Special Attacks

"Special Attacks", or "Touch", are special combats mechanics involving specific ships combinations in a fleet, in order to trigger a powerful attack, involving a unique animation and sometimes a unique "Touch CG" for the involved ships.

There are 3 main types of Touch currently in the game:

• The"Big Seven Touches",the"Yamato Touch",the"French Touch",the"Queen Elizabeth-class Touch",some 2/3-battleships, 3-hits attacks.
• The"Kongou Touch",a 2-battleships, 2-hits night attack.
• The"Submarine Touch",a 1-submarine tender & 2/3-submarine, 2/4-hits torpedo attack

In aCombined Fleet,it is possible toboth:

• Trigger a Big Seven or Yamato Touch in the main fleet during day battle,
• Then trigger a Kongou Touch in the escort fleet during night battle.

No special attack can be triggered inPVP.

Big Seven Touch

"Big Seven"refers to the first 7 battleships built to carry the biggest naval guns (> 40 cm) allowed by theWashington Naval Treaty,namely, theNagato-class,Nelson-class,andColorado-class.

Yamato gains two different special attacks on Kai Ni/Juu.

They're distinguished by how many ships participate, there's a2-ship touchand a3-ship touch:

Devs also have stated that the touch helpers will be updated with relevant ship implementation[12].

• So far have been added:
  • Jean Bartfor the 2-ship touch,
  • Maryland+Colorado,Kongou+Haruna,Richelieu+Jean Bart,Nelson+Rodney,andWarspite+Valiantfor the 3-ship touch.

On Kai Ni B/C,Kongou,Hiei,andHarunagain a special attack called"Night Assault":

"Touch Helpers"
Kongou Flagship:	Hiei Flagship:	Haruna Flagship:
Kai Ni/B/C Base/Kai Base/Kai	B/C

• AKongou-class Kai Ni B/Cmust beflagship.
  • Flagshipof the 2nd fleet in combined fleets.
• Another "Touch Helper" must be in the 2nd position.
• Both must not be more thanlightly damaged ( tiểu phá ).
• It must be aNight Battle.

• There must be 5 or more surface ships in the fleet.
  • There must be no more than 1 submarine in 6-ship fleets. In 7-ship fleets, only 2 submarines are allowed.
  • There must be no more than 1 surface ship in the fleet sunk orevacuatedviaFCF
    during a sortie, making the remaining total < 5. Only ships in the escort fleet are counted for combined ones.

• In single fleet,Line AheadorEchelonneed to be selected.
• In a combined fleet,Cruising Formation 2orCruising Formation 4need to be selected.
  • In a combined fleet, it can only be triggered in the Escort fleet.

If triggered:

• The flagship will doa 1st attack,
• The 2nd battleship will doa 2nd attack,
• Each attack targets a ship at random,
• If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

• The modifiers arepre-cap.
• There is also anAccuracy bonus of1.35~1.4[7].

• The attack will consume extra ammo from both participating battleships when triggered. The total ammo consumption will bex1.2of the original ammo consumption of those ships when the attack is triggered, hence:
  • If it is triggered in a night battle in a normal node, it costs 6 % extra ammo.
  • If it is triggered in a night battle node, it costs 2 % extra ammo.

TheNight Assaultcan be:

• Activated in the same battle as another separate special attack.
• Activatedtwice per sortie,during night battle only:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor 3.5 \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Lv}} + 1.1 \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Luck}} + \text{A} + \text{B} - 33 \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]

Submarine Special Attack

Also called the "AS Touch", it is aSpecial Attackinvolving aSubmarine Tenderleading a fleet of at least two submarines.

• The flagship must be aSubmarine Tender(AS) at Lv 30+,
  • She must not be more thanmoderately damaged ( trung phá ).
• The 2nd and 3rd ships must beSubmarines(SS) orAircraft Carrying Submarines(SSV) and notevacuatedviaSFFCF,
  • The 4th ship may optionally be a SS(V), but does not affect the above requirement,
  • At least two SS(V) among the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ships must not be more thanlightly damaged ( tiểu phá ),
  • If all 3 ships are SS(V), the 2nd and 4th ones will attack; if one of the two ismoderately damaged ( trung phá ),the 3rd one will attack instead.
• The fleet must be a single fleet or aStriking Force Fleet,
• The formation needs to be eitherEchelonorLine Abreast,
• At least oneSubmarine Supply Materialmust be available in the inventory.

• Two SS(V) will launch torpedo strikes.
• The attack power of each strike is postcapped and unaffected by formation, engagement, or damage cap.
• A rough damage formula per Submarine attack is:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{DMG}_\text{day} = \text{TP} \times ( 1.2 + 0.04 \times \sqrt{LV} ) }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ \text{DMG}_\text{night} = ( \text{FP + TP} ) \times ( 1.2 + 0.04 \times \sqrt{LV} ) }[/math]

With

• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{DMG} }[/math]the damage result for day and night battle respectively,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{FP} }[/math]the submarine'sFirepowerstat,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{TP} }[/math]the submarine'sTorpedostat,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{LV} }[/math]the submarine'sLevel.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ 1.2 + 0.04 \times \sqrt{LV} = 1.6 }[/math]at Lv 100.

The number of attacks per Touch ranges from 2 to 4.

• Each submarine will trough either 1 or 2 torpedo strikes.
  • Only Lv 75+ submarines can trigger 2 strikes,
  • If a Lv 75+ submarine doesnotcarry anySubmarine Radar,it rolls between 1 and 2 strikes randomly (exact rate unclear yet),
  • If a Lv 75+ submarine does carry anySubmarine Radar,it is guaranteed to roll 2 strikes.

OneSubmarine Supply Materialwill beconsumedfor EACH battle the Touch triggers in.

• If the Touch triggers twice in a battle, only a singlewill be consumed for this battle.
• If the Touch triggers in multiple nodes, onewill be consumed for each node it is triggered.

It doesnotconsume any extra ammo. If the game is refreshed before the battle ends, thenno materialwill be consumed even if the touch triggered.

Trigger rate is affected by the Level and luckstat of the participating ships.

• Submarine Radarsaffect the trigger rate, each increasing the trigger rate by about 10 %.

It has a chance to triggerevery timethe AS takes a turn at shelling.

• It can trigger in both day and night for the same battle.
• It can only trigger once during day battle.
• If it fails to trigger during the day battle, there is still a chance to trigger it in the follow-up night battle.
• If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

The attack order is always (where amo,g the attacking submarines, 1 is upper one and 2 is lower one):

• 1-1-2-2 for 4 attacks,
• 1-1-2 or 1-2-2 for 3 attacks,
• 1-2 for 2 attacks.
  • If touch stops early, then attacks can be just 1-1
  • Also note that the actual order may be different from client animation of who shoots torpedoes, which always assigns attackers alternately like 1-2-1-2 or 1-2-1 or 1-2, so you may mismatch the real attack.

The touch can be activatedmultiple timesper sortie.

When attacking a fleet, the usualTargetingrules apply.

• The torpedoes fired target ships independently,
• When facing aCombined Fleet,if any ship is present in the escort fleet on day battle, then all torpedoes will be fired to the escort fleet.
