Friend Fleet, Friendly Fleets, or just FF, is an [[Event]]-only mechanic that was implemented during the [[Winter 2018 Event]]. They are '''NPC fleets''' that generally appear to attack the boss during [[Night Battle]] before the fleet engages. Because the exact FF details vary from event to event, please refer to the '''current event page''' for more information.
 +
To activate the Friendly Fleet Menu during the event, there is the [[File:Friend Fleet Button Grey.png]] (Friendly Fleets) button in the [[Home Port]] screen.

 +
 +
;In the current implementation:
 +
They are only available on '''specific nodes''', and may be implemented at any time from event startup to several days after the event start, or even never be added.
 +
* They are typically implemented as the event progresses to give players a higher chance to beat a map.
 +
* They typically appear on Boss Nodes at Night.
 +
* In some longer events, two batches of FF may be added, the second being stronger and/or going deeper than the first.
 +
* During [[Summer 2021 Event#Friend_Fleet|Summer 2021]], some FFs appeared for the first time:
 +
** On nodes other than Boss ones.
 +
** On day battle, before the main battle.
 +
 +
They will engage the '''entire enemy fleet'''.
 +
* This means they will fight both fleets of an enemy combined fleet.
 +
* Theys cannot kill all enemy ships (at least one will survive).
 +
** They can kill the enemy Boss, only if another enemy ship stays alive.
 +
* Their targeting is modified, avoiding the boss way more (''see [[Shooting Order and Targeting#Friendly Fleets|here]]'').
 +
 +
The determination of which fleet of an enemy combined fleet the escort fleet will engage in [[Combined_Fleet#Combined_Fleet_Night_Battle|night battle]] is calculated after the FF attack.

Friend Fleet is an Event-only mechanic that was implemented during the [[Winter 2018 Event]]. They are '''NPC fleets''' that appear to attack the boss during [[Night Battle]] before your fleet engages. Because the exact Friend Fleet details vary from event to event, please refer to the '''current event page''' for more information.
+
Which FF appears is '''random''', but odds can be manipulated.
To access the Friend Fleet Menu during the event, you may click on the [[File:Friend Fleet Button Grey.png]] button in the Homeport screen.
+
* By having a member of an FF in the sortied fleet, all FFs that she is a member of will not appear. This is referred to as "blocking" a Friendly Fleet.
 +
* Some fleets are "unblockable", and may appear even if sorting a member that is present in it.
 +
* In most cases, it is possible to block all available FF, with none showing as a result.
