====Ship Locking====
 
−
 
 
−
''[[Ship_Locking|Full Article: Ship Locking]]''
 
−
 
 
−
Ship locking is a system that restricts to which maps a certain ship may be sortied.
 
−
 
 
−
To illustrate, the Summer 2015 ship locking restrictions will be used:
 
−
* <span style="color:blue">'''BLUE Tag'''</span>: E1 and E2
 
−
* <span style="color:green">'''GREEN Tag'''</span>: E3 and E6
 
−
* <span style="color:orange">'''ORANGE Tag'''</span>: E4
 
−
* <span style="color:red">'''RED Tag'''</span>: E5
 
−
 
 
−
With the additional restriction for the final map E7:
 
−
* '''Any EXCEPT <span style="color:orange">ORANGE Tag</span>''': E7
 
−
 
 
−
<small>n.b. the actual color of the tags were Yellow and Orange, but red has been used for better display</small>
 
−
 
 
−
# A ship that commences a sortie to a map for the first time receives a colored tag for that particular map, if applicable.
 
−
#* Tags are received regardless of map difficulty setting
 
−
#* Not all maps tag ships, for example, E7 did not issue a ship tag.
 
−
# Any ship, regardless of tag, may sortie to a map for which easy difficulty has been chosen
 
−
#** e.g. Kongou sorties to E1, receiving a blue tag. She may then sortie to E3 (green tag) '''only if''' the difficulty setting for E3 is easy.
 
−
# Ships that do not have tags may sortie to any event map,  however, once they receive a tag, they are bound by the restrictions
 
−
#** e.g. Haruna has not been used yet and is untagged, she may sortie to E7 on medium difficulty. If she then sorties to E5, she will receive the orange tag, and may no longer sortie to E7
 
−
 
 
−
===Difficulty Settings===
 
−
**Difficulty settings have been implemented, resulting in easier or harder enemies with lesser or greater rewards. Difficulties also sometimes ship drops as well as drop rates. When dealing with ship locking, sometimes the 'Easy' difficulty will allow already-locked ships, ''although doing maps on easy will still put the stamp on new ships.''
 
−
*[[Combined Fleet]] mechanics are often implemented on some maps during events.
 
−
**Limited-time quests are sometimes required to unlock the next map.
 
−
 
 
−
==Stockpile Creation==
 
−
*A stockpile of {{Fuel}}{{Ammo}}{{Steel}}{{Bauxite}} resources & [[File:Irepair.png|18px|link=]] buckets will be required.
 
−
** Given a stockpile under the resource softcap, the natural regeneration rate of resources is 10,800 fuel, ammo, and steel per week, and 3600 bauxite.
 
−
*** For reference, expedition 5 being run non-stop will bring in a gross 27,000 fuel and ammo per week, and 1800 steel and bauxite
 
−
** Buckets do not naturally regenerate, and may be attained from expedition 2 at an average rate of 1 bucket per hour
 
−
*** In practical gameplay, Fuel (used for repairs and sorties) is much more important than Ammunition (only for sortie), while steel is the least important resource (only for repairs),
 
−
*** Bauxite usage varies greatly depending on the current demands of the fleet (a carrier or LBAS-dependent event will consume bauxite rapidly, while less CV-heavy events will consume far less)
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
*Although it's also a general rule-of-thumb, it deserves extra mention here: always have at least two of each ship type ready & leveled as the event maps' fleet composition requirements will not be known beforehand.
 
−
**However, ship locking has made this even more important. Though on Easy Difficulties (see above) ship locking is not enforced, it can cut down on possible rewards from clearing maps; not having a well-spread fleet can reduce effectiveness throughout the event!
 
−
**Remember to plan for possible combined fleet actions as well: Having several leveled standard carriers and light carriers are important for Carrier task forces; having high-level battleships and cruisers is important for surface task forces; and Heavy Cruisers, Torpedo Cruisers, Destroyers and a Light Cruiser are needed for the escort force.

* At least a '''75% sortie win-rate'''. This is shown in the [[Tutorial: FAQ#What_does_the_admiral_stats_page_show.3F|Fleet HQ Stats page]].

 +
* Accumulating a stockpile of resources ({{Fuel}}{{Ammo}}{{Steel}}{{Bauxite}}) and Buckets([[File:Irepair.png|18px|link=]]) prior the event start or during the weeks that lead up to an event is extremely recommended.
 +
** Using the softcap mechanic to your advantage might be benefic should the situation demand for it. For each resource under the softcap, it is generated up to 1440 for {{Fuel}}{{Ammo}}{{Steel}} and 480 for {{Bauxite}}, per day.

*** For reference, expedition 5 being run non-stop will bring in a gross 3850 fuel and ammo, and 257 steel and bauxite per day.
 +
*** As buckets do not regen over time, focusing on stocking buckets might be preferrable on a higher priority. Expedition 2 might be preferred for it's very high efficiency and low maintenance.
 +
*** Fuel and ammo are the most used resources and also the most easily obtained resources through expedition. Steel is used in a much smaller scale in comparison, but is substantially harder to stockpile in a shorter period of time. Bauxite uses will vary depending on each particular map.

====Ship Locking====
 +
 +
''[[Ship_Locking|Full Article: Ship Locking]]''
 +
 +
Ship locking is a system that restricts to which maps a certain ship may be sortied. When a ship is sortied to an event map for the first time, it will have a tag applied to it. The Tag System prevents any fleet with ships that have a tag different from the one that the map accepts from sortieing to said map. In Easy and Casual difficulties, tags are still applied, but are not checked, meaning you may still sortie fleets with ships with different tags, however the map's tags will still be applied to ships without any. Ships that already tagged cannot lose it through any means.
 +
Furthermore, a map might accept any or multiple tags, and as well not issue any tags.
 +
 +
===Difficulty===
 +
Exclusive to event maps, a difficulty can be selected. The difficulties are referred to as "classes". Classes go from D (丁) to A (甲), with the western standard for difficulty being Casual (丁), Easy (丙), Normal (乙) and Hard (甲).
 +
Difficulty changes the enemy compositions, routing rules and map rewards accordingly, as well as ship drops tables with both their rates and availability being affected.

Revision as of 02:00, 25 April 2021

During events, qualified players gain access to special a time-limited world with special maps, which usually reference historical operations; the only exception was a collaboration event with the Arpeggio franchise: Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova. Event maps stay up for an indeterminate amount of time, usually measured in weeks, which grew as the game progressed to be anywhere between 2 and 8 weeks.

Event maps pose considerably higher challenge levels compared to normal maps, employing exclusive special Abyssal Fleet bosses and mechanics, such as the Combined Fleet.

Starting on Spring 2014 event, LoS Line of Sight-based checks were implemented. A fleet's total LoS affects movement through the map nodes and whether you reach the boss node. Since then, this mechanic has been implemented into many other maps, more prominently on World 2-5.

Event Preparation

The requirements to sortie to event maps are:

  • At least a 75% sortie win-rate. This is shown in the Fleet HQ Stats page.
  • At least 5 free ship slots for new kanmusu to join before sortieing.
  • At least 20 free equipment slots before sortieing.
  • Some maps might require specific conditions, such as not using a specific ship type, or using a specific fleet type.

Stockpiling

  • Accumulating a stockpile of resources (FuelAmmunitionSteelBauxite) and Buckets(Irepair.png) prior the event start or during the weeks that lead up to an event is extremely recommended.
    • Using the softcap mechanic to your advantage might be benefic should the situation demand for it. For each resource under the softcap, it is generated up to 1440 for FuelAmmunitionSteel and 480 for Bauxite, per day.
      • For reference, expedition 5 being run non-stop will bring in a gross 3850 fuel and ammo, and 257 steel and bauxite per day.
      • As buckets do not regen over time, focusing on stocking buckets might be preferrable on a higher priority. Expedition 2 might be preferred for it's very high efficiency and low maintenance.
      • Fuel and ammo are the most used resources and also the most easily obtained resources through expedition. Steel is used in a much smaller scale in comparison, but is substantially harder to stockpile in a shorter period of time. Bauxite uses will vary depending on each particular map.

Event Mechanics

Ship Locking

Full Article: Ship Locking

Ship locking is a system that restricts to which maps a certain ship may be sortied. When a ship is sortied to an event map for the first time, it will have a tag applied to it. The Tag System prevents any fleet with ships that have a tag different from the one that the map accepts from sortieing to said map. In Easy and Casual difficulties, tags are still applied, but are not checked, meaning you may still sortie fleets with ships with different tags, however the map's tags will still be applied to ships without any. Ships that already tagged cannot lose it through any means. Furthermore, a map might accept any or multiple tags, and as well not issue any tags.

Difficulty

Exclusive to event maps, a difficulty can be selected. The difficulties are referred to as "classes". Classes go from D (丁) to A (甲), with the western standard for difficulty being Casual (丁), Easy (丙), Normal (乙) and Hard (甲). Difficulty changes the enemy compositions, routing rules and map rewards accordingly, as well as ship drops tables with both their rates and availability being affected.
