Special Attacks/Yamato Touch

Yamato gains two different specials attacks on Kai Ni/Juu.

The devs have called them:

  • "1st Squadron, charge! Main guns, full salvo!" (第一戦隊、突撃!主砲、全力斉射ッ!)
  • "Yamato, charge! Second ship, please follow up!" (大和、突撃します!二番艦も続いてください!)
    • for the touch with other ships it can be a 2-ship or a 3-ship touch.

However, mechanic-wise it makes more sense to distinguish the touches as 2-ship touch and 3-ship touch:

Yamato 2-ship Touch
