Experience in Kantai Collection is divided into two types. Ship Girl experience and Admiral experience. The former makes ship girls more powerful and the latter increases the player's HQ level and plays into Ranking.

Ship Girl Experience

Ships earn experience through sorties, exercises (PVP), and expeditions.

For ships, the following elements are affected by level:
- Remodeling (ship to ship dependant),
- Reinforcement Expansion, requiring level 30,
- Marriage, requiring level 99,
- Some Expeditions' requirements or/and great success rate,
- Natural stat growth for ASW , LoS , evasion , and accuracy /hit rate,
- Repair time,
- Night Recon trigger rate,
- Night Cut-In trigger rate,
- Touch trigger rates,
- Touch damage for SS(V),
- Experience bonus for CT,
- Chance for 2nd Hit for "New Type" Cut-ins for DD after level 80,
- Innate Opening Torpedo Salvo for SS(V) after level 10,
- Possibility to trigger the Submarine Touch for AS after level 30,
- Possibility to trough either 2 torpedo strikes during the Submarine Touch for SS(V) after level 75,
See leveling for more details and advice on leveling up ships.

Sorties

Experience earned by ships in sorties is:

Sortie Experience Formula

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{sortie} = \lfloor \text{Exp}_\text{base} \times \text{Mod}_\text{MVP} \times \text{Mod}_\text{flag} \times \text{Mod}_\text{rank} \rfloor }[/math]

With

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{base} }[/math] the base experience of the node, being node-to-node dependent.
- See the individual map pages for exact base exp values.
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{MVP} }[/math] the MVP bonus, being 2 for the MVP and 1 for all other ships,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{flag} }[/math] the flagship bonus, being 1.5 for the flagship and 1 for all other ships,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{rank} }[/math] the rank bonus according to the table below.

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{rank} }[/math]
Rank	Multiplier
S	1.2
A	1.0
B	1.0
C	0.8
D	0.7
E	0.5

Notes

The maximum multiplier a ship can earn is 3.6, for a flagship MVP at S rank.
It is rarely worth it to go into each night battle to increase the sortie exp gains, as it is less time-efficient compared to doing more runs.
Most maps heavily reward clearing the boss node.

Exercises

Experience earned in exercises is:

Exercice Experience Formulas

Pre-cap

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{pre-cap} = \Big\lfloor \frac{\text{Exp}_\text{Ship1}}{100} + \frac{\text{Exp}_\text{Ship2}}{300} \Big\rfloor + \text{Rand} }[/math]

With

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{Ship1} }[/math] the cumulative experience of the opponent's flagship level based on exp tables below,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{Ship2} }[/math] the cumulative experience value of the opponent's 2nd ship level based on exp tables below,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Rand} }[/math] a random number from 0 to 3.

Cap

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{cap} = \Big\lfloor \text{Cap} + \sqrt{\text{Exp}_\text{pre-cap}-\text{Cap}} \Big\rfloor }[/math]

With

The [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Cap} }[/math] being 500 in exercices.

Post-cap

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{post-cap} = \Big\lfloor \lfloor \text{Exp}_\text{cap} \times \text{Mod}_\text{rank} \rfloor \times \text{Mod}_\text{MVP} \times \text{Mod}_\text{flag} \times \text{Mod}_\text{CT} \Big\rfloor }[/math]

With

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{MVP} }[/math] the MVP bonus, being 2 for the MVP and 1 for all other ships,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{flag} }[/math] the flagship bonus, being 1.5 for the flagship and 1 for all other ships,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{rank} }[/math] the rank bonus:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{rank} }[/math]
Rank	Multiplier
S	1.2
A	1.0
B	1.0
C	0.64
D	0.56
E	0.4

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{CT} }[/math] the training cruiser bonus:

Training Cruisers (CT) behave similarly to Light Cruisers, with the ability to increase exp earned from Exercises.

The bonus depends on their position and number in the fleet as well as their level. See below for bonus values:

CT Experience Bonus: [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{CT} }[/math]
Fleet	Affected Ships	CT Level					Notes
Fleet	Affected Ships	1-9	10-29	30-59	60-99	100+	The flagship's level if it is a CT, highest leveled CT otherwise.
1 Katori-class non-flagship	All	1.030	1.050	1.070	1.100	1.150	Asahi not present
2 Katori-class non-flagship		1.040	1.060	1.080	1.120	1.175
1 Katori-class flagship		1.050	1.080	1.120	1.150	1.200
1 Katori-class flagship + 1 Katori-class		1.100	1.130	1.160	1.200	1.250

1 CT non-flagship	All	1					Asahi present, but not counted as a CT
2 CT non-flagship		1.030	1.050	1.070	1.100	1.150
3 CT non-flagship		1.040	1.060	1.080	1.120	1.175

Asahi flagship	All surface	0.630	0.648	0.672	0.690	0.720	Asahi present [1][2]
Asahi flagship	SS(V)	1.365	1.404	1.456	1.495	1.560
Katori-class flagship + 1/2CT	All surface	1.103	1.134	1.176	1.208	1.260
Katori-class flagship + 1/2CT	SS(V)	1.523	1.566	1.624	1.668	1.740
Asahi flagship + 2CT	All surface	1.155	1.187	1.218	1.260	1.313
Asahi flagship + 2CT	SS(V)	1.595	1.639	1.682	1.740	1.813
CT list: Asahi (Base), Katori/Kai , Kashima/Kai Some level intervals have not been sampled yet. Bug: when no CT is flagship, Asahi bonuses do not work.

Notes

Like sorties, the maximum multiplier a ship girl can earn is 3.6. This would be for a flagship MVP at S-rank.
- With two CT with one married in the fleet, it is 4.23.
- It is not recommended to have a CT flagship as a more valuable ship can use that experience.
It is recommended to do night battle in order to attempt to get a higher rank for better exp.
- Participation per day in exercises is limited so it is important to maximize the exp.
Because of the way exp is calculated, even losses can yield a lot of experience.
See Exercises for calculated experience values.

Expeditions

Please see Expeditions for the experience earned from each expedition. Note that the experience listed is multiplied by 4 on a great success.

Ship Girl Exp Tables

The base level cap for all ship girls is 99.
