Fleet compositions

Normal Run

• G D C B E H I J K
  • 3-6 SS/SSV
• G D A B E H I J K
  • 3 CL, 3 DD
• G D C B E H I J K
  • CLT, CL, 2DD, LHA, CVL

Last Run (0 TP Gauge)

• G L M D C B E H I N
  • 3-6 SS/SSV
• G L M D C B E H I N
  • CLT, CL, 2 DD, LHA, CVL

Notes

• FBB^?/BB^?/BBV^? can't be used in this map.
• The branching rules are heavily affected by the difficulty you select.
• Node D is an air attack node.
• Node A is a submarine node.
• Node I has a Submarine Princess.
• Nodes G, C, E, H and J do not have any combat encounters.
• Node F is a fuel node.
• On Last Run J,K Node will disappear and L,M,N Node will appear.
• Map will stay the same after last run (But fleet will no longer go to L,M Node.)

Tips

• This map features a TP gauge. After depleting the TP gauge, doing 1 more successful run will clear the map for good.
  • The branching rules will change depending on the state of the TP gauge.
• There is no boss at the final node, making it safe to advance with heavily-damaged ships after I node.
• Equipping seaplane bomber like Zuiun or Seiran can help in depleting the TP gauge faster.
• A submarine fleet consisting of 4 to 6 submarines has the lowest resource consumption when clearing the map, however their inability to kill the Submarine Princess at Node I makes this composition unsuitable for ship farming.
• Destroyers and light cruisers equipped for preemptive anti-submarine capability are recommended for farming runs at Node I.
  • Having at least 1 DD equipped for AACI can help in safely getting past the air attack node at Node D.
• One airbase for LBAS is available.
  • Since enemy cruisers and destroyers equip Depth Charge Projector and Sonar, using LBAS to destroy them can be helpful for the submarine fleet.
• If the fleet contain some slow speed ships like submarine, slow CVL (before the TP gauge is 0 or destroyed) or LHA, equip them with at least one pair of turbine and boiler to make them fast. Can be helpful for neglecting in going to L node.
