Tips

• Using at least 7 of the following ships leads to B - C  - G - H - J routing:
  • Kongou, Haruna
  • Suzuya, Kumano, Mogami, Mikuma
  • Choukai
  • Fubuki, Shirayuki, Hatsuyuki
  • Kinu, Yura
• If you're having trouble getting past the preboss node, consider sending your LBAS to that node with all your best bombers since that node has no enemy fighter power
  • Beating this map unlocks the third airbase. If you have lots of bauxite, it may be easier to farm by first beating the map and then using the third airbase on the preboss nodes to increase your chances of passing them.
• Alternatively, equipping damecons (via reinforcement expansions) and focusing LBAS entirely on the boss can allow passage through the pre-boss node with relatively low risk of actually consuming repair items.
• LBAS bombing appears to have an increased damage modifier against the installations at the boss.
