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.

=Combat Phases=
On each node, combat will consist of 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.
*''See [[Node]]s for more details.
*Using a [[Combined Fleet]] will also affect the phases, especially during the shelling.
The combat phases are made out of:
