In the [[Winter 2018 Event#Friend Fleet|Winter 2018 Event]], '''NPC Friend Fleets''' were introduced as a new mechanic. In certain event maps, an additional NPC Friend Fleet would arrive at the beginning of the night battle phase. This fleet would then take turns attacking the enemy fleet (as well as vice versa, as per standard night battle rules) until all combat-capable ships had finished engaging in combat. After this phase was complete, the NPC Friend Fleet would exit the battle, and the player's fleet would then begin attacking the enemy fleet.
'''NPC Friend Fleets''' were influenced by certain factors, including the following:
'''NPC Friend Fleets''' are unique in that they can be influenced by certain factors that include the following:
* '''NPC Friend Fleets''' appeared at random, selected from a pool of preset fleets.
* However, it was possible control which '''NPC Friend Fleets''' appeared by including certain ships in the player's fleet. In most cases, having a ship in the player's sortied fleet that was also a member of a preset NPC Friend Fleet(s) would prevent that/those preset NPC Friend Fleet(s) from appearing.
** For example: If you wanted to prevent the '''4th Cruiser Division NPC Friend Fleet''' (which consisted of [[Takao]], [[Atago]], [[Maya]], and [[Choukai]]) from appearing, you could use a ship from that group (like [[Maya]]) to prevent that fleet from appearing at the beginning of the night battle phase.
* Nevertheless, some '''NPC Friend Fleets could not be removed''', even with the workaround described above. It was speculated that these might have been set as default fleets in order to ensure that at least one NPC Friend Fleet would appear, regardless of the composition of the player's fleet. (See 19th Destroyer Division in the [[Winter 2018 Event#Friend Fleet|Winter 2018 Event Friend Fleet's Section]])
By using the above factors to help remove certain friend fleets, it was possible to improve the chances of strong '''NPC Friend Fleets''' appearing to aid players. Of course, it was also necessary to balance this against needlessly crippling the player's fleet's composition for the sake of influencing the appearance of the NPC Friend Fleet alone.
By using the factors to help remove certain friend fleets, you can make it possible to help improve your chances of good '''NPC Friend Fleets''' appearing to help aid you.
