Fleet Formations

Friend Fleets will now come with a new function which will allow players to choose if they wish to bring in a Friend Fleet to aid them in battle or not. They can also choose to also decide if they want a normal Friend Fleet come aid them in battle or if they wish to use a powerful Friend Fleet that will require the cost of 6 Instant Constructions to allow you call in a more powerful Friend Fleet to aid you into battle.

If you choose to opt in for the powerful Friend fleet, the Instant Constructions will not be consumed unless a powerful Friend Fleet appears.

Mechanics

Participation requirements

• Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
• Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
• Must have 20 free equipment slots.

Special Mechanics

1. The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium), Operation C (丙, Easy) or Operation D (丁, Very Easy) .
   • Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
   • An important note to all Admirals intending to clear the event on Hard difficulty - further (new) conditions now apply:
     • When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
       • Switching between any other difficulties will not reset the debuff mechanism.
2. The debuff system from Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be attacked and other conditions fulfilled to reduce boss armor, will return.
3. Returning this event, the Vanguard Formation can be used .
   • This formation will organize the fleet such that the 3rd-6th/7th ships protect the Flagship and 2nd Ship of the Fleet.
     • In addition, the formation allows for ships to become more evasive in combat situations, especially with well-trained Destroyer.
     • This formation is also available only during the duration of the event.
     • The formation will be usable by both normal fleets as well as the Striking Force Fleet.
4. NPC Friend Fleets have been introduced into the game.
   • Friend Fleets act as another unit that appears in particular battles to help aid your fleet when attacking the enemy at the start of night battle.
     • NPC Friend Fleets are selected from a randomized preset list of ship.
     • Depending on who you have in your fleet can also influence who will be arrive to aid you in battle.
5. Enemy Radar Ambush Nodes have been introduced into the game.
   • Entering this node will result in your fleet facing off against an enemy fleet that will ambush and attack your fleet
     • Your Fleet will not be able to fight against the enemy Fleet.
     • By meeting certain conditions, you can evade these nodes.
6. Emergency Anchorage Maintenance/Repairs 【緊急泊地修理】
   • Both Akashi Kai and Akitsushima Kai will be capable of conducting emergency repairs; however, Akitsushima has more limited capabilities compared to Akashi.
   • See under Emergency Anchorage Repairs for details.
7. High-Altitude Abyssal Bombers that are resistant to all types of interceptors other than the new land-based jet interceptors may also return this event.
