==Map Overview==

E4 is a three-phase map utilizing Single fleets, [[Striking Force Fleet|Striking Force Fleets]], [[Combined_Fleet#Surface_Task_Force|Surface Task Forces]], and [[Combined_Fleet#Carrier_Task_Force|Carrier Task Forces]].
*This map contains 3 locks
**The [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_6.png]] '''Kure Guard Division''' Tag is applied to Single/Striking Force fleets sortieing to this map, and will start at point 1.
**The [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_8.png]] '''Detached Carrier Task Force''' Tag is applied to Carrier Task Forces sortieing to this map, and will start at point 2.
**The [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_7.png]] '''The 2nd Fleet''' Tag is applied to Surface Task Forces sortieing to this map, and will start at point 1.

* 2 [[LBAS]] are available to sortie, 1 is available to defend.
**LBAS location and range can be changed after completing Phase 1.

==Phase 0.5: Unlocking the First Boss==

To unlock the Path to the first Boss: [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_6.png]]
* SF: '''1 CA(V), 1(F)BB(V), 1CL, 4DD''' {{MapRoute|A|blue|B|blue|C|red|D|blue|E|pink}}'''
* Obtain AS at {{MapRoute|E|pink}} 1 time
* Reach {{MapRoute|H|blue}} 3 times

<tabber>
|-|Node E=
For the fleet used, refer to Phase 1 below as it is the same fleet.
* 504 Airpower at {{MapRoute|E|pink}} are needed for guaranteed AS on Hard.
* LBAS: Fightersweep {{MapRoute|E|pink}} (Range 3)
** It is also possible to aim for AS by mixing bombers and fighters in the LBAS and aim to take out one of the enemy CVLs on E to cut down the airpower to 258
* Fighter muling the CAV/BBV to reach AS is recommended.
* If no BBV or [[SPF]]-Carrying FBB and/or not enough SPF are available, the following fleet can be used instead:
** '''1CV, 1CVL, 1(F)BB(V), 1CL, 3DD''', routing {{MapRoute|A|blue|B|blue|C|red|D|blue|D1|pink|D2|red|E|pink}}

|-|Node H=
For the fleet used, refer to Phase 1 below as it is the same fleet.
</tabber>

==Phase 1: Defeat the First Boss==
<tabber>
|-|Striking Force Fleet=
* SF: '''0-1(F)BB(V), 1CA(V), 1CL, 4-5DD (FAST)''' [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_6.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1|grey|A|blue|B|blue|C|red|D|blue|E|pink|F|red|G|blue|H|blue|J|red|M|red}}
* Lightest Fleet will take the shortest path to the boss.
* Having a CV(L/B) in the fleet will take an additional {{MapRoute|D1|pink}} -> {{MapRoute|D2|pink}}.

|-|Surface Task Force=
* STF: '''1BB, 0-1CV(L/B), 2-3CA(V), 1 CL, 1-2DD + 1CL, 0-1CLT, 4-5DD (FAST)''' [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_7.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1|grey|A|blue|B|blue|C|red|D|blue|E|pink|F|red|G|blue|H|blue|J|red|M|red}}
* The heaviest Fleet which utilizes the 2nd Fleet lock. These locked ships can be reused for E4 Phase 3 in the later stage.
</tabber>

* LBAS: Range 7 to {{MapRoute|M|red}}, 0 Airpower (100/224 AD/AP on Last Dance Hard)
* If CV(L/B) is present in the fleet, fleet will go through {{MapRoute|D1|pink}} and {{MapRoute|D2|red}} as additional nodes
* There is an LoS-Check at {{MapRoute|J|red}} Cn3 = 50 on all difficulties
* AACI is recommended
* 1-2 OASW ships will make passing through the sub-nodes easier.
* Going without a Battleship will make node J less difficult since there will only be one shelling phase.
* If using the Striking Force Fleet, boss support is recommended for LD to help secure the victory
** Boss Support is optional if using the Surface Task Force Fleet.

==Optional: Relocate Land Base==
The Land-Based Air Support can be moved to a new location after completing Phase 1 and performing the following:

* CTF: '''3CV(B) + 1CL, 3DD''' [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_8.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|2|grey|N|red|O|pink|Q|pink}}
* LBAS: Range 6 to {{MapRoute|Q|pink}}, 324/728 AP/AS

</tabber>

==Phase 2: Defeat the Second Boss==
* CTF: '''2CV(B), 1CVL, 0-1FBB, 1-2CL, 0-2XX + 1CL, 0-2CLT, 0-2CA(V), 3-4DD, (FAST)''' [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_8.png]]
** Fleet must contain 2CL & 4DD, or there is a change to off-route to {{MapRoute|S|red}}.
* Route: {{MapRoute|2|grey|N|red|P|pink|R|red|T|red|W|red}}
* LBAS: Range 9 to {{MapRoute|W|red}}, 331/743 AP/AS on Hard (356/800 on Last Dance)
** The range is changed to 6 if the LBAS has been relocated.
** There is an LoS-Check at {{MapRoute|T|red}} (42? Cn1 for Hard Mode).

==Phase 2.5: Unlocking the Shortcut to the Final Boss==
To unlock the shortcut to the final Boss:

<tabber>
|-|Node C & M=
For the fleet used, refer to '''Phase 1''' Striking Force Fleet as it is the same fleet [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_6.png]].

|-|Node O=
For the fleet used, refer to the '''Optional Phase''' for node Q above as it is the same fleet [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_8.png]].
* LBAS: Range 5 to {{MapRoute|O|pink}}, 225/504 AP/AS

|-|Node W=
For the fleet used, refer to '''Phase 2''' as it is the same fleet [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_8.png]].

|-|LB Defense=
Unlike previous Land Bases Defense phases, during this phase the [[Aircraft Carrier Princess B]] will be introduced in the line up boosting the air power requirement. Consider adjusting Land base air power if necessary.

</tabber>

==Phase 3: Fight against Carrier Princess==

* STF: '''2(F)BB(V), 1-2XX, 1-4DD, 1[[AO|AO Kai]]/[[Akitsushima Kai]]/[[Akashi Kai]] + 1CL, 0-3XX, 2-5DD (FAST)''' [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_7.png]]
** Fleet must contain at least 6DD
** XX cannot be CV(L/B)
* Route: {{MapRoute |1|grey|A|blue|B|blue|C|red|F|red|G|blue|H|blue|I|blue|X|pink|Y|red|Z|red}}
* LBAS: Range 9 to {{MapRoute|Z|red}}, 76/151 AP/AS on Hard (123/251 on Last Dance)
** The range is changed to 6 if the LBAS has been relocated
** There is an LoS-Check at {{MapRoute|Y|red}} Cn1:
*** Cas = ??? / Easy = 30 / Medium = 30 / Hard = 36
**Using [[SPF]] on CAVs/[[Akitsushima Kai]] as mules, or even on the BBs if possible, is recommended.

Since she is the main protagonist of both E-4 & E-5, it is recommended to use the newly introduced '''{{Ship/Link|Yamato/Kai Ni|Yamato/Kai Ni Juu|text=Yamato Kai Ni/Juu}}'''.
*She has great stats in addition to great bonuses on both E-4 & E-5.
*She is '''fast''' on Kai Ni or can easily be [[Improving Ship Speed|speed moded]] on Kai Ni Juu.
*She has a powerful [[Special Attack]].
*She can perform some niche roles like [[AACI]] or [[OASW]] (not recommended here).

If '''{{Ship/Link|Yamato/Kai Ni|Yamato/Kai Ni Juu|text=Yamato Kai Ni/Juu}}''' is unavailable to be used or lack in enough historicals, consider debuff to help with clearing.

==Phase 4: Optional Debuff Phase==
Once '''Last Dance''' is reached, the following steps can be performed to debuff the boss.
* The following requirements are needed to complete the debuffing process.

==Phase 1: TP Phase to relocate Land Base to Malta==

<tabber>
|-|Light Fleet Composition (Recommended) =
{{Shiplock|Summer2021EventTag3}}{{ToolTip|[Blue Tag]|'''2nd Special Squadron'''}} Single/Striking Force Fleet: '''4-7 DD, 0-3 XX (Fast)'''
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A/B|red|C|red|D|red|F|green|I|red}}
** {{MapRoute|A|red|}} if fleet contains [[Akitsu_Maru|Akitsu Maru]] or SS(V), {{MapRoute|B|Red}} otherwise
* Fleet must '''pass LoS''' to reach {{MapRoute|I|}}
* Fleet must be '''FAST'''
* Fleet must contain '''0 CV(L/B)+(F)BB(V)+CA(V)'''
|-|Medium Fleet Composition =
{{Shiplock|Summer2021EventTag3}}{{ToolTip|[Blue Tag]|'''2nd Special Squadron'''}} Single/Striking Force Fleet: '''1 CVL or (F)BB(V), 3-6 DD, 0-3 XX'''
* Route: {{MapRoute|1|blue|A|red|C|red|D1|red|E|blue|G|red|F|green|I|red}}
* Fleet must '''pass LoS''' to reach {{MapRoute|I|}}
* '''XX cannot be CV(L/B)/(F)BB(V)'''
</tabber>
LBAS
* Range = 4
** Range = 3 (After clearing TP Phase)
* AP/AS = 93/207 (HARD)
Strategic Notes:
* It is recommended to send all LBAS with multiple bombers to the boss.
* Do not worry about achieving S-Rank at the boss on harder difficulties; instead, focus on a large amount of TP per A-Rank.
* PT-Imps are present at {{MapRoute|B|red}}. Vanguard Formation can make it easy to pass by without much damage.

Once the TP phase is complete, the land base will be relocated to Malta.

{{Shiplock|Summer2021EventTag3}}{{ToolTip|[Blue Tag]|'''2nd Special Squadron'''}} Striking Force Fleet: '''0-1 CVL or (F)BB(V), 0-3 CA(V), 0-3 AV, 0-3 CL(T), 3-5 DD'''
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|red|C|red|D1|red|E|blue|G|red}} / {{MapRoute|H|blue}}
** {{MapRoute|E|blue}} is a choice node. The player can choose to either go to {{MapRoute|G|red}} or {{MapRoute|H|blue}} for both the requirements.
* Fleet must contain '''1 of CVL, (F)BB(V), or CA(V)'''
** Alternatively, '''Slow fleet or exactly 3 DD'''
Strategic Notes:
* LBAS: Either send LBAS to {{MapRoute|D1|red}} (range = 3) to assist with passing or set them up as LBAS Defense for the air defense unlock requirement
* Note: The same fleet can be used to complete all 3 requirements in 2-3 different sorties.

==Phase 3: Eliminate the Mediterranean Fleet at {{MapRoute|Z|red}} ==

The final boss at {{MapRoute|Z|red}} can only be reached from starting point {{MapRoute|2|}}.

<tabber>
|-|Light STF Composition=
{{Shiplock|Summer2021EventTag4}}{{ToolTip|[Green Tag]|'''Force H'''}} STF: '''1 CV(L/B), 2-4 CL, 1-3 DD, 0-2 CA(V) + 1 CL, 3-5 DD, 0-3 CA(V)/CLT (FAST)'''

* Fleet must '''pass LoS''' to route {{MapRoute|X|purple|Z|red}}
* Fleet must include '''≥3 CL'''
* Fleet must include '''≥6 DD'''
* '''No (F)BB(V)''' allowed
* This method sacrifices a heavier fleet to allow more damage-dealing equipment to be brought to battle while still '''avoiding node''' {{MapRoute|O|red}}
* Due to the high air-power at the boss and the limit on CV(L/B), equipping 1 or more CAVs as SPF-mules may be required to reach the desired air-state
|-|Fast+ CTF Composition=
{{Shiplock|Summer2021EventTag4}}{{ToolTip|[Green Tag]|'''Force H'''}} CTF: '''4 CV(L/B), 1 CL, 1 XX + CL, 2 DD, 0-2 FBB, 0-1 CVL, 0-3 XX (FAST+)'''

* Fleet must contain '''≥2 CL''' to avoid {{MapRoute|O|red}} which contains Installations and PT-Imps
* Allows as heavy of a fleet as desired
</tabber>

LBAS
* Range = 1
* Pre-LD: AD/AP/AS = 46/92/207 (Hard)
* It is recommended to send all LBAS to the Boss node {{MapRoute|Z|red}}
Shared Strategic Notes:
* It is highly recommended to use bombers with historical bonuses on your carriers due to their significant damage modifier against the boss. Please refer to the [[Summer_2021_Event/E-2/Historical_Ships|equipment bonuses chart]] from the bonuses section.

==Phase 3.5: Debuff==

There are 5 requirements needed to debuff the boss after reaching Last Dance.

Strategic Note:
* Node {{MapRoute|Y|red}} is a submarine node which contains a Submarine Princess. Equip accordingly.
* ANY fleet that can reach {{MapRoute|Z|red}} and '''fail the LoS check''' will reach {{MapRoute|Y|red}}
** It is possible to change the loadout from chipping to reduce LoS without swapping any ships.
* A+ rank {{MapRoute|X|purple}} can also be done at the same time.
|-|Node X=
Any composition that can reach {{MapRoute|Y|red}} or {{MapRoute|Z|red}} will pass through this node and can be done in the same sortie.
* It is recommended to use the Node Support Expedition as this node can contain a Re-Class BB
