What is the merit of going to night battle? Just to clear the map? Or only then you will get card drop/ or higher chance for card drop?

With no energy limitation, it seems resources (and time due to fatigue or reparation) will be the main limit. The second however could be eliminated by having a larger squad (like 12 ships to rotate).

So i guess the beef in this game must be resources then?

Just to clear the map, really. The experience on a clear is a little higher, but note you don't actually HAVE to sink all enemy ships to clear a node.

The problem with night battles is that they're considered a separate instance, meaning you might stumble into one with your girls already fatigued, which is BAD. Also night battles have increased chance of critical hits, on BOTH sides, which means higher chances of your ships getting sunk too.

How do you know whether we have cleared a node then? Just survive through it?

By winning obviously. While S rank is obviously something to shoot for, A or B rank are often enough to clear a node.

Oh, and Klash, I don't think anyone has answered my quest about stat growth. Is it every level, or every two levels?

But just exchange fire with enemy counts as winning? Like is there a certain requirement to win? (as i thought sink all ships were)

Hey thank...

On expedition, is it 50-50 on whether it success or not? Cause i was running the 3rd one with 3DD as required, but apparently earned no resources so far

Edit: found the reason, flagship level is also part of the requirement

Is the level of the flagship high enough,? I had a few failed expedition probably because of that.

Yeah it is, also just found about it too

Resources ended up as strained as it was. Still got all DD so far, except an Isuzu. And it seems Rank A has quite low card drop rate if comparing with S?

Should i start a bit on modernization or it won't be worth it at level 7-8? Maybe try to get Isuzu into lvl 12 for Kai 1st?

Almost could've finished E-2... on the 4th engagement, my fleet managed to heavily damage the boss, while getting all the other ships sunk. The battle ended without going to the day phase, and I think I was just missing that 1-2 clicks from the bar from finishing it.

The hurdle is definitely resources. I have no problems with buckets yet.

To be really honest, I don't even pay attention to stats gain with level up since I always go brute force with modernization when the ship is done with the remodel process.

Modernization is only worth if the ship is already in its last remodel, or if the next remodel will take ages to reach (i.e Hibiki, Shigure, Yudachi), since the remodel will reset the modernization gain.

I was wondering about the stats that you can't modify via Modernization, ya see. Stuff like Evade. XD

Edit: Observing Fubuki and Shimakaze leveling from 25-27, it looks the stats increased at 25 and 27, so that does point to increases every 2 levels. Makes sense, with a cap of 99.

[risingstar3110]

Currently farming 1st node of 1-4 as boss in this stage always send my whole teams to the public bath.... The potential drop seems to better than 1-3 boss node according to wiki too. (In reality haven't got any significant thing, other than light cruiser....)

Oh well, can take it slow. Have Yuudachi, Hibiki and Shigure to grind anyway. Wished that i got Shimikaze and Yukikaze to make a whole team through

PS: did my first construction which burn through my resources. The product apparently is one of the Mogami or Tone class (with construction time of 1:30). Would have prefer a BB like Kongou but she probably will eat up my resources fast... so it might be for the best here

Heavy cruisers are enough to get you through world 1 though, so thats fine. I had Hagurou as my MVP for the duration until I had leveled enough to hit world 2 ahaha.

I know, and that's exactly the issue since I rarely check the full status screen of a ship, and don't bother with the general stats due to modernization spree. The only moment I really pay attention to the ship stats is when I compare 2 of them or when I change equipments.

Having a BB at this point would just be a dead weight due to the consumption and repair cost.

You should manage your resources so that you can have a sortie times to times, while keeping your ressources around your cap limit. That being said, having CL and CA especially will drain your resources quite quickly early on already.

I reached 2-1 now (got only B for boss), should i start to farm first node of 2-1 or keep going with 1-4?

Party level however...barely reached lvl 10

Grind fool, grind! Get some ships to 30-ish before you hit 2-4, unless you're willing to cheat and use subs... XD

And 10 is on the extreme low end of clearing World 1. I think my Hagurou was about 14 when I moved on to world 2. ^^;

Yeah 2-1 actually dropped more heavy cruiser than i could asked for (3 so far with a duplicate). None was really good through (actually none of the heavy cruiser was really rated highly in the first place).


On a more positive note, got Yukikaze when i tried to craft a sub. Suddenly now I had a worthy flagship after Isuzu turned Kai (a lvl 2 destroyer in fact )
The cruiser aside, the team now consist of Isuzu, and four destroyers: Hibiki, Yukikaze, Yuudachi and Shigure. Which should be in fairly ok position to grind 2.1 over weekday even through probably a bit lack in firepower (which will be risky over night battle). Should i try to move to 2.2 or 2.3 since 2.4 is probably out of question right now?

Edit: a very important question, what do you do with all those destroyers that only add 1 of that torpedo thingy when used for modernisation? Just add it up, or is there a better uses?

I collect ship girls, so I keep one of each, then use duplicates for modernization. Also destroyers are almost universally required for Expeditions, so you will have to keep at least 12-16 even if you're not up to collecting. Then there's 3-2...

... Actually I think I have every destroyer girl aside from the ones added during the Yamato event the other month, and NONE of them below level 10.
