Special Mechanics
- The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium), Operation C (丙, Easy) or Operation D (丁, Very Easy) .
- Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).

- When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
- Switching between any other difficulties will not reset the debuff mechanism.
- When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
- To simulate simultaneity of battles in different locations, Tag Conditions & Deployment Restrictions are employed.
- Ships not already color-tagged will be tagged with the color associated with the map when deployed. This tag exists on all difficulties and is not reset on remodel, etc.
- On Normal or Hard difficulty, ships must have either the same-colored tag as the map being deployed to, or no tag at all.
- This requirement is sometimes waived on certain maps on Hard, or post-clear.
- 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 Normal or Hard.
- e.g., to do E-2 on hard, you must have completed E-1 on normal or hard.
- The debuff system from Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be attacked and other conditions fulfilled to reduce boss armor, will return.
