This page is meant to provide a brief overview of the combat flow '''for a single fleet''' in Kantai Collection. It has been truncated due to length. For more detailed explanations on the various combat mechanics, please see the individual pages below.
+
Combat is a major component of the game in Kantai Collection. Combat is accessed through the sortie menu by selecting a map to send a fleet. Multiple mechanics weave together to create an intricate combat dynamic. For more detailed explanations on the various combat mechanics, please see the individual pages below.

=Combat Phases=
   −
In normal surface engagements, combat will proceed in the following order.  
+
In each node, combat will consist of at least one, up to several Combat Phases. The number of combat phases depends on the node type, with each node type using a different set of combat phases and order.
 +

'''Exceptions'''
+
==Formation Selection==
 
  −
The following are exceptions to the usual combat flow:
  −
 
  −
* [[Combined Fleet#Combat Flow|Combined Fleet]] engagements which have their own flow. Please see the page for more details.
  −
* '''Air Battle''' nodes that can be found in 1-6 and some event maps that just consists of two airstrikes.
  −
* '''Air Raid''' nodes that can be found in 6-5 and some event maps that just consist of a single airstrike.
  −
* '''Night Battle''' nodes that can be found in 5-3 and some event maps are just have the night battle stage.
  −
* '''Night/Day''' nodes that can be found on some event maps begin with a night battle then proceed to day.
  −
* '''RADAR Ambush''' nodes that can be found on some event maps where your fleet takes a support shelling attack. There is no formation selection.
     −
==Formation Selection==
+
If the fleet currently deployed has 4 or more ships, the player will be prompted to pick a fleet formation before every battle. Fleets with 3 or less ships will not have a fleet formation prompt and will default to '''Line Ahead'''.
When you have 4 or more ships in the fleet, you will be required to select a formation before entering combat.
  −
* Fleets with 3 or less ships default to '''Line Ahead'''.
  −
* Combined fleets use a different set of formations unless it is a night battle only node. Please see the [[Combined Fleet#Fleet Formations|Combined Fleet]] page for details.

'''Notes:'''
 
+
* Exact values were datamined from KanColle Kai for the Vita. Testing on the browser version has corroborated these results.
'''Important Notes:'''
+
** Values for Vanguard are vague as it wasn't introduced for KanColle Kai.
* The values are datamined from KanColle Kai for the Vita. Testing on the browser version has corroborated these values.
+
* Diamond Formation specifically requires 5 or more ships present in the fleet.
** Values for vanguard are vague because it was never introduced into KanColle Kai.
+
* Flagship protection refers to when an escorting ship (as in, any ship except the flagship) may protect the flagship from being damaged by receiving the attack instead.
*The surface firepower modifier applies to only shelling and torpedo attacks.
  −
*Diamond formation is only available when you have 5 or more ships in the fleet.
  −
*'''Flagship protection''' is the situation where a non-flagship ship protects the flagship from being damaged by receiving the attack instead.
     −
'''Vanguard Special Mechanics'''
+
'''Vanguard Formation:'''
* Vanguard is only available during event periods.
+
* Vanguard is only available when the Event World is active. It is usable in any map during such time, however.
** When it is available, it is usable in all maps.
+
* The modifiers on Vanguard Formation refer respectively to the "upper half" and "bottom half" of the fleet.
* Vanguard has two values because ships have different bonuses depending on their position in the fleet.
+
** For a fleet with 6 or 7 ships, the top row applies to ships 1, 2 and 3 and the bottom row applies to the remaining ships.
** For a fleet with 6 or 7 ships, the top row applies to ships 1-3 and the bottom row applies to ships 4-6/7.
+
** For a fleet with 4 or 5 ships, the top row applies to ships 1 and 2 and the bottom row applies to the remaining ships.
** For a fleet with 4 or 5 ships, the top row applies to ships 1-2 and the bottom row applies to ships 3-4/5.
   
* '''Attacks from support fleets are affected by the top row multipliers.'''
 
* '''Attacks from support fleets are affected by the top row multipliers.'''
* Ships at the bottom of a fleet have an increased chance of being targeted by the enemy. See above for how position is determined.
+
* The bottom half ships have increased aggro (increased chance of being targeted by the enemy), being targeted 75% of the time. See [1] for tested values. Valid as of 09/03/2018.
** Ships at the top (slots 1-2 or 1-3) have a ~25% chance of being targeted.
+
* Vanguard has a further post-cap evasion modifier for all ships in the fleet. See [2] for tested values. Valid as of 09/03/2018.
** Ships at the bottom (slots 3-5 or 4-7) have a ~75% chance of being targeted.
+
** For ships at the top half: Non-destroyers get a 5% bonus. Destroyers get a 20% bonus.
** See [https://twitter.com/Xe_UCH/status/972247479956615168] for tested values. Valid as of 09/03/2018.
+
** For ships at the bottom half: Non-destroyers get a 20% bonus. Destroyers get a 40% bonus.
* Vanguard has a further evasion modifier that is '''post-cap''' depending on the ship's position in the fleet. This is very important because it allows you to hit very high evasion values. See above for how position is determined.
  −
** For ships at the top (slots 1-2 or 1-3): '''Non-destroyers''' get a '''5%''' bonus. '''Destroyers''' get a '''20%''' bonus.
  −
** For the rest of the ships at the bottom (slots 3-5 or 4-7): '''Non-destroyers''' get a '''20%''' bonus. '''Destroyers''' get a '''40%''' bonus.
  −
** See [https://twitter.com/Xe_UCH/status/972244541783793664] for tested values. Valid as of 09/03/2018.
      
===Choosing a Formation===
 
===Choosing a Formation===
 +
 
[[File:Formation_Selection_Screen.png|thumb|right|Formation Selection Screen]]
 
[[File:Formation_Selection_Screen.png|thumb|right|Formation Selection Screen]]
* '''Line Ahead'''
+
When selecting a formation, its modifiers will be applied to the entirety of the next battle node whenever applicable. Picking another formation will discard any previous formation bonuses and penalties and use the new modifiers instead. Each formation has a general use-case archetype based on its modifiers.
: This formation has the highest damage output for surface combat but poor anti-submarine. It will be the default formation you use for any surface combat node.
  −
* '''Double Line'''
  −
: This formation has high shelling and anti-submarine accuracy in exchange for lowered damage output. Because of how easy it is to increase accuracy in this game, it's accuracy benefits are negligible. It's main use is for engaging mixed surface and submarine fleets. The other use is for triggering [[Nelson]]'s special attack.
  −
* '''Diamond'''
  −
: This formation boasts the highest anti-air modifier. It's primary use is for air raid and air battle nodes in order to mitigate airstrike damage.
  −
* '''Echelon'''
  −
: This formation is similar to Double Line in effectiveness. You would not be picking this over double line. Its main purpose is to trigger the special attacks for [[Nagato]], [[Mutsu]] and [[Colorado]] (in single fleets).
  −
:* Echelon was improved in the [[Game Updates/2019/Feburary 27th|February 27th 2019]] update.
  −
* '''Line Abreast'''
  −
: This formation has the best anti-submarine multiplier but has the worst surface damage modifiers. It is only to be used for submarine-only nodes.
  −
* '''Vanguard'''
  −
: This formation is used to help fleets pass through difficult nodes where it is unlikely you are able to sink the enemy before they deal heavy damage to your fleet. The post-cap evasion bonus allows destroyers to hit very high evasion rates. Combined with the preferential targeting, it means destroyers in the bottom slots can function as evasion tanks.
  −
: Care must be taken as this formation has very poor damage multipliers for the top slots. While placing your powerful ships in here means they can be protected by your destroyers, it also means that their combat effectiveness is reduced. This can result in the enemy being given more attacks on your fleet.
  −
: Since the damage multipliers in the top slot affect your support fleet, this can '''severely reduce''' the effectiveness of support.
  −
 
  −
==Detection==
  −
[[File:Successfull_Detection.png|thumb|right|Successful Detection]]
  −
The detection phase involves your fleet attempting to find the enemy fleet. Success is determined by the {{LOS}} of your fleet. If you fail detection your fleet will be '''unable to participate in the aerial combat phase'''. This will result in automatic Air Incapability.
  −
 
  −
* It is possible to succeed without any reconnaissance planes but there will be no recon plane animation.
  −
* It is possible to lose recon planes on failing detection.
  −
* Although the display indicates that {{Hit}} and {{Evasion}} has changed on success or failure. Testing has shown that it has no noticeable effect.
  −
 
  −
==Jet Assault==
  −
If there are jets in your fleet, you will have a preemptive attack with them. Jets are subject to interception from other jets and anti-air fire from the enemy fleet. For more details please see [[Aerial Combat]] and [[Anti-Air Fire]].
  −
 
  −
* Jets follow the dive bomber rules when calculating damage.
  −
* Jets will attempt to intercept enemy jets.
  −
* Jets will also participate in the regular aerial combat phase. This means they have to pass through interception and anti-air fire '''twice''' per battle.
  −
* Currently there are only two jets in game:
  −
** [[Kikka Kai]]
  −
** [[Jet Keiun Kai]]
  −
 
  −
==Land Based Bombing==
  −
[[File:LBAS_Attack.png|thumb|right|Type 96 LBAA attacking Enemy Fleet]]
  −
In 6-4, 6-5 and some event maps, you will have access to Land-Based Air Squadrons. When active, it will send a number of waves to bomb the enemy fleet. For more details, please see [[Land-Based Air Squadron]].
  −
 
  −
* The land based planes are subject to interception and anti-air fire.
  −
* They can be depleted by raids on your air base.
  −
 
  −
'''Jet Land Based Bombing:'''
  −
 
  −
If you have jets in your land base, they will perform a [[Combat#Jet Assault|jet assault]] before the land based bombing. All the same rules for jet assault apply.
  −
 
  −
==Aerial Combat==
  −
In this phase, both fleets will send out fighters and bombers (if they have any) to contest air control and bomb the opposing fleet. For more details, please see [[Aerial Combat]], [[Damage Calculations#Airstrike|Airstrike]] and [[Anti-Air Fire]].
  −
 
  −
Aerial combat will proceed in the following order:
  −
 
  −
* Air combat
  −
* Contact
  −
* Fleet Anti-Air Defense
  −
* Airstrike
  −
 
  −
==Support Fleet==
  −
[[File:Support_Expedition.png|thumb|right|Support Expedition appearing]]
  −
In World 5 and events, you will be able to send fleets on support expeditions. If a fleet is on a support expedition, there is a chance they will arrive to assist you with an attack. The damage done and effectiveness depends on the type of support expedition used. Please see [[Support_Expedition|Support Expeditions]] for more details.
  −
 
  −
* It is possible to lose planes from Airstrike Support if the enemy has opposing air power.
  −
 
  −
==Opening Attacks==
  −
There are two different opening attacks that can be triggered if certain conditions are met; Opening Anti-Submarine Attacks and Opening Torpedo Attacks. For more details on how damage is calculated, please see [[Damage Calculations]].
  −
 
  −
* Opening attacks are affected by engagement modifiers even though it only appears after this phase.
     −
===Opening Anti-Submarine (OASW)===
+
* '''Line Ahead''': All-out surface combat formation.
If the fleet possesses ships capable of performing OASW, they will begin attacking submarines '''in order of range'''. The firing order will be random among ships with the same range. This phase can disable opening torpedo attacks from enemy submarines if you manage to sink them. For more details, please see [[Opening Anti-Submarine Warfare]].
+
* '''Double Line''': All-around, high accuracy formation.
 
+
* '''Diamond''': Anti-Air formation.
===Opening Torpedo===
+
* '''Echelon''': Mixed surface-ASW combat formation.
If the fleet possesses ships capable of opening torpedo attacks, they will launch torpedoes '''simultaneously'''.
+
* '''Line Abreat''': ASW formation.
 
+
* '''Vanguard''': Defensive/evasive formation.
* Opening torpedoes can be fired by [[:Category:Submarines|submarines]] over level 10, any ship equipped with [[:Category:Midget Submarine|midget submarines]] and the elite [[Battleship Re-Class]].
  −
* Targets will be picked at random but will prioritise surface ships.
  −
* Opening torpedoes can be launched even at moderate or heavy damage; which would disable closing torpedoes.
  −
 
  −
==Shelling==
  −
This phase is where the majority of combat takes place. Surviving ships in both fleets will take turns exchanging fire. The order detailed here only applies to '''single fleet''' engagements. For shelling order in combined fleet engagements, please see [[Combined Fleet]].
  −
 
  −
===Engagement Form===
  −
[[File:Engagement_Example.png|thumb|right|Red T Engagement is declared]]
  −
Before the shelling phase begins, the game will roll for one of the following 4 engagements.

===Shelling===
  −
Following the engagement display, ships will begin the shelling phase. This phase is divided into two and involves both surface shelling, aircraft carrier shelling and ASW attacks.
  −
 
  −
The following general rules apply for both shelling phases:
  −
 
  −
* Each fleet will take turns shelling.
  −
** It is possible to skip a turn if the ship that is supposed to shell is sunk.
  −
* Aircraft carriers will not attack if they have no bombers.
  −
* ASW capable ships will be forced to attack submarines.
  −
** Exceptions are [[Suzuya|Suzuya Kai Ni Kou]] and [[Kumano|Kumano Kai Ni Kou]].
  −
* Some ships are capable of performing special attacks during shelling.  Please see [[Artillery Spotting]], [[Carrier Cut-In Attack]] and [[Damage Calculations#Touch Special Attack|Touch Special Attack]].
  −
 
  −
====1st Shelling Phase====
  −
In this phase, both fleets will take turns shelling with the order based off the ship's range. It is possible to modify their range with equipment.
  −
 
  −
* The order is Very Long → Long → Medium → Short → Very Short.
  −
** Ships with the same range will have their turn chosen randomly.
  −
** Only Abyssal ships have Very Short range.
  −
 
  −
====2nd Shelling Phase====
  −
If there is a battleship present in the battle, there will be a 2nd shelling phase. The battleship does not have to be alive for the 2nd shelling phase to trigger. The order is based off fleet position with the 1st ship going 1st.
  −
 
  −
* Ships that are sunk or unable to participate at all in shelling will have their turn passed on to the next eligible ship.
  −
* Ships normally able to participate in shelling but rendered unable will be counted but do nothing on their turn.
  −
 
  −
==Closing Attacks==
  −
In this phase, any ship with a torpedo stat will fire a closing torpedo. Any ship with a base torpedo stat of 0 will not participate.
  −
 
  −
* It will target surface ships at random.
  −
* It will not trigger if there are no targets available.
  −
* Ships at moderate or heavy damage will not participate in this phase.
  −
* Accuracy, damage and evasion are affected by formation and engagement.
  −
 
  −
==Night Battle==
  −
[[File:Night_Attack_Example.png|thumb|right|Uranami using a cut-in-Attack during Nightbattle]]
  −
Following the end of day, you will have a choice to participate in night battle. For more details, please see [[Night Battle]] and [[Damage Calculations#Night Battle|Damage Calculations]]
  −
 
  −
* Firing order is based off position in the fleet.
  −
** Turns can be skipped if a ship is sunk or disabled before they can take their turn.
  −
* Heavily damaged ships are unable to participate.
  −
* It is unaffected by engagement.
  −
* Certain equipment setups will allow you to perform special double attacks or cut-ins.

==MVP==
** Perfect S (Total Victory) ranks count as a regular S-rank. It has no extra bonuses.
+
At the end of combat, one ship is picked as the MVP. She gains bonuses to exp and morale. For more details, please see ''Experience and Rank'' and ''Morale and Fatigue''.

=MVP=
+
The way MVP is determined is:
At the end of combat, one ship is picked as the MVP. She gains bonuses to exp and morale. For more details, please see [[Experience and Rank]] and [[Morale and Fatigue]].
+
* The ship who deals the highest total damage (sum of all attacks during the combat) is awarded MVP. This damage is not weighted.
 +
* If multiple ships are tied for damage, the MVP goes to the topmost ship in the fleet order.
 +
** As such, if no damage is dealt to the enemy, the flagship automatically receives MVP.
 +
* Battles ending in an E-Rank have no MVP.
 +
* In a Combined Fleet, each fleet has their own, independent MVP.
   −
The following is how the MVP is determined:
     −
* The ship which deals the highest total damage is awarded MVP.
  −
** The damage is not weighted. I.e. 300 damage to a battleship counts the same as 300 damage to a destroyer.
  −
** Even though you cannot reduce enemy below 1 in PvP, overkill damage is counted even though it isn't displayed.
  −
* If multiple ships are tied for damage, the way MVP is determined is unknown.
  −
* In the event where no damage is dealt to the enemy, the flagship automatically becomes MVP.
  −
** It usually happens in air raid and RADAR ambush nodes.
  −
* In the event of an E-rank, MVP is not awarded to anyone.
  −
* In a Combined Fleet, MVP is determined separately for the main and escort fleets.
