Information Update

New Game Mechanics

Striking Force

• It will be possible to sortie a special kind of fleet consisting of 7 ships, using the 3rd Fleet.
  • Only available for Event Maps that allows it and cannot be used in Normal Maps.
  • Cannot use it for Expedition or Exercises (PvP).

Striking Force Fleet Command Facility

• Available upon clearing Quest F64.
• When equipped on a Flagship of the Fleet, it will allow a single ship who goes into Heavy Damage to retreat from the fleet, without any other Escort Ship.
  • The Damage done towards the Retreating Ship may increase. However it will be impossible for the Retreating Ship to sink.

Vanguard Formation (警戒陣)

• Vanguard Formation
• Striking Force Vanguard Formation

1/2

• A new 6th Formation (Only available during Event Period).
• Ships in 4th to 7th slot of the fleet become 'Vanguards', protecting the 'Main Fleet' in 1st to 3rd slot.
  • 'Vanguards' are targeted more often than 'Main Fleet'.
  • 'Vanguards' gain evasion boost, particularly effective for DDs.
  • 'Main Fleet' suffer significant loss in damage and accuracy against enemy ships.
  • 'Vanguards' retain average damage and accuracy against enemy ships.
  • Opening and closing torpedo by all ships have average damage and accuracy.
• Retains its special capabilities in both Day & Night Battles.
• Recommended to be used for the following:
  • Pre-Boss Regular Surface Battle Nodes.
  • Submarine Nodes (High capability to evade Torpedoes)
  • Pre-Boss Night Battle Nodes

ASW-based LBAS

• Bombers equipped on Land Bases that have 7 or higher ASW stat will attack submarines.
  • Ex. Prototype Toukai, Toukai (901 Air Group), Tenzan (931 Air Group), Type 97 Torpedo Bomber (931 Air Group), Swordfish Mk.III (Skilled)

Support Expedition

• Aerial Support now includes a new type of support, ASW Support. It is triggered by having a CVL and multiple DD/DEs in a Support Expedition Fleet. The fleet composition requirements for Support Expeditions have been changed.
• 2 BB 2 DD 2 CV will no longer result in Support Shelling Expedition and will result in Aerial Support instead.
  • Recommended compositions to trigger Support Shelling Expedition now are:
    • 4 BB 2 DD
    • 3 BB 1 CV 2 DD

Difficulty Selection

Each map in this event has four (4) difficulty levels (a.k.a. operation ranks) the player can choose from:

• Casual (丁) (Unlocks at HQ level 1)
• Easy (丙) (Unlocks at HQ level 1)
• Medium/Normal (乙) (Unlocks at HQ level 35)
• Hard (甲) (Unlocks at HQ level 80)

The operation rank affects enemy patterns, boss health and strength, the number of times the player has to sink the boss in order to clear the map and the drop rates of ships. Different ranks reward different medals, pieces of equipment and/or materials upon clearing a map. The higher the operation rank, the better the reward.

However, new ship rewards are available on all difficulty levels, and you only have to clear the final event map on Hard to get the exclusive First-class medal.

Click that option circled in as shown in red to change difficulty

You can choose the difficulty level for each individual map separately. However, you will NOT be able to select Hard for a map if you cleared the previous map on Casual/Easy. You must clear the previous map at least on Medium/Normal.

• 【NOT POSSIBLE】Casual/Easy > Hard
• 【POSSIBLE】(Medium/Normal)/Hard > Hard
• 【POSSIBLE】Casual/Easy/(Medium/Normal)/Hard > (Medium/Normal)
• 【POSSIBLE】Casual/Easy/(Medium/Normal)/Hard > Casual/Easy

Un-highlighted words indicate Current Difficulty

It is also possible to change the difficulty level afterwards, however:

• If you drop to a lower difficulty (e.g. from Hard to Normal/Easy), the current HP/TP bar value (the one you have the moment you drop down) will increase by 25% of the new maximum and you will retain ALL unlocking/phases done on the previous difficulty level.
• However, if you change to a higher difficulty (e.g. from Easy to Hard), the boss's HP/TP bar will be reset upon doing so and ALL unlocking/debuffs/phases will be reset as well. In short, you will lose your entire map progress!

Once the map is cleared (boss HP bar is depleted, boss is defeated, and the HP bar is no longer visible in the map):

• You CAN NO LONGER re-adjust the difficulty level, but can still farm the map on the difficulty you have chosen to clear the map with.
• The enemy patterns revert back to pre-final patterns.

HP/TP Bar Scaling
The amount of HP (or TP) required to clear a map usually varies depending on an Admiral's HQ Level (this was first observed during Summer 2015 Event). The higher the HQ Level is, the more kills (or TP) may be required to complete a map.
