===DE Drop Behaviors===
DE drops is a complicated mechanic. To farm for them efficiently, you need to know how their drop mechanic really works. For full details of how it works, you can check out these articles [https://note.com/shiroos/n/nc69eeb09585f], [https://note.com/shiroos/n/nf94178915b6c]. But here is the TLDR version:
+
Unlike any other ship type in the game, DE are subject to unique drop cap behavior, similar to overfishing.
*If you own '''3 copies''' of a DE and start farming for her 4th copy onwards, her drop rate will be decreased (This is known as '''possession penalty'''). So try to '''keep 2 copies''' of each DE at best.
+
To farm for them efficiently, knowing how their drop mechanic works is important.
*For every time that DE is '''scrapped, sunk or fed away using modernization''', the game will add '''+1''' to your '''cumulative decommission''' counter for that DE. If this counter '''reaches 10 or more''', the rate of that DE drop will also be decreased (This is known as '''cumulative penalty'''). Keep this in mind if you fed away too many of that DE.
+
*Having more than 3 duplicate of a certain DE will decrease its rate on all maps.
**This '''cumulative penalty''' applies to your account in '''every sea area, including event''' (As seen in map 2-3 [https://x.com/shiroos/status/1772303252454854707] and Spring event 2024 E2 Boss [https://x.com/Sashimi91640578/status/1807745269595025450])
+
*Using 9+ times a certain DE as fodder will decrease its rate on all maps.
**This counter is '''invisible and will keep going up if you remove that same DE from your base''', making it really hard to get more copies of her after a certain amount of her copies removed, '''unless there is a hard reset of drop pool'''. So far, only one time dev has done this, which was in the November 2 2023 update [https://x.com/shiroos/status/1738122210588647929]. When this reset happens, your '''cumulative penalty''' will also be reset back to 0, allowing you to farm for her again easily. However, it's unknown when dev will reset the drop pool again.
+
*{{details|Drop#Overfishing Cap|l1=Overfishing Cap}}
**The '''cumulative penalty''' starts taking real effect and reduce the DE drop rate also depends on which sea area you are farming. For spring event 2024 E2 Boss, the effect starts kicking in when the '''cumulative decommission''' counter is '''14 or higher''' [https://x.com/shiroos/status/1772304298669457604], for map 1-3, it kicks in when the counter is '''10 or higher''' [https://x.com/shiroos/status/1728817901686452653]. There is no fixed amount for this counter as it can change, so the safest bet is still try to keep the counter at '''9 or less''' to avoid the penalty.
 
**Lastly, when '''cumulative penalty''' kicks in, it '''doesn't reduce that DE drop rate to 0%''', it's just really low rate, so it's still possible to farm for her, just very unlikely.

Revision as of 23:28, 22 December 2024

This article aims to provide advice on the better ways to farm for certain ships in order to use them as Modernization fodder. Those ships notably include:

Maruyu

Maruyu Kai is the best way to modernize reliably the luck of any ship in the game.

LSC

Maruyu is a reliable LSC craft, being obtained by using the minimum amount of resources.

  • She gets even better crafting rates by crafting her with as few "free docks" as possible.
  • It is advised to attempt such craft only when reaching the resource caps, to avoid wasting any resource gain.
Maruyu
FuelAmmunitionSteelBauxiteDevelopment materialNote
15001500200010001Recommended recipe
Notes
  • Unlike other recipes, the number of free docks should be minimum (ideally 1).

Sorties

3-5

Recomanded Fleet
  • 1 (F)BB(V), 3 CVL, 2 CAV/AV
  • Route = B D H J
  • Drop rate: 2.5 %

4-5

Recomanded Fleet
  • 1-2 (F)BB(V), 2-3 CV(B), 2 CAV/AV (Fast+)
  • Route = Random:
    A D H T
    C D H T
  • Drop rate: 2.0 %

6-2

Recomanded Fleet
  • 1 (F)BB(V), 2 CAV/AV, 2 DD
  • Route = C E J K
  • Drop rate: 2.0 %

Mizuho & Kamoi

Mizuho & Kamoi can be used to modernize the HP of certain ships.

LSC

Both Mizuho and Kamoi can be crafted via LSC only, but this method is not advised.

Sorties

Mizuho is a permanent drop on 7-2, 5-3, and 6-4 only, with only the fist being reasonably farmable.

Kamoi is a permanent drop on 7-4 only.

Both are also regular limited time drops.

7-2

Recommended Fleet

1FBB, 1CV, 1CVL, 1CAV, 2DD (fast)

  • Route = B C D I M
  • Drop rate: 2.2 %


7-4

Recommended Fleet
  • 0-1BBV, 1CVL, 1CA/CL, 3-4DD/DE
  • Route = A B E J L P
  • LBAS Node P: Range = 2
  • Drop rate: 5.7 %

DE

DE are the best way to modernize the HP of any ship in the game, as well as the only way to modernize ASW and a good way to modernize Luck.

DE Drop Behaviors

Unlike any other ship type in the game, DE are subject to unique drop cap behavior, similar to overfishing. To farm for them efficiently, knowing how their drop mechanic works is important.

  • Having more than 3 duplicate of a certain DE will decrease its rate on all maps.
  • Using 9+ times a certain DE as fodder will decrease its rate on all maps.

Sorties

DE can only be obtained via drops, and only limited time drops so far, thus, there is almost no reliable way to farm them.

7-4

So far, only 7-4 has a constant set of DE drops, being a reliable farm location.

Recommended Fleet
  • 0-1BBV, 1CVL, 1CA/CL, 3-4DD/DE
  • Route = A B E J L P
  • LBAS Node P: Range = 2
