Vanguard Formation is an '''Event Exclusive''' Formation that introduced in the '''[[Fall 2017 Event]]'''. This formation provides position specific benefits (and drawbacks).
 
−
 
 
−
In general, the formation drastically decreases the likelihood your flag, second, and third ship are targeted, while increasing the evasion of your other four ships.
 
−
 
 
−
As of current, this formation has only been available during events, but can be used in normal maps within the event period.

==Regarding the Formation==

−
The '''Vanguard Formation''' is based on the formation which [[Wikipedia:Shōji_Nishimura|Shouji Nishimura]] used as his fleet entered into the Surigao Strait.

In addition to this, the vanguard formation also affects enemy targeting: protecting the first 3 ships (or less depending on how many ships are in your fleet) while granting the other (now more targeted) ships an evasion increase.

==Current Conclusions==
 
−
 
 
−
The formation appears to be most useful in allowing fleets to better evade attacks; this comes in especially useful in night battle nodes, where there are fewer methods of preventing enemies from attacking, placing an emphasis on being able to survive enemy attacks.
 
−
 
 
−
One thing which is reasonable to assume is that [[Expeditions|Support Expedition Fleets]], like with other formations, suffer the offensive penalties of this formation.
 
−
 
 
−
One identified the weakness of the Vanguard Formation is that the '''fourth''' ship is at the '''highest risk''' of taking damage out of anyone in battle as she does not receive the evasion modifiers the fifth to seventh ships do. So it is recommended to consider the position of your fleet when considering the Vanguard formation.
 
−
 
 
−
The Vanguard formation has the ability to make going through tougher normal maps relatively easily (Some example maps include 2-5 North Path, 3-5 South Path, and 5-3). This formation is only available during events. Anyone who plans to use to complete tougher maps while the Vanguard Formation is available should take advantage of it while you have access to this formation.
