==Combat Stages==
+
{{CombatPortal}}
−
For most combat engagements, the battle will begin in day combat and follow the following set of stages. Several stages will not occur unless certain conditions are met. For Event maps, a [[Combined Fleet]] mechanic has been implemented which follows a modified combat order.
+
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:

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 [[Evacuation|evacuated]] with a {{EquipmentLink|Fleet Command Facility|Striking Force Fleet Command Facility|Elite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility|text=Command Facility|link=Evacuation}} 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 [[Combined Formation|formations]] that differ from the standard single fleet ones.

−
*The percentage of planes shot down applies for both sides' respective outcomes, and is calculated per slot.
 
−
**For example, securing Air Superiority means allied planes shoot down up to 80% of enemy planes, and the enemy under Air Incapability will shoot down up to 40%.

−
*If the enemy fleet launches no fighters and any planes are launched from either side, the result defaults to Air Supremacy. If both sides launch no planes, then the rest of the battle is treated the same as if Air Parity was achieved.

−
Certain equipment combinations will provide a chance for an Anti-Air Cut-In (AACI) during the aerial combat. When activated, the cut-in CG (shown on the right) would appear before engaging the enemy fighters, but does not appear to affect the resulting air control state (AS+, AS, Air Parity or Denial). Although there's currently no conclusion on how it's applied onto the [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Fleet_Anti-air_Defense Fleet Anti-air Defense formula], a general consensus suggests the effectiveness scales with the AA stat ({{AA}}) of the ship triggering it.

* Provide an AoE blast on all the incoming enemy '''bombers''', from the ship who is triggering it.'' ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Reikyu/A_brief_look_at_AA_defense_and_AA_cut-in_performance source 1], [http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-41.html 2])''
 
−
'''Trigger chance''':
 
−
* AA stat ({{AA}}) of the ship performing the cut-in (equipment bonuses included) affects trigger rate.  The correlation seems to be about +0.4% trigger rate for every point of AA.  ''([http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-43.html source 1], [http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-41.html 2])''
 
−
* Luck stat does not affect the trigger rate significantly. ''([http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-40.html source])''
 
−
* Air radar on CA does not increase the trigger chance on a large scale.'' ([http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-41.html source], require further verification)''
 
−
** It's currently unknown what (if any) innate trigger rate differences there are between other equipment setups.
 
−
With an AA Cut-In from a ship with high AA stat ({{AA}}), it is possible to '''obliterate all incoming bombers''' before they inflict any damage, and even prevent opposing carriers from shelling since they have 0 bombers left.''' In PVP Exercises, opposing fleets can do AA Cut-Ins, but the animation is not shown.'''
 
−
 
 
−
There are [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#comm-164478 reports] that enemy ships in map [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/World_6:_%E4%B8%AD%E9%83%A8%E6%B5%B7%E5%9F%9F#6-2 6-2] ''might'' be capable of doing AACI. Other than that, there is currently no enemy ship capable to blast all your bombers with AA weapons.
 
−
 
 
−
===Fleet Anti-air Defense===
 
−
Each enemy bomber slot is assigned at random to a defending ship. Those ships then, for each assigned enemy slot, have an approximately 50% chance to shoot down enemy planes. The number of planes shot down is given by the equations below:
 
−
 
 
−
<center>
 
−
<math>\text{Shot Down} = \text{Floor((Ship AA } + \text{Floor(Fleet Anti-air} \times \text{Formation Modifier))} \times 0.2125\text{)}</math> <math>\text{Fleet Anti-air} = \text{Floor(} \sum^\text{All slots}\text{Equipment AA Bonus} \times \text{Equipment Modifier)}</math>
 
−
</center>
 
−
The "Fleet Anti-Air" bonus is the sum of every equipment slot of every ship in the fleet (including the defending ship).

==Opening Stages==
 
−
The Opening Stages of combat proceed in order with the Supporting Expedition effect, the Opening Torpedo salvo, then the display of the engagement form
 
−
*In [[World 5]] and Event Maps, the Sortie fleet can receive a salvo of Support fire from fleets deployed on [[Expedition#Support_Expeditions|Support Expeditions]]. The type of supporting fire depends on the composition of the expedition fleet.
 
−
*The Opening Torpedo Salvo is fired by Submarines over level 10, ships with the {{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}[[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] ([[:Category:Torpedo Cruisers|CLTs]], [[:Category:Seaplane Tenders|AVs]], [[::Category:Submarines|SS]]) equipped, and the Enemy [[Battleship Re-Class]].
 
−
**Torpedoes are fired from all ships simultaneously, and accuracy is affected by the selected Formation type.
 
−
*The Opening stages finish with the display of the Engagement form, the orientation of the two fleets.

*Please note that all engagement forms '''affect both sides equally''', including crossing the T (<span style="color:green">Advantage</span> or <span style="color:red">Disadvantage</span>).
 
−
* Night battle and aerial combat are not affected by engagement forms. Torpedo salvos ''are'' affected by engagement forms.
 
−
*Equipping a {{Template:YellowPlane}}[[Saiun]] effectively makes what would have been Crossing the T (Disadvantage) become Head-on Engagement.
 
−
*It is speculated that the Engagement form also impacts accuracy.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==Day Combat==
 
−
*Day Combat consists of up to 3 phases: 1st Shelling, 2nd Shelling, Closing Torpedo
 
−
*During the first shelling stage, the order of fire is determined by the ship's maximum range.
 
−
**Ships are arranged in order from Very Long → Long → Medium → Short → Very Short range.
 
−
**The shelling order alternates from allied ships to enemy ships if able. If two ships on the same side have the same range, the ship that attacks first from between them is chosen randomly.
 
−
*The second shelling phase moves from the top to the bottom of the combat line.
 
−
**Ships unable to attack at all in the shelling phase (''i.e.'' submarines) will be skipped, but those normally able to attack but rendered unable to (''e.g.'' damaged carriers) will still take actionless turns.
 
−
*CVLs and CVs must be in good or lightly damaged condition in order to participate in shelling phases, with the exception of Armored Aircraft Carriers (''e.g.'' [[Taihou]]) who can still attack while moderately damaged.
 
−
* The Closing Torpedo salvo is fired by all SS(V), DD, CL(T), CA(V), AV, [[Bismarck|Bismarck drei]], and the enemy [[Battleship Re-Class]].
 
−
** Torpedoes are fired from all ships simultaneously, and accuracy is affected by the selected Formation type.
 
−
** Ships must not be moderately or heavily damaged to participate.
 
−
 
 
−
==Night Combat==
 
−
*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.
 
−
*Any vessel at night must not have taken more than moderate (orange) damage before attacking in order to participate in night battle.
 
−
*Certain combinations of weapon equipment ([[List of Main Guns by stats|Main Guns]], [[List of Secondary Guns by stats|Secondary Guns]], [[List of Torpedoes by stats|Torpedoes]]) will cause Cut-In or Double Attacks at night, greatly increasing accuracy and/or firepower
 
−
**Auxiliary equipment (e.g [[List of Radars by stats|RADAR]], [[List of Anti-Submarine Equipment by stats|SONAR]], [[List of Anti-Submarine Equipment by stats|Depth Charges]], Searchlights, Turbines, Special ammunition, [[List of Anti-Air Guns by stats|Pure AA Equipment]], Torpedo Bulges, and [[Type A Ko-hyoteki|Midget-subs]]) will not affect the combination.
 
−
*If night combat nodes are anticipated, it can be very helpful to utilize specialized night battle equipment such as [[Star Shell]]s and [[Searchlight]]. [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)]] is also an option.
 
−
* Evasion of submarines are greatly increased in regular Night Battles, so they cannot take more than scratch damage. In battles starting at night and [[Combined Fleet]] sorties, submarines do not get the Evasion boost, so they will take damage as normal.
 
−
*Formation damage modifiers and Engagement Form damage modifiers do not apply in Night Battle (i.e. they are always 100%).
 
−
**As an exception, in nodes that begin with Night Battle and in [[Combined Fleet]] Night Battle, Formation and Engagement Form anti-sub damage modifiers apply.
 
−
***The Engagement Form is not explicitly shown in Night Battle nodes.

==== Night Special Attack Modifier ====
 
−
[[File:night_cut_in.png|thumb|An example of a cut-in]]
 
−
[http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Night_Battle_Special_Attacks Certain Equipment setups] have a chance to trigger special attacks at night, giving boost to both attack power and accuracy. This stage is usually the most rewarding / dangerous because both sides have drastically increased attack power.
 
−
 
−
The ship must be able to participate in the night battle in order to trigger the special attacks.
 
−
 
−
 
−
 
−
===<u>Attack Power Cap</u>===
 
−
Applies after the pre-cap modifiers. This is a '''soft limit''' on your effective attack power.
 
−
 
−
<u>Condition</u>: If your pre-cap attack power exceeds:
 
−
* '''150 '''for Day Battle
 
−
* '''300 '''for Night Battle
 
−
* '''100 '''for Anti-sub attacks
 
−
The Attack Power Cap will be activated, nerfing the effectiveness of your pre-cap attack power. The calculation is:
 
−
 
−
<math>\text {Attack Power After Caps} = x + \sqrt {\text {Pre Caps Attack Power} - x}</math>, Where x represents the attack power cap.
 
−
 
−
Daytime Attack Cap (150) often makes it important to utilize [[Combat#Artillery_Spotting|Artillery Spotting]] since they boost your attack power '''after the cap''', [[Combat#Night Combat|Night Combat]] can be very dangerous and/or rewarding due to having a very high cap (300) and the inclusion of torpedo to firepower for the basic attack power calculation.
 
−
 
−
 
−
 
−
===<u>Post-Cap Modifiers</u>===
 
−
In damage calculation, Post-cap modifiers apply''''' after the cap''''', but '''''before enemy armor reduction'''''. Thus they are very effective approach to boost your damage output (esp. against heavy armor enemies).
 
−
 
−
Currently, the post-cap modifiers are from:
 
−
* [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Artillery_Spotting Artillery Spotting] (aka. Day time special attacks)
 
−
* [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Critical_Modifier Critical Damage]
 
−
* [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Contact Contact] (Opening air strike)
 
−
 
−
 
−
 
−
==== Artillery Spotting ====
 
−
[http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Day_Battle_Special_Attacks_.28Artillery_Spotting.29 Certain equipment setups] provide a chance to trigger special attacks during day battle, giving boost to both attack power and accuracy. The damage modifiers are applied after the cap (150), thus very effective against heavy armor targets. Note that the ship requires at least 1 seaplane on board to perform Artillery Spotting.
 
−
 
−
 
−
 
−
====Critical Modifier====
 
−
Most forms of attack (Torpedo, Shelling, Anti-Submarine, Preemptive Bombing) have a chance to crit the target. The damage modifier applies after the cap.

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.
 
−
 
−
 
−
 
−
====Contact====
 
−
*Contact takes place during the Aerial Combat phase. It increases bombing damage for all allied bombers.
 
−
*When successful, an image of the squadron performing contact is shown in the opposing fleet's formation indicator, with the text "触接中".
 
−
*Trigger conditions:
 
−
**More air control than Air Denial
 
−
**At least one carrier scout plane, seaplane scout, or torpedo bomber equipped.
 
−
***Seaplane bombers, [[Type 3 Spotter/Liaison (ASW)|Type 3 Spotter]], and [[Ka-type_Observation_Autogyro|Ka-type Autogyros]] cannot perform contact.
 
−

−
*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.
 
−
**Whirlpools will decrease either {{Fuel}} or {{Ammo}} bars of your sorted fleet, which can be disadvantageous in long sorties.  Equipping one or more ships with RADAR can help reduce losses taken from these.

*Submarine-only nodes on limited-time event maps do not consume ammo in Day or Night Battle.

===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.

*[[File:KanColle-140425-16133343.png|thumb|Cut-in Type Mixed Attack Observed Fire with 2 Main & Type 91 AP Shell.]]These are the basic setups used in the game. You don't need to exactly follow the placement (1st slot = main, 3rd slot = seaplane, etc) as long as those equipment are placed on the same ship.
 
−
* Any other setup variation will NOT change the attack mode or damage modifier. Feel free to add another auxiliary equipment when possible.
 
−
*  Mixed Attacks provide chances for both day battle DA and CI.
 
−
* When either CI or DA is not triggered by chance, the ship will just do a normal single attack, dealing 100% damage.
 
−
*  Trigger chances are estimated under the following condition: AS+, FLoS = 300, companion ship..
 
−
* The enemy is capable of doing Artillery Spotting on your fleet, both DA & CI.
 
−
* For more info on the Day Special Attack mechanics, you may visit page [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Artillery_Spotting Artillery Spotting].
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
'''Trigger Chance of Artillery Spotting'''
 
−
* The flagship has ~15% higher chance in triggering Artillery Spotting.
 
−
* Losing Air Supremacy (AS+) to Air Superiority (AS) will lower the trigger chances by ~12%. Higher penalty for mixed attack.
 
−
* Higher fleet total LoS (line of sight) will slightly increase the chances, around 5% ~ 10% per 100 additional FLoS. Notice that FLoS equals to the sum of LoS stats from all the ships in your fleet, and no special formula is used to calculate them.
 
−
*  Regular cut-in & radar CI setups are the most sensitive on the change of FLoS, while the AP cut-in & hybrid setups are the least sensitive.
 
−
* Equipment set up will affect the chances (see the table above)
 
−
* Note that in pvp, it is possible to gain AS+ without any fighter power while your opponent only uses bombers (i.e. zero fighter power). In this case your fleet may use Artillery Spotting.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Night Battle Special Attacks===
 
−
Night battle special attacks allow your ship to double attack (DA) and cut-in (CI) at night. These special attacks are less demanding on the conditions, but more reliable and powerful than artillery spotting in the day.
 
−
 
 
−

−
* Not in heavily damaged (大破) state

'''Night Double Attack Chance'''
 
−

Has a very high (~99%) and relatively consistent activation chance ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Homuhomu123/How_Formation_Affects_Night_Battle_Performances_%28by_Kuubowokyuu%29#Ii_-_DA_Chance_of_Your_Fleet_.26_CI_Chance_of_the_Enemies source]). Activation rate decreases with damage states (source required), but is not dependent on luck. This typically results in more consistent and higher average damage than cut-in setup for ships with normal luck values.

===Choosing a Formation===
 +
[[File:Formation_Selection_Screen.png|thumb|right|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.
  
−
'''Anti-Sub Warfare'''
+
* '''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.
  
−
Any enemy submarines will force Destroyers and Light Cruisers to target them. Cut-In and Double Attacks are ignored. In normal Night Battles, ASW damage is scratch damage only. In battles starting at night, Formation Modifiers apply.

=== Common Setups ===
 
−
* Common ship equipment setups and their purpose
 
−
* '''Destroyers'''
 
−
** As destroyers do not have the ability to field seaplanes, have low firepower but high torpedo stats, and few equipment slots, their use in fleets is generally to meet composition requirements. Their common setups focus on Anti-Sub Warfare, Night Torpedo, or Fleet Anti-Air Support
 
−
** A Mixture of [[List of Anti-Submarine Equipment by stats|SONAR and Depth Charges]] ({{Template:Sonar}}{{Template:DepthCharge}}) make your destroyers effective, accurate sub killers when enemy fleets contain Submarines.
 
−
** On destroyers with high luck ([[Ayanami]], [[Shigure]], [[Yukikaze]]), 2 or 3 pieces of [[List of Torpedoes by stats|Torpedo Equipment]] ({{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}) will often trigger a potent Torpedo Cut-In attack in Night Battle.
 
−
** When facing maps with many enemy fleets with carriers, destroyers can provide a considerable amount of fleet AA support using [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats#Light_Guns high-angle mounts] {{Template:GreenGunDP}} and [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Anti-Air_Cut-In anti-air cut-in] setups to reduce incoming bomber damage.
 
−
* '''Light Cruisers'''
 
−
** Light Cruisers gain access to the Medium size Main guns to buff their firepower as well as seaplanes (with a few exceptions with regards to seaplanes, those being CLTs, Isuzu Kai Ni, Yuubari and both of the Tenryuu class), making Artillery Spotting setups feasible and effective against moderately armored enemy vessels.
 
−
** For light cruisers facing enemy fleets, a setup with 2 Main guns and a Seaplane ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) offers a potent double attack in both daytime Artillery Spotting and Night Battle.
 
−
** For fleets without air power, one [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats#Medium_Guns medium main gun] and two [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/15.5cm_Triple_Gun_Mount_(Secondary) 15.5cm Triple Gun Mounts] ({{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:YellowGun}}{{Template:YellowGun}}) will maximize firepower while maintaining double attacks in Night Battle
 
−
** The special class of the Torpedo Cruisers deserves some mention here: their specialty lies in their torpedoes and should almost always be equipped with a {{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}[[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] (to enable opening torpedo strikes). To diversify their damage output, typically two medium main guns and/or [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/15.5cm_Triple_Gun_Mount_(Secondary) 15.5cm Triple Gun Mounts] are equipped to increase shelling damage and enable Night Battle Double Attacks ({{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:YellowGun}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}).
 
−
*** Before a Torpedo Cruiser's final remodel, due to limited slots it's advisable to use [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] and a torpedo ({{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}) to make the most of their preemptive attack.
 
−
* '''Heavy Cruisers'''
 
−
** Heavy Cruisers see the introduction of 4 slot setups after remodeling and all of them feature the ability to launch seaplanes for artillery spotting. While they are still limited to the Medium main guns, their higher firepower and armor can make them solid combatants when Battleships are unavailable or overkill.
 
−
** The go-to setup for most situations will be the 2 main guns, RADAR, seaplane setup ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:Radar}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) which provides day and night double attack potential.
 
−
** Certain Event bosses take additional damage when a ship is equipped with [[Type 3 Shell]]s. As heavy cruisers have access to these, a Heavy Cruiser may find swapping the RADAR for a [[Type 3 Shell]] ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:GreenAmmo}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) to be effective against such targets (see [[Airfield Princess]]).
 
−
** In the case of a battle occurring with Night Battle first, one option is to replace the RADAR and seaplane with two torpedoes {{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}, which will lose the day battle special attacks but give the chance for powerful two-torpedo cut-in attacks.
 
−
* '''Battleships'''
 
−
** Battleships feature a selection of Heavy Main Guns and massive resulting firepower in addition to the potent Armor Piercing shells which can cause brutal critical hits. Setups for battleships are similar to those of heavy cruisers, with one notable addition.
 
−
** The Armor Piercing Shells that battleships have access to allows for the highly effective 2 Main gun, AP Shell, Seaplane setup ({{Template:RedGunHeavy}}{{Template:RedGunHeavy}}{{Template:RedAmmo}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) which has a more effective Artillery Spotting Cut-In, while providing better stats than secondary guns.
 
−
** Note: Official tweets state that overuse of cannons larger than what a BB is meant for will make it "overweight" and incur a "minor" accuracy penalty. (''I.e.'' Too many 46cm or even 41cm cannons on Fast Battleships such as Kongou-class and Bismarck.)
 
−
** As with Heavy Cruisers, the [[Type 3 Shell]] setup ({{Template:RedGunHeavy}}{{Template:RedGunHeavy}}{{Template:GreenAmmo}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) is effective against installation-type/land base enemies.
 
−
* '''Carriers'''
 
−
** Planes. Enough Fighters to achieve Air Superiority or Supremacy, fill out with Torpedo Bombers on larger slots for preemptive bombing damage and/or Dive Bombers on smaller slots for shelling damage.
 
−
** Torpedo Bombers and Dive Bombers are roughly equivalent to each other. While Torpedo Bombers have the advantage in the preemptive aerial bombing, their damage are dependent on number of surviving planes, making air superiority very important for them. In cases where Air Superiority is not feasible, using more Dive Bombers may prove more effective.
 
−
** It is possible to equip [[List of Secondary Guns by stats|Secondary Guns]] like the [[15.5cm Triple Gun Mount (Secondary)|15.5cm Triple Gun Mount]] or the special [[Skilled Carrier-based Aircraft Maintenance Personnel|SCAMP]] to increase the carrier's range and put it higher in the Range Order shelling phase, which can be very useful for prioritizing the CV(L) damage when in a DD heavy fleet.
 
−
** To save bauxite (especially in exercises against other fleets), a combination of two [[15.5cm Triple Gun Mount (Secondary)|15.5cm Triple Gun Mount]] and/or [[Skilled Carrier-based Aircraft Maintenance Personnel|SCAMP]] with a [[Saiun]] and a single bomber in the 4th slot can allow powerful shelling attacks at the cost of opening airstrike potency ({{Template:YellowGun}}{{Template:YellowGun}}{{YellowPlane}}{{RedPlane}}).

'''Notes:'''
−
;Perfect S
+
* B-ranks are the minimum victory requirements for:
−
*All enemy ships sunk and no damage taken.
+
** Obtaining drops.
−
;S (Victory)
+
** Clearing a map without a boss gauge.
−
*All enemy ships sunk and no allied ships sunk.
+
* Drops (both rate and pool) scale based on rank obtained. Some drops might be exclusive to higher ranks.
−
;A (Victory)
+
* Perfect S (Total Victory) ranks count as a regular S-Rank.
−
*Required number of enemy ships sunk (see below) and no allied ships sunk.
+
** Perfect S is fulfilled if all ships' final HPs on battle ended is greater than or equal to initial HPs on battle started.
−
;B (Tactical Victory)
+
** 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.  
−
* Sinking the enemy flagship guarantees at least a B as long as no allied ships are sunk.
 
−
*Enemy flagship sunk, friendly ship sunk and number of friendly ships sunk < number of enemy ships sunk.
 
−
*Damage gauge at least 2.5 times higher enemy damage gauge.
 
−
* This rate is the minimum requirement to clear maps without boss 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 2.5 times as much.
 
−
*Friendly ship sunk, damage gauge higher than enemy, but not 2.5 times as much.
 
−
*Friendly ship sunk, enemy flagship sunk and number of friendly ships sunk lower than number of enemy ships sunk. It is possible to clear maps with boss gauges (eg. 4-4, 5-3, event maps) with a C if the enemy flagship is sunk.
 
−
;D (Defeat)
 
−
*Enemy took less than a certain amount of damage.
 
−
**Both sides taking 0 damage is also D.
 
−
**If your fleet consist only 1 ship and it is reaching Heavy Damage without meeting any winning requirements, it will instantly judged as D as well.
 
−
*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 (Never happens in a fleet of 1).
 
−
==='''Notes'''===
 
−
*The Minimum Sunk Requirement:
 
−
** 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
 
−
*Victory status affects the chance of getting drops and rare drops on the specified node.
 
−
**B rank or above is necessary to obtain drops.
 
−
**A rank or above is typically necessary for obtaining rare drops.
 
−
**S rank has a higher chance of obtaining rare drops than A rank, and is required for some very rare drops.

 +
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]]''.
  
−
{{reflist}}
+
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.

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 Power Night Battle

  1. LBAS's Jet Assault
  2. Fleet's Jet Assault
  3. Land-Based Aerial Support

  6. Stage 3 - Airstrike
  1. Engagement
  2. Support Expedition
  3. Battle Openings
  4. Shelling Phase
  5. Second Shelling Phase
  6. Closing Torpedo Salvo
  1. Friendly Fleet (event only)
  2. Support Expedition*
  3. Night Contact and Spotting
  4. 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 FacilityFleet Command Facility
    Striking Force Fleet Command Facility
    Elite Torpedo Squadron 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.

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.

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
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:

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
Victory: A
(勝利A) 		A rank
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.
