Branching Rules
Nodes		Rules

Map Guide

• This is a single fleet map.
• Node A is a submarine node.
• One Land Base Aerial Support is available for sortie.
• A minimum of 8 range is required to reach the boss node M. (See Map Below)
  • the Enemy Air Power and stat in the boss node are very weak (before Last dance, the enemy air power at the boss is 0 for all difficulties) so a possible strategy is to use 4 Land-based Attack Aircrafts on your Land-base, and send them all to the Boss node, as they almost all have 8+ range and don't require the use of Type 2 Large Flying Boat or PBY-5A Catalina to reach the boss node.

Tips

Foreign Ship Special Routing

Disclamer: These are not certain yet, but it has been reported:

• There seems to be special branching when Foreign ships are used
  • Foreign Ships mean any ship that are not from the IJN. Ships that transit to foreign like Verniy is still unsure.
    • Currently, bringing 1 (for easy), 2 (for medium), and 3 (for hard) foreign ships can allow you to avoid some nodes: like going to node I instead of J, or skipping node H.

LBAS Aircraft Proficiency Training

You may continously go into node A back and forth while sending your LBAS there to train up your LBAS Aircrafts' Aircraft Proficiency at low cost (excluding the continuous cost of switching out your Aircrafts in and out of your LBAS). As it is a Submarine node, it is recommended to bring a fleet of Light Cruiser(s) and Destroyer(s) equipped with ASW Equipment.

Boss Debuff

• A Boss debuff exists for this map. The procedure is as the following:
  • S-rank C and D node once.
    • There are reports that Easier difficulties only require A-Rank victory (Hard mode still requires S-Rank for both).
  • Node C has several PT Imp Pack. It is recommended to bring more DD/CL with Small-calibur guns (Ex. 10cm Twin High-angle Gun Mount) and Secondary Guns to have better accuracy against the PT Imps.
    • It is recommended to still bring at least a Battleship for a 2nd shelling phase.
  • Node D contains Supply Depot Summer Princess and several PT Imp Pack.
    • Supply Depot Summer Princess is weak against: Type 3 Shell, WG42 (Wurfgerät 42) Daihatsu Tanks, and Special Type 2 Amphibious Tank.
    • It is recommended to bring some Destroyers/Light Cruisers at least to have an easier time to deal with the PT Imp Pack.
    • For a better chance at getting rid of the entire enemy fleet, you may opt to use both LBAS with 4 Bombers and Support Expedition if you are having trouble getting S-Rank in this node.
• After triggering the debuff, the "Quest Completion Sound Effect" () will play when returning from sortie.

Possible Fleet Composition

• A B D E F I K M:
  • 2 fBB/ 2 CV/ 2 DD with at least 1 Foreign Ship
    • if none, you will go A B D E H F I K M
  • 1 fBB/ 1 CVL/ 1 CL/ 3 DD
  • 3 fBB/2 DD/ 1 CV with 3 Foreign ships
