Kancolle Expand Ship Slots

These slots are also used for installing new technologies that make your ship more efficient, such as by making your Hyperdrive travel farther, cooling the Phase Beam so it shoots more than 1. R/kancolle: A subreddit for the Japanese game about cute WW2 ships fighting cute evil not-WW2 ships. Press J to jump to the feed. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Chitose and Chiyoda Kai Ni (Lv 50) - Balanced plane slots, highest HP and they are classified as fast ships (Branching may require fast ships) SSs/SSVs: U-511 Kai (Lv 35)/Ro-500 (Lv 55) - Highest Evasion stat, 3rd and 2nd highest luck respectively (Only for those who cleared Winter 2015 or obtained her as a drop from Spring/Summer 2015).

Destroyers: The smallest ships in the game, you'll start out with these and keep playing with them for as long as you play KanColle. They're tiny and fragile, and can't equip heavy weapons, recon planes, or most radar. But they're also highly mobile, cheap to operate, and can do far more damage than you think in night battles. They're also one of the few classes in the game that can hit submarines, and there's a mission in the mid-game that requires a fleet of nothing but destroyers, which is often a stumbling block for admirals who put all their energy into raising fleet carriers and battleships. You will need six destroyers at around level 30 to progress past stage 3-2. If you find one you like, start raising it now!

• PRO:Cheap to operate. The cheapest units in the game, after submarines. In a game where resources are everything, this is a huge advantage.
• PRO:Fast and agile. They're harder to hit than a battleship or a cruiser.
• PRO: Can hit submarines. This is a huge advantage, because once submarines start showing up they're a giant nuisance. Most of the more powerful ships can't even attack them, so you'll just have to sit and watch as they fire torpedo after torpedo at you. If you don't have an adequately leveled destroyer or light cruiser when these guys start popping up, you'll regret it.
• PRO: Destroyers get a bonus at night, according to the official twitter. The exact nature of this bonus is unknown, but it's thought to be to dodge, critical hit rate, and accuracy.
• CON:Fragile. Outside of submarines, which have the advantage of being mostly untargetable, they have the lowest HP of any class in the game. One unlucky hit can severely damage them.
• CON: Don't do much damage. They can make up for this in night battles, to a degree, but they won't be your heavy damagers.

• PRO: Balanced. They can do some damage, and they're not as fragile as destroyers, and not as expensive as heavy cruisers. If you can get through a level by using them, you definitely should. Remember: resources are everything in this game, so you should always be trying to use the most fuel-efficient fleet you can.
• PRO:Good at submarine hunting. If you outfit them with the right equipment they can utterly annihilate a submarine in a single shot. Yuubari in particular will absolutely murder a submarine, which is why she's so highly prized.
• CON: Jack of all trades, masters of none (Except submarine hunting, which destroyers can do as well). In more difficult stages they simply can't scratch powerful opponents like battleships..

• PRO: The queens of night battles. If they enter a night battle at full health, nobody will leave standing.
• PRO: Powerful and sturdy, they can face most foes down.
• PRO:They can do artillery spotting, which gives a sizable damage bonus.
• CON: Not as powerful as a battleship, but still costs a lot of resources to operate. (They generally cost about 1/2 as much to run as a battleship.)

• PRO: These girls can do more damage than most any ship in the game. They're heavily armored. When you absolutely need something blown up, and it has to go down right now, the battleships are your go-to girls.
• PRO: Having a single battleship in your fleet allows your ships to fire twice during the shelling phase. As you can imagine, this is very, very useful. It can potentially double your damage output.
• CON:They're pricey. Oh, are they pricey. A typical battleship will cost around twice to three times as much in fuel in ammo as a heavy cruiser. A fully upgraded Yamato will cost something like 5 times as much. And the repair costs and times are even worse.
• CON: They don't carry torpedoes. This means they won't attack during the torpedo phase, and they won't be quite as useful at night. If anything survives its onslaught until night, that is...

• PRO: Some form of air power is almost a necessity in many levels of the game, and carriers have a ton of it.
• PRO: Carriers can launch an opening strike at the beginning of the battle, before any other ship has a chance to strike. If you've got a lot of air power, you can overwhelm an enemy and knock them out of the fight before any of your ships even take a single scratch.
• CON:Carriers can't attack at night, and they'll just be sitting there doing nothing.
• CON: Carriers can't launch planes if they're at moderately damaged or worse.
• CON: Carriers in particular are very expensive to operate. You'll be amazed how quickly you run out of bauxite.

Light Carriers: All the taste of a fleet carrier, with half the calories! Light Carriers will give you decent air power without the immense costs of a full fleet carrier. They're more fuel efficient, and because they carry less planes, if things go south you won't have to pay as much bauxite to get them back to full strength. They're excellent choices for leveling, or stages where you don't need to bring all your planes to bear on an enemy. They're also easier to find than carriers, which tend to be rather rare.

• PRO: Cheaper to operate than full-sized carriers, while still able to carry the same kinds of planes.
• CON: They have fewer planes and less armor than full-sized carriers, and so not suitable for fighting area bosses.

Light Carriers to Watch Out For: Light Carriers are a unique class in that they're all different from one another. Houshou isn't very strong, but is very cheap to operate. Junyou and Hiyou have as many planes as a full-sized carrier, but less armor and very little dodging ability. Ryuujou can be remodeled twice, and on her second remodel she brings unique planes with her.
Seaplane Tenders: There are only two seaplane tenders, Chitose and Chiyoda, and their statistics are identical. They start off mostly useless, but can be remodeled a total of five times, and by their fifth remodel they will become light carriers with excellent stats, almost as strong as a full carrier and much more fuel efficient.. And what's more, when you remodel them at level 12 they'll bring you the Type A Ko-Hyouteki, AKA midget subs. These are absolutely critical items for any admiral to have, because they'll let you launch torpedoes at the enemy before they can start shooting back at you. You can remodel a Seaplane Tender to a light carrier at level 15, but it's very common not to do this, and instead let its powerful midget subs carry you until level 35, and then remodel it twice.

• PRO:When they're fully upgraded, they're resource-efficient and very strong. How much do you want these two? The president of DMM.com, i.e. the man who owns KanColle, said in an interview that he had something like 4 pairs of Chitose and Chiyoda, all near the level cap. The only other ship he had in that kind of quantity was torpedo cruisers.
• PRO: Their midget subs are almost a necessity. See the section on torpedo cruisers.
• PRO:Easy to find. They're often the first carrier new admirals get.
• CON: They kind of suck at the start.

Torpedo Cruisers: Immensely, gloriously overpowered. Certain light cruisers (Ooi, Kitakami, and Kiso) will upgrade into these. If you give them a midget sub, which you can easily get by remodeling a Seaplane tender at level 12, they can fire off a torpedo before the shelling phase, right after the carriers launch their planes. A torpedo from one of them is often enough to sink even a large ship. It's difficult to understate how powerful they are. Have you ever heard of the battleship Yamato? The flagship of the Japanese fleet, and a symbol of its strength that's been the subject of countless books, movies, and TV shows. If you've ever played Starcraft, you've probably fired the battleship's Yamato Cannon, which is capable of melting most units in the game with a single hit. In this game, a remodeled and fully upgraded Yamato is the most expensive ship you can get. It costs almost three times to run it as other battleships, and you're likely to burn tens of thousands of resources trying to get it. Its firepower stat is 139. Torpedo cruisers are (comparatively) easy to get, cheap to field, can attack before the battle even begins, and have a maximum torpedo stat of... 139. Kiso will also turn into a torpedo cruiser at level 65, with slightly worse stats. It's up to you whether you think it's worth it to sink the time into that, or if you feel Kitakami and Ooi are enough on their own.

• PRO:Can kill everything.
• PRO:Will kill everything.
• PRO:Will do it for less than the resource cost of a single heavy cruiser.
• CON: They're fragile. A single hit from a good sized ship can take off most of their health bar.

• PRO: Can't be targeted by heavy cruisers or battleships. Carriers don't do much damage to them.
• PRO: Resource costs are almost non-existent.
• PRO: Can fire a torpedo at the start of the fight, just like torpedo cruisers.
• CON:Fragile and easily damaged by destroyers and light cruisers.
• CON: Very hard to find.
• CON: They don't have any guns or anti-aircraft weapons, only torpedoes.
