'''Enemy Combined Fleet''' is a unique enemy based mechanic introduced in the ''October 5th, 2016 Update'' in which introduce a unique situation where the Kanmusu fleet would be facing off against the Abyssal Fleet in thier own Combined Fleet. As of current, this mechanic is featured in the main part of the game on [[World_6#6-5|6-5]] and is used mainly has your fleet challenge up to 12 Abyssal units on the map. Currently there is only a Single Fleet vs. Combined fleet situation that has been shown.

The '''Enemy Combined Fleet''' is a new mechanic introduced in the ''October 5th, 2016 Update''. It involves a battle where the player's fleet faces off against two Abyssal Fleets that form an opposing Combined Fleet. As of this time, the mechanic is featured in the boss node of [[World_6#6-5|6-5]], and is has your fleet challenge 12 Abyssal units in one battle. Currently, only a Single Fleet vs. Combined fleet scenario exists.

[[File: Enemy Combined Fleet.png|thumb|Enemy Combined Fleet as shown on [[World_6#6-5|6-5]]]] As previously mentioned, an '''Enemy Combined Fleet''' has your fleet face off against an enemy Abyssal Fleet that consist of two fleets: A '''Main Fleet''' and an '''Escort Fleet'''. While the only example of a combined fleet featured so far is from [[World_6#6-5|6-5]] it does however show that the Abyssal Fleet (so far) follows a similar rule set to that of a Regular [[Combined Fleet]] which the player can use during event maps.

While the only example of a combined fleet featured so far is from [[World_6#6-5|6-5]], information so far suggests that the Enemy Combined Fleet follows a set of rules similar to those involving a Regular [[Combined Fleet]] that the player can use during event maps.

Using this concept, we can determine that as of current '''Enemy Carrier Task Force Fleets''' currently only exist in the game and that no '''Enemy Surface Task Force''' has been introduced yet to show if any mechanic will change based on the combined fleet type. In addition, the current situation only has shown a '''Single fleet vs. a Combined Fleet'''. But using these mechanics we can come to understand the basic rules behind how a battle works with this set up.  

So far, '''Enemy Carrier Task Force Fleets''' are the only type of Enemy Combined Fleet implemented in the game. No '''Enemy Surface Task Force''' has been introduced as of yet, and it is unknown if any mechanics will change based on the type of enemy combined fleet. Additionally, the current scenario only features a '''Single fleet vs. a Combined Fleet'''. However, using these mechanics, we can come to understand the basic rules behind how a battle works in this scenario.  

As of current, '''LBAS phase''', '''Air Strike phase''' and the '''Preemptive Torpedo Phase''' remain the same as they are in regular fleet situations (in terms of the order they play out, with the exception they will target anyone from the main and escort fleet). However upon reaching the shelling phase the mechanics change drastically on how the order goes since your fleet will have to battle a main fleet and an escort fleet. The following chart below explains the steps as follows:

Currently, '''LBAS phase''', '''Air Strike phase''', and the '''Pre-emptive Torpedo Phase''' remain the same as in regular fleet situations (in terms of the order they play out, with the exception being that they will target anyone from ''both'' the main and escort fleet). However, upon reaching the shelling phase, the mechanics change drastically in terms of shelling order, as your fleet will have to battle a main fleet as well as an escort fleet. The following chart below explains the steps as follows:

| '''Escort Fleet Shelling''' || Follows Pre-emptive Torpedo Salvo and the confrontation notification, your fleet will fire upon the'''Enemy Escort Fleet''' in the same fashion as 1st Phase Shelling in a regular fleet combat situation. Your Fleet will attack in the order based upon the distance from longest to shortest. If all ships from the '''Enemy Escort Fleet''' are defeated during the shelling , Torpedo Salvo will being.

| '''Escort Fleet Shelling''' || After the Pre-emptive Torpedo Phase and the confrontation notification, your fleet will fire upon the'''Enemy Escort Fleet''' in the same fashion as 1st Phase Shelling in a regular fleet combat situation. Your Fleet will attack in order, based on their range, from longest to shortest. If all ships from the '''Enemy Escort Fleet''' are defeated during the shelling, Torpedo Salvo will be fired immediately.

| '''Torpedo Salvo''' || Follows after Escort Shelling, your fleet will fire torpedos at any enemy ships from the escort fleet and main fleet.

| '''1st Main Fleet Fleet Shelling''' || Follows Torpedo Salvo, your Fleet will proceed to shell '''Enemy Main Fleet''' during this phase based upon the fleet's distance going from longest to shortest. If any '''Enemy Escort Ships''' have survived the torpedo salvo, they can be targeted during this phase as well.

| '''1st Main Fleet Fleet Shelling''' || Following the Torpedo Salvo, your Fleet will proceed to shell '''Enemy Main Fleet''' during this phase, again based on the fleet's range, going from longest to shortest. If any '''Enemy Escort Ships''' have survived the previous shelling and torpedo salvo, they can be targeted during this phase as well.

|'''2nd Main Fleet Fleet Shelling''' || Follows 1st Main Fleet Fleet Shelling, your Fleet will proceed to shell '''Enemy Main Fleet''' during this phase based upon the fleet's composition order going from top to bottom. If any '''Enemy Escort Ships''' have survived the torpedo salvo, they can be targeted during this phase as well. Once complete, the day battle is over.  

|'''2nd Main Fleet Fleet Shelling''' || After the 1st Main Fleet Fleet Shelling, your Fleet will proceed to shell '''Enemy Main Fleet''' based on the fleet's composition order, going from top to bottom. If any '''Enemy Escort Ships''' have survived the previous rounds, they can be targeted during this phase as well. Once complete, the day battle is over.

If the enemy combined fleet hasn't been defeated in the day battle, you can choose to purse them and enter night battle. During the night battle phase. Most of the rules that protain to night battle remain the same with one small exception.

The '''Enemy Escort Fleet''' has a unique set of rules that'll determine if they will participate in battle or not which has been decided on one factor.

The '''Enemy Escort Fleet''' has a unique set of rules that'll determine if they will participate in battle or not, depending on one factor.

*If the '''Enemy Escort Fleet Flagship''' has '''survived day battle''', the '''Enemy Escort Fleet will participate in Night Battle''', otherwise, if the '''Enemy Escort Fleet Flagship has been defeated''', the escort fleet will '''not participate in night battle'''

*If the '''Enemy Escort Fleet Flagship''' has '''survived day battle''', the '''Enemy Escort Fleet will participate in Night Battle''', otherwise, if the '''Enemy Escort Fleet Flagship has been defeated''', the escort fleet will '''not participate in night battle.'''

If the '''Enemy Escort Fleet''' is present, this will cause your fleet to choose between '''attacking the main and escort fleet'''. Otherwise, the battle will play out just like a standard night battle.
