Kongou Touch

On Kai Ni C, Kongou gains a Night Assault special attack that targets 2 enemies at random:

Kongou Kai Ni C must be Flagship.
- She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
Hiei Kai Ni C , Haruna Kai Ni or Warspite are the second ship.
- She must not be heavily damaged (大破)
It must be a Night Battle.
Line Ahead or Echelon needs to be selected for a single fleet.
Cruising Formation 2 or Cruising Formation 4 needs to be selected for a combined fleet.
In combined fleet, can be triggered in either the Main or the Escort fleet.

	Attack 1 (1st Ship)	Attack 2 (2nd Ship)
Base Multiplier	1.9x
Green T Engagement	1.25x (2.375x)
Red T Engagement	0.75x (1.425x)

There is an additional flat Accuracy bonus of x1.25.

The attack will consume extra ammo from both participating battleships when triggered. The total ammo consumption will be x1.2 of the original ammo consumption of those ships when the attack is triggered, hence:
- If it is triggered in a night battle in a normal node, it costs 6% extra ammo.
- If it is triggered in a night battle node, it costs 2% extra ammo.

During night battle only:^[1]
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate} = \Biggl\lfloor 4 \times \big( \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{FS}} + \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{2nd}} \big) + \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{FS}} + \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{2nd}} + \text{A} + \text{B} - 45 \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]

In %
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{FS} }[/math] is Kongou's Level,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{2nd} }[/math] is the 2nd ship's Level,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{FS} }[/math] is Kongou's Luck,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{2nd} }[/math] is the 2nd ship's Luck,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{A} = 32 }[/math] if a Surface Radar with LoS > 8 is equipped on any of the 2 ships, 0 otherwise,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{B} = 10 }[/math] if a Type 96 150cm Searchlight is equipped on any of the 2 ships, 0 otherwise.

The Night Assault can be:

Activated twice per sortie.
Activated in the same battle as another separate special attack.
