Nelson-class Special Attack

Nelson and Rodney are able to perform a special attack:

"Touch Helpers"
Any FBB, BB, BBV, CA, CAV, CL, DD, DE, AV, AS, AR, AO, LHA
  • A Nelson-class must be the flagship.
    • Secretary for combined fleets.
    • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
  • The 3rd and 5th ships must not be any CV/CVB/CVL/SS/SSV.
    • They can be heavily damaged (大破).
  • 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.

If triggered:

  • The flagship will do a 1st attack,
  • The 3rd ship will do a 2nd attack,
  • The 5th ship will do a 3rd attack,
  • Each attack targets a ship at random,
  • If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.
Multiplier No other

Other Nelson-class present[1]
Flagship Other Nelson-class
Base 2.0 2.3 2.4
Red T 2.5 2.875 3.0
  • The modifiers are post-cap on day battle, and pre-cap on night battle.
  • There is an additional small   Accuracy bonus of 1.05 [2].
  • Even if the other two ships can attack submarines, they will never target them during the touch.

  • It does not cost any extra resources if 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[1][2]:
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor 1.1 \times \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{FS}} + \sum_\text{Helper} \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{H}} + 1.4 \times \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{FS}} + 25 \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]
With
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{FS} }[/math] the flagship's Level,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{H} }[/math] the helper ships' Level,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{FS} }[/math] the flagship's   Luck.
