− | [[File:Friend Fleet Button Grey.png|right]] | + | Friend Fleet, Friendly Fleets, or just FF, is an [[Event]]-only mechanic that was implemented during the [[Winter 2018 Event]]. They are '''NPC fleets''' that generally appear to attack the boss during [[Night Battle]] before the fleet engages. Because the exact FF details vary from event to event, please refer to the '''current event page''' for more information. |

| + | * They typically appear on Boss Nodes at Night. |
− | * The determination of which fleet of an enemy combined fleet your escort fleet will engage in [[Combined_Fleet#Combined_Fleet_Night_Battle|night battle]] is calculated after the Friend Fleet attack. | + | * In some longer events, two batches of FF may be added, the second being stronger and/or going deeper than the first. |
− | * Which Friend Fleet appears is '''random''', but odds can be manipulated.
| + | * During [[Summer 2021 Event#Friend_Fleet|Summer 2021]], some FFs appeared for the first time: |
