| |
| − | Vanguard Formation is an '''Event Exclusive''' Formation that introduced in the '''[[Fall 2017 Event]]'''. This formation provides position specific benefits (and drawbacks).
| |
| − | | |
| − | In general, the formation drastically decreases the likelihood your flag, second, and third ship are targeted, while increasing the evasion of your other four ships.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As of current, this formation has only been available during events, but can be used in normal maps within the event period.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Regarding the Formation==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The '''Vanguard Formation''' is based on the formation which [[Wikipedia:Shōji_Nishimura|Shouji Nishimura]] used as his fleet entered into the Surigao Strait.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==The Formation in Detail==
| |
| − | The Vanguard Formation has a series of benefits and drawbacks specific to several major factors depending on the type and position of the ship.
| |
| − | | |
| − | At present, the following details are known regarding the Vanguard Formation:

| − | In addition to this, the vanguard formation also affects enemy targeting: protecting the first 3 ships (or less depending on how many ships are in your fleet) while granting the other (now more targeted) ships an evasion increase.

| − | ==Current Conclusions==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The formation appears to be most useful in allowing fleets to better evade attacks; this comes in especially useful in night battle nodes, where there are fewer methods of preventing enemies from attacking, placing an emphasis on being able to survive enemy attacks.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One thing which is reasonable to assume is that shelling [[Expeditions|Support Expedition Fleets]], like with other formations, suffer the offensive penalties of this formation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | One potential weakness of the Vanguard Formation is that the '''fourth''' ship is at the greatest risk as she receives neither the favorable targeting of ships 1-3 nor evasion bonuses as great as the fifth to seventh ships do. Care should be taken when this formation is used.
