Introduction

This article is meant to be a rough guideline to help you determine which girls you should be leveling. Included in this is which girls you should be using your limited blueprints, action reports and prototype catapults on. Event-only girls are listed separately due to their rarity. Any girl not listed here can be considered low priority.

The bare minimum you'll require for events is 7DD 1CL 3CA/V 4FBB 2CV 2CVL. This covers all combined fleet combinations with no extra capacity for ship locks or historical ships.

As a general rule, girls which require special resources (blueprint, action report, protoype catapult) are rated lower than their counterparts unless they outclass every other girl in that category. Unless otherwise noted, you should be getting girls to their highest remodel.

The advice in this article assumes you already have the girl. Don't stress about missing high priority girls.

Remodel Priorities (Blueprint/Prototype Catapult)

Design & order

My design can be changed, any suggestions/discussions are welcome.

  • the note section is mostly copy-pasted from the old Help:Ship_Priority list.
    • I'm bad at writing and haven't added much there, but much more needs to be added/rewritten
  • Quest formatting and indenting isn't the most consistent.
  • Only  ,  ,  ,   & good equipment are listed in Notable Equipment Given.
  • Only equipment capabilities gained through the remodel are listed in Equipment Capability Gained.
    • Things such as Yahagi equipping 8cm guns in RE or Tama equipping Armor isn't listed because they can already do that at Kai.
      • Can make notes about them, "making a good ship better". Eg. Yahagi: *4 slot <br> **Pseudo 5-slot when combined with preexisting ability to equip 8cm in RE.
  • If a form is specified, only that form is being recommended. And only benefits for that form are listed. (I left a note in for Akagi/Kaga's other forms though)

The ship order should be changed, any suggestions/discussions/debates on discord are welcome.

  • I may not do not agree with all the placements on my list, its a redesign sandbox for now. I've only shuffled some ships around.
  • With the addition of YamatoK2, and Choukai now no longer gating W6 LBAS, and new Quad(Ox)LM/TSLO/DK3 quests, things need some tough re-evaluations
    • (almost nothing has been adjusted priority-order wise from the original Help:Ship_Priority, of which I did not make)
    • I agree with everything on VeryHigh and VeryLow (VeryLow may still need a reorder)
    • High, Medium & Low need A LOT of change/shuffling/debating. Perhaps 4th tier or an "earlygame but skippable bp remodels".


  • planning on having Devmats/Torches be shown. I haven't included them yet because I want them to be toggleable, too many remodels need them now and it fills/thickens up the remodel requirements section, when it only really matters for the few ones who eat a ton. Big devmat eaters can also have a note written about it too.

Rules

Some rules:

  • Protopult: Shou/Zui -> Ise -> Kaga -> Akagi -> Sara/Hyuuga -> Ryuuhou/Gambier ? -> Gotland -> PotatoCVE
  • CLs (needs debating): Abukuma -> Yura/Yahagi/Yuubari ? -> Kuma ? -> Tama ? -> Kinu ??
  • DD main protopult chain : Ooshio/Arashio -> Kagerou/Shiranui/Kuroshio -> Oyashio
  • DDs (needs debating): Naganami -> Amatsukaze -> Miyuki ? -> 1xYuugumo-c ? -> ??? -> Ooshio/Arashio -> Kagerou/Shiranui/Kuroshio -> Oyashio -> ???? -> Kazagumo/Akigumo -> ???? -> Arare/No-quest Yuugumo -> Yukikaze/Hayashio
    • Where should the following go?: Hatsuzuki, Fletcher/Sammy, Yuugumo/Makigumo/Hayashimo, Fujinami, Hamanami, Amagiri, (Kinu/)Uranami/Kiyoshimo, (Choukai/)Yamakaze, Isonami, Shigure
  • With the addition of Ryuuhou/Gambier K2, Suzuya&Kumano CVL listings have been removed. They instead have notes on the CAV listing.
