"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.

    • She must not be more thanlightly damaged ( tiểu phá ).
  • A pair of ships from a same "Helper Pair" must be in the 2nd and 3rd positions.
    • They must not be more thanlightly damaged ( tiểu phá ).
    • When usingMusashi Kai Nias the helper in the 2nd position with aNagato-class Kai Niin the 3rd one:
      • If the 3rd ship islightly damaged ( tiểu phá )or better, there is a random chance to trigger the "2-Ship Special Attack"instead.
      • If the 3rd ship ismoderately damaged ( trung phá )or worse, the "2-Ship Special Attack"will trigger instead.
  • There must be 6 or more surface ships in the fleet.

  • The modifiers arepost-capon day battle, andpre-capon night battle.
  • The equipment bonuses do not stack further than 1 radar and/or 1 AP shell per ship.
    • Only ships equipped with those equipment will get a bonus for their attack(s).

The attack will consume extra ammo from participating ships when triggered. The total ammo consumption will bex1.8of the original ammo consumption of those ships when the attack is triggered.

The touch:

  • Can be triggered even if artillery spotting fails to activate.
  • Can only be activatedonce 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.
  • The rate is probably:
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor \text{V} \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Lv}} + \text{W} \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Luck}} + \text{X} + \text{Y} \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]

It is notably affected by:

  • The Level and luckLuckstat of the participating ships,
  • RADARSurface Radars(5+ LoS?) on attacking ships (+8~10 %)[1].

It is currently measured above 70 %.

  • 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:

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 notevacuatedviaCommand FacilitySFFCFStriking Force Fleet Command Facility,
    • 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.[1]
  • The fleet must be a single fleet or aStriking Force Fleet,
  • The formation needs to be eitherEchelonEchelon.pngorLine AbreastLineAbreast.png,
  • At least oneSubmarine Supply MaterialSubmarine 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'sFirepowerFirepowerstat,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{TP} }[/math]the submarine'sTorpedoTorpedo Attackstat,
  • [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 EquipmentSubmarine Radar,it rolls between 1 and 2 strikes randomly (exact rate unclear yet),
    • If a Lv 75+ submarine does carry anySubmarine EquipmentSubmarine Radar,it is guaranteed to roll 2 strikes.

OneSubmarine Supply MaterialSubmarine Supply Materialwill beconsumedfor EACH battle the Touch triggers in.

  • If the Touch triggers twice in a battle, only a singleItem Card Submarine Supply Material.pngwill be consumed for this battle.
  • If the Touch triggers in multiple nodes, oneItem Card Submarine Supply Material.pngwill 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 luckLuckstat of the participating ships[1].

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.

Trivia

The term "Touch" comes from the fact the 1st ever introduced special attack was the "Nelson Touch".

This name comes itself fromNelson's namesake: Horatio Nelson, and his "Nelson Touch",a collection of ideas for naval tactic and leadership style.
