Mechanics

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

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

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

Multiple ships equipped with searchlights do not have stacking effects.

-<noinclude>{{Searchlight}} [[:Category:Searchlight|Searchlights]] can trigger a special [[Night Battle|night]] mechanic when a ship equipped with one enters a night battle with 2 or more HP:
-*A special animation will be shown prior to any attacks, and the following effects will be applied:
-*#Night battle attack accuracy of the fleet increases.
-*#Special attack rate of the fleet increases.
-*#Special attack rate of the enemy fleet decreases.
-*#Enemy fleet will target the ship that showed the searchlight animation more often.
-*#Enemy fleet will hit the ship that showed the searchlight animation more often.
-*Activation rate is 100%.
-*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).<noinclude>
