When an [[LBAS]] is available, a small cross with written "AB" will be displayed on the map's land, being the center point of the nodes' combat radius.

−

When ~~selecting~~ the [[~~Formation~~]] on a ~~combat~~ node, it is possible to ~~hide~~ the UI in order to view the map, by clicking anywhere else on the screen.

+

When reaching a combat node, it will be asked to choose a '''"[[Formation]]'''", affecting the following [[Combat]].

+

*The fleet must meet certain criteria to select a formation, and the node must not be an "Ambush Node".

+

When selecting the formation, it is possible to:

+

*Hide the UI in order to view the map, by clicking anywhere else on the screen.

+

** When the map is visible, it is then possible to click on the current node to get a preview of the enemy fleet. this is limited to the surface battle nodes, and will show the first 3 ships of the fleet (of both fleets for enemy combined fleets).

+

*If a {{Smoke}} [[Smoke Generator]] is equipped, a button will show up next to the formations, clicking on it will allow the triggering of smoke screens.

+

**This can only be triggered once per sortie, even so the button is always clickable.

==Routing==

Line 31: Line 38:

**Paths that require a given LoS requirement to be met will show an animation of a Recon plane going back and forth toward the destination node.

*Equipment types and quantity used in the fleet, like [[Surface Radar]]s or [[Drum]]s.

*Equipment types and quantity used in the fleet, like [[Surface Radar]]s, [[Drum Canister]]s, and [[Landing Equipment]].

**The {{IconText|{{Aviation Personnel}}|AGDP}} {{EquipmentLink|Arctic Gear & Deck Personnel}} (AGDP) needs to be equipped on CV(B/L), {{Class|Ise|Kai Ni}}, and [[Akitsu Maru Kai]], to sortie them on "arctic" maps (event only so far).

*The curent '''[[Tag|Fleet tag]]''' on certain events maps.

Line 38: Line 46:

On certain events, an edge may be taken in either sense depending on the current routing. Some edges are marked with an arrow to make the routing clearer.

+

The [[#Map Unlocking / Phase Progression|map's state]] can also affect the routing by updating some branching rules.

![[File:NightToDayNode.png]] Night to Day Battle

|Night to Day Battle nodes invert the usual Battle node format, beginning the battle on Night Battle and then automatically transitioning to Day Battle afterward.

*The applicable '''Support Expedition''' will trigger when the battle starts (during the night), but Day-only phases such as [[LBAS]] and [[Aerial Combat]] will be performed as soon as the Day Battle begins.

−

* As of 03/2023, Night to Day Battles are exclusive to events, with its last appearance on [[Fall 2017 Event]].

In addition, some variations of the above-mentioned nodes may be encountered as:

+

*'''"Installation Node"''', for most nodes having one or more [[Installation]] in it, and were {{Balloon}} '''[[Barrage Balloon]]s''' can be deployed.

+

*'''"Atoll Node"''', for some nodes being located on atolls, and were {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}} spacial attack can be triggered.

![[File:AirBattleNode.png]] Aerial Combat

|Similar to Air Raid nodes, however [[LBAS]] is performed once, followed by full [[Aerial Combat]] phases performed twice back-to-back. It is also possible to do night battle afterward, unlike regular Air nodes.

+

*''Node'' '''Airstrike Support Expedition''' only may appear in these nodes.

*If the fleet has no ships that can attack during Aerial Combat, it will get a ''D rank'' (see [[Combat#Victory_Conditions|1st D rank condition]]), unless entering night combat.

![[File:AmbushNode.png]] Enemy Ambush

−

|Ambush nodes are purely defensive nodes where the fleet is attacked by an enemy fleet without being able to fight back. Specifically for Ambush nodes, '''there is no formation selection prompt prior to the battle''', and formation is set by default to Line Ahead or Cruising Formation 4 ~~(for Combined Fleet)~~.

The strength of Maelstroms can be mitigated by the number of ships independently carrying a ~~RADAR~~. Maelstroms drain either {{Fuel}} or {{Ammo}}, but not both.
