* Able to perform special AACI. Please see [[Aerial_Combat#Anti-Air_Cut-In|Anti-Air Cut-In]] for more details.
 +
* She has a special attack called the '''Nelson Touch''' that targets 3 enemies at random.
 +
** The activation requirements are:
 +
*** Nelson as the flagship of the 1st fleet.
 +
*** Nelson must not be more than <span style="color:gold;">'''lightly damaged (小破)'''</span>.
 +
*** There must be 6 ships in the fleet.
 +
*** There must be no submarines in the fleet.
 +
*** The 3rd and 5th ships must not be a carrier.
 +
*** '''Double line formation''' needs to be selected in a single fleet OR '''Cruising Formation 2''' for a combined fleet.
 +
** If triggered, Nelson, the 3rd ship, and the 5th ship will perform one attack each with a 2x post-cap modifier.
 +
*** If the engagement is <span style="color:red;">Red T</span>, then the post-cap modifier becomes 2.5x.
 +
** It can be triggered even if you fail to activate artillery spotting.
 +
** It can only be activated '''once per sortie'''.
 +
** It has a chance to trigger every time Nelson takes a turn at shelling. If it fails to trigger in day, there is a chance to trigger it in the followup night battle.
 +
** It does not cost any extra resources if triggered.

===Overview===
[[File:Nelson Touch Attack.png|thumb|right| Nelson Touch Attack as the 3 ships commence the attack]]
+

'''Note: The Following ability is currently experimental and is subject for possible changes/removal in due time as stated by [[Kensuke Tanaka]] in his October 2018 Comptiq Interview. All current notes are based on what has been known since it's initial release. '''
+
* Decent HP.

On '''September 15th, 2018''', Nelson was given a new ability known as the '''Nelson Touch''' which is a special attack that can trigger in both single and combine fleets under the following conditions:

* Combined Fleet Conditions:
+
{{clear}}
** '''Nelson''' must be the '''Flagship of the Main Fleet.'''
  −
** The 3rd and 5th ship slots of your fleet composition must '''not''' be occupied by a '''Carrier (CV/CVL/CVB)'''
  −
** The Fleet must enter in battle in a '''Combine Fleet Formation 2 (Double Line Combine Fleet)'''
  −
** There must be a total of '''6 ships in the Main fleet'''
  −
** Does '''not''' have '''submarines (SS/SSV)''' in the main fleet.
  −
 
  −
If these conditions are met a special animation and attack will trigger on Nelson's turn where she will appear on screen and her CG will switch to her Nelson Touch Mode CG as she commences the attack, the ships that occupy the 3rd and 5th slot will join in the attack.
  −
 
  −
Once the sequence is complete, the special attack will commence as Nelson and the other two ships that join in the attack will attack for a total of 3 times randomly attacking 3 ships in the enemy fleet. The damage you do with each attack will go down in order from 1st, 3rd and 5th ship's fire power.
     −
Along with these known conditions, other important factors are also known regarding about the Nelson Touch Mechanic:
+
'''Hidden Fit Bonuses'''
 +
* She has accuracy bonuses and penalties when equipped with certain large guns. Please see [[Gun Fit Bonuses]] for mode details.
   −
* The Equipment Nelson is using doesn't matter
+
===Analysis===
* Airstate doesn't matter - Can trigger with failed detection
+
Priority: '''High'''
* Nelson cannot trigger this ability when she is '''Moderately Damaged'''
  −
* The ability can trigger in either Day or Night Battle
  −
* The Ability can only be used in [[Sortie]]s and cannot be used in [[PVP]]
     −
Current test show that Nelson Touch provides a 2x postcap modifier during day battle, but can be enhanced to 2.5x post cap under the condition of a '''Red T-Cross Disadvantage Confrontation'''
+
: She has great firepower for a battleship but what really makes her stand out is her powerful special ability. Unlike [[Nagato]] and [[Mutsu]], her ability does not take extra ammo when it triggers; but it has a slightly weaker multiplier and requires 3 good ships instead of just 2 to make full use of it. Although she is event-only and hard to get, she'll serve you very well when you do get her. Her AACI has a low fixed shootdown and multiplier which makes it inadvisable to run.
   −
In night Battle, there is no post cap modifier for Nelson Touch, but is still affected by Red-T allowing for damage modifier to be 100% instead of 50% (under normal Red T situations)
+
====Recommended Roles====
 +
* Combat
 +
* Support Expeditions
   −
Do note that this ability will only trigger '''once per sortie''', so plan carefully on when you choose to use the Nelson Touch as you only can use it once until you return to base to conduct another sortie.
+
====Not Recommended Roles====
 +
* Anti-Air
