Revision as of 13:08, 3 March 2020 by Totaku (talk | contribs)

The 2020 Hinamatsuri Mini event is scheduled to begin on March 3rd, 2020. As of current, this event is to serve as a filler arc for the Winter 2020 Event. The title of this event will be called Peach Festival! Offshore Waves

Unlike previous events, this event will not contain any new ships but will instead offer players a chance to earn items to use torwards remodels. To further top it off, the mini-event is planned to have it's own limited time event map location much like a traditional event.

The event map area will consist of 1 map only. And will consist of 3 phases: 1 Transport Phase, 1 Anti-installation Phase, 1 Carrier Task Force Interceptoion Mission.

  1. The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (, Hard), Operation B (, Medium), Operation C (, Easy) or Operation D (, 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.

      • 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.
