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！)
- for the touch with only Musashi.
- "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
| "Touch Helpers" |
|---|
   
|
- Yamato Kai Ni/Juu must be the flagship.
- Secretary for combined fleets.
- She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
- Another "Touch Helper" must be in the 2nd position.
- She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
- When using Musashi Kai Ni as the helper, Yamato and Musashi positions can be swaped freely.
- ?? There must be 6 or more surface ships in the fleet.
- ?? There must be no submarine in 6-ship fleets. In 7-ship fleets, only 1 submarine is allowed.
- ?? There must be no surface ship in the fleet sunk or retreated via
FCF
during sortie causing remaining < 6. Ships in the escort fleet are not affected.
- In single fleet, Echelon
needs to be selected. - In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 4
needs to be selected.
If triggered:
- The flagship will do a 1st & 2nd attack,
- The Helper will do a 3rd attack.
- Each attack target a ship at random.
