Pay To Win Guide

This event requires to use "submarine fleets" on the last phases of E-2 and E-3 using the Early Spring 2024 Event Tag 5.png tag, and on the 2nd to last phase of E-4 using the Early Spring 2024 Event Tag 10.png tag.

In all cases, it is possible to clear those phases on "free to play", using regular fleets and mechanics. However, if possible, it is advised to utilize the "Submarine Touch" to at least clear each last dance, to save on cost and greatly optimize the clear rate.

To optimize the "pay to win" aspect of this mechanic, it is then advised to:

  • Only buy Submarine Supply Material once in the Shop, giving 3 of those for 500 DMM points,
  • Only use this touch on the "last dance" of the boss of those specific phases,
  • Always refresh ("F5") the game BEFORE the boss battle ends if the touch failed to kill the boss, to not consume any material on failed runs.

This way, a total of only 3 Submarine Supply Material is needed to clear the event.

Ka-Tsu Animation

Ka-Tsu Kai:
Katsu kai animation 2.png

Uniquely on "Atoll Nodes", it is possible to deploy the Amphibious Vehicle Ka-Tsu tanksSpecial Type 4 Amphibious Tank
Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai
to trigger a special Opening Torpedo Salvo.

  • On those nodes, regular oTorp will not work,
  • This can only be deployed by SS, SSV, and the AV Mikuma Kai Ni Toku, Nisshin A, and Mizuho Kai fast,
    • They must carry at least one Ka-Tsu tank,
  • On the "atoll node", ships meeting those requirements will carry out a special opening torpedo attack,
  • In night battle, those ships will additionally trigger the same attack as a cutin,
    • This attack overrides regular Night Cut-ins attacks (e.g. if a ship is setuped for a TCI, it will still trigger the Ka-Tsu attack).
  • Using several Ka-Tsu tanks on a same ship will make it carry out several of those attacks in a row (day and night),
    • It capped at 2 attacks per ship at night.
    • This attack utilizes a new special animation, with the tank climbing the atoll's soil.

Friendly Fleets

Friendly Fleets (FF) come with a function that allows players to choose if they want to use a FF to aid them in battle or not. It is possible to choose between using "normal only" or "normal and powerful" FF. Powerful FF have an additional cost of 6 Instant Constructions Instant construction Material for each time they are deployed in a battle (the blowtorches won't be consumed unless a powerful FF appears).

  • Friendly Fleets are available on:

Mechanics

Participation requirements

To take part in any event, a player MUST HAVE at least:

  • A 75% sortie win ratio.
  • 5 empty ship slots.
  • 20 empty equipment slots.

Special Mechanics

In addition to regular Sortie mechanics, events often involve some specific or rarer mechanics :

Map Clearing Medals
Hard
Hard Medal
Medium
Medium Medal
Easy
Easy Medal
Casual
Casual Medal

Depending of the HQ level, it is possible to choose between:

  • Hard ("operation A", ), at HQ 80+
  • Medium ("operation B", ), at HQ 35+
  • Easy ("operation C", ), at HQ 1+
  • Casual ("operation D", ), at HQ 1+

The map difficulty will directly affect the enemy encounters, making them more numerous, with higher stats, or even replacing weaker ships with stonger ones. Additionaly, will vary:

  • The maps' phases' gauges (HP/TP),
  • The amount of map gimmicks to complete,
  • The LoS requirements,
  • The maps' rewards,
  • The ship Drops.

Changing difficulty is possible but limited:

  • When switching from any "lower" difficulty to any "higher" difficulty, the map will fully be reset.
  • When switching from any "higher" difficulty to any "lower" difficulty, the map will stay in the very same state it was previously, with only +25% of TP/HP being reset on the current phase's TP/HP bar.
    • Gimmicks might also be reset when applicable, notably the debuffs.

Beginning with the second map, difficulty progression rules apply.

  • In order to play a map on Hard difficulty, the prior map must have been completed on either Medium or Hard.
  • In order to play a map on Medium difficulty, the prior map must have been completed on either Easy, Medium, or Hard.

To simulate simultaneity of battles in different locations, Fleet Tags conditions & deployment restrictions are employed.

  • Ships not already tagged will be tagged with the associated tag of the map phase when deployed. This tag will be applied regardless of the difficulty and can't be removed by any measure before the end of the event.
  • One map can use multiple tags, usually separated by phases or fleets.
  • Several maps can share one or more tags.
  • On Medium or Hard difficulty, ships must have either the same tag as the map/phase they are being deployed to, or have no tag at all.
    • This requirement is sometimes waived on certain maps, mostly on the last map of the event where tags only matter on Hard.
    • Once the event is cleared (last map of the EO), all tag restrictions stop getting enforced on every map (tag routing will still apply).
