Combat is a major component of the game in Kantai Collection. Combat is accessed through the [[Sortie]] menu by selecting a map to send a fleet. Multiple mechanics weave together to create an intricate combat dynamic. For more detailed explanations on the various combat mechanics, please see the individual pages below. [[Exercises]] also consist of one surface combat.

In each node, combat will consist of at least one, up to several Combat Phases. The number of combat phases depends on the node type, with each node type using a different set of combat phases and order.

*Using a [[Combined Fleet]] will also affect the phases, especially during the shelling.

In no particular order, the combat phases are made out of '''[[Aerial Combat]]''', '''[[Battle Opening]]''', '''[[Day Battle]]''', '''[[Night Battle]]''', '''[[LBAS|Land-based Aerial Support]]''', and '''[[Support Expedition]]'''.

If the fleet currently deployed has 4 or more ships, the player will be prompted to pick a fleet formation before every battle. Fleets with 3 or less ships will not have a fleet formation prompt and will default to '''Line Ahead'''.

−
* Echelon modifiers were buffed on the [[Game_Updates/2019/Feburary_27th|2019-02-27 update]]. Split cells contain '''new''' values '''above''' and '''old''' values '''below'''. All '''new''' values are confirmed for Single vs Single fleet battles. However, Single fleets in Echelon fighting Combined fleets (either the player's in 6v12, or the enemy's in 12v6) are confirmed to use the '''old''' shelling damage value of 60%.<ref>https://github.com/Tibowl/KCBugTracker/issues/24#issuecomment-872108225</ref> It is unknown if they use new values or old values for other calculations.
  −
** If a player's combined fleet selects Echelon on a Night Battle Node, it also uses the '''old''' shelling damage value of 60%. This can be observed through the damage of Support Shelling, which uses the shelling modifier of the formation.
