Nelson-class Special Attack

Nelson and Rodney are able to perform a special attack:

"Touch Helpers"
Any FBB, BB, BBV, CA, CAV, CL, DD, DE, AV, AS, AR, AO, LHA

• A Nelson-class must be the flagship.
  • Secretary for combined fleets.
  • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
• The 3rd and 5th ships must not be any CV/CVB/CVL/SS/SSV.
  • They can be heavily damaged (大破).

• There must be 6 or more surface ships in the fleet.
  • There must be no submarine in 6-ship fleets. In 7-ship fleets, only 1 submarine is allowed.
  • There must be no surface ship in the fleet sunk or evacuated via FCF
    during a sortie, making the remaining total < 6. Ships in the escort fleet are not counted.

• In single fleet, Double Line needs to be selected.
• In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 2 needs to be selected.

If triggered:

• The flagship will do a 1st attack,
• The 3rd ship will do a 2nd attack,
• The 5th ship will do a 3rd attack,
• Each attack targets a ship at random,
• If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

Multiplier	No other Nelson-class present	Other Nelson-class present[1]
		Flagship	Other Nelson-class
Base	2.0	2.3	2.4
Red T	2.5	2.875	3.0

• The modifiers are post-cap on day battle, and pre-cap on night battle.
• There is an additional small Accuracy bonus of 1.05 [2].
• Even if the other two ships can attack submarines, they will never target them during the touch.

• It does not cost any extra resources if triggered.

The touch:

• Can be triggered even if artillery spotting fails to activate.
• Can only be activated once per sortie.
• Has a chance to trigger every time the flagship takes a turn at shelling.
  • In single fleet, if it fails to trigger in day battle, there is a chance to trigger it in the follow-up night battle.
• The rate is:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor 1.1 \times \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{FS}} + \sum_\text{Helper} \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{H}} + 1.4 \times \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{FS}} + 25 \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]

With

• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{FS} }[/math] the flagship's Level,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{H} }[/math] the helper ships' Level,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{FS} }[/math] the flagship's Luck.

Introduction Play	I'm Rodney. Admiral, kept you waiting, huh? It seems like my sister has been taking care of you a lot? But, now that I'm here, it's all fine.
	私がRodneyよ。ちょっとだけ、待った？Admiral、姉がずいぶんお世話になっているみたい？でも、私が来たからにはもう大丈夫よ。
Introduction Play	Admiral, how are you doing? Is that so? Then, I'll give you the power of Rodney today as well. Let's move forward together!
	Admiral、調子はどう？そう？じゃあ、今日もこのRodneyの力をあなたに。 共に進みましょう。
Library Play	I'm Rodney, the 2nd ship of the Nelson-class battleship. I've worked so hard! From the Home Fleet's duties to the pursuit of that German battleship, the Mediterranean, North Africa, and Normandy landing operations, I've been working non-stop! That's a considerable task even for one of the Big 7, isn't it? You should remember me too, okay?
	Nelson級戦艦、2番艦Rodneyよ。ものすっごい働いたわ。 本国艦隊勤務から、あのドイツ戦艦の捜索追撃戦、地中海、北アフリカ、ノルマンディ上陸作戦まで、ずっと働きづめだったんだから。 ビッグセブンの中でも相当なもんでしょ？ 私のことも、きっと覚えていてね。

Then, it can't be helped. Shall I give you a special lesson, perhaps?

Secretary Married Play	Admiral? Should we take a trip to the pub for a change? Is that so? Then, I'll stay here with you. Oh, I'll make some black tea. Should I add a little brandy to it? So you'd prefer honey added to it this time? Understood.
	Admiral？気分転換にパブにでも繰り出す？そう？じゃ、ここで一緒にいてあげる。そうだ、紅茶を入れるね。少しだけブランデー入れよっか。今は蜂蜜の方がいい？了解。
Wedding Play	Admiral, are you sure you want to give this to me? Oh wow, it's so pretty! I'm very grateful! Are you sure this is fine? Thank you! I'm happy too!
