Information

New Ships

It has been reported that multiple ships both large and small will be appearing in this event which the following has been confirmed.

Mechanics

Participation requirements

• Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
• Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
• Must have 20 free equipment slots.

Special Mechanics

1. The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium) or Operation C (丙, Easy).
   • Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
   • An important note to all Admirals intending to clear the event on Hard difficulty - further (new) conditions now apply:
     • When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
       • Switching between any other difficulties will not reset the debuff mechanism.
2. The debuff system of Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be killed to reduce boss armor, returns. The mechanic is featured in the final map, but is believed to lower the armor of the boss escorts instead of the boss. (For more details, consult E-3)
3. Additionally, there is a quest-based debuff that targets the E-3 boss' armor. (As above, see E-3)
4. Operation A (甲, Hard) and Operation B (乙, Medium) will require you to have a minimum of two fleets ready due to fleet locking (see above for details)
