DISCLAIMER: 11/12 of my ships used here are all dupes (Chikuma is the exception, can also change with Mikuma from previously), if you want to follow then please take careful consideration. Nagato, Mutsu, Taihou, Ooi, Yahagi, Fletcher, Mogami and Hornet are especially strong in this phase due to having historical bonus (as well as Shoukaku and Zuikaku)
- I cleared without debuff and it was totally manageable (didn't expect to get a Perfect S clear at all lol)
- This phase is quite unfriendly with bauxite usage and there's nothing can deal with this
Boss: 6:52
Setups: 13:13
To open this boss node:
- A+ rank node L once (phase 1 boss)
- AS node U: same STF used for phase 1
- S rank node V2 once: use CTF: 2-4 CV 0-2 CAV + 2 DD 1 CL 1-2 CA(V) 1-2 CLT
- AS node V1 once: same CTF to node V2
Debuff (optional)
- S rank node L once (phase 1 boss)
- S rank node S once (phase 2 boss)
- S rank node Y (?) using heavy CTF with 4 CV + 3 (F)BB(V): this part is uncertain
- AS node E and node H each once (go to E with heavy CTF(?))
