Special Attacks/French Touch

On Kai/Deux, Richelieu and Jean Bart gain a special attack called "Richelieu! Overwhelm them!" (Richelieuよ！圧倒しなさいっ！, "French Touch"):

"Touch Helpers"
Richelieu Flagship:	Jean Bart Flagship:
	Kai/Deux

• A Richelieu-class Kai/Deux must be flagship.
  • Secretary for combined fleets.
  • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
• The other "Touch Helper" must be in the 2nd position.
  • She must not 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.

• In single fleet, Double Line needs to be selected.
• In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 2 needs to be selected.
  • In a combined fleet, it can only be triggered in the Main fleet??.

[1]

If triggered:

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

Attack Multipliers [2]
Equipment	Flagship
	Attacks 1 & 2	Attack 3	Attacks 1, 2, & 3
No Bonus Equipment	1.30	1.24	1.24
Surface Surface Radar Only	1.50	1.43	1.43
AP Shells Only	1.76	1.67	1.67
AP + Surface Radar	2.02	1.93	1.93

• The modifiers are post-cap on day battle, and pre-cap on 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).

• Both ships involved consume additional ammunition when triggered:

Fleet type	Triggering type	Additional ammo consumption
Single	Day battle (no night battle)	10 %
	Day battle (with night battle)	15 %
	Night battle (after day battle)	15 %
	Night battle Node	5 %
Combined	Day battle (no night battle)	?
	Day battle (with night battle)	?
	Night battle (after day battle)	?

The touch:

• 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.
• The rate is probably:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{FS}} + \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{2nd}} + \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{FS}} + \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{2nd}} + \text{X} + \text{Y} }[/math]

With

• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{FS} }[/math] the flagship's Level,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{2nd} }[/math] the 2nd ship's Level,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{FS} }[/math] the flagship's Luck,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{2nd} }[/math] the 2nd ship's Luck,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{X} }[/math] some yet unknown bonus variables,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Y} }[/math] some yet unknown base rate.
