{{Main|Help:Ship Priority}}

The bare minimum fleet required to clear an event on Casual/Easy is '''7DD 1CL 3CA/V 4FBB 2CV 2CVL'''. This covers all [[Combined Fleet]] compositions but does not have the capacity to deal with ship locking. Thus if you intend to complete an event on Medium/Hard, you will either need substitutes or duplicates. Refer to the main article for more details on high-tier ship girls to help you determine who to focus on.

The bare minimum fleet required to clear an event will depend on the difficulties you chose as well as the length of the event. The bare minimum would be to have enough ships to fill the various [[Combined Fleet]] types, STF, CTF, and TCF, that you will meet in events, so about a dozen DDs, a dozen CL/CA(V), 1/2 a dozen BBs/CV(L)s and some auxiliary ships.

In higher difficulties, you will have to manage the [[Ship Locking]] to, requiring way more ships depending on the number of locks, approaching the 100 ships in the largest events.

You may also have to consider using "historical" or "regional" ships on certain events/maps, like European ships during European events.

Finally, regardless of the difficulty played, it is highly recommended to have all of your ships fully modernized and at their best remodel form available to you.

* New Admirals '''should not''' bother with trying to preemptively level girls for potential historical routing/bonuses.

* "Historical" or "regional" ships are mostly optional.

** Many of these girls are just average and it is ill-advised to waste your time and resources on speculation.

** You should focus on having a good META fleet and not an over-specialized one.

** All-round high-tier girls will still serve you well through brute force.

* Having one CVE and 3 strong DDs should be enough to carry out a TCF.

* While the bare minimum amount of DD for a TCF is 7, you can just focus on 3 strong ones to start off with.

** Only the 3DDs in the TCF escort will be doing the bulk of the fighting.

* Having one of the CVLs be [[Zuihou|Zuihou Kai Ni B]] will be useful for supporting a TCF.

* CAVs are generally only useful in events if you have the [[:Category:Seaplane_Fighters|SPFs]] to back them up. Otherwise, leveling powerful combat CAs would be better.
