Special Attacks/Kongou-class Touch

On Kai Ni B/C, Kongou, Hiei, and Haruna gain a special attack called "Night Assault":

• A Kongou-class Kai Ni B/C must be flagship.
  • Flagship of the 2nd fleet in combined fleets.
• Another "Touch Helper" must be in the 2nd position.
• Both must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
• It must be a Night Battle.

• There must be 5 or more surface ships in the fleet.
  • There must be no more than 1 submarine in 6-ship fleets. In 7-ship fleets, only 2 submarines are allowed.
  • There must be no more than 1 surface ship in the fleet sunk or evacuated via FCF
    during a sortie, making the remaining total < 5. Only ships in the escort fleet are counted for combined ones.

• In single fleet, Line Ahead or Echelon need to be selected.
• In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 2 or Cruising Formation 4 need to be selected.
  • In a combined fleet, it can only be triggered in the Escort fleet.

• The modifiers are pre-cap.
• There is also an Accuracy bonus of 1.35~1.4 [2].

• 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.

The Night Assault can be:

• Activated in the same battle as another separate special attack.
• Activated twice per sortie, during night battle only:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor 3.5 \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Lv}} + 1.1 \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Luck}} + \text{A} + \text{B} - 33 \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]

With

• [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{A & B} }[/math] as follow:
