Winter 2018 Event/Info

English	Showdown at Operation Shō-Gō! Battle of Leyte Gulf (Part 2)[Edit]
Japanese	捷号決戦！邀撃、レイテ沖海戦(後篇)
Romaji	Shōgō-kessen! Yōgeki,Reite-oki-kaisen (Kōhen)
Start	February 16th, 2018	End	March 23rd, 2018
Scale	Large	New Content	7 ships, 8 equipments, 7 abyssals
Maps	7 (4 MO + 3 EO)	Duration	4.5 Weeks

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.

Event Ending Song (Tsukiyomi V2)

Audio	Japanese	Rōmaji	English
	若し今 明かりが消え、向かい風に沈んでも。 見上げた月の空、幾星霜輝いて。 この夜も、この星も、きっと巡り行く。 あの冬の夜、私そう願ってた。 だけど全ては、消えてゆくのね。 それでも、月はそこにあるの。 そうよ。 あなたと歩んだ季節いつでも胸で光ってる。 走ったね、転んだね、一緒にね、恋のように叫んだね。 私たち心の桜、まだ見ぬ春芽吹くかな。 笑ったね、泣いたよね、君がいたいろいろな奇跡。 あなたと目指した優しい未来きっと信じてる。 宵の縁、夏の夜、時が満ち全て消えゆく前に。 夜風散る花の中で あなたと月を見上げてる。 笑ったね、泣いたよね、大切な大切な記憶。 忘れない忘れない、ずっと。	Moshi ima akari ga kie, mukaikaze ni shizundemo. Miageta tsuki no sora, ikuseisou kagayaite. Kono yoru mo, kono hoshi mo, kitto meguri iku. Ano fuyu no yoru, watashi sou negatteta. Dakedo subete wa, kiete yuku no ne. Soredemo, tsuki wa soko ni aru no. Sou yo. Anata to ayunda kisetsu itsu demo mune de hikatteru. Hashitte ne, koronda ne, issho ni ne, koi no you ni sakenda ne. Watashitachi kokoro no sakura, mada minu haru mebuku kana. Waratta ne, naita yone, kimi ga ita, iroiro na kiseki. Anata to mezashita yasashi  mirai kitto shinjiteru. Yoi no fuchi, natsu no yoru, toki ga michi subete kieyuku mae ni. Yokaze chiru hana no naka de anata to tsuki o miageteru. Waratta ne, naita yone, taisetsuna taisetsuna kioku. Wasurenai, wasurenai, zutto.	Even if the light fades and the wind ceases. The moonlit sky we look upon, will always be shining. This night, these stars, will keep revolving. That winter night, I had wished it so. But everything will end someday. But still, the moon will be there. That's right. The time when I walked with you still shines in my heart. Running, falling down, declaring our love to each other. The cherry blossoms in our hearts, are blooming in the spring which is still unseen. Laughing or crying, everything is a miracle with you. I'll always believe in the gentle future you wish for. Between the evening verge and the summer night , it's the time when everything disappears. Watching the moon with you as the night wind scatters petals around us. Laughing or crying, these are very precious memories. I'll never, ever forget them.
