| − | '''Update notes''' (From the official twitter)
| |
| − | *1. Launch of KanColle's 2015 Spring Event: Limited-time-only map areas:
| |
| − | **The limited-time-only maps of the KanColle 2015 Spring Event "Operation No. 11, Launch!" will be implemented through the ongoing update. Since this marks the 2nd anniversary of the game, this year's spring event will last for approximately 20 days.
| |
| − | *2. 2015 Spring Event: Main operations (first half of the event):
| |
| − | **"Main Operations (first half of the event)" will consist of the following four map areas:
| |
| − | ***1st map: Preparation for Operation No.11
| |
| − | ***2nd map: Second Curry Ocean Operation
| |
| − | ***3rd map: Bagel Bay Transport Destruction Battle
| |
| − | ***4th map: Final Battle! Ri Lanka Island Invasion
| |
| − | *3. 2015 Spring Event: New Kanmusus:
| |
| − | **There will be a grand total of 3 new Kanmusus appearing in the Main operations. You can obtain the [[:Category:Unryuu_Class|Unryuu-class]] standard carrier "[[Katsuragi]]" by beating E2, and you can obtain the Western Kanmusu "[[Littorio]]" through beating E4.
| |
| − | *4. 2015 Spring Event: New Kanmusus, cont'd:
| |
| − | **Along with the 2 Kanmusus introduced above, in the first half of the event, there is a chance you can obtain [[:Category:Yuugumo Class|Yuugumo-class]] destroyer [[Takanami]] in all event maps.
| |
| − | ***NB! You can obtain her through (presumably) beating boss nodes of the latter half of the main operations.
| |
| − | ***NB! Depending on the location within the event map, your odds of obtaining her drastically changes (again, presumably higher on boss nodes)
| |
| − | *5. About the newly implemented system of "[[Active Branching]]":
| |
| − | **Up to this point, route determination in KanColle was done by compass routing, which could be affected by various conditions such as fleet composition; however, through today's update, some maps will have "[[Active Branching]]", a routing system that allows the admiral to determine his/her fleet's route by his/her own decision.
| |
| − | *6. About the "[[Combined Fleet]]":
| |
| − | **E2 and E4 of the main operations use combined fleet mechanics. You can form a combined fleet by going to the fleet composition menu, then dragging the icon of the 2nd fleet to your 1st fleet (Main fleet).
| |
| − | *7. About "[[Expedition#Support_Expeditions|Support fleets]]":
| |
| − | **You can provide support to your fleets or combined fleets fighting in front line by using "support fleets". You can use shelling support or aerial support fleets and send them out to either of the two "support expeditions" to the event map area (pre-boss node support, boss node support) to support your fleet fighting in front line.
| |
| − | *8. Extra Operations (second half of the event):
| |
| − | **Upon clearing all maps in the "Main Operation (first half of the event)", you can participate in the Extra Operations of the event. The deadlier of Abyssals are focused in the Extra Operations, which consists of two maps. (NB: E-5 and E-6)
| |
| − | *9. New Kanmusus (cont'd):
| |
| − | **In E-6 of the Extra Operations, separate from the earlier 3 Kanmusus introduced, [[Roma]] will be obtainable by beating nodes.
| |
| − | ***NB! Depending on the location within the event map your odds of obtaining her drastically changes (again, probably hinting that she is more likely found by boss or pre-boss nodes).
| |
| − | *10. 2015 Spring Event: New Kanmusus (tot. 5)
| |
| − | **Also, for admirals whose fleets complete all the Spring Event maps, seaplane tender "[[Akitsushima]]" will join the fleet. Although her combat ability isn't top quality, let's welcome her to the fleet! In summary, there will be a total of 5 new Kanmusus appearing in this year's Spring event.
| |
| − | *11. About "Difficulty Selection":
| |
| − | **In the spring event maps of "Launch! Operation No. 11", each maps will feature three tiers of difficulty that can be selected by the admiral.
| |
| − | ***NB! All admirals can participate in "Operation C" (Easy).
| |
| − | ***NB! Higher level veteran admirals can participate in "Operation B" (Medium) or "Operation A" (Hard).
| |
| − | *12. (For admirals doing A- or B-tier difficulties) About difficulty locking:
| |
| − | **Some maps will give sortie stamps on Kanmusus who sortied out to the map. The Kanmusus with these stamps are unable to participate in any other event maps that will give sortie stamps. Please keep this in mind.
| |
| − | ***NB! This includes E3, E4, and E5.
| |
| − | *13. New BGM implemented:
| |
| − | **The main theme of the first half of the event operations "Fight of the [[:Category:Mutsuki Class|Mutsuki-Class]] Destroyers" and the boss node theme "Combined fleet, to the West" have been implemented. Also, the extra operations have a BGM with the Abyssal threat as its motive. Please look forward to it!
| |
| − | *14. New equipment implemented:
| |
| − | **Along with the new Kanmusus introduced in the spring event, the new equipment "Type 2 Flying Boat","[[381mm / 50 Triple Gun Mount kai]]", "[[OTO 152mm triple extended machine gun]]", "90mm単装高角砲", "90mm単装高角砲" have been implemented.
| |
