Expeditions

Unlocking Expeditions

You must complete Quest A4 (Have 6 ships in your fleet) to unlock expedition mode. Each expedition will become available as soon as the previous expedition is successfully completed.

Notes

You must meet the minimum flagship level, fleet size and combination requirement as specified in the conditions section in order to complete the expedition.
If all ships have high morale (i.e. they are sparkling) it is possible to achieve great success, granting you 50% more resources, double experience, and may have a greater chance of receiving item rewards (without great success you may not receive items like instant repair).
- By achieving MVP twice, a ship is almost guaranteed to achieve high morale. The easiest way to do this is to run through stage 1-1 with a single ship. Note that retreating early will lower your ship's morale. The final damage level of your ship generally won't matter, as the morale boost from MVP is far greater than the morale decrease from losing HP.
- High morale usually persists for more than one expedition, depending on the duration of said expedition.
Expeditions will automatically complete if you enter the main screen with less than a minute remaining on the timer.
Always resupply before embarking on an expedition otherwise you will likely fail.

Support Expeditions

Note: With the November event up, odds are you guys have not really touched upon support expeditions. I will explain how this all works.

So you will noticed that you now have support expedition 109,110 or for the more veteran admirals, 33 and 34. How these work is that you send a fleet into an expedition, who will then provide additonal bombardment during the first phase. Now there are two big differences between 109/33 and 110/34:

- 109/33 supports you in general node battles, the amount of battles they help with seems to be random.

- 110/34 however is for support in the BOSS NODE ONLY. This is generally the one you go for.

To start a support expedition, you will need to bring a minimum of two DD's (Destroyers) with the other 4 slots comprised of whatever you like, however the composition will affect what type of bombing you do.

1) Generally BB's: You will do a 'shelling' bombardment. The damage is based on the overall 'Artillery' stat and it is generally the most used of the three bombardments.

2) CV's + CVL's: You will do a 'aerial' bombardment. All of your planes will basically swoop in and basically bomb/torpedo the ever living daylights out of the enemy. This does less damage than the one above, but people have claimed this is more reliable for actual damage.

3) Neither conditions are fufilled: You will do a 'general' bombardment, which can deal hugely sporadic damage (If you ever played Advance Wars 2 or dual strike, think Jugger or Flak). So you can hit for 333 or hit for 3. Arguably the worst of the 3 types.
