kancolle guide

Sora's Kancolle Guide :D

this will be a smallish guide to help you understand the basics of kancolle.
this is based off the information i have learned so some may be incorrect due to how i played the game. x_x

here is just a picture i found that has all the areas of the naval district translated to english



organize: you can organize your fleets for your sorties, practices, and expeditions

supply: after a sortie, practice, expedition you can resupply your ships with ammo, fuel, and planes

refit: you can change the equipment on your ships, modernize them (fuse other ships for better stats) or remodel (kai/kai ni) them.

docking: you can repair your ships here

factory: you can construct ship, scrap ship, craft equipment, and scrap equipment.

ships: caps at 100 but you can buy more with real money

these are the important ones you need to know other than the big sortie button.


Organizing fleet:


these are small tips about organizing your fleet.
green: those will replenish your ships morale. they are not easy to get so save them
red: it will remove all ships but the flagship (first one)
blue: you can change the name of your fleet


Development:

Here are some good daily development recipes (equipment/green button)
10/10/10/11 will have a small chance of getting a sonar (good for anti sub)
10/10/30/10 will have a small chance of getting high angles and supply drums (they will come in handy later)

Modernization:
When modernizing a ship, try to use two of a stat (2 torpedo, two armor, etc)

if you just give them a light cruiser which is one torpedo|1 armor, it can fail because it is only one stat on one of them but two torpedo like the picture has two points in torpedo increasing chance a lot.

(remember that kai/kai ni resets their modernization stat)



Battle:

In order top to bottom left to right:
line ahead = all in (usually you want this)
double line = lower damage but high accuracy
diamond = flagship is protected highly, highest anti air
echelon = highest evasion (rarely use this)
line abreast = highest anti sub (use this against subs)

After choosing fleet formation the battle goes like this:

detection: a plane will go out and depending on your detection stat (radar/planes)
it will turn green or red.
green : increased accuracy and evasion
red: prevents allied planes from going out

engagement form:
this is just to show you how you engaged their fleet
Parallel engagement:
Damage is 100%
Chance to get this: 45%
Chance to get this with Saiun: 45%


You want this one




Head on engagement
Damage is 80%
chance to get this: 30%
chance to get this with saiun: 40%


you don't want this





T cross advantage
Damage is 120%
chance to get this 15%
chance to get this with saiun 15%




You really want this



T cross disadvantage
Damage is 60%
chance to get this 10%
chance to get this with saiun 0%

You sometimes want this is you want to take no damage in the battle.





Saiun is a yellow plane that allows you to not achieve T cross disadvantage although sometimes you might want it at times because if you are up against big battleships, you can get that and take very little damage that node.

Remember if you have head on, the enemy will have head on.
the engagement is same for both sides.


aerial combat: if a ship is equipped with a
offensive plane (bbv, cav, ssv, av, cv, cvl) they will fight along with fighters (green planes) to shoot down each other and once done fighting, planes will drop their torpedos and bombs on ships.
this is an example of air superiority 
this happens after the planes will fight and if you have enough air power, you can get bonus fighting power. (artillery spotting)
if the text is red, that means you have lost air superiority

Opening stages: SS, CLT/AV/Abukuma Kai ni with mini sub can launch torpedoes before shelling starts.

Day battle: All ships except submarines start to fire in order to their range which can be found here

and usually BB goes first > CV > CA > CL > DD

A second round of firing can happen if you have bb/bbv

After all the shelling, DD, CL, CLT, CA, CAV, SS, Bismarck drei can fire a torpedo at the enemy.






Yasen:
All ships but CVL and CV can participate
Some higher leveled abyssal carriers can attack at night

Ships must not be red to attack

Ships will have higher accuracy and damage on both sides

Subs will only take scratch damage (1-3)
if you are against subs do not go into night battle.



Ships equipped with a certain setup can do a night battle attack

Yuudachi is equipped with 2 reds (12.7) and a green (10cm)
aka 2 primaries and a wildcard that is not a torpedo.








Last tips for now:
remove the equipment of ships you dont need (dont have to do when kai/kai ni)
dont continue in a sortie after a ship is red (you can still night battle)
when doing resupply quest, you can choose one ship to resupply one of their things at a time to count as one. do this 15 times

ships to look out for and level:
Sendai - Night battle equipment at kai ni and has best voice actor
Jinstuu - highest cl stats
Fubuki/Hatsushimo - Fire directors (good for anti air, will go over that later)
Ayanami - good destroyer in general (comes with searchlight and starshell at kai ni)
Shigure/Yukikaze - High luck stat (equip torpedoes on kai ni on shigure) (just equip torps on yukikaze whenever)
Maya - really good stats and early levels and good equipment at kai ni
Aoba - good early CA with 30 luck at kai (red gun, red gun, torp, plane is good set up)
Myoukou - high stat CA (high luck)
Haruna/Kirishima - gives better kai ni equipment than the other kongou class
Kitakami/Ooi/Kiso give quintuple torpedoes at kai ni.
Mogami/Suzuya/Mikuma/Kumano - they become CAV at kai

Expeditions use 2, 5, and 6 during the day and 11,15,16 are good overnight.

refer to wiki
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Sortie
when doing sorties you can check branching rules, enemies, and drops

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Expedition/Reference_tables
when doing expeditions so you can see who to use, what level the flagship has to be, and the overall level of fleet.
red: total fleet level (find this in bottom blue line in kancolle viewer)
green: flagship level
blue: drums (ill explain later)









http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Construction
Use this when constructing a ship
Use most common recipes


http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Development
Use this to craft equipment later
remember to check the flagship and hq level requirement

http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Drop_List
This is good when you are hunting a ship you want

maybe next time i will go over equipment setups but right now this is as much i can offer
