I need some advice for the last kill on E-6's hard mode boss.
I tried it with the Surface fleet and had great success chipping away at her health, but for the final run it seems the map has taken a step up.
my CL in the escort fleet gets shot to orange in the Yasen node most of the time and even if it doesn't, the CV Hime in the preboss Taiha's either her or one other ship in my escort fleet with her opening strike, causing me to at least use FCF for one Taiha - or straight up sending me home.
If it ends up with FCF, I don't have enough damage for the night battle in the Boss node (CA 2CLT 2DD 1CL - CA is Eugen with a Torp-CI setup, DDs are Shigure and Yukikaze with a Torp-Setup). My main fleet also gets curbstomped regularly and my support expeditions for both the Boss and the Route don't hit shit. Of course, all ships in all four fleets are sparkled, but it doesn't do me any good.
The best result thus far was the pic below.

Help please? 15th try, lost around a hundred buckets and way more resources than I hoped I'd need.
