Special Attacks
"Special Attacks", or "Touch", are special combats mechanics involving specific ships combination in a fleet, in order to trigger a powerful attack, involving a unique animation and sometimes a unique "Touch CG" for the involved ships.
There are 4 main types of Touch currently in the game, the "Big Seven Touch", the "Yamato Touch", the "Kongou Touch", and the "Submarine Touch".
- In a Combined Fleet, it is possible to both:
- Trigger a "Big Seven Touch" in the main fleet during day battle,
- Then trigger a "Kongou Touch" in the escort fleet during night battle.
Big Seven Touch
"Big Seven" refers to the firsts 7 battleships built to carry the biggest naval guns (> 40 cm) allowed by the Washington Naval Treaty, namely, the Nagato-class, Nelson-class, and Colorado-class.
