**Kuso strat: use a single Lv 1 DD for each sortie, being damaged and crapped each time. The damage control needs to be activated and won't be consumed as long as the combat on {{MapNode|I|red}} is not started.
**The need to reequip and change the fleet each sortie is much slower overall, but cheaper to run.

While this map has the potential to return significantly more DevMats than 2-4, it is also costlier and more difficult. The enemies encountered are strong and any node has the potential to force a retreat. Furthermore, to claim the resources, the boss has to be at least '''B ranked'''. This can be a tall order when fighting BB, CA, and DD Hime with a light fleet.
