Revision as of 07:08, 12 November 2017

The Fall 2017 Event is scheduled to begin during the Month of November. This Event is titled "Showdown at Operation Sho-Go! Battle of Leyte Gulf (Part 1)".

This event will focus on the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Unlike previous events, the Battle of Leyte Gulf will be split into two separate events. The Fall Event will be Part 1, while the Winter 2018 Event will be Part 2 of the event. It has been confirmed that the final map of Part 1 will be related to the Battle of Surigao Strait.

It is not currently known if this has any gameplay / game mechanic implications; the page will be updated if/when more is revealed.

Details about the event mentioned in the KanColle Naval Review, Kensuke Tanaka's interview in November's Comptiq, and the interview in December's Comptiq have noted that the event will feature the Akizuki-class Destroyer Suzutsuki and several other "smaller ships".

The current scale of the event is known to be Medium Scale. There will be a total of four maps.

Recent tweets as well as updates to voice lines and CGs indicate that the event will involve the Battle of the Surigao Strait.

Additional information regarding event-related subjects and content will be revealed by dev tweets and other materials.

Special Mechanics

The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium) or Operation C (丙, 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.
The debuff system from Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be killed to reduce boss armor will return.
New: This event (Fall 2017) will allow a fleet with seven ships to sortie to the certain maps, including the final map of the event.
- This fleet cannot be sortied during exercises or sent on expeditions while it contains seven ships.
- The fleet containing seven ships can only be created and used in the third fleet in the menu (out of a total of four fleets).
