65 instead of 0.5. Note that it only applies to the base with Saiun presented. However, you will lose one slot for each Saiun added which means you will have at most 9 slots to obtain the requirement. If you have a Saiun in each of the 3 bases, the requirement becomes:

• Hard: 434+
• Medium: 324+

Please perform calculations based on the LBAS that you have (LBAS Air Defense Values) before continuing as you cannot continue the map without unlocking the boss.

Post-Clear Notes:

• After clearing the map, a third land base is unlocked that can be used for Land Base Air Defense  or attack (potentially a bug)
• On Hard, the boss will always be in the Diamond formation + Tsu Elite form after clearing
• To conserve resources while farming:
  • Equip mainly bombers with enemy AA resistance (named squadrons like Tomonaga, Murata, Egusa, etc.)
  • Toukai can be resupplied after dropping to 3 or 4 planes since they can still oneshot the enemy Ka-Class Elite Submarines above that. But, they will lose ranks sometimes
  • Nonaka Squadron can maintain proficiency if resupplied at 10 or fewer planes
  • 8 ASW seaplane scouts highly recommended for 2nd base against boss, unless fleet ASW damage is lacking
    • These do not need to be resupplied as they are used for scratch damage and will not drop to 0

Not needed to clear the map, but does supply a small (~1.08x) post-cap bonus during the boss's final form only
Do the following in any order (Be advised some below may not be required for lower difficulties)
