Special Attacks

Revision as of 06:35, 23 June 2022 by Jigaraphale (talk | contribs)

"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 or Yamato 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.

Yamato Special Attacks

Yamato gains two different special attacks on Kai Ni/Juu, distinguished by how many ships participate:

Devs also have stated that the touch helpers will be updated with relevant ship implementation [5].

Yamato-class 2-Ship Special Attack

At Kai Ni/Juu, Yamato and Musashi gain a special attack:

"Touch Helpers"
Yamato Flagship: Musashi Flagship:
 
 
 
 Kai/Deux
  		 Kai Ni/Juu
  • A Yamato-class Kai Ni/Juu must be 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 in the 2nd position with a Nagato-class Kai Ni in the 3rd one being lightly damaged (小破) or better, there is a random chance to trigger the "3-Ship Special Attack" instead.
  • 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 evacuated via   FCF 
              during a sortie, making the remaining total < 6. Ships in the escort fleet are not counted.
  • In single fleet, Echelon  needs to be selected.
  • In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 4  needs to be selected.
  • The touch can activate even if Yamato Kai Ni Juu is equipped with ASW equipment when facing a fleet mixed with submarines.

If triggered:

  • The flagship will do a 1st & 2nd attack,
  • The Helper will do a 3rd attack,
  • Each attack targets a ship at random,
  • If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

Yamato 3-Ship Special Attack

At Kai Ni/Juu, Yamato gains a special attack:

  • Yamato Kai Ni/Juu must be the flagship.
    • Secretary for combined fleets.
    • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
  • A pair of ships from a same "Helper Pair" must be in the 2nd and 3rd positions.
    • They must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
    • When using Musashi Kai Ni as the helper in the 2nd position with a Nagato-class Kai Ni in the 3rd one:
      • If the 3rd ship is lightly damaged (小破) or better, there is a random chance to trigger the "2-Ship Special Attack" instead.
      • If the 3rd ship is moderately damaged (中破) or worse, the "2-Ship Special Attack" will trigger instead.
  • 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 evacuated via   FCF 
              during a sortie, making the remaining total < 6. Ships in the escort fleet are not counted.
  • In single fleet, Echelon  needs to be selected.
  • In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 4  needs to be selected.
  • The touch can activate even if Yamato Kai Ni Juu is equipped with ASW equipment when facing a fleet mixed with submarines.
"Helper Pairs"
One of the following pairs:
Musashi Kai Ni 2nd ship: In any order:
Musashi Kai Ni 
+
1 Nagato-class Kai Ni 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

If triggered:

  • Yamato will do a 1st attack,
  • The 2nd ship will do a 2nd attack,
  • The 3rd ship will do a 3rd attack,
  • Each attack targets a ship at random,
  • If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

  • The modifiers are post-cap on day battle, and pre-cap on night battle.
  • The equipment bonuses do not stack further than 1 radar and/or 1 AP shell per ship.
    • Only ships equipped with those equipment will get a bonus for their attack(s).

The attack will consume extra ammo from participating ships when triggered. The total ammo consumption will be x1.8 of the original ammo consumption of those ships when the attack is triggered.

The touch:

  • Can be triggered even if artillery spotting fails to activate.
  • Can only be activated once per sortie.
  • Has a chance to trigger every time the flagship takes a turn at shelling.
    • In single fleet, if it fails to trigger in day battle, there is a chance to trigger it in the follow-up night battle.
  • The rate is probably:
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor \text{V} \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Lv}} + \text{W} \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Luck}} + \text{X} + \text{Y} \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv} }[/math] the Level of the participating ships,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck} }[/math] the   Luck of the participating ships,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{V & W} }[/math] some yet unknown bonus factors,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{X} }[/math] some yet unknown bonus variables,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Y} }[/math] some yet unknown base rate.

It is notably affected by:

  • The Level and luck   stat of the participating ships,
  •   Surface Radars (5+ LoS?) on attacking ships (+8~10 %)[1].

It is currently measured above 70 %.

Kongou-Class Touch

Only Kongou-class 3rd remodels can trigger this touch also called "Night Assault" (namely Kongou Kai Ni C and Hiei Kai Ni C).

Submarine Special Attack

Also called the "AS Touch", it is a Special Attack involving a Submarine Tender leading a fleet of at least two submarines.

  • The flagship must be a Submarine Tender (AS) at Lv 30+,
    • She must not be more than moderately damaged (中破).
  • The 2nd and 3rd ships must be Submarines (SS) or Aircraft Carrying Submarines (SSV) and not evacuated via   SFFCF ,
    • The 4th ship may optionally be a SS(V), but does not affect the above requirement,
    • At least two SS(V) among the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ships must not be more than lightly damaged (小破),
    • If all 3 ships are SS(V), the 2nd and 4th ones will attack; if one of the two is moderately damaged (中破), the 3rd one will attack instead.[1]
  • The fleet must be a single fleet or a Striking Force Fleet,
  • The formation needs to be either Echelon  or Line Abreast ,
  • At least one Submarine Supply Material  must be available in the inventory.
  1. ↑ [1]

  • Two SS(V) will launch torpedo strikes.
  • The attack power of each strike is postcapped and unaffected by formation, engagement, or damage cap.
  • A rough damage formula per Submarine attack is:
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{DMG}_\text{day} = \text{TP} \times ( 1.2 + 0.04 \times \sqrt{LV} ) }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{DMG}_\text{night} = ( \text{FP + TP} ) \times ( 1.2 + 0.04 \times \sqrt{LV} ) }[/math]

With
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{DMG} }[/math] the damage result for day and night battle respectively,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{FP} }[/math] the submarine's Firepower   stat,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{TP} }[/math] the submarine's Torpedo   stat,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{LV} }[/math] the submarine's Level.
    • [math]\displaystyle{ 1.2 + 0.04 \times \sqrt{LV} = 1.6 }[/math] at Lv 100.

The number of attacks per Touch ranges from 2 to 4.

  • Each submarine will trough either 1 or 2 torpedo strikes.
    • Only Lv 75+ submarines can trigger 2 strikes,
    • If a Lv 75+ submarine does not carry any   Submarine Radar, it rolls between 1 and 2 strikes randomly (exact rate unclear yet),
    • If a Lv 75+ submarine does carry any   Submarine Radar, it is guaranteed to roll 2 strikes.

One Submarine Supply Material  will be consumed for EACH battle the Touch triggers in.

  • If the Touch triggers twice in a battle, only a single   will be consumed for this battle.
  • If the Touch triggers in multiple nodes, one   will be consumed for each node it is triggered.
It does not consume any extra ammo. If the game is refreshed before the battle ends, then no material will be consumed even if the touch triggered.

Trigger rate is affected by the Level and luck   stat of the participating ships[1].

It has a chance to trigger every time the AS takes a turn at shelling.
  • It can trigger in both day and night for the same battle.
  • It can only trigger once during day battle.
  • If it fails to trigger during the day battle, there is still a chance to trigger it in the follow-up night battle.
  • If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.
The attack order is always (where amo,g the attacking submarines, 1 is upper one and 2 is lower one):
  • 1-1-2-2 for 4 attacks,
  • 1-1-2 or 1-2-2 for 3 attacks,
  • 1-2 for 2 attacks.
    • If touch stops early, then attacks can be just 1-1
    • Also note that the actual order may be different from client animation of who shoots torpedoes, which always assigns attackers alternately like 1-2-1-2 or 1-2-1 or 1-2, so you may mismatch the real attack.
The touch can be activated multiple times per sortie.
  1. ↑ [2][3]
  2. ↑ [4]

When attacking a fleet, the usual Targeting rules apply.

  • The torpedoes fired target ships independently,
  • When facing a Combined Fleet, if any ship is present in the escort fleet on day battle, then all torpedoes will be fired to the escort fleet.
