Ranking serves as the competitive aspect of Kantai Collection. You compete against other Admirals on your server to see who can earn the most points in a month doing [[#Earning Points|various activities]]. Ranking rewards players with rare equipment.
Ranking is the competitive aspect of Kantai Collection. On each of the 20 [[Servers]], players compete against each other by earning "Ranking Points".
* Those points are earned by doing [[#Earning Points|various activities]].
* The ranking on each server is determined by those points only.
* Ranking rewards players with "valuable" equipment, and sometimes consumables.
* Ranks are updated twice daily at '''0300 and 1500 JST'''.
=Overview=
* Rank points stop counting for the daily update at '''0200 and 1400 JST'''.
The [[Military Record#Ranking|Ranking menu]] within the Military Record page, displays the 1000 players with the most points in ranking order.
* When having a rank inferior to 1000, the ranking page corresponding to the current rank is also displayed.
* The final cut-off for the month is at '''2200 JST''' on the last day of the month.
* Ranks are updated twice daily at '''03:00 and 15:00 JST''' (at the same time as PVP).
** Any points from sorties, expeditions, and exercises earned after this point '''count towards the next month.
** The point counting for both daily updates stops 1h prior (02:00 and 14:00 JST). This means any points earned after this cut-off will count towards the next update.
* The final cut-off for the month is at '''22:00 JST''' on the last day of the month.
** Any points from sorties, expeditions, and exercises earned after this point '''count towards the next month'''.
** Any points from [[#Extra Operations|EOs]] and [[#Quests|Quests]] '''will be lost'''.
** Any points from [[#Extra Operations|EOs]] and [[#Quests|Quests]] '''will be lost'''.
** The ranking page '''will not reflect''' the points earned between 1400 and 2200 JST on the final day.
** The ranking page '''will not reflect''' the points earned between 14:00 and 22:00 JST on the final day.
Ranking rewards are not necessarily "useful" nor "rare".
* Those rewards range from:
** Ultra-exclusive unobtainable equipment,
** "Event" equipment, generally linked to upcoming or ongoing events.
** "Valuable" equipment, that would be either expensive to obtain or/and limited in number.
** "Normal" equipment,
** Rare consumables.
* Equipment rewarded can also come with some [Improvement]]s, the higher ranks have generally more stars {{Star}}.
* ''Please see [[Ranking/Rank Rewards|Rank Rewards]] for a list of historical rewards''.
The difficulty of ranking varies from server to server.
* ''Please see [[Ranking/Rank History|Rank History]] for the general pattern of rank thresholds for each server.''
* Note that rank history before August 2018 is not indicative of current ranking difficulty because those were from [[KanColle Phase 2#Phase 1|Phase 1]], with different server populations.
It is '''not''' possible to rank after reaching the HQ experience cap (360 000 000).
Admirals who have breached the Terms of Service may be banned from ranking. They will be unable to rank for an unknown period of time.
Admirals with the same amount of rank points will be sorted by HQ experience.

Higher tiers provide more and better rewards, but also get more and more competitive. T100 and higher require careful planning, resource management, and strategy. Because of the way [[#Yearly Points|points are earned]], it becomes marginally easier to rank throughout the year when ranking consistently.

*Rewards are distributed '''with a month lag'''. I.e the reward for June's ranking is distributed at the end of July. Finalized ranks are also displayed at that time.
