=Night Special Attacks=

Using special equipment setups, ships may perform one of multiple special attacks at night. These attacks are often referred to as '''Cut-ins''' due to the way the equipment is displayed on the screen before the attacks are performed. Particular Cut-ins are often referred to by their acronym, such as TCI for Torpedo Cut-in, GCI for Gun Cut-in, etc.

Particular cut-ins are often referred to by their acronym, such as TCI for Torpedo Cut-In, GCI for Gun Cut-In, DA for Double Attack, etc...

Compared to its Day Battle counterpart ''Artillery Spotting'', Cut-ins require no special conditions such as Air State, relying solely on the equipment restrictions and the stats of the ship performing it. Do note that the specific equipment being shown during the Cut-ins have no influence on the damage output.

Compared to Day cut-ins (''[[Artillery Spotting]]''), Night cut-ins do not require any particular [[Air State]], relying solely on the equipment restrictions and the stats of the ship performing it. Do note that the specific equipment being shown during the cut-ins animation have no influence on the damage output.

Cut-ins may be activated during a ship's turn and will override its normal single attack.

In addition, all '''"[[Special Attacks]]" (Touches)''' can trigger at night, with the "[[Special Attacks#Kongou-Class_Touch|Kongou-Class Night Assault]]" being only available during night battle.

Different setups have different conditions, trigger rates, damage, and number of hits. Cut-ins are solely determined by the attack's prerequisites.

For a given Cut-in, any other equipment can be added to the remaining slots. Be wary that adding certain equipment may change the Cut-ins rolled for.

If the setup fulfills multiple prerequisites, the Cut-in ''closer to the bottom of the list'' will be used. Additionally, each ship will roll for '''"New Type"''' Cut-ins first, if possible.

If not applicable, ships will skip rolling for "New Type" Cut-ins altogether and only roll for Original Types instead.

In contrast with the "New Type" Cut-ins, "Original" Cut-ins are only rolled once, even if multiple setup prerequisites are met. The setup used will be the '''top-most''' that meets the prerequisites. If this roll fails, the ship will perform a '''Single Attack'''.

If all rolls fail or the ship meets no Cut-in requirements, then it'll perform a Single Attack: a default 1 hit, no damage modifier attack.

The chance of successfully rolling a Cut-in and performing the attack is given by:

The chance of successfully rolling a Cut-in and performing the attack is given by:

'''Modifiers''' is the sum of various equipment modifiers. Do note that modifiers change based on the Cut-in that is being used:
