I've not lost a whale ship in a long long time, have them all cleared. So you can't be all that far off from being able to do it with good helper support.

a few helpers I gotten on my team is between 105k and 109k power, so honestly if i abuse ship weakness on the boss pests, i could probably win with some to no luck.

there's only 4 stages i haven't tried after all, with one that I failed, but I'm likely stronger.
