* '''Effective LoS''', which allows the fleet to reach a specific node (usually a pre-boss or boss node) instead of being diverted to a dead end. Effective LoS is employed in special maps, such as [[Events|event maps]] and extra operations maps ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/World_2:_%E5%8D%97%E8%A5%BF%E8%AB%B8%E5%B3%B6%E6%B5%B7%E5%9F%9F#Stage_Guide_2 2-5], [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/World_3:_%E5%8C%97%E6%96%B9%E6%B5%B7%E5%9F%9F#World_3-5_.E3.80.90Extra_Operation.E3.80.91_.E5.8C.97.E6.96.B9AL.E6.B5.B7.E5.9F.9F_Aleutian_Islands_Campaign 3-5]).

During the Summer 2014 event, there were many player reports where players of similar HQ levels have differing effective LoS requirements, leading to confusion among many players. This hinted to a ''possibility'' that effective LoS scales to level.
