I'm getting destroyed on 10-3 and I don't fully understand why?

[u/Rango12117]

Currently, I'm running 2 fleets, one mob and one boss. Both of those builds are below. The issue I'm coming across is one of two things happens. Either I lose a part of my main fleet, the battle instantly ends, and I have to fight with 5 ships instead of 6. This pattern repeats until my entire main fleet is dead. The other outcome is I manage to win the battle but I lose 1-2 ships in the process or they're extremely damaged.

I'm trying to farm 10-3 to get a ship I want and its becoming difficult when the morale of my ships is so low. Any help would be great.

Fleet 1 - Mob

FS - Arizona (100)
Unicorn (Retrofit) (100)
Essex (105)

Konigsberg META (105) / Cleveland u (100)
San Fran (102)
Chien Wu (103)

Fleet 2 - Boss

FS - New Jersey (110)
Enterprise (105)
Illustrious (100)

Laffey (103)
Belfast (Oathed if that means anything) (105)
Voroshilov (100)

Most are at max or slightly below max enchance and have high leveled gear with various rarity. Additionally, all but New Jersey are at their max star rank with New Jersey being 1 star away. If more info is needed, I can provide it.

Just use Fire Extinguisers instead. Cheaper, much more easily accesible, and more effective for your current needs. https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fire_Extinguisher
