"Special Attacks", or "Touch", are special combats mechanics involving specific ships combinations in a fleet, in order to trigger a powerful attack, involving a unique animation and sometimes a unique "Touch CG" for the involved ships.

There are 3 main types of Touch currently in the game:
*The '''"Big Seven Touches"''', the '''"Yamato Touch"''', the '''"French Touch"''', the '''"Queen Elizabeth-class Touch"''', some 2/3-battleships, 3-hits attacks.
*The '''"Kongou Touch"''', a 2-battleships, 2-hits night attack.
*The '''"Submarine Touch"''', a 1-submarine tender & 2/3-submarine, 2/4-hits torpedo attack

In a [[Combined Fleet]], it is possible to '''both''': 
*Trigger a Big Seven or Yamato Touch in the main fleet during day battle,
*Then trigger a Kongou Touch in the escort fleet during night battle.
No special attack can be triggered in [[PVP]].

"[[Big Seven]]" refers to the first 7 battleships built to carry the biggest naval guns (> 40 cm) allowed by the [[wikipedia:Washington Naval Treaty|Washington Naval Treaty]], namely, the {{Class|Nagato}}, {{Class|Nelson}}, and {{Class|Colorado}}.

=Trivia=
The term "Touch" comes from the fact the 1st ever introduced special attack was the "Nelson Touch".

This name comes itself from [[Nelson]]'s namesake: Horatio Nelson, and his "[[wikipedia:The Nelson Touch|Nelson Touch]]", a collection of ideas for naval tactic and leadership style.
