Shortland Anchorage

Don't tell Ooyodo...but this is done on Casual...

Opening Unlocks

Node D

Easy striking force fleet. Man, I bet this would have been a pain at a higher difficulty...all sortie LBAS sent to node D.

Nodes H and I

A straight-forward surface task force. LBAS as above; the planes took out everything on node H, and left just a little left on I! (Though, unfortunately, Samidare was still gotten...)

Main Fleet

Escort Fleet

Boss 1

A nice and easy submarine boss. Inagi did most of the work, but she did get distracted on Last Dance and hit the other sub...and the other ships finished off the boss before she could hit again. LBAS was the same as before, split between nodes M and N.

Boss 2: New Mass-Produced Aircraft Carrier Princess

A nice and easy combat phase, with little trouble en-route (assuming node D is smoked...). Fleet is an adaptation of the one used for the previous phase. LBAS cleared out a lot at node U each time! Note that the third base is still on defense...but we haven't needed it for sorties yet.

Boss 3: Standard Type Battleship Princess

Another straight-forward combat phase; we all cooperated to delete the boss! I don't think the escort fleet even did any damage, and we certainly didn't make it to night battle...

First two LBAS were sent to the boss (node X), with the last sent to node W for just a little more support. We also smoked on node I to get through there.

Main Fleet

Escort Fleet

Boss 4: Abyssal Aircraft Carrier Wasp Princess

Almost the same as before, but with tweaks for the new routing. Same as before, we smoked at I, but we also threw LBAS 2 at it for complete security. LBAS 1 and 3 were sent to the boss (node ZZ). We were sometimes able to get air superiority, but it didn't really matter too much.

Friendly fleets came in clutch to trim down the enemies left at night, and then our escorts could take care of everything. Murasame got the last kill this time! Note that we used node and boss support for Last Dance for extra security. No debuff was performed.
