Large Ship Construction Recipes

Due to their nature and expansiveness, data on LSC recipes is relatively low and may not be fully accurate or up to date.

  • Please note that all ships craftable via LSC often come back as Event rare drops.

Theorical Recipes

The following are optimized recipes using data from the Kancolle Kai version [4].

The general rule for using the recipe:

  • The "minimum recipes" are the minimum resources needed to obtain the desired ship.
  • Increasing the resource does increase the rate and is recommended to some extent.
    • Depending on the pool, increasing some resources is more effective than others.
    • Like normal construction, resources should be increased by step. Those steps are here collapsed in the recipes table below.
    • Unless capped, it is not recommended to increase the Development material DevMats cost.
  • Unless stated otherwise having more construction docks empty increases the rate.
    • That means LSC should not be done one after another because the "in construction" docks will decrease the rate.

Notes
  • This recipe should be used first if neither Yamato nor Musashi are in possession.
  • If Musashi is constructed first, use the "Yamato only" recipe below for Yamato instead.
  • Using the adequate secretary with those this recipes can construct Bismarck or Warspite.
    • Note that it will greatly reduced the rate of both Yamato and Musashi.

Old Empiricla Recipes

Using any of the above mentioned Helper is either required or discouraged, depending on the targeted craft.

  • When crafting a ship requiring a helper, then said helper is mandatory,
  • However, when crafting any other ship, using those helpers will decrease the crafting rate of the targeted ship.

Notes
  • Regarding the use of 1/20/100 Development material Devmats:
    • The amount used affects the pool of craftable ships, with some ships only appearing with 20+ Devmats.
    • Using 100 Devmats does give better rates for some heavier ships, but the gain is often too marginal to justify this cost increase.
    • E.g.:
      • I-401 chances are improved with 1 dev mat.
      • Yamato appears with all dev mat inputs.
      • Bismarck and Musashi do not appear with 1 dev mat.
      • Aiming for Bismarck before Musashi can help save both resources and Devmats as Musashi can always appear from a Bismarck attempt, but not necessarily the other way around (if a German ship is not used).
Sources
  • Based on Poi-Statistics.
  • Kancolle DB reports include all development materials and Secretary used. This is especially noticeable for BB recipes where the number of attempts with/without Z1/Z3 skew the results towards either Bismarck or Yamato-class significantly. However, since the data sets are still significantly less biased than wikiwiki reports, it gives a better idea of what to expect.
