Gameplay Notes
Special Mechanics
- Able to perform special AACI. Please see Anti-Air Cut-In for more details.
- She has a special attack called the Nelson Touch that targets 3 enemies at random.
- The activation requirements are:
- Nelson as the flagship of the 1st fleet.
- Nelson must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
- There must be 6 ships in the fleet.
- There must be no submarines in the fleet.
- The 3rd and 5th ships must not be a carrier.
- Double line formation needs to be selected in a single fleet OR Cruising Formation 2 for a combined fleet.
- If triggered, Nelson, the 3rd ship, and the 5th ship will perform one attack each with a 2x post-cap modifier.
- If the engagement is Red T, then the post-cap modifier becomes 2.5x.
- It can be triggered even if you fail to activate artillery spotting.
- It can only be activated once per sortie.
- It has a chance to trigger every time Nelson takes a turn at shelling. If it fails to trigger in day, there is a chance to trigger it in the followup night battle.
- It does not cost any extra resources if triggered.
- Trigger rate is believed to be related to:
- The total level of all girls involved in the attack
- Nelson's luck
stat.[1]
- The activation requirements are:
Overview
- Good firepower and armour.
- Decent HP.

Hidden Fit Bonuses
- She has accuracy bonuses and penalties when equipped with certain large guns. Please see Gun Fit Bonuses for mode details.
Analysis
Priority: High
- She has great firepower for a battleship but what really makes her stand out is her powerful special ability. Unlike Nagato and Mutsu, her ability does not take extra ammo when it triggers; but it has a slightly weaker multiplier and requires 3 good ships instead of just 2 to make full use of it. Although she is event-only and hard to get, she'll serve you very well when you do get her. Her AACI has a low fixed shootdown and multiplier which makes it inadvisable to run.

I'm the 1st ship of the Nelson-class battleships, Nelson. That's right, I have a special design where all of my triple gun turrets are arranged at the front of the ship. As someone who was one of the Big 7 and flagship of my Home Fleet, I have an impressive presence. What? The arrangement of my main guns is problematic? Think before you tell British jokes. I'll forgive you just this once. |
