Minhfongboy: /* Phase 2 - Boss */

=Sandbox Rules=
This sandbox is to be used to construct an event guide for the above-mentioned event map. These guides are to all of the following requirements:
* An overview of the map, including ship/equipment bonuses, Ship Locks, and special mechanics,
* List of branching unlocking requirements (if there are multiple requirements, compositions for each path along with the below requirements will be needed to discuss the unlocking requirements in question),
* A list of working compositions that work: (T=these must have possible alternatives for players who may or may not have all ships needed for a specific path),
** The Paths said compositions will take (to explain each path the composition will/can take),
** A summary or description of what kind of obstacles a composition will face.
* A description of the boss node: what it consists of, and a descriptive guide on what the player should consider for a course of action to successfully win the battle,
* ''Optional'': Tips/guides to farm certain ships and/or resources (this can also require compositions, paths, and possible descriptions).
Editors are to construct their own version of the guide/part of the guide, and complete it in a timely fashion.

No editor is allowed to edit over other editors' work without the consent of the editor and his approval to do so.

Several versions will be constructed through this page and will be reviewed and approved by the staff/collaboration committee before being moved for the [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]], being reviewed and updated once more before it can be released.

Overall there should be 3 versions of the guide that have to be constructed, including: Preliminary > Polished > Finalized Guides

With each approval of each version of the guide, the said guide will be updated to the main page, and construction of the next version will begin.

All guides outside of the approved version will be removed and work will begin from the approved version to make it better for the next version until the finalized version is made.

==Map Overview==
E5 is a single and combined fleet, four-phase map consisting of 4 boss phases.
* 3 [[LBAS]] are available to sortie on this map.

* This map uses 4 locks:
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 11.png|40px]] '''Yokosuka Defense Squadron''', Starting point 1
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 12.png|40px]] '''Combined Fleet''', Starting point 1
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 13.png|40px]] '''104th Squadron''', Starting point 2
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 14.png|40px]] '''Decisive Battle Fleet''', Starting point 3

The use of {{IconText|{{Aviation Personnel}}|AGDP}} {{EquipmentLink|Arctic Gear & Deck Personnel|text=AGDP}} on CV(B/L), {{Class|Ise|Kai Ni}}, [[Akitsu Maru Kai]], [[Kumano Maru]], [[Shimane Maru]], and [[Yamashio Maru]], is required to sortie these ships on the map when starting from '''Starting point 2'''.

It is also possible to fish {{Item/Icon|Saury|small=true}} [[saury]] on the nodes {{MapRoute|C|red|C2|red|D|red|U|red|?|red|?|red}}.

This sandbox is to be used to construct an event guide for the above-mentioned event map. These guides are to all of the following requirements:
* An overview of the map, including ship/equipment bonuses, Ship Locks, and special mechanics,
* List of branching unlocking requirements (if there are multiple requirements, compositions for each path along with the below requirements will be needed to discuss the unlocking requirements in question),
* A list of working compositions that work: (T=these must have possible alternatives for players who may or may not have all ships needed for a specific path),
** The Paths said compositions will take (to explain each path the composition will/can take),
** A summary or description of what kind of obstacles a composition will face.
* A description of the boss node: what it consists of, and a descriptive guide on what the player should consider for a course of action to successfully win the battle,
* ''Optional'': Tips/guides to farm certain ships and/or resources (this can also require compositions, paths, and possible descriptions).
Editors are to construct their own version of the guide/part of the guide, and complete it in a timely fashion.

No editor is allowed to edit over other editors' work without the consent of the editor and his approval to do so.

Several versions will be constructed through this page and will be reviewed and approved by the staff/collaboration committee before being moved for the [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]], being reviewed and updated once more before it can be released.

Overall there should be 3 versions of the guide that have to be constructed, including: Preliminary > Polished > Finalized Guides

With each approval of each version of the guide, the said guide will be updated to the main page, and construction of the next version will begin.

All guides outside of the approved version will be removed and work will begin from the approved version to make it better for the next version until the finalized version is made.

==Map Overview==
E4 is a single and combined fleet, four-phase map consisting of 1 transport and 3 boss phases.
* ? [[LBAS]] are available to sortie on this map.

* This map uses 4 locks:

===Tips===
This map utilizes the most random routing across all normal maps.

Regarding the branching rules, the light fleets listed below are the only two comps that guarantee the boss routing. Otherwise, any other fleets have a chance of off-routing, but should still be able to reach the boss node most of the time as long as there are at least 3 DD and 1 AV in the fleet.
*Using a fleet that meets one of the following requirements will avoid the chance of off-routing from {{MapRoute|F|red}} to {{MapRoute|H|green}}:
** '''AV + CL + CV(B/L) ≥ 1'''
** '''AS ≥ 1 and SS(V) ≥ 2'''
** '''AO ≥ 1 and DD+DE ≥ 2'''
*Bringing at least 1 AV/AO and 2DD/DE avoids off-routing entirely when rolling the southern route.
*Fleet that contains only SS(V) has a chance of reaching dead-end nodes {{MapRoute|H|green|M|red}}.
**This comp has around 70-75% chance of reaching the boss node, which can be a cheap comp to clear World 2 daily quest.

}}

===Tips===
This map utilizes the most random routing across all normal maps.

Regarding the branching rules, the light fleets listed below are the only two comps that guarantee the boss routing. Otherwise, any other fleets have a chance of off-routing, but should still be able to reach the boss node most of the time as long as there are at least 3 DD and 1 AV in the fleet.
*Using a fleet that meets one of the following requirements will avoid the chance of off-routing from {{MapRoute|F|red}} to {{MapRoute|H|green}}:
** '''AV + CL + CV(B/L) ≥ 1'''
** '''AS ≥ 1 and SS(V) ≥ 2'''
** '''AO ≥ 1 and DD+DE ≥ 2'''
*Bringing at least 1 AV/AO and 2DD/DE avoids off-routing entirely when rolling the southern route.
*Bringing 4 or more heavy ships ((F)BB(V)/CV(B/L)) will start reducing the chances of reaching the boss.
*Fleet that contains only SS(V) has a chance of reaching dead-end nodes {{MapRoute|H|green|M|red}}.

===Recommended Fleets===

| Fleet = '''2 (F)BB(V)/CV(B/L), 3 DD, 1 AV

}}

===Tips===
Enemy fleets along the route to the boss are composed purely of submarines.
*Always use [[Line Abreast]] against SS.
*At various HQ level thresholds, enemy compositions will increase in difficulty, but if training a fleet of DD, CL, and DE, and also maintaining strong ASW equipment, this should be manageable.
*Using DD and CL that have an ASW stat over 100, DEs that have an ASW stat over 60, or ships with native OASW will allow them to perform an [[OASW]] attack, which is very helpful on this map.
*This map is very useful to complete {{Q|Bd8}} and {{Q|Bw5}}, as it can sink up 15 submarines per run.
See ''[[ASW|here]]'' for more general information about Anti-Submarine Warfare.

;Regarding Akashi farming
*This map is the first one where new players can obtain [[Akashi]]. However, it's recommended to '''only farm for her if the player's HQ level > 68'''.
**It is because she only drops at the boss if the enemy comp flagship is a [[Submarine Yo-Class Flagship|Yo-Class Flagship]] or [[Submarine So-Class Flagship|So-Class Flagship]], which is only guaranteed to appear for HQ > 68 players.
*Since 2025, it is also possible to farm a copy of her here even if the player already owned one.

===Recommended Fleets===
{{FleetGuide
| Map = Heavy Fleet
| Fleet = '''1 BBV, 0-1 CVL, 2-3 CL/DD (4 ships)
| Route = {{MapRoute|A|red|D|red|F|red|G|blue|J|red}}
| AS = 0
| Note = Recommended for beginners.
*Equipping a [[Saiun]] to the CVL will minimize the chance of {{color|red|Red T}}.
*At least 1 BBV is recommended as it is capable of performing ASW while also granting a second shelling phase.
*A [[CVE]] is highly recommended for this map as they are CVL capable of fighting submarines efficiently.
*See [[OASW]] for more details on how they work.

| Route = {{MapRoute|A|red|D|red|F|red|G|blue|J|red}}

| Quest = {{Q|Bd8}}, {{Q|Bw5}}
}}

===Sparkling===
This map can now also double for flagship [[sparkling]] for any DD, CL, or DE, preferably with [[OASW]].
;Recommended Fleet:
{{FleetGuide
| Map = Sparkling Fleet
| Fleet = 1 CL/DD/DE flagship, 2-3 DD
| Route = {{MapRoute|A|red|D|red|F|red|G|blue|J|red}}
| AS = 0
| Note = The flagship must be ASW focused (with an [[OASW]] preferably), and the other DD need to be any weaker ship, such as Lv1 fresh drops to throwaway.
*By doing this, the flagship is sparkled while taking almost no damage, aside from the occasional bad targeting roll.
*Critically, this leveling method works best '''after''' HQ 80, as throwaway destroyers without ASW equipment are unable to defeat the armor of the most subs on the map, guaranteeing the flagship being MVP.
*Most importantly, by covering three nodes, far more morale is gained per run than from [[1-1]].
*If planning to use throwaway DD, be sure to not use DD planned to keep/train since they are meant to be scraped afterward.

===Tips===
There is no Boss node in this map. Instead, the final "Harbor Node" at {{MapRoute|N|green}} serves as the map's endpoint.
*A random amount of resources of either fuel, ammo, steel, or bauxite is rewarded upon reaching node {{MapRoute|N|green}}.
**The amount of resources rewarded at node {{MapRoute|N|green}} is great before clearing , and modest after clearing.

'''Only BBV, CVL, CA(V), CL, CT, DD, DE, AV, LHA, AS, AO, and AR can be used on this map.
*(F)BB, CV(B), CLT, and SS(V) are not allowed.
*Using BBV, CVL, or CA will route to node {{MapRoute|C|red}} which leads to a harder route. Submarine fleets with line ahead formation appear at node {{MapRoute|I|red}} (1/2 patterns).
**This route is mostly taken if a player wishes to brute-force the map or complete specific quests.

;Regarding nodes
*Nodes {{MapRoute|D|pink|F|pink|L|pink}} are ''Air Battle'' nodes.
**Daytime combat at these nodes has two Aerial Combat phases but no shelling. It's also possible to do night battle afterward, unlike regular Air nodes.
**Having a ship with [[AACI]] is highly recommended to reduce damage taken here.
**If the fleet has no ships that can attack during Aerial Combat, it will get a ''D rank'' (see [[Combat#Victory_Conditions|1st D rank condition]]), unless entering night combat.
*Node {{MapRoute|N|green}} is an "End Node" and not a boss node, thus it will not count towards certain quests (namely {{Q|Bw1}}) that require reaching a boss node.

===Tips===
There is no Boss node in this map. Instead, the final "Harbor Node" at {{MapRoute|N|green}} serves as the map's endpoint.
*A random amount of resources of either fuel, ammo, steel, or bauxite is rewarded upon reaching node {{MapRoute|N|green}}.
**The amount of resources rewarded at node {{MapRoute|N|green}} is great before clearing , and modest after clearing.

'''Only BBV, CVL, CA(V), CL, CT, DD, DE, AV, LHA, AS, AO, and AR can be used on this map.
*(F)BB, CV(B), CLT, and SS(V) are not allowed.
*Using BBV, CVL, or CA will route to node {{MapRoute|C|red}} which leads to a harder route. Submarine fleets with line ahead formation appear at node {{MapRoute|I|red}} (1/2 patterns).
**This route is mostly taken if a player wishes to brute-force the map or complete specific quests.

;Regarding nodes
*Nodes {{MapRoute|D|pink|F|pink|L|pink}} are ''Air Battle'' nodes.
**Daytime combat at these nodes has two Aerial Combat phases but no shelling. It's also possible to do night battle afterward, unlike regular Air nodes.
**Having a ship with [[AACI]] is highly recommended to reduce damage taken here.
**If the fleet has no ships that can attack during Aerial Combat, it will get a ''D rank'' (see [[Combat#Victory_Conditions|1st D rank condition]]), unless entering night combat.
*Node {{MapRoute|N|green}} is an "End Node" and not a boss node, thus it will not count towards certain quests (namely {{Q|Bw1}}) that require reaching a boss node.
**Therefore, it is possible to advance with a '''{{Taiha}}''' ship from node {{MapRoute|B|red}} or {{MapRoute|D|pink}} without risk of sinking any ship.

===Tips===
Enemy fleets along the route to the boss are composed purely of submarines.
*Always use [[Line Abreast]] against SS.
*At various HQ level thresholds, enemy compositions will increase in difficulty, but if training a fleet of DD, CL, and DE, and also maintaining strong ASW equipment, this should be manageable.
*Using DD and CL that have an ASW stat over 100, DEs that have an ASW stat over 60, or ships with native OASW will allow them to perform an [[OASW]] attack, which is very helpful on this map.
*This map is very useful to complete {{Q|Bd8}} and {{Q|Bw5}}, as it can sink up 15 submarines per run.
See ''[[ASW|here]]'' for more general information about Anti-Submarine Warfare.

===Regarding Akashi farming===
*This map will be the first map a new player can use to farm [[Akashi]]. However, it is '''only recommended to farm for her if your HQ is 68 is higher as she only drops at the boss node where the enemy flagship is in <font color="orange">Flagship</font> form'''.
*Since 2025, it is also possible to farm a copy of her here even if the player already owned one.

*Critically, this leveling method works best '''after''' HQ 80, as throwaway destroyers without ASW equipment are unable to defeat the armor of the most subs on the map, guaranteeing the flagship being MVP.
*Most importantly, by covering three nodes, far more morale is gained per run than from [[1-1]].
*If planning to use throwaway DD, be sure to not use DD planned to keep/train since they are meant to be scraped afterward.

*Once the first battle is complete, "retreat" and "[[resupply]]" before going back out.

As many {{Landing Craft}} [[Landing Craft]] and {{Amphibious Tank}} {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 2 Amphibious Tank|text=Amphibious Tanks}} should be equipped as possible to maximize fuel gain (+3 per craft).
*{{Drum}} {{EquipmentLink|Drum Canister (Transport Use)|text=Drums}} works as an inferior substitute (+2 per drum).
*Using the aforementioned equipment in the fleet is necessary to outweigh the resource cost of the fleet.
*If lacking enough Amphibious Tanks for SS(V), Drum-capable SS are recommended as a substitute.
{{Gain Modifier}}

If done correctly, this can result in an outstanding fuel gain that surpasses [[expedition]] gains.
*Using "cheap" ships to refuel in the fleet (such as {{Class|Kamikaze}} and {{Class|Mutsuki}}) will optimize fuel consumption/farming.
*Alternatively, it is possible to use throwaway DDs with Drums that are never refueled until they are ''critically damaged'', and then scraped to save on resources (do not forget to swap their drums with the new ones before doing this).

===Tips===
This is the first map in which the enemy fleets possess carriers, with at least one carrier on the route and one on the boss.
*The fleet will notably be attacked by enemy bombers in the opening airstrike.

===Tips===
This map is the first one to have an enemy battleship, which will enforce a second shelling phase during the day battle.
*It is important to bring strong enough ships to defeat this BB flagship.

This map is also great for farming fuel.

===Resource Nodes===
{{MapRoute|D|green|G|green}} are "Normal Resource Nodes" rewarding both Fuel {{Fuel}}.
*''See [[Resource Node|here]] for more details.

====Fuel Farming====
Node {{MapRoute|D|green}} is a good spot to farm fuel {{fuel}}, the base gain being '''10/15/20'''.

;Recommended fleets
{{FleetGuide
| Map =
| Fleet = '''[[Kamoi]]/[[Souya]], 4-5 DD, 0-1 SS(V)

| Route = {{MapRoute|A|blue|D|green|B|blue|E|red}}
| AS = 0
| Note = When using an AO, the reach rate is 100 %, but is only 80 % when using an AV instead.
*Once the first battle is complete, "retreat" and "[[resupply]]" before going back out.

As many {{Landing Craft}} [[Landing Craft]] and {{Amphibious Tank}} {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 2 Amphibious Tank|text=Amphibious Tanks}} should be equipped as possible to maximize fuel gain (+3 per craft).
*{{Drum}} {{EquipmentLink|Drum Canister (Transport Use)|text=Drums}} works as an inferior substitute (+2 per drum).
*Using the aforementioned equipment in the fleet is necessary to outweigh the resource cost of the fleet.
*If lacking enough Amphibious Tanks for SS(V), Drum-capable SS are recommended as a substitute.
{{Gain Modifier}}

If done correctly, this can result in an outstanding fuel gain that surpasses [[expedition]] gains.
*Using "cheap" ships to refuel in the fleet (such as {{Class|Kamikaze}} and {{Class|Mutsuki}}) will optimize fuel consumption/farming.
*Alternatively, it is possible to use throwaway DDs with Drums that are never refueled until they are ''critically damaged'', and then scraped to save on resources (do not forget to swap their drums with the new ones before doing this).

Help:Ship Farming (Advanced)

2025-10-02T02:33:41Z

Minhfongboy: /* Other limited drops */

This article aims to provide advice on the better ways to farm for certain ships in order to use them as [[Modernization]] fodder. Those ships notably include:
*[[#Maruyu|Maruyu]] for luck modding
*[[#DE|DE]] for HP/ASW/Luck modding

=Maruyu=
[[Maruyu Kai]] is the best way to reliably modernize the luck of any ship in the game.
*{{details|Modernization#Maruyu|l1=Maruyu modding}}

==LSC==
Maruyu is a reliable [[LSC]] craft
*She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
*Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
*[[LSC]] attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.

<table class="wikitable">

</tr>
<tr>
<th colspan=6></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=6>
;Notes
* Unlike other recipes, the number of free docks should be minimum (ideally 1).
</td>
</tr>
</table>

==Sorties==
Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is generally cheaper than the [[LSC]] cost.

[[File:Maruyu table MFB.png|1200px|thumb|center|Summary of the efficiency of dropping Maruyu compared to LSC (Click the picture to enlarge it)]]

To sum up, the efficiency of getting [[Maruyu]] are as the following (from top to bottom):
*Farming [[3-5]] '''in LD or Post-clear'''
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''none of her'''
*Farming [[6-2]]
*[[LSC]]
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''at least 1 of her'''.

===3-5===
[[3-5]] is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downsides are the morale drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and the low amount of ranking points awarded.
*It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

[[3-5#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:auto"
! Enemy Compositions
! HQ ≥ 85
! HQ ≤ 84
|-
! {{Enemy/Banner|Northern Princess/III|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress/II|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Heavy Cruiser Ri-Class/Flagship|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Destroyer Ro-Class/Late Model|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Destroyer Ro-Class/Late Model|small=true}}

! rowspan=3 | 0%
|-
! ''Last Dance''<br>''Post-Clear''
| 2.5%
|-

|}
*This means it is '''impossible to get her here if the HQ is 84 or lower'''.

{{FleetGuide
| Map = 3-5 Farming
| Fleet = '''1 (F)BB(V), 3 CVL, 2 CAV/AV'''

Fleet setup reference: [https://jervis.vercel.app/en?p=JDmhr37h5Do]
| Route = {{MapRoute|B|red|D|red|H|red|J|green}}
| AS = 381
| Note =
Node {{MapRoute|H|red}} flagship is a soft-skin {{Enemy/Link|Northern Princess V|text=installation|link=installation}}, requiring equipment such as {{AA Shell}} [[AA Shell]]s and {{Landing Craft}}{{Amphibious Tank}} [[Landing Equipment]].

It is recommended to bring a {{Class|Nelson}} to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|D|red}}.

The CAV/AV should be preferably {{Ship/Link|Mogami Kai Ni Toku|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|link_class=Mogami|text=''Mogami''-class Kai Ni Toku}}.

As the final node is a resource node, it is possible to continue the sortie even when being taiha on {{MapRoute|H|red}}.

The use of {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}} and {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} are recommended in order to boost the {{ammo}} ammo gain on the final node. The best combination to use while keeping the clear rate high is 2 pairs of {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} + {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}, which will raise the amount gained from a base of 50 to '''142''' (+1~10 gain when improved).
}}

----

===4-5===
[[4-5]] has one of the cheapest comps to farm [[Maruyu]] and awards a large amount of ranking points relatively quickly. The main downside is the drop rate is reduced significantly when owning any copies of her.

[[4-5#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:auto"
! Enemy Compositions
! 0 Maruyu
! 1+ Maruyu
|-
! {{Enemy/Banner|Harbour Princess/II|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress/II|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Battleship Ru-Class/Kai Flagship|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Heavy Cruiser Ne-Class/Elite|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Transport Ship Wa-Class/Flagship|small=true}}

| 3% || 1.85%
|-
! ''All Other Enemy Compositions''
| 2% || 0.85%
|}

Therefore, it's only recommended to farm [[Maruyu]] here '''with 0 owned copies''' in the base.

| AS = 207
| Note =
Node {{MapRoute|T|red}} flagship is a soft-skin installation {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II|text=Harbour Princess|link=installation}}, requiring equipment such as {{AA Shell}} [[AA Shell]]s and {{Landing Craft}}{{Amphibious Tank}} [[Landing Equipment]] to deal with her.

2 DDs should be capable of carrying {{Landing Craft}}/{{Amphibious Tank}} '''and''' {{Extra Armor}} Armor Bulges to increase the pass rate. They should also be able to do decent [[OASW]] damage to deal with submarines. Therefore, the best setup for them should be '''a strong special DLC/Tank + {{Sonar}}Sonar + 2 Bulges''' (One bulge in RE).
*As of January 2025, the most effective special DLC/Tank that can deal with {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II}} '''alone''' (Hitting the day cap of 220 base damage before armor) are as follows (From strongest to weakest):
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III Ausf. J}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Type 1 Gun Tank}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III (North African Specification)}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}
*If '''married, it's possible to perform [[OASW]] with only 1 sonar'''. If not married, it's recommended to '''prioritize {{Sonar}}Sonar + {{Depth Charge}}Depth Charge setup to enable it, removing one bulge''' to keep the passing rate high.
The last DD should be the one doing AACI duty, preferably {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}} as she has an extra slot to bring along an extra [[WG42]] as well.
*If she is married and is a high enough level, she can also OASW with 1 sonar and help with the sub node.
For the comp using {{Class|Nelson}}, it's best to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|H|red}}.
*As a result of using only one carrier filled with [[Jet]]s, AS/AS+ isn't possible, so it's best to settle with AP.
All comps listed above have some upsides and downsides mainly due to the usage of [[Jet]]s, so it's up to players to decide which comp is best for them:
*The comps with 3-4 [[Jet]]s generally '''has a higher passing rate''', which also helps reduce the chance of taking damage, and '''lower the Fuel, Ammo, and Bauxite usage''' in general. In exchange, there is a '''50% higher Steel cost compared to min LSC'''.
**This is generally not a problem for players who spam Tokyo Express [[Expedition]]s a lot. Furthermore, steel isn't used much over time anyway.
*On the other hand, the comp without [[Jet]]s are '''more efficient for all resource in the long run''' as you will spend less of them for the same rate of [[Maruyu]] as min LSC (assuming no owned copies of her when farming here, as having her copy would reduce her rate significantly). But '''the passing rate for these comps are also lower'''.

===6-2===
[[6-2#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]: 2.0 %

{{FleetGuide

The recommended CAV/AV are {{Ship/Link|Mogami Kai Ni Toku|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|link_class=Mogami|text=''Mogami''-class Kai Ni Toku}} for opening torp and Night Zuiun attack.

This map is pretty simple and straight forward as you get better passing rate if your ships have higher armor, so for DDs, just stack all the bulges on them.
}}

=DE=
[[DE]] are the best way to modernize the HP of any ship in the game, as well as the only way to modernize ASW and a good way to modernize Luck.
*{{details|Modernization#Coastal Defense Ships|l1=DE modding}}

==Sorties==
*DE can only be obtained via drops, and only [[Limited Drop|limited time drops]] so far. Thus, there is almost no truly reliable way to farm them.
*Unlike any other ship type in the game, DE are subject to unique drop cap behavior, similar to overfishing.
**To farm for them efficiently, knowing how their drop mechanic works is important.
***Having more than 3 duplicates of a certain DE will decrease its drop rate on all maps.
***Using an individual DE as fodder 10+ times will start decreasing its drop rate on all maps, as seen in map 1-3. It's safe to assume the same counter is applied for map 7-4.
**{{details|Drop#Overfishing Cap|l1=Overfishing Cap}}

===7-4===
So far, only [[7-4]] has a constant set of DE drops, making it a reliable farming location.

[[7-4#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
*The drop rate of all DE here depends on the above-mentioned drop behaviors, as well as the current limited drop pool.
*To check their drop rate, please refer to KcNav or PoiDB.

{{FleetGuide
| Map = 7-4 Farming
| Fleet = '''{{ShipLink|Zuihou Kai Ni B|Ryuuhou Kai Ni E|text=Zuihou and Ryuuhou Kai Ni B/E}}, 1 CL, 3 DD

| LOS = Cn4: 37
| Route = {{MapRoute|A|blue|B|red|E|pink|J|red|L|red|P|red}}
| AS = 146
| Note = '''5 [[OASW]] (with 4 being strong)''' is the absolute minimum requirement to stabilize the route. Fewer than 5 will increase the retreat rate.
*A "strong OASW" is defined as a setup utilizing [[ASW Synergy]] ([[Small Sonar]] + [[Depth Charge]]).
*It is important to keep in mind that most retreats here are due to submarines. Especially at '''HQ 120''' where 7-4 is mutated into its last scaling stage, changing the enemy patterns and stats, making farming more difficult if lacking enough strong OASW. An example of these changes are as the following:
**Node J always has 3 {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}
**The boss gains more armor
**The boss node in LD always has a {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}

[[CVE]] should be either Zuihou or Ryuuhou for OASW. While not as strong as the strong OASW setup above, they can still sink some weaker submarines on the way.<br>

An [[AACI]] DD is recommended (usually {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}}) to disable the boss and pass node {{MapRoute|E|pink}} on the way.

All DE have '''damage, accuracy, and evasion bonuses''' here, so they can be a good option to bring along. One of them can be used as flagship to get as much EXP as possible, making this map '''one of the best options to grind them'''.<br>

[[Shigure]] also has '''great accuracy and evasion bonuses''' (but no damage bonus), being the only DD with any bonus here, making her a great DD pick when paired with her above mentioned RE capability.

| Range = {{MapRoute|E|red}}: 2, {{MapRoute|P|red}}(Boss): 5

| NoteLBAS = The LBAS should have 4 fighters that will never be pulled out of this LBAS and {{color|red|'''never resupplied'''}}. Their slots will never go below 3 and can continue sortieing to keep the cost cheap.
*In this map, split the attacks and '''target both node''' {{MapRoute|E|pink}} '''and the boss node''' {{MapRoute|P|red}} for the best efficiency.

===Tips===
By the number order of the world map, this is the first time [[Standard Carrier Wo-Class|Wo Flagship II]] and [[Light Cruiser Tsu-Class]] appear. Wo Flagship II is notably much stronger than the previously encountered Wo Flagship I due to the addition of [[Abyssal Hell Dive Bomber]], while the Tsu-Class has much higher stats compared to the other enemy CL.
*With the presence of Tsu-class, there is a chance to lose a large number of bombers (or even their rank, should the Tsu shoot all of them down) before reaching the boss node. Keep this in mind when equipping bombers on any CV(L).
*Node {{MapRoute|E|red}} is a submarine node without warning.

As with every World 5 map, [[Support Expedition]]s are available to help with clearing the map, often useful to clear harder quests.

===Tips===
This map utilizes the most random routing across all normal maps.

Regarding the branching rules, the light fleets listed below are the only two comps that guarantee the boss routing. Otherwise, any other fleets have a chance of off-routing, but should still be able to reach the boss node most of the time as long as there are at least 3 DD and 1 AV in the fleet.
*Using a fleet that meets one of the following requirements will avoid the chance of off-routing from {{MapRoute|F|red}} to {{MapRoute|H|green}}:
** '''AV + CL + CV(B/L) ≥ 1'''
** '''AS ≥ 1 and SS(V) ≥ 2'''
** '''AO ≥ 1 and DD+DE ≥ 2'''
*Bringing at least 1 AV/AO and 2DD/DE avoids off-routing entirely when rolling the southern route.
*Bringing 4 or more heavy ships ((F)BB(V)/CV(B/L)) will start reducing the chances of reaching the boss.
*Fleet that contains only SS(V) has a chance of reaching dead-end nodes {{MapRoute|H|green|M|red}}.

===Recommended Fleets===

Help:Ship Farming (Advanced)

2025-07-31T05:11:49Z

Minhfongboy: /* Other limited drops */

This article aims to provide advice on the better ways to farm for certain ships in order to use them as [[Modernization]] fodder. Those ships notably include:
*[[#Maruyu|Maruyu]] for luck modding
*[[#DE|DE]] for HP/ASW/Luck modding

=Maruyu=
[[Maruyu Kai]] is the best way to reliably modernize the luck of any ship in the game.
*{{details|Modernization#Maruyu|l1=Maruyu modding}}

==LSC==
Maruyu is a reliable [[LSC]] craft
*She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
*Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
*[[LSC]] attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.

<th colspan=6></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=6>
;Notes
* Unlike other recipes, the number of free docks should be minimum (ideally 1).
</td>
</tr>
</table>

==Sorties==
Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is generally cheaper than the [[LSC]] cost.

[[File:Maruyu table MFB.png|1200px|thumb|center|Summary of the efficiency of dropping Maruyu compared to LSC (Click the picture to enlarge it)]]

To sum up, the efficiency of getting [[Maruyu]] are as the following (from top to bottom):
*Farming [[3-5]] '''in LD or Post-clear'''
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''none of her'''
*Farming [[6-2]]
*[[LSC]]
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''at least 1 of her'''.

===3-5===
[[3-5]] is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downsides are the morale drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and the low amount of ranking points awarded.
*It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

[[3-5#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:auto"
! Enemy Compositions
! HQ ≥ 85
! HQ ≤ 84
|-
! {{Enemy/Banner|Northern Princess/III|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress/II|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Heavy Cruiser Ri-Class/Flagship|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Destroyer Ro-Class/Late Model|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Destroyer Ro-Class/Late Model|small=true}}

*This means it is '''impossible to get her here if the HQ is 84 or lower'''.

{{FleetGuide
| Map = 3-5 Farming
| Fleet = '''1 (F)BB(V), 3 CVL, 2 CAV/AV'''

Fleet setup reference: [https://jervis.vercel.app/en?p=JDmhr37h5Do]

Node {{MapRoute|H|red}} flagship is a soft-skin {{Enemy/Link|Northern Princess V|text=installation|link=installation}}, requiring equipment such as {{AA Shell}} [[AA Shell]]s and {{Landing Craft}}{{Amphibious Tank}} [[Landing Equipment]].

It is recommended to bring a {{Class|Nelson}} to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|D|red}}.

The CAV/AV should be preferably {{Ship/Link|Mogami Kai Ni Toku|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|link_class=Mogami|text=''Mogami''-class Kai Ni Toku}}.

As the final node is a resource node, it is possible to continue the sortie even when being taiha on {{MapRoute|H|red}}.

The use of {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}} and {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} are recommended in order to boost the {{ammo}} ammo gain on the final node. The best combination to use while keeping the clear rate high is 2 pairs of {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} + {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}, which will raise the amount gained from a base of 50 to '''142''' (+1~10 gain when improved).
}}

----

===4-5===
[[4-5]] has one of the cheapest comps to farm [[Maruyu]] and awards a large amount of ranking points relatively quickly. The main downside is the drop rate is reduced significantly when owning any copies of her.

[[4-5#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:auto"
! Enemy Compositions
! 0 Maruyu
! 1+ Maruyu
|-
! {{Enemy/Banner|Harbour Princess/II|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress/II|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Battleship Ru-Class/Kai Flagship|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Heavy Cruiser Ne-Class/Elite|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Transport Ship Wa-Class/Flagship|small=true}}

| 3% || 1.85%
|-
! ''All Other Enemy Compositions''
| 2% || 0.85%
|}

Therefore, it's only recommended to farm [[Maruyu]] here '''with 0 owned copies''' in the base.

| AS = 207
| Note =
Node {{MapRoute|T|red}} flagship is a soft-skin installation {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II|text=Harbour Princess|link=installation}}, requiring equipment such as {{AA Shell}} [[AA Shell]]s and {{Landing Craft}}{{Amphibious Tank}} [[Landing Equipment]] to deal with her.

2 DDs should be capable of carrying {{Landing Craft}}/{{Amphibious Tank}} '''and''' {{Extra Armor}} Armor Bulges to increase the pass rate. They should also be able to do decent [[OASW]] damage to deal with submarines. Therefore, the best setup for them should be '''a strong special DLC/Tank + {{Sonar}}Sonar + 2 Bulges''' (One bulge in RE).
*As of January 2025, the most effective special DLC/Tank that can deal with {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II}} '''alone''' (Hitting the day cap of 220 base damage before armor) are as follows (From strongest to weakest):
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III Ausf. J}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Type 1 Gun Tank}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III (North African Specification)}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}
*If '''married, it's possible to perform [[OASW]] with only 1 sonar'''. If not married, it's recommended to '''prioritize {{Sonar}}Sonar + {{Depth Charge}}Depth Charge setup to enable it, removing one bulge''' to keep the passing rate high.
The last DD should be the one doing AACI duty, preferably {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}} as she has an extra slot to bring along an extra [[WG42]] as well.
*If she is married and is a high enough level, she can also OASW with 1 sonar and help with the sub node.
For the comp using {{Class|Nelson}}, it's best to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|H|red}}.
*As a result of using only one carrier filled with [[Jet]]s, AS/AS+ isn't possible, so it's best to settle with AP.
All comps listed above have some upsides and downsides mainly due to the usage of [[Jet]]s, so it's up to players to decide which comp is best for them:
*The comps with 3-4 [[Jet]]s generally '''has a higher passing rate''', which also helps reduce the chance of taking damage, and '''lower the Fuel, Ammo, and Bauxite usage''' in general. In exchange, there is a '''50% higher Steel cost compared to min LSC'''.
**This is generally not a problem for players who spam Tokyo Express [[Expedition]]s a lot. Furthermore, steel isn't used much over time anyway.
*On the other hand, the comp without [[Jet]]s are '''more efficient for all resource in the long run''' as you will spend less of them for the same rate of [[Maruyu]] as min LSC (assuming no owned copies of her when farming here, as having her copy would reduce her rate significantly). But '''the passing rate for these comps are also lower'''.

===6-2===

This map is pretty simple and straight forward as you get better passing rate if your ships have higher armor, so for DDs, just stack all the bulges on them.
}}

=DE=
[[DE]] are the best way to modernize the HP of any ship in the game, as well as the only way to modernize ASW and a good way to modernize Luck.
*{{details|Modernization#Coastal Defense Ships|l1=DE modding}}

==Sorties==
*DE can only be obtained via drops, and only [[Limited Drop|limited time drops]] so far. Thus, there is almost no truly reliable way to farm them.
*Unlike any other ship type in the game, DE are subject to unique drop cap behavior, similar to overfishing.
**To farm for them efficiently, knowing how their drop mechanic works is important.
***Having more than 3 duplicates of a certain DE will decrease its drop rate on all maps.
***Using an individual DE as fodder 10+ times will start decreasing its drop rate on all maps, as seen in map 1-3. It's safe to assume the same counter is applied for map 7-4.
**{{details|Drop#Overfishing Cap|l1=Overfishing Cap}}

===7-4===
So far, only [[7-4]] has a constant set of DE drops, making it a reliable farming location.

[[7-4#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
*The drop rate of all DE here depends on the above-mentioned drop behaviors, as well as the current limited drop pool.
*To check their drop rate, please refer to KcNav or PoiDB.

{{FleetGuide
| Map = 7-4 Farming
| Fleet = '''{{ShipLink|Zuihou Kai Ni B|Ryuuhou Kai Ni E|text=Zuihou and Ryuuhou Kai Ni B/E}}, 1 CL, 3 DD

| LOS = Cn4: 37
| Route = {{MapRoute|A|blue|B|red|E|pink|J|red|L|red|P|red}}
| AS = 146
| Note = '''5 [[OASW]] (with 4 being strong)''' is the absolute minimum requirement to stabilize the route. Fewer than 5 will increase the retreat rate.
*A "strong OASW" is defined as a setup utilizing [[ASW Synergy]] ([[Small Sonar]] + [[Depth Charge]]).
*It is important to keep in mind that most retreats here are due to submarines. Especially at '''HQ 120''' where 7-4 is mutated into its last scaling stage, changing the enemy patterns and stats, making farming more difficult if lacking enough strong OASW. An example of these changes are as the following:
**Node J always has 3 {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}
**The boss gains more armor
**The boss node in LD always has a {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}

[[CVE]] should be either Zuihou or Ryuuhou for OASW. While not as strong as the strong OASW setup above, they can still sink some weaker submarines on the way.<br>

An [[AACI]] DD is recommended (usually {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}}) to disable the boss and pass node {{MapRoute|E|pink}} on the way.

All DE have '''damage, accuracy, and evasion bonuses''' here, so they can be a good option to bring along. One of them can be used as flagship to get as much EXP as possible, making this map '''one of the best options to grind them'''.<br>

[[Shigure]] also has '''great accuracy and evasion bonuses''' (but no damage bonus), being the only DD with any bonus here, making her a great DD pick when paired with her above mentioned RE capability.

| Range = {{MapRoute|E|red}}: 2, {{MapRoute|P|red}}(Boss): 5
| LBASS = 148
| NoteLBAS = The LBAS should have 4 fighters that will never be pulled out of this LBAS and {{color|red|'''never resupplied'''}}. Their slots will never go below 3 and can continue sortieing to keep the cost cheap.
*In this map, split the attacks and '''target both node''' {{MapRoute|E|pink}} '''and the boss node''' {{MapRoute|P|red}} for the best efficiency.

*[[#Maruyu|Maruyu]] for luck modding
*[[#DE|DE]] for HP/ASW/Luck modding

=Maruyu=
[[Maruyu Kai]] is the best way to reliably modernize the luck of any ship in the game.
*{{details|Modernization#Maruyu|l1=Maruyu modding}}

==LSC==
Maruyu is a reliable [[LSC]] craft
*She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
*Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
*[[LSC]] attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.

==Sorties==
Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is generally cheaper than the [[LSC]] cost.

[[File:Maruyu table MFB.png|1200px|thumb|center|Summary of the efficiency of dropping Maruyu compared to LSC (Click the picture to enlarge it)]]

To sum up, the efficiency of getting [[Maruyu]] are as the following (from top to bottom):
*Farming [[3-5]] '''in LD or Post-clear'''
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''none of her'''
*Farming [[6-2]]
*[[LSC]]
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''at least 1 of her'''.

===3-5===
[[3-5]] is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downsides are the morale drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and the low amount of ranking points awarded.
*It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

The CAV/AV should be preferably {{Ship/Link|Mogami Kai Ni Toku|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|link_class=Mogami|text=''Mogami''-class Kai Ni Toku}}.

As the final node is a resource node, it is possible to continue the sortie even when being taiha on {{MapRoute|H|red}}.

The use of {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}} and {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} are recommended in order to boost the {{ammo}} ammo gain on the final node. The best combination to use while keeping the clear rate high is 2 pairs of {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} + {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}, which will raise the amount gained from a base of 50 to '''142''' (+1~10 gain when improved).

===4-5===
[[4-5]] has one of the cheapest comps to farm [[Maruyu]] and awards a large amount of ranking points relatively quickly. The main downside is the drop rate is reduced significantly when owning any copies of her.

2 DDs should be capable of carrying {{Landing Craft}}/{{Amphibious Tank}} '''and''' {{Extra Armor}} Armor Bulges to increase the pass rate. They should also be able to do decent [[OASW]] damage to deal with submarines. Therefore, the best setup for them should be '''a strong special DLC/Tank + {{Sonar}}Sonar + 2 Bulges''' (One bulge in RE).
*As of January 2025, the most effective special DLC/Tank that can deal with {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II}} '''alone''' (Hitting the day cap of 220 base damage before armor) are as follows (From strongest to weakest):
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III Ausf. J}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Type 1 Gun Tank}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III (North African Specification)}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}
*If '''married, it's possible to perform [[OASW]] with only 1 sonar'''. If not married, it's recommended to '''prioritize {{Sonar}}Sonar + {{Depth Charge}}Depth Charge setup to enable it, removing one bulge''' to keep the passing rate high.
The last DD should be the one doing AACI duty, preferably {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}} as she has an extra slot to bring along an extra [[WG42]] as well.
*If she is married and is a high enough level, she can also OASW with 1 sonar and help with the sub node.
For the comp using {{Class|Nelson}}, it's best to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|H|red}}.
*As a result of using only one carrier filled with [[Jet]]s, AS/AS+ isn't possible, so it's best to settle with AP.
All comps listed above have some upsides and downsides mainly due to the usage of [[Jet]]s, so it's up to players to decide which comp is best for them:
*The comps with 3-4 [[Jet]]s generally '''has a higher passing rate''', which also helps reduce the chance of taking damage, and '''lower the Fuel, Ammo, and Bauxite usage''' in general. In exchange, there is a '''50% higher Steel cost compared to min LSC'''.
**This is generally not a problem for players who spam Tokyo Express [[Expedition]]s a lot. Furthermore, steel isn't used much over time anyway.
*On the other hand, the comp without [[Jet]]s are '''more efficient for all resource in the long run''' as you will spend less of them for the same rate of [[Maruyu]] as min LSC (assuming no owned copies of her when farming here, as having her copy would reduce her rate significantly). But '''the passing rate for these comps are also lower'''.

*Unlike any other ship type in the game, DE are subject to unique drop cap behavior, similar to overfishing.
**To farm for them efficiently, knowing how their drop mechanic works is important.

*It is important to keep in mind that most retreats here are due to submarines.

**The boss gains more armor
**The boss node in LD always has a {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}

[[CVE]] should be either Zuihou or Ryuuhou for OASW. While not as strong as the strong OASW setup above, they can still sink some weaker submarines on the way.<br>

An [[AACI]] DD is recommended (usually {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}}) to disable the boss and pass node {{MapRoute|E|pink}} on the way.

All DE have '''damage, accuracy, and evasion bonuses''' here, so they can be a good option to bring along. One of them can be used as flagship to get as much EXP as possible, making this map '''one of the best options to grind them'''.<br>

Help:Ship Farming (Advanced)

2025-07-12T07:23:16Z

Minhfongboy: /* Other limited drops */

This article aims to provide advice on the better ways to farm for certain ships in order to use them as [[Modernization]] fodder. Those ships notably include:
*[[#Maruyu|Maruyu]] for luck modding
*[[#DE|DE]] for HP/ASW/Luck modding

=Maruyu=
[[Maruyu Kai]] is the best way to reliably modernize the luck of any ship in the game.
*{{details|Modernization#Maruyu|l1=Maruyu modding}}

==LSC==
Maruyu is a reliable [[LSC]] craft
*She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
*Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
*[[LSC]] attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.

<tr>
<th colspan=6></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=6>
;Notes
* Unlike other recipes, the number of free docks should be minimum (ideally 1).
</td>
</tr>
</table>

==Sorties==
Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is generally cheaper than the [[LSC]] cost.

[[File:Maruyu table MFB.png|1200px|thumb|center|Summary of the efficiency of dropping Maruyu compared to LSC (Click the picture to enlarge it)]]

To sum up, the efficiency of getting [[Maruyu]] are as the following (from top to bottom):
*Farming [[3-5]] '''in LD or Post-clear'''
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''none of her'''
*Farming [[6-2]]
*[[LSC]]
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''at least 1 of her'''.

===3-5===
[[3-5]] is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downsides are the morale drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and the low amount of ranking points awarded.
*It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

[[3-5#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:auto"

*This means it is '''impossible to get her here if the HQ is 84 or lower'''.

{{FleetGuide

It is recommended to bring a {{Class|Nelson}} to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|D|red}}.

The CAV/AV should be preferably {{Ship/Link|Mogami Kai Ni Toku|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|link_class=Mogami|text=''Mogami''-class Kai Ni Toku}}.

As the final node is a resource node, it is possible to continue the sortie even when being taiha on {{MapRoute|H|red}}.

The use of {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}} and {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} are recommended in order to boost the {{ammo}} ammo gain on the final node. The best combination to use while keeping the clear rate high is 2 pairs of {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} + {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}, which will raise the amount gained from a base of 50 to '''142''' (+1~10 gain when improved).
}}

===4-5===
[[4-5]] has one of the cheapest comps to farm [[Maruyu]] and awards a large amount of ranking points relatively quickly. The main downside is the drop rate is reduced significantly when owning any copies of her.

[[4-5#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:auto"
! Enemy Compositions
! 0 Maruyu
! 1+ Maruyu
|-
! {{Enemy/Banner|Harbour Princess/II|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress/II|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Battleship Ru-Class/Kai Flagship|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Heavy Cruiser Ne-Class/Elite|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Transport Ship Wa-Class/Flagship|small=true}}

| 3% || 1.85%
|-
! ''All Other Enemy Compositions''
| 2% || 0.85%

Therefore, it's only recommended to farm [[Maruyu]] here '''with 0 owned copies''' in the base.

*She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
*Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
*[[LSC]] attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.

Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is generally cheaper than the [[LSC]] cost.

[[File:Maruyu table MFB.png|1200px|thumb|center|Summary of the efficiency of dropping Maruyu compared to LSC (Click the picture to enlarge it)]]

To sum up, the efficiency of getting [[Maruyu]] are as the following (from top to bottom):
*Farming [[3-5]] '''in LD or Post-clear'''
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''none of her'''
*Farming [[6-2]]
*[[LSC]]
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''at least 1 of her'''.

===3-5===
[[3-5]] is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downsides are the morale drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and the low amount of ranking points awarded.
*It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

The use of {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}} and {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} are recommended in order to boost the {{ammo}} ammo gain on the final node.

2 DDs should be capable of carrying {{Landing Craft}}/{{Amphibious Tank}} '''and''' {{Extra Armor}} Armor Bulges to increase the pass rate. They should also be able to do decent [[OASW]] damage to deal with submarines. Therefore, the best setup for them should be '''a strong special DLC/Tank + {{Sonar}}Sonar + 2 Bulges''' (One bulge in RE).
*As of January 2025, the most effective special DLC/Tank that can deal with {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II}} '''alone''' (Hitting the day cap of 220 base damage before armor) are as follows (From strongest to weakest):

*If she is married and is a high enough level, she can also OASW with 1 sonar and help with the sub node.
For the comp using {{Class|Nelson}}, it's best to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|H|red}}.
*As a result of using only one carrier filled with [[Jet]]s, AS/AS+ isn't possible, so it's best to settle with AP.
All comps listed above have some upsides and downsides mainly due to the usage of [[Jet]]s, so it's up to players to decide which comp is best for them:
*The comps with 3-4 [[Jet]]s generally '''has a higher passing rate''', which also helps reduce the chance of taking damage, and '''lower the Fuel, Ammo, and Bauxite usage''' in general. In exchange, there is a '''50% higher Steel cost compared to min LSC'''.
**This is generally not a problem for players who spam Tokyo Express [[Expedition]]s a lot. Furthermore, steel isn't used much over time anyway.
*On the other hand, the comp without [[Jet]]s are '''more efficient for all resource in the long run''' as you will spend less of them for the same rate of [[Maruyu]] as min LSC (assuming no owned copies of her when farming here, as having her copy would reduce her rate significantly). But '''the passing rate for these comps are also lower'''.

*It is important to keep in mind that most retreats here are due to submarines. Especially at '''HQ 120''' where 7-4 is mutated into its last scaling stage, changing the enemy patterns and stats, making farming more difficult if lacking enough strong OASW. An example of these changes are as the following:
**Node J always has 3 {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}
**The boss gains more armor
**The boss node in LD always has a {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}

[[CVE]] should be either Zuihou or Ryuuhou for OASW. While not as strong as the strong OASW setup above, they can still sink some weaker submarines on the way.<br>

An [[AACI]] DD is recommended (usually {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}}) to disable the boss and pass node {{MapRoute|E|pink}} on the way.

All DE have '''damage, accuracy, and evasion bonuses''' here, so they can be a good option to bring along. One of them can be used as flagship to get as much EXP as possible, making this map '''one of the best options to grind them'''.<br>

[[Shigure]] also has '''great accuracy and evasion bonuses''' (but no damage bonus), being the only DD with any bonus here, making her a great DD pick when paired with her above mentioned RE capability.

[[CVE]] should be either Zuihou or Ryuuhou for OASW. While not as strong as the strong OASW setup above, they can still sink some weaker submarines on the way.<br>

An [[AACI]] DD is recommended (usually {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}}) to disable the boss and pass node {{MapRoute|E|pink}} on the way.

All DE have '''damage, accuracy, and evasion bonuses''' here, so they can be a good option to bring along. One of them can be used as flagship to get as much EXP as possible, making this map '''one of the best options to grind them'''.<br>

[[Shigure]] also has '''great accuracy and evasion bonuses''' (but no damage bonus), being the only DD with any bonus here, making her a great DD pick when paired with her above mentioned RE capability.

Minhfongboy: /* Other limited drops */

This article aims to provide advice on the better ways to farm for certain ships in order to use them as [[Modernization]] fodder. Those ships notably include:
*[[#Maruyu|Maruyu]] for luck modding
*[[#DE|DE]] for HP/ASW/Luck modding

=Maruyu=
[[Maruyu Kai]] is the best way to reliably modernize the luck of any ship in the game.
*{{details|Modernization#Maruyu|l1=Maruyu modding}}

==LSC==
Maruyu is a reliable [[LSC]] craft
*She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
*Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
*[[LSC]] attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.

==Sorties==
Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is generally cheaper than the [[LSC]] cost.

[[File:Maruyu table MFB.png|1200px|thumb|center|Summary of the efficiency of dropping Maruyu compared to LSC (Click the picture to enlarge it)]]

To sum up, the efficiency of getting [[Maruyu]] are as the following (from top to bottom):
*Farming [[3-5]] '''in LD or Post-clear'''
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''none of her'''
*Farming [[6-2]]
*[[LSC]]
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''at least 1 of her'''.

===3-5===
[[3-5]] is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downsides are the morale drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and the low amount of ranking points awarded.
*It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

[[3-5#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:auto"

! HQ ≥ 85
! HQ ≤ 84

*This means it is '''impossible to get her here if the HQ is 84 or lower'''.

{{FleetGuide
| Map = 3-5 Farming
| Fleet = '''1 (F)BB(V), 3 CVL, 2 CAV/AV'''

Fleet setup reference: [https://jervis.vercel.app/en?p=JDmhr37h5Do]

Node {{MapRoute|H|red}} flagship is a soft-skin {{Enemy/Link|Northern Princess V|text=installation|link=installation}}, requiring equipment such as {{AA Shell}} [[AA Shell]]s and {{Landing Craft}}{{Amphibious Tank}} [[Landing Equipment]].

It is recommended to bring a {{Class|Nelson}} to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|D|red}}.

The CAV/AV should be preferably {{Ship/Link|Mogami Kai Ni Toku|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|link_class=Mogami|text=''Mogami''-class Kai Ni Toku}}.

As the final node is a resource node, it is possible to continue the sortie even when being taiha on {{MapRoute|H|red}}.

The use of {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}} and {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} are recommended in order to boost the {{ammo}} ammo gain on the final node. The best combination to use while keeping the clear rate high is 2 pairs of {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} + {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}, which will raise the amount gained from a base of 50 to '''142''' (+1~10 gain when improved).
}}

===4-5===
[[4-5]] has one of the cheapest comps to farm [[Maruyu]] and awards a large amount of ranking points relatively quickly. The main downside is the drop rate is reduced significantly when owning any copies of her.

[[4-5#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:auto"
! Enemy Compositions
! 0 Maruyu
! 1+ Maruyu
|-
! {{Enemy/Banner|Harbour Princess/II|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Escort Fortress/II|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Battleship Ru-Class/Kai Flagship|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Heavy Cruiser Ne-Class/Elite|small=true}}{{Enemy/Banner|Transport Ship Wa-Class/Flagship|small=true}}

| 3% || 1.85%
|-
! ''All Other Enemy Compositions''
| 2% || 0.85%
|}

Therefore, it's only recommended to farm [[Maruyu]] here '''with 0 owned copies''' in the base.

| AS = 207
| Note =
Node {{MapRoute|T|red}} flagship is a soft-skin installation {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II|text=Harbour Princess|link=installation}}, requiring equipment such as {{AA Shell}} [[AA Shell]]s and {{Landing Craft}}{{Amphibious Tank}} [[Landing Equipment]] to deal with her.

2 DDs should be capable of carrying {{Landing Craft}}/{{Amphibious Tank}} '''and''' {{Extra Armor}} Armor Bulges to increase the pass rate. They should also be able to do decent [[OASW]] damage to deal with submarines. Therefore, the best setup for them should be '''a strong special DLC/Tank + {{Sonar}}Sonar + 2 Bulges''' (One bulge in RE).
*As of January 2025, the most effective special DLC/Tank that can deal with {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II}} '''alone''' (Hitting the day cap of 220 base damage before armor) are as follows (From strongest to weakest):
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III Ausf. J}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Type 1 Gun Tank}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III (North African Specification)}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}
*If '''married, it's possible to perform [[OASW]] with only 1 sonar'''. If not married, it's recommended to '''prioritize {{Sonar}}Sonar + {{Depth Charge}}Depth Charge setup to enable it, removing one bulge''' to keep the passing rate high.
The last DD should be the one doing AACI duty, preferably {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}} as she has an extra slot to bring along an extra [[WG42]] as well.
*If she is married and is a high enough level, she can also OASW with 1 sonar and help with the sub node.
For the comp using {{Class|Nelson}}, it's best to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|H|red}}.
*As a result of using only one carrier filled with [[Jet]]s, AS/AS+ isn't possible, so it's best to settle with AP.
All comps listed above have some upsides and downsides mainly due to the usage of [[Jet]]s, so it's up to players to decide which comp is best for them:
*The comps with 3-4 [[Jet]]s generally '''has a higher passing rate''', which also helps reduce the chance of taking damage, and '''lower the Fuel, Ammo, and Bauxite usage''' in general. In exchange, there is a '''50% higher Steel cost compared to min LSC'''.
**This is generally not a problem for players who spam Tokyo Express [[Expedition]]s a lot. Furthermore, steel isn't used much over time anyway.
*On the other hand, the comp without [[Jet]]s are '''more efficient for all resource in the long run''' as you will spend less of them for the same rate of [[Maruyu]] as min LSC (assuming no owned copies of her when farming here, as having her copy would reduce her rate significantly). But '''the passing rate for these comps are also lower'''.

===6-2===
[[6-2#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]: 2.0 %

{{FleetGuide

The recommended CAV/AV are {{Ship/Link|Mogami Kai Ni Toku|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|link_class=Mogami|text=''Mogami''-class Kai Ni Toku}} for opening torp and Night Zuiun attack.

This map is pretty simple and straight forward as you get better passing rate if your ships have higher armor, so for DDs, just stack all the bulges on them.
}}

=DE=
[[DE]] are the best way to modernize the HP of any ship in the game, as well as the only way to modernize ASW and a good way to modernize Luck.
*{{details|Modernization#Coastal Defense Ships|l1=DE modding}}

==Sorties==
*DE can only be obtained via drops, and only [[Limited Drop|limited time drops]] so far. Thus, there is almost no truly reliable way to farm them.
*Unlike any other ship type in the game, DE are subject to unique drop cap behavior, similar to overfishing.
**To farm for them efficiently, knowing how their drop mechanic works is important.
***Having more than 3 duplicates of a certain DE will decrease its drop rate on all maps.
***Using an individual DE as fodder 10+ times will start decreasing its drop rate on all maps, as seen in map 1-3. It's safe to assume the same counter is applied for map 7-4.
**{{details|Drop#Overfishing Cap|l1=Overfishing Cap}}

===7-4===
So far, only [[7-4]] has a constant set of DE drops, making it a reliable farming location.

[[7-4#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
*The drop rate of all DE here depends on the above-mentioned drop behaviors, as well as the current limited drop pool.
*To check their drop rate, please refer to KcNav or PoiDB.

{{FleetGuide

| Route = {{MapRoute|A|blue|B|red|E|pink|J|red|L|red|P|red}}
| AS = 146
| Note = '''5 [[OASW]] (with 4 being strong)''' is the absolute minimum requirement to stabilize the route. Fewer than 5 will increase the retreat rate.
*A "strong OASW" is defined as a setup utilizing [[ASW Synergy]] ([[Small Sonar]] + [[Depth Charge]]).
*It is important to keep in mind that most retreats here are due to submarines. Especially at '''HQ 120''' where 7-4 is mutated into its last scaling stage, changing the enemy patterns and stats, making farming more difficult if lacking enough strong OASW. An example of these changes are as the following:
**Node J always has 3 {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}
**The boss gains more armor
**The boss node in LD always has a {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}

[[CVE]] should be either Zuihou or Ryuuhou for OASW. While not as strong as the strong OASW setup above, they can still sink some weaker submarines on the way.<br>

An [[AACI]] DD is recommended (usually {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}}) to disable the boss and pass node {{MapRoute|E|pink}} on the way.

All DE have '''damage, accuracy, and evasion bonuses''' here, so they can be a good option to bring along. One of them can be used as flagship to get as much EXP as possible, making this map '''one of the best options to grind them'''.<br>

[[Shigure]] also has '''great accuracy and evasion bonuses''' (but no damage bonus), being the only DD with any bonus here, making her a great DD pick when paired with her above mentioned RE capability.

*As a result of using only one carrier filled with [[Jet]]s, AS/AS+ isn't possible, so it's best to settle with AP.
All comps listed above have some upsides and downsides mainly due to the usage of [[Jet]]s, so it's up to players to decide which comp is best for them:
*The comps with 3-4 [[Jet]]s generally '''has a higher passing rate''', which also helps reduce the chance of taking damage, and '''lower the Fuel, Ammo, and Bauxite usage''' in general. In exchange, there is a '''50% higher Steel cost compared to min LSC'''.
**This is generally not a problem for players who spam Tokyo Express [[Expedition]]s a lot. Furthermore, steel isn't used much over time anyway.
*On the other hand, the comp without [[Jet]]s are '''more efficient for all resource in the long run''' as you will spend less of them for the same rate of [[Maruyu]] as min LSC (assuming no owned copies of her when farming here, as having her copy would reduce her rate significantly). But '''the passing rate for these comps are also lower'''.

**To farm for them efficiently, knowing how their drop mechanic works is important.

An example of these changes are as the following:
**Node J always has 3 {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}
**The boss gains more armor
**The boss node in LD always has a {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}

[[CVE]] should be either Zuihou or Ryuuhou for OASW. While not as strong as the strong OASW setup above, they can still sink some weaker submarines on the way.<br>

An [[AACI]] DD is recommended (usually {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}}) to disable the boss and pass node {{MapRoute|E|pink}} on the way.

All DE have '''damage, accuracy, and evasion bonuses''' here, so they can be a good option to bring along. One of them can be used as flagship to get as much EXP as possible, making this map '''one of the best options to grind them'''.<br>

*[[#Maruyu|Maruyu]] for luck modding
*[[#DE|DE]] for HP/ASW/Luck modding

=Maruyu=
[[Maruyu Kai]] is the best way to reliably modernize the luck of any ship in the game.
*{{details|Modernization#Maruyu|l1=Maruyu modding}}

==LSC==
Maruyu is a reliable [[LSC]] craft
*She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
*Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
*[[LSC]] attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.

==Sorties==
Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is generally cheaper than the [[LSC]] cost.

[[File:Maruyu table MFB.png|1200px|thumb|center|Summary of the efficiency of dropping Maruyu compared to LSC (Click the picture to enlarge it)]]

To sum up, the efficiency of getting [[Maruyu]] are as the following (from top to bottom):
*Farming [[3-5]] '''in LD or Post-clear'''
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''none of her'''
*Farming [[6-2]]
*[[LSC]]
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''at least 1 of her'''.

===3-5===
[[3-5]] is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downsides are the morale drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and the low amount of ranking points awarded.
*It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

The CAV/AV should be preferably {{Ship/Link|Mogami Kai Ni Toku|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|link_class=Mogami|text=''Mogami''-class Kai Ni Toku}}.

As the final node is a resource node, it is possible to continue the sortie even when being taiha on {{MapRoute|H|red}}.

The use of {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}} and {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} are recommended in order to boost the {{ammo}} ammo gain on the final node. The best combination to use while keeping the clear rate high is 2 pairs of {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} + {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}, which will raise the amount gained from a base of 50 to '''142''' (+1~10 gain when improved).

===4-5===
[[4-5]] has one of the cheapest comps to farm [[Maruyu]] and awards a large amount of ranking points relatively quickly. The main downside is the drop rate is reduced significantly when owning any copies of her.

*As a result of using only one carrier filled with [[Jet]]s, AS/AS+ isn't possible, so it's best to settle with AP.
All comps listed above have some upsides and downsides mainly due to the usage of [[Jet]]s, so it's up to players to decide which comp is best for them:
*The comps with 3-4 [[Jet]]s generally '''has a higher passing rate''', which also helps reduce the chance of taking damage, and '''lower the Fuel, Ammo, and Bauxite usage''' in general. In exchange, there is a '''50% higher Steel cost compared to min LSC'''.
**This is generally not a problem for players who spam Tokyo Express [[Expedition]]s a lot. Furthermore, steel isn't used much over time anyway.
*On the other hand, the comp without [[Jet]]s are '''more efficient for all resource in the long run''' as you will spend less of them for the same rate of [[Maruyu]] as min LSC (assuming no owned copies of her when farming here, as having her copy would reduce her rate significantly). But '''the passing rate for these comps are also lower'''.

Help:Ship Farming (Advanced)

2025-07-12T06:41:24Z

Minhfongboy: /* 2-3 Farming */

This article aims to provide advice on the better ways to farm for certain ships in order to use them as [[Modernization]] fodder. Those ships notably include:
*[[#Maruyu|Maruyu]] for luck modding
*[[#DE|DE]] for HP/ASW/Luck modding

=Maruyu=
[[Maruyu Kai]] is the best way to reliably modernize the luck of any ship in the game.
*{{details|Modernization#Maruyu|l1=Maruyu modding}}

==LSC==
Maruyu is a reliable [[LSC]] craft
*She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
*Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
*[[LSC]] attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.

==Sorties==
Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is generally cheaper than the [[LSC]] cost.

[[File:Maruyu table MFB.png|1200px|thumb|center|Summary of the efficiency of dropping Maruyu compared to LSC (Click the picture to enlarge it)]]

To sum up, the efficiency of getting [[Maruyu]] are as the following (from top to bottom):
*Farming [[3-5]] '''in LD or Post-clear'''
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''none of her'''
*Farming [[6-2]]
*[[LSC]]
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''at least 1 of her'''.

===3-5===
[[3-5]] is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downsides are the morale drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and the low amount of ranking points awarded.
*It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

The CAV/AV should be preferably {{Ship/Link|Mogami Kai Ni Toku|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|link_class=Mogami|text=''Mogami''-class Kai Ni Toku}}.

As the final node is a resource node, it is possible to continue the sortie even when being taiha on {{MapRoute|H|red}}.

The use of {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}} and {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} are recommended in order to boost the {{ammo}} ammo gain on the final node. The best combination to use while keeping the clear rate high is 2 pairs of {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} + {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}, which will raise the amount gained from a base of 50 to '''142''' (+1~10 gain when improved).

Minhfongboy: /* See Also */

{{CombatPortal}}
Dropping ships from [[node|combat nodes]] in sorties is the main way to obtain new girls in the game, with a majority of "good" ships being only obtainable this way.
*''See [[Drop List]] to view all the ship drop locations.

=Overview=
When scoring a victory on certain combat nodes, a ship might drop and be added to the ship list.
* Ship drops are always level 1 and on base remodel with no modernization.
* Having insufficient spare ship slots or equipment slots will prevent any drop (similar to ship construction).
* The drop tables of each map are listed here on the wiki, as well as on each map page and ship page, please refer to those tables for each situation.
**Those tables are an approximation, as they fuse all formations drop tables. For the exact formation drop tables, please use [https://tsunkit.net/nav KcNav] drop tables.

For a given node drop pool, each droppable ship will have a given base drop rate which is then affected by the factors detailed below:

;Combat Rank
* Ships only drop on S, A, and B ranks.
* Scoring a greater victory will usually yield more and better drops.
;Nodes
* Most nodes drop ships on higher ranks only (mostly "A and S only", or even "S only"),
* Normal nodes have a base rate of 30-40% to drop nothing,
** Some nodes will have a higher chance of dropping nothing,
** Some nodes do not drop ship in any situation (mostly minor event nodes),
* Boss nodes always drop ships (only applicable to the final boss on most multi-boss maps, and if the above-mentioned conditions are met),
**In the rare cases devs misimplement limited drops, it is possible to drop nothing even if all right conditions are met (notably if a drop cap is present with no proper replacement drop [https://discord.com/channels/749742270252843008/781602079319916546/1362111532300767404]).
;Enemy Formation
* Drop tables are not determined by the node only, but each enemy formation that can be encountered on the node.
**Some nodes have the same drop tables for all formations
* Usually, "easier" formations may not drop some rarer ships, and some ship may be locked to few or even a single formation.
;Specific Mechanic
* In the case of [[Drop List#Limited Time Drops|limited time drops]] on normal maps, they usually overlap or replace existing drop rates.
* Some individual drop rates might also be affected by [[#Drop Caps]], proportionally increasing the rest of the drop rates of the list.
* Some ships are affected by [[scrap]]ping, notably all DE and some limited ones (''see [[#Scrap Locking|below]]'').
* The difficulty ([[event]] only) changing the enemy formations, with better drops being limited to higher difficulties' formations.
**Casual & Easy: limited "rare drops" available,
**Medium: some "rare drops" available,
**Hard: all "rare drops" available.

Drops do '''NOT''' depend on:
*"Perfect S Victory", being exactly the same as a regular S rank.
*Items drops (e.g. [[Saury]]), where it is possible to drop both a ship and an item when applicable, the two being independent.
*Some "mercy/pity mechanic", improving the odds of dropping something after a given amount of attempts.
*Any direct effect of HQ level is currently unproven. However HQ level has an indirect effect as it affects enemy formation.

=Drop Caps=
The "drop cap" (only applicable for few ships), is when some "rarer/valuable" ships are limited in how many copies can be obtained. It is believed to be mostly node-based, but some reports suggest it can be also world-wide, or even game-wide. It can take the form of a "'''[[#Dupe Cap|Dupe Cap]]'''" or an "'''[[#Overfishing Cap|Overfishing Cap]]'''".
*This way, the majority of ships can be dropped an infinite amount of times (certain players have 200+ copies of a ship), but certain ships will have an arbitrary limit.
*Ships affected by a cap are notably replaced with "alternative drop slots" instead (''see [[#Drop Theory|below]]'').

==Dupe Cap==
The "'''Dupe Cap'''" is for how many duplicates of a ship can be '''possessed at once'''.
*This can also come in a diminishing drop rate as the amount of duplicates increases, with their drop rate falling to zero when this cap is reached, and being reseted back if the duplicates are "removed" (scrapped, fodder uses, sunk...), unless it is also affected by some "[[#Scrap Locking|Scrap Locking]]".
*Famously, for [[Akashi]] on [[2-5]]'s boss node, she will drop '''only''' if currently not possessed, meaning that duplicates cannot be dropped here (dupes are still possible on any other location).
*Usually, the amount of a given ship being possessed will affect the drop rate, the more ships the worse the rate, down to 0 %,
*''See [[#Dupe Cap List|below]] for a list of the known ships with such a cap.

===Dupe Cap List===
Ships who are known to be limited in how many dupes can be obtained, as of the {{GameUpdates|2025/06/27}} update.
*Do note that this list may be erroneous or not up to date.
*Some ships were known to be limited to zero dupes when they were introduced, but so far, all ships except Valiant can be duped at least once.
*Some ships may also have a diminishing drop rate, but no clear drop cap.
''Are listed below only ships who have never been recorded as more than a 5th dupe.
*''Some ships may have lower caps on some specific nodes.

==Overfishing Cap==
The "'''Overfishing Cap'''" is for how many duplicates of a ship can be '''dropped in a certain limit quantity and in a certain period of time'''.
*''So far only observed for some rarer ships and all [[Kaiboukan]]s [https://twitter.com/Sashimi91640578/status/1852977074488897829][https://twitter.com/Sashimi91640578/status/1852977245671076129][https://twitter.com/Sashimi91640578/status/1852977384565460998].
*This cap can be further exacerbated by "Scrapping" said ships.

===Scrap Locking===
It is currently believed that there is a system ("scrap locking") preventing players from obtaining a disproportionately high amount of some "rarer/valuable" ships.
*This system seems to target ships that specifically grant desirable equipment such as [[Prinz Eugen]], {{Class|Fletcher}}, [[USN]] battleships, and ships that have other desirable uses such as [[DE]] with [[Modernization#Special Modernizations|special modfodding]].
*This is assumed to be a way to nerf workarounds of the above-mentioned dupe limitations, notably scrapping ships as soon as their desirable equipment obtained, in order to keep a lower "dupe count" and so a better drop rate.

This system's inner workings are not fully understood, however, there is substantial evidence of its existence through statistical feasibility: [https://x.com/zekamashinet/status/1713210060938379475].
*"Scrapping" here refers to any way of "decommissioning" a ship, aka '''"[[Scrap|dismantling]]", "[[Modernization|modfodding]]", or "sinking"'''.

Currently, it is believed the system works in three different possible ways:
*Scrapping a ship will trigger a flag for a specific node, which prevents said node from dropping the ship (i.e. multiple users reported that scrapping Johnston made it impossible for them to obtain Johnston from the 2-3 limited boss drop specifically, whereas she would drop normally from other nodes). This flag is supposedly cleared after an arbitrary time has passed, allowing the ship to be obtained again.
*Scrapping a ship would not decrease the "dupe count" of a specific node, meaning that scrapping ships to enjoy a higher drop rate would not be possible (i.e. Iowa drops during the Winter 2018 Event, where no more than a total of 2 Iowas would be obtainable from the last boss node, whether still having them or not).
*A combination of the above-mentioned systems with some dupe. [[DE]] drops are notably suspected to behave similarly (''see [[#DE Drop Cap|below]]'')

===DE Drop Cap===
[[DE]] seem to be affected by a mix of "dupe limitation", "scrap locking", and an "hard drop limit".

;Possession Penalty
*When owning '''3 copies''' of a DE and farming for her 4th copy onwards, her drop rate will decrease. So try to '''keep 2 copies''' of each DE at most.

;Cumulative Penalty
*For every time that DE is '''scrapped, sunk, or used as fodder''', the game will add '''+1''' to the player's "cumulative decommission" counter for that DE. If this counter '''reaches 10 or higher''', that DE's drop rate will also be decreased.
**This counter is '''invisible and will keep going up for each DE''', making it really hard to get more copies of each given DE after a certain amount of copies have been removed, unless there is a '''"hard reset of drop pool"'''.
***So far, only one "hard reset of drop pool" has been observed, with the {{GameUpdates|2023/11/02}} update [https://x.com/shiroos/status/1738122210588647929]. When this reset happens, every player's '''cumulative penalties''' are reseted back to 0, allowing to farm for all DE with their normal rate. However, it is unknown when/if the devs will reset the drop pool again.
**The cumulative penalty effects depend on the map, some being more or less affected.
***For map [[1-3]], it kicks in when the counter is '''10 or higher''' [https://x.com/shiroos/status/1728817901686452653], for [[Early Spring 2024 Event]] E2 Boss, the effect kicked in when the counter was '''14 or higher''' [https://x.com/shiroos/status/1772304298669457604].
**There is no fixed amount for this counter as it may change, so the safest bet is still to try to keep the counter at '''9 or less''' to avoid the penalty.
**When cumulative penalty kicks in, it '''does not reduce that DE drop rate to 0%''', but might get close to it.

Both '''penalties''' applies to the player in '''every maps, including events''' (as seen in map [[2-3]] [https://x.com/shiroos/status/1772303252454854707] and [[Early Spring 2024 Event]] E2 Boss [https://x.com/Sashimi91640578/status/1807745269595025450]), so it is possible to exhaust a DE's drop rate, with no possibility to get anywherelse easier.

''For full details of how it works, please check out these articles: [https://note.com/shiroos/n/nc69eeb09585f], [https://note.com/shiroos/n/nf94178915b6c].

=Drop Theory=
On every map in the game, there are two tables determining the ship being dropped. One table is for the boss node and the other is for normal nodes. In regards to the drop mechanic if there are multiple boss nodes on the map (W7 or events), only the last one is considered a boss node and the other are considered normal nodes.

These tables have 100 rows numbered from 1 to 100 and each row contains a ship or is empty. A same ship can be on multiple rows. Boss tables never have empty rows.
*Note that rare ships are at the beginning of the table and the empty rows are always at the end.

Once the battle is finished, the process choosing the drop is as follows:
* The game rolls if there is a drop or not with the following rates:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
!rowspan=2|Rank!!colspan=2|Node type
|-
!Normal!!Boss
|-
!S
|70 %||rowspan=3|100 %
|-
!A
|60 %
|-
!B
|70 %
|-
!C / D / E
|colspan=2|0 %
|}

* Then the game rolls a random whole number between two boundaries included, depending on the victory rank, and adds a certain "offset".
** The offset is solely determined by the enemy formation, each one having a fixed offset,
** As a general rule, easier enemy formation, especially on normal nodes, have a higher offset.
{|style="padding:10px; margin:20px; border:1px solid orange; border-radius:10px"
|valign="center"| <math>ID = Rand[a;b] + \text{Offset}</math>
|}

{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
!rowspan=2|Rank!!colspan=2|Boundaries
|-
!a!!b
|-
!S
|1||50
|-
!A
|21||70
|-
!B
|51||100
|}

The resulting number <math>ID</math> determines which row of the drop table will be chosen.
*If the row is empty, there will be no drop, even if a drop was rolled.
[https://kancolle.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Fouryuu/Drop_Mechanics]

;Practical conclusion
* In a specific node, in a specific enemy formation, in a specific victory rank, 50 rows from the drop table will be selectable by the procedure and each one of them has a 2% chance to be selected.
* If a correctly filtered drop sample shows drop rates that are not multiple of 2%, that means these drops are conditional.

;Conditional Drops
In some cases, some rows in a table may have a second ship that will replace the normal drop when some conditions are met. This is notably used for the following mechanics:
* Limited time drop, when a ship is added to the list,
** This case can also rarely happen in events with some specific ships, in order to massively increase their drop rate as a gimmick.
* Drop caps, where a capped ship is faded out of the list in profit of a single other ship not being capped.

Minhfongboy: /* 7-4 */

This article aims to provide advice on the better ways to farm for certain ships in order to use them as [[Modernization]] fodder. Those ships notably include:
*[[#Maruyu|Maruyu]] for luck modding
*[[#DE|DE]] for HP/ASW/Luck modding

=Maruyu=
[[Maruyu Kai]] is the best way to reliably modernize the luck of any ship in the game.
*{{details|Modernization#Maruyu|l1=Maruyu modding}}

==LSC==
Maruyu is a reliable [[LSC]] craft
*She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
*Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
*[[LSC]] attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.

</table>

==Sorties==
Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is generally cheaper than the [[LSC]] cost.

[[File:Maruyu table MFB.png|1200px|thumb|center|Summary of the efficiency of dropping Maruyu compared to LSC (Click the picture to enlarge it)]]

To sum up, the efficiency of getting [[Maruyu]] are as the following (from top to bottom):
*Farming [[3-5]] '''in LD or Post-clear'''
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''none of her'''
*Farming [[6-2]]
*[[LSC]]
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''at least 1 of her'''.

===3-5===
[[3-5]] is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downsides are the morale drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and the low amount of ranking points awarded.
*It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

[[3-5#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:auto"

*This means it is '''impossible to get her here if the HQ is 84 or lower'''.

{{FleetGuide
| Map = 3-5 Farming

The CAV/AV should be preferably {{Ship/Link|Mogami Kai Ni Toku|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|link_class=Mogami|text=''Mogami''-class Kai Ni Toku}}.

As the final node is a resource node, it is possible to continue the sortie even when being taiha on {{MapRoute|H|red}}.

The use of {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}} and {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} are recommended in order to boost the {{ammo}} ammo gain on the final node. The best combination to use while keeping the clear rate high is 2 pairs of {{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft}} + {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}, which will raise the amount gained from a base of 50 to '''142''' (+1~10 gain when improved).
}}

===4-5===
[[4-5]] has one of the cheapest comps to farm [[Maruyu]] and awards a large amount of ranking points relatively quickly. The main downside is the drop rate is reduced significantly when owning any copies of her.

[[4-5#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:auto"

Therefore, it's only recommended to farm [[Maruyu]] here '''with 0 owned copies''' in the base.

| Note =
Node {{MapRoute|T|red}} flagship is a soft-skin installation {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II|text=Harbour Princess|link=installation}}, requiring equipment such as {{AA Shell}} [[AA Shell]]s and {{Landing Craft}}{{Amphibious Tank}} [[Landing Equipment]] to deal with her.

2 DDs should be capable of carrying {{Landing Craft}}/{{Amphibious Tank}} '''and''' {{Extra Armor}} Armor Bulges to increase the pass rate. They should also be able to do decent [[OASW]] damage to deal with submarines. Therefore, the best setup for them should be '''a strong special DLC/Tank + {{Sonar}}Sonar + 2 Bulges''' (One bulge in RE).
*As of January 2025, the most effective special DLC/Tank that can deal with {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II}} '''alone''' (Hitting the day cap of 220 base damage before armor) are as follows (From strongest to weakest):
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III Ausf. J}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Type 1 Gun Tank}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III (North African Specification)}}
**{{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}
*If '''married, it's possible to perform [[OASW]] with only 1 sonar'''. If not married, it's recommended to '''prioritize {{Sonar}}Sonar + {{Depth Charge}}Depth Charge setup to enable it, removing one bulge''' to keep the passing rate high.
The last DD should be the one doing AACI duty, preferably {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}} as she has an extra slot to bring along an extra [[WG42]] as well.
*If she is married and is a high enough level, she can also OASW with 1 sonar and help with the sub node.
For the comp using {{Class|Nelson}}, it's best to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|H|red}}.
*As a result of using only one carrier filled with [[Jet]]s, AS/AS+ isn't possible, so it's best to settle with AP.
All comps listed above have some upsides and downsides mainly due to the usage of [[Jet]]s, so it's up to players to decide which comp is best for them:
*The comps with 3-4 [[Jet]]s generally '''has a higher passing rate''', which also helps reduce the chance of taking damage, and '''lower the Fuel, Ammo, and Bauxite usage''' in general. In exchange, there is a '''50% higher Steel cost compared to min LSC'''.
**This is generally not a problem for players who spam Tokyo Express [[Expedition]]s a lot. Furthermore, steel isn't used much over time anyway.
*On the other hand, the comp without [[Jet]]s are '''more efficient for all resource in the long run''' as you will spend less of them for the same rate of [[Maruyu]] as min LSC (assuming no owned copies of her when farming here, as having her copy would reduce her rate significantly). But '''the passing rate for these comps are also lower'''.

This map is pretty simple and straight forward as you get better passing rate if your ships have higher armor, so for DDs, just stack all the bulges on them.
}}

=DE=
[[DE]] are the best way to modernize the HP of any ship in the game, as well as the only way to modernize ASW and a good way to modernize Luck.
*{{details|Modernization#Coastal Defense Ships|l1=DE modding}}

==Sorties==
*DE can only be obtained via drops, and only [[Limited Drop|limited time drops]] so far. Thus, there is almost no truly reliable way to farm them.
*Unlike any other ship type in the game, DE are subject to unique drop cap behavior, similar to overfishing.
**To farm for them efficiently, knowing how their drop mechanic works is important.
***Having more than 3 duplicates of a certain DE will decrease its drop rate on all maps.
***Using an individual DE as fodder 10+ times will start decreasing its drop rate on all maps, as seen in map 1-3. It's safe to assume the same counter is applied for map 7-4.
**{{details|Drop#Overfishing Cap|l1=Overfishing Cap}}

===7-4===
So far, only [[7-4]] has a constant set of DE drops, making it a reliable farming location.

[[7-4#Ship_Drops|Drop rate]]:
*The drop rate of all DE here depends on the above-mentioned drop behaviors, as well as the current limited drop pool.
*To check their drop rate, please refer to KcNav or PoiDB.

*A "strong OASW" is defined as a setup utilizing [[ASW Synergy]] ([[Small Sonar]] + [[Depth Charge]]).
*It is important to keep in mind that most retreats here are due to submarines. Especially at '''HQ 120''' where 7-4 is mutated into its last scaling stage, changing the enemy patterns and stats, making farming more difficult if lacking enough strong OASW. An example of these changes are as the following:
**Node J always has 3 {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}
**The boss gains more armor
**The boss node in LD always has a {{Enemy/Link|Submarine So-Class Flagship|text=So-Class Flagship}}

[[CVE]] should be either Zuihou or Ryuuhou for OASW. While not as strong as the strong OASW setup above, they can still sink some weaker submarines on the way.<br>

An [[AACI]] DD is recommended (usually {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}}) to disable the boss and pass node {{MapRoute|E|pink}} on the way.

All DE have '''damage, accuracy, and evasion bonuses''' here, so they can be a good option to bring along. One of them can be used as flagship to get as much EXP as possible, making this map '''one of the best options to grind them'''.<br>

[[Shigure]] also has '''great accuracy and evasion bonuses''' (but no damage bonus), being the only DD with any bonus here, making her a great DD pick when paired with her above mentioned RE capability.

Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is generally cheaper than the [[LSC]] cost.

[[File:Maruyu table MFB.png|1200px|thumb|center|Summary of the efficiency of dropping Maruyu compared to LSC (Click the picture to enlarge it)]]

To sum up, the efficiency of getting [[Maruyu]] are as the following (from top to bottom):
*Farming [[3-5]] '''in LD or Post-clear'''
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''none of her'''
*Farming [[6-2]]
*[[LSC]]
*Farming [[4-5]] when you own '''at least 1 of her'''.

===3-5===
[[3-5]] is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downsides are the morale drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and the low amount of ranking points awarded.
*It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

This article aims to provide advice on the better ways to farm for certain ships in order to use them as [[Modernization]] fodder. Those ships notably include:
*[[#Maruyu|Maruyu]] for luck modding
*[[#DE|DE]] for HP/ASW/Luck modding

=Maruyu=
[[Maruyu Kai]] is the best way to reliably modernize the luck of any ship in the game.
*{{details|Modernization#Maruyu|l1=Maruyu modding}}

==LSC==
Maruyu is a reliable [[LSC]] craft
*She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
*Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
*[[LSC]] attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.

Boss node always contains a transport ship to hunt so this map can be a great way to do {{color|green|'''weekly transport'''}}. The tradeoff is you can't really spam it much due to the high morale draining rate, so either you have to wait for a while to do it again or prepare a lot of this kind of fleet to do transport kill.

The simulator result assumes you will always lose fuel due to a maelstrom on the way. In practice, there is only 50 % chance of hitting this node.

*Also a good map to finish the Weekly World 3 quest.
You can even achieve better result by swapping the flagship between CAV and CL, keeping the sparkle for them to increase the pass rate.

Equipping radars on at least 3 ships will cause your fleet to lose less fuel on the maelstrom node {{MapRoute|D|purple}}.

Such DE {{color|blue|'''has the highest chance to trigger it'''}} with the {{color|blue|'''least chance'''}} of ending up at {{Taiha}} state, which helps increase passing rate.

When using such DE, you don't need to bucket them. Just repair them in the dock and swap them for another DEs if they are damaged. Assuming '''DE lv is less than 99, she would always have less than an hour of repairing'''. This helps reduce bucket usage<ref name="44dock"/>.

CVL with slot equals or less than 17 is preferred as they can't be shot down under AS+ fighter phase.

{{color|red|'''However, the map MUST BE LOCKED in the FINAL FORM to make enemy DDs disappear at the boss node, which will lock you out of {{ShipLink|Maruyu}} farming}}'''. But on the bright side, without enemy DD presence, the enemy ASWs are very weak, where they have little to no chance to sink your {{Taiha}} non-flagship submarine, so you can advance after node H with {{Taiha}} non-flagship submarine and no harm will be done to them.

Keep in mind they have {{color|red|'''LITTLE TO NO CHANCE'''}} to sink your submarine, '''NOT''' impossible. There is an actually '''0.2%''' chance your submarine can die, or 2 out of 1000 runs.

For practical purposes, it is recommended that this comp/strategy is to be used in parallel with other ranking maps. As an example, one may run [[7-1]] as their main ranking map and occasionally sortie this composition as soon as the submarines are repaired, effectively making this strategy '''bucket-free'''.

| LOS = Cn2: 45
| Note = You should always sortie this fleet at 49 morale as '''if you manage to S-rank all preboss nodes, the entire fleet will be sparkled by the time you reached the boss node''', which helps reduce bucket usage.
{{color|green|'''Best map to kill transport ships as you will meet 4 of them in one sortie.}}

Like Phase 1, boss node still {{color|green|'''contains a lot of old {{Ship/Link|Naganami|Zuikaku|Shoukaku|Mutsu|Agano|Ariake|text=rare ships}}, making it ideal to farm for their equipment'''}} if the player desires.
*However, the {{color|red|{{EquipmentLink|Elite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility}} '''is the absolutely minimum requirement'''}} for this fleet to work, and '''possibly the {{EquipmentLink|Prototype Night Zuiun (Attack Equipment)}}''' as well to maintain the high pass rate.

Due to the possibility of using FCF, it is possible that LoS may drop below the requirement. Only continue if your fleet still {{color|red|'''have above Cn2 45 LoS'''}}.

If you managed to tweak the fleet setup to allow 3-slot CL or weaker DD with low luck while maintaining reasonable pass rate, {{color|green|'''this map can be one of the best options for leveling. A ship that is in non-flagship position and never get MVP will gain at least 1700 - 1850 EXP per boss runs (2500 - 2800 if flagship, more with MVP)'''}}. Theoretically, if the flagship always becomes MVP and you finished the boss battle, she can gain up to '''4500 EXP''' per runs.

Keep in mind that due to being in a slot with very low capacity, the {{EquipmentLink|Prototype Night Zuiun (Attack Equipment)}} will {{color|red|'''almost always be completely shot down'''}}, thus losing the proficiency.

For some reasons, if you approach the boss node from south route once the map is cleared, {{Enemy/Link|Heavy Cruiser Ne-Class/Elite|text='''CA Ne-Class'''}} comp will never appear (Dev oversight or historical reference?)

*Keep in mind that without a proper combat-oriented AV like {{ShipLink|Mikuma Kai Ni Toku|text=Mikuma}}, the victory rate may decrease.

=Cannons=
Management of quarterly sortie quest ranking points ("Cannons"):
*Credit to '''Savara, Ink20'''. This is one of the recommended strategies to shoot ranking cannons.

As of current, there are 7 quarterly quests giving ranking points, known as cannon. A total of '''2050''' point can be obtained by completing all of those.

The following is the list of quarterly sortie quests. '''Bold''' indicates cannon quests
*At the beginning of the quarterly (unlocked by default): Bq3 and '''Bq13'''
*Unlocked by weekly or monthly quests:
**Bq1 needs Bm6 (Monthly 4-2)
**'''Bq2''' needs Bw2 (Weekly carriers)
**Bq5 needs D11 (Tokyo Express 2)
**'''Bq7''' needs Bw9: (Weekly 5-2)
**'''Bq8''' needs D11 (Tokyo Express 2)
**Bq9 needs D11: (Tokyo Express 2)
**'''Bq11''' needs Bm8 (Monthly supply lines)
*Unlocked by other quarterlies:
**Bq4 needs Bq3
**Bq6 needs Bq5
**'''Bq10''' needs '''Bq2'''
**'''Bq12''' needs '''Bq11'''

===Recommended course of actions===
*1. Do all weeklies
*2. Do Bm1: “Monthly Myoukou 2-5”
*3. Do Bm5: “Monthly 1-5”
*4. Do Bm8: “Monthly supply lines”
*5. Do Bq11: “Newbie cannon” (80 rpt must be “sacrificed”)
*6. At this point 5 big cannons are unlocked
**6.1. Bq2 do everything but 6-3 run
**6.2. Bq7 do everything but 5-4 run
**6.3. Bq8 do everything but one 1-5 run
**6.4. Bq12 do everything but 4-2 run
**6.5. Bq13 do everything but 5-4 run
*7. Bq10 remains locked until Bq2 is done
*8. Clear all EOs and farm ranking points as usual
*9. When the end of the month is close, calculate how many rpt you need to reach your desired position and fire the cannons you need.

Alternatively, if you want to try ranking all 3 months:
*Month 1. Do Bm1, Bm5, Bm8, Bq2, Bq8, 7-2-2 run of Bq10 (so you don't have to open it again) and everything but one run of Bq7, Bq11 and Bq13 (350+300 rpt with 200+80+390 rpt ready in case of need)
*Month 2. Do Bq7, Bq10 and Bq11 (200+400+80 rpt)
*Month 3. Do Bq12 and Bq13 (330+390 rpt)
Also, remember that some requirement of these quests are shared with other quests and can be done together like 5-4 of Bq7 and Bq13 with 2CL, 3CA, 1CV or 1BBV (north or south route), 6-4 of Bq2 and Bq13, 6-3 of Bq2 and Bq4, etc.

==Tools that Help with Ranking==
===Savara's ranking cutoff - planning tool===
:Website: [https://bonodere.famluro.es]
This is a ranking supportive tool that calculates the amount of point you need to farm in order to reach a selected goal. It also includes features using ranking data from [https://senka.su senka.su] such as automatic score input, other players tracking system, and a filter for players potentially going for high ranking. For more information, please visit the site.

===Senka.su===
:Website: [https://senka.su]
A database site that shows the top 500 record of every server, which can be helpful if you wanna check where you are at compared to the other players in the top 500.

==Ranking Plan==
*As of September 2020, many quarterly quests that give ranking points have been released. This has directly affected the ranking pressure across all servers as nowaday T500 may requires as much effort as Phase 1 T100. However, this can also be a good thing as if you do all those quarterlies and EO in one single month, you can stack up to 3000 points pretty easily. With a couple of more sortie, you are guaranteed to hit T500 as well. So my advice is '''If your life is very busy, just focus all quarterlies in one month and clear all the EO that month too, this way, at least you will get ranking rewards every 3 months'''
**Of course it is still possible to rank every month and spread out quarterlies to get enough point buff (i.e each month you only do 2-3 quarterlies for around 600 points), but will require much more points from daily sortie for T500 nowaday if you wanna catch up. Plan your schedule accordingly to your server if you spam daily. You are gonna need like 3700 for T500 (Hashi will need more obviously)
===Regarding the EO and Quest cannon===
*For EO cannon, you can shoot anytime in a month to gain rpt, but '''note that if you shoot in the last day of the month, between 22:00 - 00:00 JST of the next month, it will not be counted for anything !'''
*For quarterly quest cannon:
**Shooting it anytime before 14:00 JST of the last day of any month will give rpt to that month.
**Shooting it after 14:00 JST of the last day of any month, <u>as long as that month is '''NOT''' the last month of the quarter</u>, will give rpt to the following month.
**Shooting it after 14:00 JST of the last day of the last month in a quarter <u>will just simply waste it, not counted for anything.</u>
**For reference, 4 quarters in KC are month 12-1-2 / 3-4-5 / 6-7-8 / 9-10-11
Example:
*Right now it's July, it belongs to quarter 6-7-8. I have the Z cannon available giving 350 points.
**If I shoot it anytime in July before 7/31 14:00 JST, I will have 350 points for July.
**If I shoot it after 7/31 14:00 JST, but before August coming, I will have 350 points for August.
**If I shoot it after 8/31 14:00 JST, I will get nothing out of it, as August is already the last month of the quarter.
*For limited seasonal quest cannon (Rainy Season 2023 - Terubozu, Setsubun, etc...), let's say the current month is '''May''' and it currently has a seasonal quest cannon:
**Shooting it anytime before 14:00 JST of the last day of '''May''' will give rpt to May.
**Shooting it after 14:00 JST of the last day of '''May''' will give rpt to the following month, '''June'''.
The last note regarding the seasonal quest cannon are '''VERY IMPORTANT''' to know about especially {{color|red|if the said cannon is a '''MONTHLY''' quest. As the points are '''given''' to the next month if the cannon is shot '''AFTER 14:00 JST of the current month''', <u>''it is possible to stack the point gained from that particular quest '''TWICE''' in the following month.''</u>}} The seasonal quest cannon will start giving the point to the next month as soon as 14:00 JST of the current month has been passed, but '''the monthly quest reset will not occur yet''', so there is a small time window of 15 hours where you can finish the said monthly seasonal quest before it resets itself, allowing you to do it again, doubling the point gained from the said quest in the following month.<br><br>
The entire quest cannon can be summed up using this table:
