{{StarShell}} [[:Category:Star Shells|Star Shells]] are used to trigger a special [[Night Battle]] mechanic when equipped, playing a special animation and applying the following effects:

*'''Attack accuracy''' and '''cut-in rates''' of the fleet are increased.
+
*'''Cut-in rates''' of the enemy fleet are decreased.

The activation rate is 70% on ships with 5 or more HP, 0% otherwise.

*Multiple ships equipped with star shells do not have stacking effects.
