Nelson-class Special Attack

Nelson and Rodney are able to perform a special attack:

  • A Nelson-class must be the flagship.
    • Secretary for combined fleets.
    • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
  • The 3rd and 5th ships must not be any CV/CVB/CVL/SS/SSV.
    • They can be heavily damaged (大破).
  • There must be 6 or more surface ships in the fleet.
    • There must be no submarine in 6-ship fleets. In 7-ship fleets, only 1 submarine is allowed.
    • There must be no surface ship in the fleet sunk or evacuated via   FCF 
       
      during a sortie, making the remaining total < 6. Ships in the escort fleet are not counted.

If triggered:

  • The flagship will do a 1st attack,
  • The 3rd ship will do a 2nd attack,
  • The 5th ship will do a 3rd attack,
  • Each attack targets a ship at random,
  • If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

  • The modifiers are post-cap on day battle, and pre-cap on night battle.
  • There is an additional small   Accuracy bonus of 1.05 [2].
  • Even if the other two ships can attack submarines, they will never target them during the touch.

  • It does not cost any extra resources if triggered.

  • Trigger rate is affected by the Level and luck   stat of the participating ships.[1]
    • If all three ships are lv.99 the trigger rate is around 60%~65%.
  • Can be triggered even if artillery spotting fails to activate.
  • Can only be activated once per sortie.
  • Has a chance to trigger every time the flagship takes a turn at shelling.
    • In single fleet, if it fails to trigger in day battle, there is a chance to trigger it in the follow-up night battle.
