Map Guide

• This map does not allow the use of CV(B) or SS(V). CVLs are fine, however.

• NOTE: It is possible to sortie either the first or the third fleet in this map making using a Striking Force (fleet consisting of 7 ships) an option especially at higher difficulties.
• LBAS: Only one Land Base Aerial Support is available for sortie.
  • 4+ range is required in order to reach the boss node O.
• This map is divided in 2 phases:
  • Phase 1: Unlock the Boss node O by A-ranking certain nodes.
  • Phase 2: Defeat the New Submarine Princess Flagship

Phase 1 Unlocking the Boss Node O

【KanColle】Winter 2018 Event E-1 Opening Hidden Boss Node

When first entering the map, the boss node O will be missing (see map below).  Achieving A or S ranks on specific nodes are required to make the boss appear.  Requirements

• Casual: A+ rank nodes F and K
• Easy: A+ rank nodes F and K
• Medium: A+ rank nodes F, N and K
• Hard: A+ rank nodes B, F, N and K

• Node B
  • Route:A B
  • Any fleet without a CL or less than 2 DD/DE will go this route, this means that sortieing less than 6 ships to preserve resources is possible.
  • Node A and node B have only fleets composed of submarines so (O)ASW setup on your ships is highly recommended.
• Node F
  • Route:D E F
  • Recommended fleet composition: 1CL 2DD/DE 0-1BB(V) 3-2XX
  • This node has a mixed fleet featuring a surface fleet with 1 submarine, sending the LBAS filled with ASW capable aircrafts can easily wipe out the submarine before shelling phase leaving your fleet the job of taking care of the rest, alternatively it is possible to ignore the submarine all together and just stick to A rank by only sinking the surface enemies.
• Nodes K & N
  • Route:D G K N
    • Recommended fleet composition: 1CL 3DD 2XX (no battleships allowed)
  • Node G has submarines so bringing some (O)ASW is recommended.
  • Bringing a battleship will force the fleet to go through an extra submarine node J.
  • There is a LoS check from K to N, currently estimated at 48 LoS using the F33 Cn3 formula (Hard mode).
    • Equiping some seaplanes and radars on your ships in order to meet the LoS requirements is recommended.
  • NOTE: For Easy and Casual modes, ONLY beating node K is necessary, meaning that fighting node N is not required.

After fulfilling all the requirements, the boss node O will appear on the map and it will be possible to move to phase 2.

Phase 2 Defeat the Boss

• The Boss is New Submarine Princess. It is recommended to bring OASW capable ships like DDs or CLs.
• Route: D E H I O
  • 1CL 2DD/DE 0-1BB(V) 3-2XX
• If you have difficulties sinking the Boss node flagship due to the lack of ASW, bringing a battleship in order to have a second shelling phase is recommended.
• Sending the LBAS filled with planes capable of performing ASW strikes against submarines (must have 7+ stat) like the Prototype Toukai is recommended to make sinking the boss considerably easier.
