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
|
Medium
|
Easy
|
Casual
|
Depending of the HQ level, it is possible to choose between:
- Hard ("operation A", 甲), at HQ 80+
- Medium ("operation B", 乙), at HQ 35+
- Easy ("operation C", 丙), at HQ 1+
- Casual ("operation D", 丁), 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).
