NOTICE IN REGARD TO BOSS WEAKENING MECHANICS

According to the devs tweet, clearing any two of the following nodes once at S Rank can result in an increase of Aerial Attack Capability against Central Princess: I, A, G, L. Clearing all four nodes can result in a further increase in Aerial Attack ability against Central Princess, and doing so would also change her initial appearance voice line. If debuffed correctly the boss will say "Masaka..." at the end of her line (but currently not on the subtitle). There is NO visual change in the boss. Note The debuff does not reset at 0000/0500 JST Some were not be able to hear the debuff voiceline even if they did all the steps above. Try clearing cache and etc., but some report that they still can't get the alternative voiceline in this way. Possible action for those admirals would be a.) wait for May 13 fix, or b.) proceed anyway as the core part of the debuff effect is not linked to the voiceline

Fleet compositions

• 1LHA, 2BBV, 2CVB, 1CA + 2DD, 1CLT, 1CL, 2CA - 100% routing D->G->F->H->N
• 2CAV, 2BBV, 2CV + 2DD, 1CLT, 1CL, 2CA has a fairly good chance to reach the boss node from H → N

Tips

• Players intending to farm Oyashio on Medium and higher difficulties may find the northern routing efficient regardless of the random factor; should the compass direct the player to the boss, attempt to clear the boss. Otherwise if offrouted to L, S-rank node L for Oyashio drop chance, retreat, and repeat
• At least 234 Fighter Power required for AS, 468 FP for AS+ at boss node for Hard Last dance.

Airstrike Buff

After May 5 patch update, it is possible to significantly damage or outright sink the Central Princess with dive bombers (including Zuiun) in E6. Some claim that they feel armor debuff could increase the chance of successfully getting a critical off the Opening Air Strike.

"Zuiun nuke" is confirmed to be result of debuff mechanism which affects all dive bombing attacks. There's no reason to use Zuiun because carrier based dive bombers outclass Zuiun. This effect also applies to Aerial support expedition

• As the fleet will have to rely on initial airstrike to sink the Central Princess, it is of paramount importance that the fleet makes it to the boss node with bombers reasonably intact (≥60% of starting bombers).
  • Achieving AS/AS+ in Air combat can help a lot in making sure these bombers survive.
• Aerial Support engages the enemy carriers in a second Aerial Combat phase. It is recommended to give support fleet at least some fighter planes.
• Some might also load Zuiun onto AVs.
• Preboss support is optional.
