Train ships or continue going on the levels?
Everything.
Grind up your ships, clear new maps, build new ships, develop new equipment, spam expeditions, do dailies.
But mostly train your ships.

You'll figure out your own priorities once you get a better grasp of the game.
Leguna
better take it easy with the hq levels though, the higher your level, the difficulties will also increasing.
Kitsunemimi
Welp guys, looks like I won the game.


Remember the single attempt Yamato craft I had a while back?
This one was in five.

And you better believe it.

Construction RNG must love me or something.

... It's definitely the "something"
Now, if you all don't mind, I've gotta prepare for the 100 karma attempts for Taihou.
Leguna
try using 4k/2k/5k/5.2k 20
got her in one shot :s

One is enough and now there's two Shimakazes :D

you have to insert that while playing the game using the vpn, same goes for changing the fleet name.

What is a good place to train different kinds of ships
I have been training Hibiki at 1-5-a with the equipment I crafted but that only works for the loli ships

personally, i would suggest 3-2a for BB/CV/CVL leveling, but can get quite boring ( for me at least )

that guide has a couple of leveling guide, take your pick.

Maybe you didn't click the confirmation button on the right. Or if you already did, you're playing through the API method. (without log and stuff)
It doesn't allow you to fill in the blank your personal message & your fleet names. It works on KanColle Viewer though, you may want to give it a shot.

Speaking of which, did you guys bothered with proper fleet names ?
Kitsunemimi
It doesn't work in KCV for me.

By the way, these are my fleet names


I had trouble coming up with a fourth one, so I might change that one eventually.
I also change my status message monthly when refetching API keys.

i use kcv and ofc i actually clicked the confirm on the right.. maybe i'll try it through the vpn
Juuryoushin
Eeh, I thought the API was the cause .... I don't really know then. It works everytime on KCV for me.

My fleet names from one to four:
(Mainly refers to Little Busters!, with the latter word replaced by "shipgirls")
(Quite the same thing, literally "Kanmusu no Tatsujin")
(Spellcard style for this one, Tsukumogami "Repair Rain")
(Blue Sea of 90 Minutes, because this fleet does Expedition 5 all day everyday.)

I don't regularly change it personally, it greatly depends of what I do at the moment.
Hm, care to translate your fleet names ?
Kitsunemimi
They're all really simple.
They're mofumofu kantai (fleet), fuwafuwa kantai, mochimochi kantai, and moemoe kantai respectively. Not really creative and... it's difficult to identify them from KCV notifications when fleets return, but they're consistent, and I guess it's just my kind of style.
-Atri-
Are we talking about fleet names?

Just started playing, won the lottery on first try. Any tips?

This game is addicting. The thought of your ship girl getting damaged is scary tough.

Well for starters you can only permanently sink them if you enter a new battle with them heavily damaged (a.k.a red) so there's nothing much to be scared of there

No, you haven't.

Other than buggy third party programs, sinking in orange is simply not a real thing. If it was, a community this size would have known by now

Sometimes it is a bug, it is known and we should not check if it orange or red
We should check the percentage of the HP. If the HP is lower than 25% it should be red. If it is orange, it is a bug and it is actually red
You should report it with japanese if you have that bug before

every time there's a new time-limited stage available, rumours about this glitch are all over the internet.

it happened a few times i remember, so sometimes you still have to pray for luck...

It could be either case really.
Sometimes when you aren't paying attention, your ship gets grazed to red (there's normal to orange and normal to red animation, but no orange to red), and you enter the next battle thinking that they're fine.
Other times it could be due to the game mechanism. In Summer event last year, when the combined fleet mechanism first implemented, there were tons of reports of ships being sunk despite not red. There was actual evidence because someone had that happen to him when he was streaming on Niconico, and thousands of people saw it at the same time.

DMM and Kadokawa are traditional Japanese corporations. This means that they will NEVER acknowledge that they had faulted and caused players to incur loss unless absolutely vital. What they'd do is that they will first come out to deny such a case to be legit (the player had used a hack, blah blah blah), and behind the doors they would secretly patch the bug so that it won't happen. And because there is no other case report afterwards (because it's fixed!) the admins get off the hook easily and fans won't unnecessarily sink ships anymore. The only ones to incur actual loss would be those unlucky few to have their ships sank before the report. But for the AL/MI event incident, the admins did come out and apologize because there was actual footage of it happening and a bunch of witnesses.

It certainly is a tragic loss to you, slainender, and you have my every condolence. Please carry on despite the loss.



And here's the compiled drop rate of mochis as of Feb 25th. Good luck everyone! I did mine at 3-3 also in attempt at getting Yamagumo.

i was hoping i could get them more at 3-3 using sub, but seriously, they still rare nonetheless. 20 run and only got once.
24% at Hoppou node? oh man...
Jinxy
factor in the 3-5 retreat rate and resource consumption rate and 3-3 or 5-3 subcheese probably beats it

i ended up using buckets just to get these fking mochi xd

i only have 2 so far ;w;

Why the hell is this getting an anime adaption? Game is nice, but premise is very shoddy for anime, and the plot may be badly constructed, leading to negative views from outsiders about this game.
you do know the anime has been broadcasting for the past 8 weeks already right

Okay, you do, just a poor use of tenses. Reception is largely positive if you switch your brain off and just enjoy it for what it is. People who like simple moe like it, and those who dislike it will just skip it unless they have such an inferiority complex that they have to get off from broadcasting to the world their obviously superior taste in anime
domSaur
if you do not like it then gtfo. overused but works everytime. even i know the show's flaws but i still like it.. your disappointment comes from your own expectation.. i've pretty much read that the show will be 70% SoL and 30% Action.

anyways, 2nd LSC attempt with a yamarcksashi recipe and got Hotel /o/ (probably going to post pic later as i'm not at my computer right now). and done with the 3 mochi quest, gotta look for 10 more ;w;
Juuryoushin
The main problem is people's expectations to see "grand" things with their fav characters all over the place. If you get past the very predictable result and all its tons of said "plot problems", it remains pretty enjoyable.
I could extend my argument but there is a separate thread for it. You can spill all your rage & happiness over there.

About the game, I did 4 LSCs last week (BB recipes with Z1 flag, precisely.), got nothing but Kongou-class ships. Also, I remind you that the Hishimochi quest will disappear in 9 days if you are still on it or if you haven't started yet. Get these Skilled Lookouts !

26k fuel , 28k ammo, 17k steel, 10k bauxite
i'm done with this accursed mochi
