 Kai/Deux
 
 Kai Ni/Juu
  • A Yamato-class Kai Ni/Juu must be flagship.
    • Secretary for combined fleets.
    • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
  • Another "Touch Helper" must be in the 2nd position.
    • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
    • When using Musashi Kai Ni as the helper in the 2nd position with a Nagato-class Kai Ni in the 3rd one being lightly damaged (小破) or better, there is a random chance to trigger the "3-Ship Special Attack" instead.
  • There must be 6 or more surface ships in the fleet.
    • There must be no submarine in 6-ship fleets. In 7-ship fleets, only 1 submarine is allowed.
    • There must be no surface ship in the fleet sunk or evacuated via   FCF 
       
      during a sortie, making the remaining total < 6. Ships in the escort fleet are not counted.
  • In single fleet, Echelon  needs to be selected.
  • In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 4  needs to be selected.
  • The touch can activate even if Yamato Kai Ni Juu is equipped with ASW equipment when facing a fleet mixed with submarines.

If triggered:

  • The flagship will do a 1st & 2nd attack,
  • The Helper will do a 3rd attack,
  • Each attack targets a ship at random,
  • If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

  • The modifiers are post-cap on day battle, and pre-cap on night battle.
  • The equipment bonuses do not stack further than 1 radar and/or 1 AP shell per ship.
    • Only ships equipped with those equipment will get a bonus for their attack(s).

The attack will consume extra ammo from participating ships when triggered. The total ammo consumption will be x1.6 of the original ammo consumption of those ships when the attack is triggered.

The touch:

  • Can be triggered even if artillery spotting fails to activate.
  • Can only be activated once per sortie.
  • Has a chance to trigger every time the flagship takes a turn at shelling.
    • In single fleet, if it fails to trigger in day battle, there is a chance to trigger it in the follow-up night battle.
  • The rate is[1][2][3]:
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Lv}} + 1.25 \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} }[/math] the helper bonus, being:
    • 4 if Yamato is helper,
    • 7 if Musashi is the helper,
    • 0 otherwise.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{B} }[/math] the bonus for equipping   Radars with (  Acc ≥ 8?), being:
    • 10 if 1 ship has a radar,
    • 20 if both ships have a radar,
    • 0 otherwise.
