This article is meant to be a rough guideline to help you determine which girls you should be leveling. Included in this is which girls you should be using your limited blueprints, action reports and prototype catapults on. Event-only girls are listed separately due to their rarity. Any girl not listed here can be considered low priority.
The bare minimum you'll require for events is 7DD 1CL 3CA/V 4FBB 2CV 2CVL. This covers all combined fleet combinations with no extra capacity for ship locks or historical ships.

This article is meant to be a rough guideline to help you determine which girls you should be leveling.

As a general rule, girls which require special resources (blueprint, action report, protoype catapult) are rated lower than their counterparts unless they outclass every other girl in that category. Unless otherwise noted, you should be getting girls to their highest remodel.
The advice in this article assumes you already have the girl. Don't stress about missing high priority girls.

All DEs are low priority for leveling. There's no reason to level them outside of fulfilling branching or expedition requirements. You'll want at least 4 DE at Kai and the rest can be leveled at your own leisure.
The primary role of a CL is to provide utility for the fleet. This is readily apparent in Combined Fleets that only allow a single CL to participate. As such, there is a limited number of CLs that can be considered useful. Like DDs, they can be roughly divided into the same roles.

The priority of a BB changes depending on their type. Fast battleships, slow battleships and aviation battleships all have their own special niche. For a player just starting out, fast BBs can fill in for slow BBs. They won't have the raw power of a slow BB, but they'll perform adequately in the role.

Standard Fleet Carriers are the backbone of the Fleet when it comes to providing air support for the fleet. As aircraft are their main weaponry, their slot size and distribution determines the usefulness of the Carrier. Armoured Carriers (CVB) are capable of attacking while in moderately damaged.

CVLs, as their name suggests, are just smaller CVs. They are used as substitutes for CVs when routing or fleet composition rules stop you from taking CVs. CVLs perform the same roles that CVs do, providing air support and powerful striking power. Like CVs, slot size and distribution plays a large role in determining how useful they are. CVLs are important to have around because of Combined Fleet composition requirements - STF and TCF limit CVs. They are also useful in normal maps where you want to reduce the resource cost.

SS are of limited usefulness. Their main role is to be bait for leveling in certain maps. Despite this, there have been a number of events where cheesing with submarines is a viable strategy. Does michigan tax casino winnings. Therefore it is recommended that you have a few good submarines to prepare for that eventuality.

This category covers seaplane tenders (AV), fleet oilers (AO), submarine tenders (AS), repair ships (AR), amphibious assault ships (LHA) and training cruisers (CT). Each of these have their own niche but their primary use is for routing. The priorities listed here are based off their niche performance. If they are required for special event routing, it is recommended they go to the top of the priority list.

R/kancolle: A subreddit for the Japanese game about cute WW2 ships fighting cute evil not-WW2 ships. Press J to jump to the feed. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. This article is meant to be a rough guideline to help you determine which girls you should be leveling. Included in this is which girls you should be using your limited blueprints, action reports and prototype catapults on. Event-only girls are listed separately due to their rarity. Any girl not listed here can be considered low priority. Kancolle Expand Ship Slots, poker chip knife, race poker megatouch, starburst slot tips. Kancolle Expand Ship Slots, online casino pbcom tower, the star casino gold coast accommodation, best in slot range gear osrs. £600 with 200 free spins.
As a general rule, girls which require special resources (blueprint, action report, protoype catapult) are rated lower than their counterparts unless they outclass every other girl in that category. Unless otherwise noted, you should be getting girls to their highest remodel.
The advice in this article assumes you already have the girl. Don't stress about missing high priority girls.

All DEs are low priority for leveling. There's no reason to level them outside of fulfilling branching or expedition requirements. You'll want at least 4 DE at Kai and the rest can be leveled at your own leisure.
The primary role of a CL is to provide utility for the fleet. This is readily apparent in Combined Fleets that only allow a single CL to participate. As such, there is a limited number of CLs that can be considered useful. Like DDs, they can be roughly divided into the same roles.

The priority of a BB changes depending on their type. Fast battleships, slow battleships and aviation battleships all have their own special niche. For a player just starting out, fast BBs can fill in for slow BBs. They won't have the raw power of a slow BB, but they'll perform adequately in the role.

Standard Fleet Carriers are the backbone of the Fleet when it comes to providing air support for the fleet. As aircraft are their main weaponry, their slot size and distribution determines the usefulness of the Carrier. Armoured Carriers (CVB) are capable of attacking while in moderately damaged.

CVLs, as their name suggests, are just smaller CVs. They are used as substitutes for CVs when routing or fleet composition rules stop you from taking CVs. CVLs perform the same roles that CVs do, providing air support and powerful striking power. Like CVs, slot size and distribution plays a large role in determining how useful they are. CVLs are important to have around because of Combined Fleet composition requirements - STF and TCF limit CVs. They are also useful in normal maps where you want to reduce the resource cost.

SS are of limited usefulness. Their main role is to be bait for leveling in certain maps. Despite this, there have been a number of events where cheesing with submarines is a viable strategy.
