Mechanics

Participation requirements

  • Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
  • Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
  • Must have 20 free equipment slots.

Special Mechanics

  • The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium), Operation C (丙, Easy) or Operation D (丁, Casual) .
    • Choosing Hard or Normal requires a certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
    • When switching from any "lower" difficulty to any "higher" difficulty, the map will fully be reset.
    • When switching from any "higher" difficulty to any "lower" difficulty, the map will stay in the very same state it was previously, with only +25% of TP/HP being reset on the current phase's TP/HP bar.
  • Beginning with the second map, difficulty progression rules apply.
    • In order to play a map on Hard difficulty, the prior map must have been completed on either Normal or Hard.
    • e.g., to do E-2 on hard, you must have completed E-1 on normal or hard.
  • To simulate simultaneity of battles in different locations, Fleet Tags conditions & deployment restrictions are employed.
    • Ships not already color-tagged will be tagged with the color associated with a map or map's phase when deployed. This tag will be applied regardless of the difficulty and can't be removed by any measure before the end of the event.
    • One map can use multiple tags, usually separated by phases or fleets.
    • Several maps can share one or more tags.
    • On Normal or Hard difficulty, ships must have either the same-colored tag as the map/phase being deployed to, or no tag at all.
      • This requirement is sometimes waived on certain maps, mostly on the last map of the event where tags only matter on Hard, or on post-clear.

  • The Combined Fleet (CF), a fleet assembling both your 1st and 2nd fleets, may come back.
    • The CF is only available for your 1st and 2nd fleets, where the 2nd fleet can be merged with the 1st one in the Fleet menu.
    • The CF cannot be used in anything outside of event sorties.
    • 3 different types of CF are available, depending on the map requirements and your current fleet setup.
    • CF with a flagship that carries a the Fleet Command Facility , will be able to make use of the Ship Evacuation mechanic.
      • The evacuation requires an escort destroyer.
      • The evacuation consumes the ships' entire fuel & ammo reserves.
      • Only one ship can be evacuated per battle.
  • The Striking Force Fleet (SF), a fleet with seven ships, may come back.
    • The SF is only available for your 3rd fleet, where an extra 7th ship can be added in the Fleet menu.
    • The SF cannot be used in anything outside of event sorties.
    • A SF with a flagship that carries a the Striking Force Fleet Command Facility , will be able to make use of the Single Ship Evacuation mechanic.
      • The new Striking Force Fleet Command Facility will become obtainable and useable via quest F64.
        • Note that the quest will consume the Fleet Command Facility and 2 Action Report in order to convert it into the new Striking Force Fleet Command Facility.
        • The evacuation does not require an escort destroyer.
        • The evacuation consumes the ship's entire fuel & ammo reserves.
        • Only one ship can be evacuated per battle.
        • The damage the ship suffered may become worse during the evacuation, but she will never sink.
  • Returning this event, the Vanguard Formation can be used.
    • This formation will organize the fleet such that the 2 to 3 last ships protect the 2 to 4 firsts ships of the Fleet.
    • This formation is available for single and strike force fleets made of 4 to 7 ships.
      • The formation makes ships more evasive in combat, especially with well-trained Destroyers.
      • This formation is available only during the duration of the event, on the event's maps as well as on the regular maps.

  • NPC Friendly Fleets (FF) may be introduced to the event.
    • FFs act as another unit that appears in particular battles to help aid your fleet when attacking the enemy.
    • If you want help from a FF, you may activate them via the "Friendly Fleet" button in the main menu
      • If activated, one FF is randomly selected from a preset list of fleets to help your fleet.
      • Depending on who is in your fleet influence which FF can help you, excluding the FFs containing ships you also have in your main fleet.
      • The FF will appear at the start of either day or night battle, depending on the node.
    • FFs are usually available sometime after the start of the event, to help Admirals facing difficulties clearing the maps.

  • Completion Gimmicks are returning, asking you to accomplish certain requirements on a given map to unlock several things :
    • Boss debuff, from Summer 2015 Event's final map, where once you reach the "Last Dance" of the final boss of a given map, you can unlock its debuffed form.
    • Map phases, where some map areas need to be unlocked, like on 7-2 and 7-3.
      • Map areas can either be a path to the next boss, an intermediate path asking for new gimmicks, or a shortcut.
  • 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.
