Mechanics

Searchlight Searchlights are used to trigger a special Night Battle mechanic when equipped, playing a special animation and applying the following effects:

  1. Attack accuracy and cut-in rates of the fleet are increased.
  2. Cut-in rates of the enemy fleet are decreased.
  3. The enemy fleet will target and hit the ship that triggered the searchlight more often.

The activation rate is 100% on ships with 2 or more HP, 0% otherwise.

  • Multiple ships equipped with searchlights do not have stacking effects.

A few ways to use it:

  • Equip on ship in the flagship position.
    • Pros: The flagship will always open fire first (unless already heavily damaged), therefore it does not matter if it further takes damage. Useful if it's the last battle of the sortie.
    • Cons: The other ships can still cover for the flagship where applicable.
  • Equip on ship in the second position.
    • Pros: This setup does not suffer from the flagship cover aspect, and ship in the second slot still opens fire early.
    • Cons: May give the opponent 2 turns in a row if their flagship disables the searchlight carrier.
  • Equip on ship in the last position.
    • Pros: Allows ships that can't be relied on for night battle output to be useful in some ways, as the output doesn't matter if it doesn't get to them.
    • Cons: Likely to lose output in situations where every little bit counts (such as event maps).
