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 Nodes for more details.
Using a Combined Fleet will also affect the phases, especially during the shelling.

The combat phases are made out of:

☀ Day Battle			Night Battle
Detection	Aerial Combat	Surface Combat	Night Battle
Detection	LBAS's Jet Assault Fleet's Jet Assault Land-Based Aerial Support Stage 1 - Battle for Air Superiority Stage 2 - Fleet Anti-Air Defense Stage 3 - Airstrike	Engagement Support Expedition Battle Openings Shelling Phase Second Shelling Phase Closing Torpedo Salvo	Friendly Fleet (event only) Support Expedition* Night Contact and Spotting Night Shelling Phase

Formation Selection

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.

Sunk ships and ships evacuated with a Command Facility

are not counted.
Diamond Formation requires 5 or more ships present in the fleet to be selected.
Enemy fleets do not have these restrictions. Enemy fleets in Diamond formation with fewer than 4 ships lack formation graphics on the battle screen.

Combined Fleets have special formations that differ from the standard single fleet ones.

Notes

Exact values were datamined from KanColle Kai for the Vita. Testing on the browser version has corroborated these results.
- Values for Vanguard and the new Echelon are vague as they weren't introduced for KanColle Kai.

Flagship Protection

Flagship Protection is when a non-flagship protects the flagship from being targeted by receiving the attack instead. When activated, a "curved shield" animation plays in front of the flagship's banner.

In Combined Fleets, the escort flagship does not receive flagship protection in day battles.
See Flagship Protection for more dedails.

Vanguard Formation

Vanguard is only available during Events, and is usable on any map during this time.

The modifiers on Vanguard Formation refer respectively to the "upper half" and "bottom half" of the fleet.
- For a fleet with 6 or 7 ships, the top row applies to ships 1 to 3, and the bottom row applies to the remaining ships.
- For a fleet with 4 or 5 ships, the top row applies to ships 1 and 2 and the bottom row applies to the remaining ships.
Damage and accuracy of Support Fleets are affected by the top row multipliers, meaning the 50% damage modifier is applied.

Vanguard gives an accuracy penalty to the opposite fleet. See here for more details.

The bottom half ships have an increased chance to be targeted.

The targeting is determined as follows:
- 1. Target a ship from the fleet.
- 2. If the selected ship is an upper half ship, target a ship from the fleet again.^[1]
Target rate based on the above procedure (without other factor):

Target Rate
Fleet position	Number of ships
Fleet position	4	5	6	7
1	12,50%	8,00%	8,33%	6,13%
2	12,50%	8,00%	8,33%	6,13%
3	37,50%	28,00%	8,33%	6,13%
4	37,50%	28,00%	25,00%	20,40%
5		28,00%	25,00%	20,40%
6			25,00%	20,40%
7				20,40%

Choosing a Formation

Formation Selection Screen

When selecting a formation, its modifiers will be applied to the entirety of the next battle node whenever applicable. Picking another formation will discard any previous formation bonuses and penalties and use the new modifiers instead. Each formation has a general use-case archetype based on its modifiers.

Line Ahead: All-out surface combat formation.
Double Line: All-around, high accuracy formation.
Diamond: Anti-Air formation.
Echelon: Mixed surface-ASW combat formation.
Line Abreast: ASW formation.
Vanguard: Defensive/evasive & anti DD/PT Imp formation (event only).
Combined Fleet has other formations.

Other mechanics available on this menu:

This UI can be hidden by clicking once or twice on the flagship, to see the map.
- The Enemy composition preview once hidden.
The smoke screen button if a Smoke Generator is equiped in the fleet.

Victory Conditions

A damage gauge that is displayed at the post-combat screen for each fleet, using the following calculation:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Damage%} = \dfrac{\text{Fleet HP lost}}{\text{Fleet HP}} }[/math]

The following conditions must be met to attain each rank:

Victory State	Rank	Common name	Conditions
Victory	Total Victory: S (完全勝利S)	Perfect S	Sink all enemy ships, while taking no damage in return. In Short Battle Nodes, take 0 damage.
	Victory: S (勝利S)	S rank	Sink all enemy ships. In Short Battle Nodes, take less than 5% damage.
	Victory: A (勝利A)	A rank	Sink 2/3 of the enemy ships. In Short Battle Nodes, take between 5% and 10% damage.
	Tactical Victory: B (戦術的勝利B)	B rank	Sink the enemy flagship and have fewer ships sunk than the enemy. If the enemy flagship survives and the Damage % gauge is at least 2.5x less than the enemy's. In Short Battle Nodes, take between 10% and 20% damage. If any of the ships sink, this is the maximum rank obtainable.
Defeat	Tactical Defeat: C (戦術的敗北C)	C Rank	The enemy flagship survives and the Damage % gauge is between 0.5x and 2.5x less than the enemy's. Also applies when sinking any ship during the battle. If the enemy flagship is sunk but the enemy has fewer sunken ships, as well as having the Damage % gauge between 0.5x and 2.5x less than the enemy's. In Short Battle Nodes, take between 50% and 20% damage.
	Defeat: D (敗北D)	D rank	If the enemy flagship survives and the Damage % gauge is less than 0.5x of the enemy's. If the Damage % dealt is 0.05% (essentially 0). If both fleets deal no damage to each other. This applies to submarine vs submarine battles and air battle nodes. Ships are sunk but not enough to meet the conditions for E. In Short Battle Nodes, take heavy damage.
	Defeat: E (敗北E)	E rank	The enemy flagship survives and the number of sunk ships in the fleet meets the minimum kill requirements. Not meeting the requirements for a D Rank.

Notes:

B-ranks are the minimum victory requirements for:
- Obtaining drops.
- Clearing a map without a boss gauge.
Drops (both rate and pool) scale based on rank obtained. Some drops might be exclusive to higher ranks.
Perfect S (Total Victory) ranks count as a regular S-Rank.
- Perfect S is fulfilled if all ships' final HPs on battle ended is greater than or equal to initial HPs on battle started.
- So it's possible to obtain a perfect S if the only damaged ship has used a Repair Goddess in battle, and her final HP is still greater than or equal to her initial.

MVP

At the end of combat, one girl is picked as the MVP. She gains exp and morale bonuses. For more details, please see Experience and Rank and Morale and Fatigue.

The way MVP is determined is:

The girl who deals the highest total damage (sum of all attacks during the combat) is awarded MVP. This damage is not weighted.
If multiple girls are tied for damage, the MVP goes to the topmost girl in the fleet order.
If the ship achieving the most damage would be sunk in the battle, MVP is rewarded to the next highest damage dealer instead.
- As such, if no damage is dealt to the enemy, the flagship automatically receives MVP.
Battles ending in an E-Rank have no MVP.
In a Combined Fleet, each fleet has its own independent MVP.

-'''Crossing the T'''
-The course of the player's fleet and the enemy fleet are perpendicular to each other (that's 90 degrees, which results in a T figure).  A fleet is in disadvantage if it is coming from「｜」direction, and is in advantage it is is coming from「―」direction.
+===Flagship Protection===
+'''Flagship Protection''' is when a non-flagship protects the flagship from being targeted by receiving the attack instead. When activated, a "curved shield" animation plays in front of the flagship's banner.
+* In [[Combined Fleet]]s, the escort flagship does not receive flagship protection in day battles.
+* ''See [[Flagship Protection]] for more dedails.
-(Historically, the point of this was for the「―」fleet to bring as many guns to bear on the enemy while limiting the firepower of the enemy that can only use guns mounted forward.)
+===Vanguard Formation===
+Vanguard is only available during [[Event]]s, and is usable on '''any map''' during this time.
+* The modifiers on Vanguard Formation refer respectively to the '''"upper half"''' and '''"bottom half"''' of the fleet.
+** For a fleet with 6 or 7 ships, the top row applies to ships 1 to 3, and the bottom row applies to the remaining ships.
+** For a fleet with 4 or 5 ships, the top row applies to ships 1 and 2 and the bottom row applies to the remaining ships.
+* '''Damage and accuracy of [[Support Fleet]]s are affected by the top row multipliers, meaning the 50% damage modifier is applied.'''
-{| border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="article-table article-table-selected" style="width: 300px;"
+Vanguard gives an accuracy penalty to the opposite fleet. See ''[[Accuracy, Evasion and Criticals#Vanguard Formation|here]]'' for more details.

-===Night Combat===
+The '''bottom half''' ships have an increased chance to be targeted.
-[[File:3.png|thumb|An example of a cut-in]]
+* The targeting is determined as follows:
-*Night battle damage depends on both the Firepower and Torpedo stats for attack power. Consequently, DDs, CLs, CLTs and CAs have drastically increased strength at night.
+**1. Target a ship from the fleet.
-*Any vessel at night must not have taken more than moderate (orange) damage before attacking in order to participate in night battle.
+**2. If the selected ship is an upper half ship, target a ship from the fleet again.<ref>https://twitter.com/Xe_UCH/status/974571652229955584</ref>
-*Main Gun = {{Template:RedGunMedium}}Red guns or 10cm High-angle Gun
+* Target rate based on the above procedure (without other factor):
-*Secondary (Sub) Gun = {{Template:YellowGun}}Yellow guns / 12.7cm High-angle Gun / 8cm High-angle Gun
-*Auxiliary equipment (e.g radar, turbine, special ammunition, pure AA equipment(green), and mini-sub) will not affect the combination.

-=====Double Attack=====
+=Victory Conditions=
-Two consecutive attacks at 120%. Almost always procs, compared to cut-ins which proc only by chance and is affected by the luck stat.
+A damage gauge that is displayed at the post-combat screen for each fleet, using the following calculation:
-===Ship's Health Modifier (Pre-Cap Modifier)===
+<math>\text{Damage%} = \dfrac{\text{Fleet HP lost}}{\text{Fleet HP}}</math>
-{| border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="article-table" style="width: 400px;"

-This modifier does not affect Aerial Combat.
+{|class="wikitable" style="width:75%; margin:auto; text-align:center"
-===Attack Power Cap (Applies After All Pre-Cap Modifiers)===
+!Victory State
-Conditions for the attack power cap to activate: [Basic attack power x Pre-cap modifiers] exceeds '''150 for day''' battle, '''300 for night''' battle, and '''100 for anti-sub''' attacks.<br />This is the attack power cap, and it's represented below by <math>x</math>:
+!Rank
+!Common name
-<math>\text {Attack Power After Caps} = x + \sqrt {\text {Pre Caps Attack Power} - x}</math>
+!Conditions
-What we can draw from this is that during the day, firepower or torpedo stats above 145 have a high probability breaking the cap immediately and thus becoming nerfed.  However, depending on the exact engagement form and fleet formation, this will not always occur.
-===Critical Modifier===

-It should be noted that the '''critical message always appears when damage dealt is greater than or equal to 40,''' regardless of whether the 150% modifier was applied or not.  On the other hand, the critical message will never appear when damage dealt is less than or equal to 14, even if the 150% modifier was applied.

-*In general, two bars of {{Ammo}} will be used in Day Battle for all ships, regardless of whether they attack or not.
-*The Remaining Ammo Modifier affects the opening Aerial Combat Phase.
-*When entering night battle, the Remaining Ammo Modifier on a vessel remains same as the previous day battle.  One bar of {{Ammo}} is used for all ships in Night Battle, regardless of whether they attack or not.
-*Because most battles will consume 2 bars of ammunition each, try to engage the boss before the 5th battle, or else achieving victory becomes unlikely (but not impossible).
-*When attempting to defeat boss nodes, avoid night battles and whirlpools on the way.
-**While early maps' whirpools decrease your resources directly, later maps will decrease either {{Fuel}} or {{Ammo}} bars of your sorted fleet, which can be disadvantageous in long sorties.
-*There exist cases in which ships will consume no ammuntion in battle, but these are rare and their causes are not well documented.  Most battles will consume ammuntion even if none of your ships are able to attack at all.  Please report in the comments below with the exact fleet, equipment setups, map, node, and enemy pattern if you encounter battles where no ammunition is consumed.
-==Victory Conditions==
-;Perfect S
-*All enemy ships sunk and no damage taken.
-;S (Victory)
-*All enemy ships sunk and no allied ships sunk.
-;A (Victory)
-*No friendly ships sunk and required number of enemy ships sunk (see below).
-;B (Tactical Victory)
-*Enemy flagship sunk.
-**Sinking the enemy flagship guarantees at least a B regardless of other conditions.
-*Damage gauge at least twice enemy damage gauge.
-;C (Tactical Defeat)
-*Didn't clear any of the conditions for A or B, but enemy took over a certain amount of damage.
-*Damage gauge higher than enemy gauge, but not reaching twice as much.
-*Friendly ship sunk, damage gauge higher than enemy, but not twice as much.
-*Friendly flagship got heavy damage while doesn't met the conditions for A or B.
-**Even if your damage gauge is bigger then enemy, if you unable to sink their flagship or met the minimum sunk requirement (see below) while your flagship is heavily damaged, you'll be counted as C.
-;D (Defeat)
-*Enemy took less than a certain amount of damage.
-**Both sides taking 0 damage is also D.
-*Damage gauge lower than enemy gauge.
-*Friendly ship sunk, not all enemy ships sunk, and gauge lower than enemy gauge.
-;E (Defeat)
-*Over a certain number of friendly ships sunk. (see below)
-*Friendly ship sunk while not meeting any victory conditions.
-*No damage done to enemy, while taking over a certain amount.
+'''Notes:'''
+* B-ranks are the minimum victory requirements for:
+** Obtaining drops.
+** Clearing a map without a boss gauge.
+* Drops (both rate and pool) scale based on rank obtained. Some drops might be exclusive to higher ranks.
+* Perfect S (Total Victory) ranks count as a regular S-Rank.
+** Perfect S is fulfilled if all ships' final HPs on battle ended is greater than or equal to initial HPs on battle started.
+** So it's possible to obtain a perfect S if the only damaged ship has used a '''[[Repair Goddess]]''' in battle, and her final HP is still greater than or equal to her initial.
-'''Notes'''
+==MVP==
-*The Minimum Sunk Requirement is around 60% of the enemy fleet, thus:
+At the end of combat, one girl is picked as the MVP. She gains exp and morale bonuses. For more details, please see ''[[Experience and Rank]]'' and ''[[Morale and Fatigue]]''.
-** 4 ships out of a fleet of 6
-** 3 ships out of a fleet of 5
-** 2 ships out of a fleet of 4
-** 2 ships out of a fleet of 3
-** 1 ship out of a fleet of 2
-** Heavy damage on the 1st ship for a fleet of 1
-*Victory status affects the chance of getting drops and rare drops on the specified node.
-**B victories tend to have no drops, while Perfect S has the highest chance for rare drops.
-==Additional Explanation/Details==
+The way MVP is determined is:
-{{reflist}}
+* The girl who deals the highest total damage (sum of all attacks during the combat) is awarded MVP. This damage is not weighted.
+* If multiple girls are tied for damage, the MVP goes to the topmost girl in the fleet order.
+* If the ship achieving the most damage would be sunk in the battle, MVP is rewarded to the next highest damage dealer instead.
+** As such, if no damage is dealt to the enemy, the flagship automatically receives MVP.
+* Battles ending in an E-Rank have no MVP.
+* In a Combined Fleet, each fleet has its own independent MVP.
