*Certain Combinations of weapon equipment ([[List of Main Guns by stats|Main Guns]], [[List of Secondary Guns by stats|Secondary Guns]], [[List of Torpedoes by stats|Torpedoes]]) will cause Cut-In or Double Attacks at night, greatly increasing accuracy and/or firepower

*If night combat nodes are anticipated, it can be very helpful to utilize specialized night battle equipment such as [[Star Shell]]s and [[Searchlight]]. [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)]] is also an option.

* Evasion of Submarines are greatly increased in regular Night Battles, so they cannot take more than scratch damage. In battles starting at night, Submarines do not get the Evasion boost, so they will take damage as normal.

* Evasion of submarines are greatly increased in regular Night Battles, so they cannot take more than scratch damage. In battles starting at night and [[Combined Fleet]] sorties, submarines do not get the Evasion boost, so they will take damage as normal.

*Formation damage modifiers and Engagement Form damage modifiers do not apply in Night Battle (i.e. they are always 100%).

*Formation damage modifiers and Engagement Form damage modifiers do not apply in Night Battle (i.e. they are always 100%).

**As an exception, in nodes that begin with a Night Battle, an Engagement Form is rolled invisibly, the multiplier for which is applied to Anti-Submarine damage only.<br />

**As an exception, in nodes that begin with Night Battle and in [[Combined Fleet]] Night Battle, Formation and Engagement Form anti-sub damage modifiers apply.

***The Engagement Form is not explicitly shown in Night Battle nodes.
