Combat is a major component of the game in Kantai Collection. Combat is accessed through the Sortie menu by selecting a map to send a fleet. Multiple mechanics weave together to create an intricate combat dynamic. For more detailed explanations on the various combat mechanics, please see the individual pages below. Exercises also consist of one surface combat.

Combat Phases

On each node, combat will consist of several "Combat Phases". The number of combat phases depends on the node type, with each node type using a different set of combat phases and order.

See Nodes for more details.
Using a Combined Fleet will also affect the phases, especially during the shelling.

The combat phases are made out of:

☀ Day Battle			Night Battle
Detection	Aerial Combat	Surface Combat	Night Battle
Detection	LBAS's Jet Assault Fleet's Jet Assault Land-Based Aerial Support Stage 1 - Battle for Air Superiority Stage 2 - Fleet Anti-Air Defense Stage 3 - Airstrike	Engagement Support Expedition Battle Openings Shelling Phase Second Shelling Phase Closing Torpedo Salvo	Friendly Fleet (event only) Support Expedition* Night Contact and Spotting Night Shelling Phase

Formation Selection

If the fleet currently deployed has 4 or more ships, the player will be prompted to pick a fleet formation before every battle. Fleets with 3 or less ships will not have a fleet formation prompt and will default to Line Ahead.

Sunk ships and ships evacuated with a Command Facility

are not counted.
Diamond Formation requires 5 or more ships present in the fleet to be selected.
Enemy fleets do not have these restrictions. Enemy fleets in Diamond formation with fewer than 4 ships lack formation graphics on the battle screen.

Combined Fleets have special formations that differ from the standard single fleet ones.

Notes

Exact values were datamined from KanColle Kai for the Vita. Testing on the browser version has corroborated these results.
- Values for Vanguard and the new Echelon are vague as they weren't introduced for KanColle Kai.

Flagship Protection

Flagship Protection is when a non-flagship protects the flagship from being targeted by receiving the attack instead. When activated, a "curved shield" animation plays in front of the flagship's banner.

In Combined Fleets, the escort flagship does not receive flagship protection in day battles.
See Flagship Protection for more dedails.

Vanguard Formation

Vanguard is only available during Events, and is usable on any map during this time.

The modifiers on Vanguard Formation refer respectively to the "upper half" and "bottom half" of the fleet.
- For a fleet with 6 or 7 ships, the top row applies to ships 1 to 3, and the bottom row applies to the remaining ships.
- For a fleet with 4 or 5 ships, the top row applies to ships 1 and 2 and the bottom row applies to the remaining ships.
Damage and accuracy of Support Fleets are affected by the top row multipliers, meaning the 50% damage modifier is applied.

Vanguard gives an accuracy penalty to the opposite fleet. See here for more details.

The bottom half ships have an increased chance to be targeted.

The targeting is determined as follows:
- 1. Target a ship from the fleet.
- 2. If the selected ship is an upper half ship, target a ship from the fleet again.^[1]
Target rate based on the above procedure (without other factor):

Target Rate
Fleet position	Number of ships
Fleet position	4	5	6	7
1	12,50%	8,00%	8,33%	6,13%
2	12,50%	8,00%	8,33%	6,13%
3	37,50%	28,00%	8,33%	6,13%
4	37,50%	28,00%	25,00%	20,40%
5		28,00%	25,00%	20,40%
6			25,00%	20,40%
7				20,40%

Choosing a Formation

Formation Selection Screen

When selecting a formation, its modifiers will be applied to the entirety of the next battle node whenever applicable. Picking another formation will discard any previous formation bonuses and penalties and use the new modifiers instead. Each formation has a general use-case archetype based on its modifiers.

Line Ahead: All-out surface combat formation.
Double Line: All-around, high accuracy formation.
Diamond: Anti-Air formation.
Echelon: Mixed surface-ASW combat formation.
Line Abreast: ASW formation.
Vanguard: Defensive/evasive & anti DD/PT Imp formation (event only).
Combined Fleet has other formations.

Other mechanics available on this menu:

This UI can be hidden by clicking once or twice on the flagship, to see the map.
- The Enemy composition preview once hidden.
The smoke screen button if a Smoke Generator is equiped in the fleet.

Victory Conditions

A damage gauge that is displayed at the post-combat screen for each fleet, using the following calculation:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Damage%} = \dfrac{\text{Fleet HP lost}}{\text{Fleet HP}} }[/math]

The following conditions must be met to attain each rank:

Victory State	Rank	Common name	Conditions
Victory	Total Victory: S (完全勝利S)	Perfect S	Sink all enemy ships, while taking no damage in return. In Short Battle Nodes, take 0 damage.
	Victory: S (勝利S)	S rank	Sink all enemy ships. In Short Battle Nodes, take less than 5% damage.
	Victory: A (勝利A)	A rank	Sink 2/3 of the enemy ships. In Short Battle Nodes, take between 5% and 10% damage.
	Tactical Victory: B (戦術的勝利B)	B rank	Sink the enemy flagship and have fewer ships sunk than the enemy. If the enemy flagship survives and the Damage % gauge is at least 2.5x less than the enemy's. In Short Battle Nodes, take between 10% and 20% damage. If any of the ships sink, this is the maximum rank obtainable.
Defeat	Tactical Defeat: C (戦術的敗北C)	C Rank	The enemy flagship survives and the Damage % gauge is between 0.5x and 2.5x less than the enemy's. Also applies when sinking any ship during the battle. If the enemy flagship is sunk but the enemy has fewer sunken ships, as well as having the Damage % gauge between 0.5x and 2.5x less than the enemy's. In Short Battle Nodes, take between 50% and 20% damage.
	Defeat: D (敗北D)	D rank	If the enemy flagship survives and the Damage % gauge is less than 0.5x of the enemy's. If the Damage % dealt is 0.05% (essentially 0). If both fleets deal no damage to each other. This applies to submarine vs submarine battles and air battle nodes. Ships are sunk but not enough to meet the conditions for E. In Short Battle Nodes, take heavy damage.
	Defeat: E (敗北E)	E rank	The enemy flagship survives and the number of sunk ships in the fleet meets the minimum kill requirements. Not meeting the requirements for a D Rank.

Notes:

B-ranks are the minimum victory requirements for:
- Obtaining drops.
- Clearing a map without a boss gauge.
Drops (both rate and pool) scale based on rank obtained. Some drops might be exclusive to higher ranks.
Perfect S (Total Victory) ranks count as a regular S-Rank.
- Perfect S is fulfilled if all ships' final HPs on battle ended is greater than or equal to initial HPs on battle started.
- So it's possible to obtain a perfect S if the only damaged ship has used a Repair Goddess in battle, and her final HP is still greater than or equal to her initial.

MVP

At the end of combat, one girl is picked as the MVP. She gains exp and morale bonuses. For more details, please see Experience and Rank and Morale and Fatigue.

The way MVP is determined is:

The girl who deals the highest total damage (sum of all attacks during the combat) is awarded MVP. This damage is not weighted.
If multiple girls are tied for damage, the MVP goes to the topmost girl in the fleet order.
If the ship achieving the most damage would be sunk in the battle, MVP is rewarded to the next highest damage dealer instead.
- As such, if no damage is dealt to the enemy, the flagship automatically receives MVP.
Battles ending in an E-Rank have no MVP.
In a Combined Fleet, each fleet has its own independent MVP.

-Like the opening torpedo salvo, all participants attack simultaneously.
-*Note that certain ships (Ooyodo, Maruyu, base Chitose, base Chiyoda) have initial innate torpedo value of 0; without modernization they cannot participate in closing torpedo salvo.
-:*Chitose and Chiyoda cannot increase their torpedo stat without remodeling. However, they can launch torpedoes during Opening Torpedo Salvo if equipped with [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]].

-The first slot allied ship attacks, then the first slot enemy ship attacks, and so on. If a ship is sunk or critically damaged, the game will skip its turn.
-*The order differs from 2nd Shelling Round in that it does not "skip" ships already sunk prior to the start of the round.

-*The surface damage modifier applies to both shelling and torpedo attacks, but does not affect Aerial Combat or Anti-Submarine attacks.
-*Diamond Formation is only selectable as a formation with 5+ ships.
-*'''Flagship protection''' is the situation where a non-flagship ship protects the flagship from being damaged by receiving the attack instead.
-*Line Ahead has the highest offensive power for surface combat. It is the default choice for encounters after the 3rd battle node to preserve firepower because of the remaining ammo penalty.
-*Double Line is generally a good formation for heavy BB/CV fleets. There is a significant accuracy increase that benefits the typically lower accuracy carriers, while BB often still have enough firepower.
-*Line Abreast is the best formation for anti-sub purposes.
-*Echelon has not been tested extensively, but it is hypothesized to be a defensive formation for submarines.
-==Detection==
-*Fleet LOS affects Detection rate.
-*Success increases fleet accuracy and evasion.
-*Failure prevents participation of allied planes in the aerial combat phase.
-==[[Aerial Combat]]==
-==Opening Stages==
-The Opening Stages of combat proceed in order with the Supporting Expedition effect, the Opening Torpedo salvo, then the display of the engagement form
-*In [[World 5]] and Event Maps, the Sortie fleet can receive a salvo of Support fire from fleets deployed on [[Expedition#Support_Expeditions|Support Expeditions]]. The type of supporting fire depends on the composition of the expedition fleet.
-*The Opening Torpedo Salvo is fired by Submarines over level 10, ships with the {{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}[[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] ([[:Category:Torpedo Cruisers|CLTs]], [[:Category:Seaplane Tenders|AVs]], [[:Category:Submarines|SS]]) equipped, and the Enemy [[Battleship Re-Class]].
-:*Torpedoes are fired from all ships simultaneously, and accuracy is affected by the selected Formation type.
-:*Ships capable of firing in this phase will launch torpedo even if suffering moderate / heavy damage (which prevents launching torpedo during Closing Torpedo phase).
-:*Opening torpedoes will prioritize targeting ships that can be damaged by them. If no such target exists, the torpedo will launch but always miss.
-*The Opening stages finish with the display of the Engagement form and the formation of the two fleets.

-* All engagement forms '''affect both sides equally''', including crossing the T (<span style="color:green">Advantage</span> or <span style="color:red">Disadvantage</span>).
-* Regular night battle and aerial combat are not affected by engagement forms. Nodes starting with Night Combat, however, do take engagement forms into consideration (despite it not being displayed).
-*Equipping a {{Template:YellowPlane}}[[Saiun]] effectively makes what would have been Crossing the T (Disadvantage) become Head-on Engagement.
-*It is speculated that the Engagement form also impacts accuracy.
-==Day Combat==
-*Day Combat consists of up to 3 phases: 1st Shelling, 2nd Shelling (if applicable), Closing Torpedo
-*During the first shelling stage, the order of fire is determined by the ship's range.
-:*Ships are arranged in order from Very Long → Long → Medium → Short → Very Short range.
-:*The shelling order alternates from allied ships to enemy ships if able. If two ships on the same side have the same range, the ship that attacks first from between them is chosen randomly.
-:*Very Short range only exists for enemy (all variants of [[Light Carrier Nu-Class]] and [[Standard Carrier Wo-Class]]).
-:*Some equipments can extend the range of a ship, but in no cases will a ship's range decrease due to equipment.
-*The second shelling phase (if applicable) has an initial firing order of all ships alive that are normally capable of attacking during shelling phase, alternating between sides.
-*Ships unable to attack at all in the shelling phase (''e.g.'' all submarines, basic [[Transport Ship Wa-Class]], any carrier carrying no bombers) are not put into the shelling order (during both phases). Ships normally able to attack but rendered unable to (''e.g.'' damaged carriers carrying bombers) will be included in the shelling order but take no action.
-*CVLs and CVs must be in good or lightly damaged condition in order to participate in either shelling phases; Armored Aircraft Carriers (''e.g.'' [[Taihou]]) may still attack while moderately damaged.
-* The Closing Torpedo salvo is fired by all SS(V), DD, CL(T), CA(V), AV, [[Bismarck|Bismarck drei]], and the enemy [[Battleship Re-Class]].
-:* Torpedoes are fired from all ships simultaneously, and accuracy (and damage) is affected by the selected Formation type.
-:* Ships must not be moderately or heavily damaged to participate.
-:* If any ship capable of firing torpedo is alive, this phase will occur (and text shown for start of phase), but if there is no valid target, no torpedo will fire.
-==Night Combat==
-*Night battle damage depends on both the Firepower and Torpedo stats for attack power. Consequently, DDs, CLs, CLTs and CAs have drastically increased strength at night.
-*Any vessel at night must not be heavily damaged (red) before attacking in order to participate in night battle.
-*Certain combination of weapon equipment ([[List of Main Guns by stats|Main Guns]], [[List of Secondary Guns by stats|Secondary Guns]], [[List of Torpedoes by stats|Torpedoes]]) will cause Cut-In or Double Attacks at night, greatly increasing accuracy and/or firepower
-:*Auxiliary equipment (e.g [[List of Radars by stats|RADAR]], [[List of Anti-Submarine Equipment by stats|SONAR]], [[List of Anti-Submarine Equipment by stats|Depth Charges]], Searchlights, Turbines, Special ammunition, [[List of Anti-Air Guns by stats|Pure AA Equipment]], Torpedo Bulges, and [[Type A Ko-hyoteki|Midget-subs]]) will not affect the combination.
-*If night combat nodes are anticipated, it can be very helpful to utilize specialized night battle equipment such as [[Star Shell]]s and [[Searchlight]]. [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)]] is also an option.
-*Damage against submarines is greatly reduced during regular Night Battles (to scratch damage).
-*Formation damage modifiers do not apply in Night Battle (always 100% for regular shelling).
-:*Nodes begin with Night Battle and in [[Combined Fleet]] Night Battle, Formation anti-sub damage modifiers apply.
-::*The Engagement Form is not explicitly shown in Night Battle nodes, but the modifier will apply.
-*The animation for ships equipped with 2 different torpedoes may be different but the damage output is still the same.
-:*A [[Prototype FaT Type 95 Oxygen Torpedo Kai]] + [[61cm Quint (Oxygen) Torpedo Mount]] will show a cut-in animation of FaT+Quint+Quint and if equipped the other way around, the cut-in animation will show Quint+FaT+FaT. However, both animation produces the same damage output.

-===<u>Attack Power Cap</u>===
+;Notes:
-Applies after the pre-cap modifiers. This is a '''soft limit''' on your effective attack power.
+* Exact values were datamined from KanColle Kai for the Vita. Testing on the browser version has corroborated these results.
+** Values for Vanguard and the [[Game_Updates/2019/Feburary_27th|new]] Echelon are vague as they weren't introduced for KanColle Kai.
-<u>Condition</u>: If your pre-cap attack power exceeds:
+<references/>
-* '''150''' for Day Battle,
-* '''300''' for Night Battle, ''or''
-* '''100''' for Anti-submarine attacks,
-then the Attack Power Cap will kick-in, reducing attack power. The calculation is:
-<math>\text {Attack Power After Caps} = x + \sqrt {\text {Pre Caps Attack Power} - x}</math>, Where x represents the attack power cap.
-Daytime Attack Cap (150) often makes it important to utilize [[Combat#Artillery_Spotting|Artillery Spotting]] since they boost your attack power '''after the cap''', while [[Combat#Night Combat|Night Combat]] can be very dangerous and/or rewarding due to having a very high cap (300) and the summation of torpedo and firepower being used to calculate the base attack power.
+===Flagship Protection===
+'''Flagship Protection''' is when a non-flagship protects the flagship from being targeted by receiving the attack instead. When activated, a "curved shield" animation plays in front of the flagship's banner.
+* In [[Combined Fleet]]s, the escort flagship does not receive flagship protection in day battles.
+* ''See [[Flagship Protection]] for more dedails.
-===<u>Post-Cap Modifiers</u>===
+===Vanguard Formation===
-In damage calculation, Post-cap modifiers apply''''' after the cap''''', but '''''before enemy armor reduction'''''. Thus they are very effective approach to boost your damage output (esp. against heavy armor enemies).
+Vanguard is only available during [[Event]]s, and is usable on '''any map''' during this time.
+* The modifiers on Vanguard Formation refer respectively to the '''"upper half"''' and '''"bottom half"''' of the fleet.
+** For a fleet with 6 or 7 ships, the top row applies to ships 1 to 3, and the bottom row applies to the remaining ships.
+** For a fleet with 4 or 5 ships, the top row applies to ships 1 and 2 and the bottom row applies to the remaining ships.
+* '''Damage and accuracy of [[Support Fleet]]s are affected by the top row multipliers, meaning the 50% damage modifier is applied.'''
-Currently, the post-cap modifiers are from:
+Vanguard gives an accuracy penalty to the opposite fleet. See ''[[Accuracy, Evasion and Criticals#Vanguard Formation|here]]'' for more details.
-* [[Combat#Artillery_Spotting|Artillery Spotting]] (aka. Day time special attacks)
-* [[Combat#Critical_Modifier|Critical Damage]]
-* [[Combat#Contact|Contact]] (Opening air strike)
-==== Artillery Spotting ====
+The '''bottom half''' ships have an increased chance to be targeted.
-[[Combat#Day_Battle_Special_Attacks_.28Artillery_Spotting.29|Certain equipment setups]] provide a chance to trigger special attacks during day battle, giving boost to both attack power and accuracy. The damage modifiers are applied after the cap (150), thus very effective against heavily armored targets. Note that the ship requires at least 1 seaplane on board to perform Artillery Spotting (and thus will not trigger if all the seaplanes are shot down).
+* The targeting is determined as follows:
+**1. Target a ship from the fleet.
+**2. If the selected ship is an upper half ship, target a ship from the fleet again.<ref>https://twitter.com/Xe_UCH/status/974571652229955584</ref>
+* Target rate based on the above procedure (without other factor):
-====Critical Modifier====
+{|class="wikitable"  style="text-align:center"
-Most forms of attack (Torpedo, Shelling, Anti-Submarine, Preemptive Bombing) have a chance to crit the target. The damage modifier applies after the cap.

-====Contact====
-*Contact takes place during the Aerial Combat phase. It increases bombing damage for all allied bombers.
-*When successful, an image of the squadron performing contact is shown in the opposing fleet's formation indicator, with the text "触接中".
-*Trigger conditions:
-:*More air control than Air Denial
-:*At least one carrier scout plane, seaplane scout, or torpedo bomber equipped.
-::*Seaplane bombers, [[Type 3 Spotter/Liaison (ASW)|Type 3 Spotter]], and [[Ka-type_Observation_Autogyro|Ka-type Autogyros]] cannot perform contact.
-:*It's thought that each carrier scout plane, seaplane scout, and/or torpedo bomber slot equipped is given a chance to trigger contact. Once successful, the bonus applied is chosen at random with weighting from all eligible equipped planes.
-*Different types of planes have different trigger rates. They are roughly estimated as (if only one is equipped):

-*In general, two bars of {{Ammo}} will be used in Day Battle for all ships, regardless of whether they attack or not.
-*The Remaining Ammo Modifier affects all phases, including the opening Aerial Combat Phase.
-*When entering night battle (from day), the Remaining Ammo Modifier on a vessel remains same as the previous day battle. One additional bar of {{Ammo}} is used for all ships in Night Battle, regardless of whether they attack or not.
-*Because most battles will consume 2 bars of ammunition each, try to engage the boss before the 5th battle, or else achieving victory becomes unlikely (but not impossible).
-*When attempting to defeat boss nodes, avoid night battles and whirlpools on the way.
-:*Whirlpools will decrease either {{Fuel}} or {{Ammo}} bars of your sorted fleet, which can be disadvantageous in long sorties. Equipping one or more ships with RADAR can help reduce losses taken from these.
-*Submarine-only nodes on limited-time event maps do not consume ammo in Day or Night Battle.
-===Player Damage Taken===
-While the above formulas and statements are generally true for damage taken by a player's ships, there are additional limits that apply to friendly units only.
-*For ships entering battle at ''chūha'' (orange) or higher HP:
-:*Damage taken cannot reduce HP below 1 (''i.e.'' ship cannot sink).
-::*At 1 HP. any further hits will become misses.
-*For flagships, as well as ships with 20 morale or more (''i.e.'' not red face):
-:*If the incoming damage is greater than or equal to current HP, it is instead reduced to 50%-79% of current HP, rounded down.
-::*For multi-hit attacks, such as night battle torpedo cut-in attacks, each hit is calculated separately (and reduced if appropriate).

-<!--[[File:KanColle-140425-17422431.png|thumb|Cut-in Type Observed Fire using 1Main 1Sec & Type 91 AP shell]]-->
-Artillery spotting allows your ship with seaplanes to double attack (DA) and cut-in (CI) during day battle.
-====Requirement====
-*Air superiority (AS) or greater achieved in aerial combat phase
-*Not in heavily damaged (大破) state
-*Ship is carrying at least 1 [[List_of_Seaplanes_by_stats|seaplane]]{{Seaplane}}. (i.e. slots are not all at 0 remaining)
-*Certain equipment setup (see below)
-====Set up and Attack Modes====

-*Lists of {{RedGunHeavy}}[[List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats|Main gun]] and {{YellowGun}}[[List_of_Secondary_Guns_by_stats|Secondary gun]].
-*These are the basic setups used in the game. You don't need to exactly follow the placement (1st slot = main, 3rd slot = seaplane, etc) as long as those equipment are placed on the same ship.
-*Any other setup variation will NOT change the attack mode or damage modifier. Feel free to add another auxiliary equipment when possible.
-*Mixed Attacks provide chances for both day battle DA and CI.
-*When either CI or DA is not triggered by chance, the ship will just do a normal single attack, dealing 100% damage.
-*Trigger chances were estimated under the following conditions: '''''AS+;  FLoS = 300;'''  '''Non-flagship'''''<nowiki/>'''.'''
-*The enemy is capable of doing Artillery Spotting on your fleet, both DA & CI.
-*For more info on the Day Special Attack mechanics, you may visit page [[Artillery_Spotting|Artillery Spotting]].
-====Trigger Chance of Artillery Spotting====
-* The flagship has ~15% higher chance in triggering Artillery Spotting.
-* Losing Air Supremacy (AS+) to Air Superiority (AS) will lower the trigger chances by ~12%. Higher penalty for mixed attack.
-* Higher fleet '''total''' LoS ([[Line of Sight]]) will slightly increase the chances, around 5% ~ 10% per 100 additional FLoS. Notice that FLoS equals to the sum of LoS stats from all the ships in your fleet. Bonuses from equipment are included in the calculation.
-* Equipment set up will affect the chances (see the table above)
-===Night Battle Special Attacks===
-Night battle special attacks allow your ship to double attack (DA) and cut-in (CI) at night. These special attacks are less demanding on the conditions, but more reliable and powerful than artillery spotting in the day.
-====Requirement====
-* Ability to act at night
-* Current HP > 25% of Max HP
-* Certain equipment setup (see below)
-====Set up and Attack Modes====
-Different set ups have chances to trigger different modes of attack. Attack modes are '''only''' determined by the prerequisite. Any auxiliary equipment (AP shell{{RedAmmo}}, seaplane{{Seaplane}}, AA gun{{GreenGunMG}}, etc.) can be added without changing the attack mode.

-====Night Double Attack Chance====
-Has a very high (~99%) and relatively consistent activation chance. <s>Activation rate decreases with damage states</s> (source required), but is not dependent on luck. This typically results in more consistent and higher average damage than cut-in setup for ships with normal luck values.

+When selecting a formation, its modifiers will be applied to the entirety of the next battle node whenever applicable. Picking another formation will discard any previous formation bonuses and penalties and use the new modifiers instead. Each formation has a general use-case archetype based on its modifiers.
-''In the old formula, it was '''Luck × 0.85.'''''
+* '''Line Ahead''': All-out surface combat formation.

+* '''Double Line''': All-around, high accuracy formation.
+* '''Diamond''': Anti-Air formation.
+* '''Echelon''': Mixed surface-ASW combat formation.
+* '''Line Abreast''': ASW formation.
+* '''Vanguard''': Defensive/evasive & anti DD/[[PT Imp]] formation (event only).
+* [[Combined Fleet]] has other formations.
-* '''Either diminishing returns or a hard cap on luck over 50 for torpedo cut-ins.''' ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Homuhomu123/Trigger_Rates_of_Night_Battle_Cut-In#I_-_Luck.2C_Placement_.26_Night_Battle_Cut-In_Chances source 1], [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Homuhomu123/Trigger_Rates_of_Night_Battle_Cut-In#II_-_Searchlight_.26_Cut-In_Chances 2])
-:* Therefore, the torpedo CI chance for Yukikaze ''(60 luck)'' would be around the same level as Shigure ''(50 luck).''
-* '''Either diminishing returns or a hard cap on luck over 40 for three gun cut-ins.''' ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Homuhomu123/Trigger_Rates_of_Night_Battle_Cut-In#V_-_Health_State_.26_Cut-In_Chances source])
-:* Therefore, ships with high luck will suffer from 5~10% lower cut-in chances when using the 3 gun cut-in setup compared to two-torpedo.

-====Anti-Sub Warfare====
+Other mechanics available on this menu:

-=== Common Setups ===
+=Victory Conditions=
-* Common ship equipment setups and their purpose
+A damage gauge that is displayed at the post-combat screen for each fleet, using the following calculation:
-* '''Destroyers'''
-:* As destroyers do not have the ability to field seaplanes, have low firepower but high torpedo stats, and few equipment slots, their use in fleets is generally to meet composition requirements. Their common setups focus on Anti-Sub Warfare, Night Torpedo, or Fleet Anti-Air Support
-:* A Mixture of [[List of Anti-Submarine Equipment by stats|SONAR and Depth Charges]] ({{Template:Sonar}}{{Template:DepthCharge}}) make your destroyers effective, accurate sub killers when enemy fleets contain Submarines.
-:* On destroyers with high luck ([[Ayanami]], [[Shigure]], [[Yukikaze]]), 2 or 3 pieces of [[List of Torpedoes by stats|Torpedo Equipment]] ({{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}) will often trigger a potent Torpedo Cut-In attack in Night Battle.
-:* When facing maps with many enemy fleets with carriers, destroyers can provide a considerable amount of fleet AA support using [[List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats#Light_Guns|high-angle mounts]] {{Template:GreenGunDP}} and [[Combat#Anti-Air_Cut-In|anti-air cut-in]] setups to reduce incoming bomber damage.
-* '''Light Cruisers'''
-:* Light Cruisers gain access to the Medium size Main guns to buff their firepower as well as seaplanes (with a few exceptions with regards to seaplanes, those being CLTs, Isuzu Kai Ni, Yuubari and both of the Tenryuu class), making Artillery Spotting setups feasible and effective against moderately armored enemy vessels.
-:* For light cruisers facing enemy fleets, a setup with 2 Main guns and a Seaplane ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) offers a potent double attack in both daytime Artillery Spotting and Night Battle.
-:* For fleets without air power, one [[List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats#Medium_Guns|medium main gun]] and two [[15.5cm_Triple_Gun_Mount_(Secondary)|15.5cm Triple Gun Mounts]] ({{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:YellowGun}}{{Template:YellowGun}}) will maximize firepower while maintaining double attacks in Night Battle
-:* The special class of the Torpedo Cruisers deserves some mention here: their specialty lies in their torpedoes and should almost always be equipped with a {{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}[[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] (to enable opening torpedo strikes). To diversify their damage output, typically two medium main guns and/or [[15.5cm_Triple_Gun_Mount_(Secondary)|15.5cm Triple Gun Mounts]] are equipped to increase shelling damage and enable Night Battle Double Attacks ({{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:YellowGun}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}).
-::* Before a Torpedo Cruiser's final remodel, due to limited slots it's advisable to use [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] and a torpedo ({{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}) to make the most of their preemptive attack.
-* '''Heavy Cruisers'''
-:* Heavy Cruisers see the introduction of 4 slot setups after remodeling and all of them feature the ability to launch seaplanes for artillery spotting. While they are still limited to the Medium main guns, their higher firepower and armor can make them solid combatants when Battleships are unavailable or overkill.
-:* The go-to setup for most situations will be the 2 main guns, RADAR, seaplane setup ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:Radar}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) which provides day and night double attack potential.
-:* Certain Event bosses take additional damage when a ship is equipped with [[Type 3 Shell]]s. As heavy cruisers have access to these, a Heavy Cruiser may find swapping the RADAR for a [[Type 3 Shell]] ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:GreenAmmo}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) to be effective against such targets (see [[Airfield Princess]]).
-:* In the case of a battle occurring with Night Battle first, one option is to replace the RADAR and seaplane with two torpedoes {{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}, which will lose the day battle special attacks but give the chance for powerful two-torpedo cut-in attacks.
-* '''Battleships'''
-:* Battleships feature a selection of Heavy Main Guns and massive resulting firepower in addition to the potent Armor Piercing shells which can cause brutal critical hits. Setups for battleships are similar to those of heavy cruisers, with one notable addition.
-:* The Armor Piercing Shells that battleships have access to allows for the highly effective 2 Main gun, AP Shell, Seaplane setup ({{Template:RedGunHeavy}}{{Template:RedGunHeavy}}{{Template:RedAmmo}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) which has a more effective Artillery Spotting Cut-In, while providing better stats than secondary guns.
-:* Note: Official tweets state that overuse of cannons larger than what a BB is meant for will make it "overweight" and incur a "minor" accuracy penalty. (''I.e.'' Too many 46cm or even 41cm cannons on Fast Battleships such as Kongou-class and Bismarck.)
-:* As with Heavy Cruisers, the [[Type 3 Shell]] setup ({{Template:RedGunHeavy}}{{Template:RedGunHeavy}}{{Template:GreenAmmo}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) is effective against installation-type/land base enemies.
-* '''Carriers'''
-:* Planes. Enough Fighters to achieve Air Superiority or Supremacy, fill out with Torpedo Bombers on larger slots for preemptive bombing damage and/or Dive Bombers on smaller slots for shelling damage.
-:* Torpedo Bombers and Dive Bombers are roughly equivalent to each other. While Torpedo Bombers have the advantage in the preemptive aerial bombing, their damage are dependent on number of surviving planes, making air superiority very important for them. In cases where Air Superiority is not feasible, using more Dive Bombers may prove more effective.
-:* It is possible to equip [[List of Secondary Guns by stats|Secondary Guns]] like the [[15.5cm Triple Gun Mount (Secondary)|15.5cm Triple Gun Mount]] or the special [[Skilled Carrier-based Aircraft Maintenance Personnel|SCAMP]] to increase the carrier's range and put it higher in the Range Order shelling phase, which can be very useful for prioritizing the CV(L) damage when in a DD heavy fleet.
-:* To save bauxite (especially in exercises against other fleets), a combination of two [[15.5cm Triple Gun Mount (Secondary)|15.5cm Triple Gun Mount]] and/or [[Skilled Carrier-based Aircraft Maintenance Personnel|SCAMP]] with a [[Saiun]] and a single bomber in the 4th slot can allow powerful shelling attacks at the cost of opening airstrike potency ({{Template:YellowGun}}{{Template:YellowGun}}{{YellowPlane}}{{RedPlane}}).

-==Victory Conditions==
+'''Notes:'''
-Damage Gauge calculation: (Sum of enemy fleet HP reduced) / (Sum of enemy fleet HP at start of combat) × 100%
+* B-ranks are the minimum victory requirements for:
-In PvP, even those considered "sunk" are treated as having 1HP remaining for gauge calculation. (This is clearly visible against a submarine fleet.)
+** Obtaining drops.
-Higher conditions have higher priority on this list. Unless specified, the condition assumes no friendly ship sunk.
+** Clearing a map without a boss gauge.
+* Drops (both rate and pool) scale based on rank obtained. Some drops might be exclusive to higher ranks.
+* Perfect S (Total Victory) ranks count as a regular S-Rank.
+** Perfect S is fulfilled if all ships' final HPs on battle ended is greater than or equal to initial HPs on battle started.
+** So it's possible to obtain a perfect S if the only damaged ship has used a '''[[Repair Goddess]]''' in battle, and her final HP is still greater than or equal to her initial.
-;Perfect S
+==MVP==
-*All enemy ships sunk and Enemy Damage Gauge is 0%.
+At the end of combat, one girl is picked as the MVP. She gains exp and morale bonuses. For more details, please see ''[[Experience and Rank]]'' and ''[[Morale and Fatigue]]''.
-:*In PvP, no damage taken and all enemy ships considered "sunk".
-;S (Victory)
-*All enemy ships sunk.
-:*If any friendly ship is sunk, it is B Victory instead.
-*In PvP, all enemy ships "sunk".
-:*If any friendly ship would be considered "sunk", then it would be a B Victory instead, as well.
-;A (Victory)
-*Required number of enemy ships sunk.
-:*In this case damage gauge does not matter.
-:*Enemy flagship does not need to be sunk.
-:*Cannot happen if enemy fleet consists of only 1 ship.
-;B (Tactical Victory)
-*''Note:'' This rank is the minimum requirement to clear maps without boss gauge.
-*Enemy flagship sunk (in this case damage gauge does not matter)
-*Enemy flagship alive, A victory condition not met, Damage gauge at least 2.5 times of the enemy damage gauge.
-*Enemy flagship alive, friendly ship sunk, A victory condition met, Damage gauge at least 2.5 times of the enemy damage gauge.
-*Enemy flagship alive, friendly ship sunk, A victory condition not met, Damage gauge at least 3 times of the enemy damage gauge (multiplier in question)
-*Enemy flagship sunk, friendly ship sunk, number of friendly ships sunk < number of enemy ships sunk.
-;C (Tactical Defeat)
-*Enemy flagship alive, Damage gauge higher than enemy gauge but not reaching 2.5 times as much.
-*Enemy flagship alive, friendly ship sunk, A victory condition met, Damage gauge higher than enemy damage gauge but not reaching 2.5 times as much.
-*Enemy flagship alive, friendly ship sunk, A victory condition not met, Damage gauge higher than enemy damage gauge but not reaching the multiplier required for B Victory (see 4th B Victory condition)
-*Enemy flagship sunk, friendly ship sunk, number of friendly ships sunk ≥ number of enemy ships sunk. (Note that maps with boss gauges, such as 4-4, 5-3, event maps, etc, can be cleared under this condition.)
-;D (Defeat)
-*Enemy took less than a certain amount of damage (Own gauge is less than 0.05%).
-:*Both sides taking 0 damage is also D.
-*Enemy flagship alive, damage gauge lower than enemy gauge (C is possible under this condition if both sides have a high gauge)
-*Enemy flagship alive, friendly ship sunk, damage gauge lower than enemy gauge, but not fulfilling E loss condition.
-<!-- *Fulfilling E loss condition with only 1 ship in fleet. -->
-;E (Defeat)
-*Enemy flagship alive, over a certain number of friendly ships sunk. (see below)
-===Notes===
-*The Minimum Sunk Requirement:
-:* 4 ships out of a fleet of 6
-:* 3 ships out of a fleet of 5
-:* 2 ships out of a fleet of 4
-:* 2 ships out of a fleet of 3
-:* 1 ship out of a fleet of 2
-*Victory status affects the chance of getting drops and rare drops on the specified node.
-:*B rank or above is necessary to obtain drops.
-:*A rank or above is typically necessary for obtaining rare drops.
-:*S rank has a higher chance of obtaining rare drops than A rank, and is required for some very rare drops.
-==Additional Explanation/Details==
+The way MVP is determined is:
-{{reflist}}
+* The girl who deals the highest total damage (sum of all attacks during the combat) is awarded MVP. This damage is not weighted.
+* If multiple girls are tied for damage, the MVP goes to the topmost girl in the fleet order.
+* If the ship achieving the most damage would be sunk in the battle, MVP is rewarded to the next highest damage dealer instead.
+** As such, if no damage is dealt to the enemy, the flagship automatically receives MVP.
+* Battles ending in an E-Rank have no MVP.
+* In a Combined Fleet, each fleet has its own independent MVP.
