On these occasions, players gain access to special maps, which ''usually'' pertains to specific World War 2 battles. Exceptions include a tie-in to the anime [[Christmas 2013 Event|''Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova'']]. These maps are only available for the duration of the event & usually have better drop rates than normal sortie maps.

On these occasions, qualified players gain access to special maps, which ''usually'' pertains to specific World War 2 battles. Exceptions include a tie-in to the anime [[Christmas 2013 Event|''Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova'']]. These maps are only available for the duration of the event (''usually 2 weeks'') and have better drop rates than normal sortie maps.

While sortieing in specific event maps, [[Enemy_vessel#Bosses|special Abyssal Fleet bosses]] will be encountered. Although they are strong opponents, upgraded bosses such as the [[Battleship_Princess|Battleship Princess]] are also able to make bucket reserves weep.

While sortieing in specific event maps, [[Enemy_vessel#Bosses|special Abyssal Fleet bosses]] may be encountered on predefined nodes. Although these event-limited enemies are strong, recurring bosses such as the [[Battleship_Princess|Battleship Princess]] could also drain out an admiral's bucket reserves.

Starting from the [[Spring 2014 Event|Spring 2014]] event, LoS {{LOS}}-based checks were implemented. A fleet's total LoS affects movement through the map nodes & reaching the boss node. This mechanic has even reached [[World_2:_南西諸島海域#World_2-5_.E3.80.90Extra_Operation.E3.80.91_.E6.B2.96.E3.83.8E.E5.B3.B6.E6.B2.96.E6.88.A6.E9.97.98.E5.93.A8.E6.88.92_Okinoshima_Island_Patrol_Battles|extra operations maps]].

Starting [[Spring 2014 Event|Spring 2014]] event, [[Line of Sight|LoS]] {{LOS}}-based checks were implemented. A fleet's [[Line of Sight|total or equipment LoS]] affects movement through the map nodes and reaching the boss node. This mechanic has then been implemented onto [[World_2:_南西諸島海域#World_2-5_.E3.80.90Extra_Operation.E3.80.91_.E6.B2.96.E3.83.8E.E5.B3.B6.E6.B2.96.E6.88.A6.E9.97.98.E5.93.A8.E6.88.92_Okinoshima_Island_Patrol_Battles|extra operations maps]].

** Common knowledge says that resources' natural regeneration will allow the completion of all event maps in the usual two-weeks window. However, it depends on the mercy of [[wikipedia:Random_number_generation|RNG]] for the fleet's consumption, damage dealt & received, pathing, & the amount of retries to clear an event map.

** The natural regeneration tip is not applicable for buckets. It's recommended to stock-up before the event.
