**As of January 2025, the most effective special DLC/Tank that can deal with {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess}} '''alone''' (Hitting the day cap - 220 base damage before armor) are as follows (From strongest to weakest):

**Such comp lacks opening airstrike so it's best to use {{ShipLink|Shoukaku Kai Ni A}} or {{ShipLink|Zuikaku Kai Ni A}} with [[Jet]] to sink as many enemies as possible.

Latest revision as of 19:17, 7 January 2025

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 for luck modding
  • DE for HP/ASW/Luck modding

Maruyu

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

For more information on this topic, see Maruyu modding.

LSC

Maruyu is a reliable LSC craft

  • She can be crafted by using the minimum resource amounts.
  • Her crafting rate can be improved by crafting with as few "free docks" as possible.
  • LSC attempts are advised only when reaching the resource caps in order to avoid wasting any resource gains.
Maruyu
FuelAmmunitionSteelBauxiteDevelopment materialNote
15001500200010001Recommended recipe
Notes
  • Unlike other recipes, the number of free docks should be minimum (ideally 1).

Sorties

Dropping Maruyu is usually the best way to farm her as it is cheaper than the LSC cost.

3-5

3-5 is the best place to farm Maruyu, being relatively cheap and fast. The main downside are the moral drain resulting from ending the sortie on an "off-route node" and it doesn't give ranking point much.

  • It is important to first clear the map in order to have the proper drop rate.

Drop rate:

Enemy Compositions HQ ≥ 85 HQ ≤ 84
Enemy Banner Northern Princess III.pngEnemy Banner Floating Fortress.pngEnemy Banner Floating Fortress II.pngEnemy Banner Heavy Cruiser Ri-Class Flagship.pngEnemy Banner Destroyer Ro-Class Late Model.pngEnemy Banner Destroyer Ro-Class Late Model.png 1.4% 0%
Last Dance
Post-Clear 		2.5%
All Other Enemy Compositions 0%
  • This means it is impossible to get her here if the HQ is 84 or lower.
Recommended Fleet
  • 1 (F)BB(V), 3 CVL, 2 CAV/AV
  • Route = B D H J
Tips
  • Node H flagship is a soft-skin installationNorthern Princess V, requiring equipment such as Anti-Aircraft Shell AA Shells and Landing CraftAmphibious Vehicle Landing Equipment.
  • It is recommended to bring a Nelson-class to utilize her touch.
  • The CAV/AV should be preferably Mogami-class Kai Ni TokuMogami Kai Ni Toku
    Mikuma Kai Ni Toku    .
  • As the final node is a resource node, it is possible to continue the sortie even when being taiha on H.
  • The uses of Amphibious Vehicle Ka-Tsu tanksSpecial Type 4 Amphibious Tank
    Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai     is recommended in order to boost the Ammunition ammo gain on the final node, raising the base 50 gain to 130 when using 2 kat-su+ka-tsu kai pairs (+1~10 gain when improved).

4-5

4-5 has the cheapest comp to farm Maruyu, also pretty fast to gain a large amount of ranking point. The main downside is her rate changes depends on whether you own any copies of her.

Recommended Fleet
  • 2 (F)BB(V)/CV(L/B), 1 CL, 3 DD
    • Route = Random:
      A D H T
      C D H T
  • Fleet setup reference:

Drop rate:

Enemy Compositions 0 Maruyu 1+ Maruyu
Enemy Banner Harbour Princess II.pngEnemy Banner Floating Fortress.pngEnemy Banner Floating Fortress II.pngEnemy Banner Battleship Ru-Class Kai Flagship.pngEnemy Banner Heavy Cruiser Ne-Class Elite.pngEnemy Banner Transport Ship Wa-Class Flagship.png

Enemy Banner Harbour Princess II.pngEnemy Banner Floating Fortress II.pngEnemy Banner Battleship Ru-Class Kai Flagship.pngEnemy Banner Heavy Cruiser Ne-Class Elite.pngEnemy Banner Transport Ship Wa-Class Flagship.pngEnemy Banner Transport Ship Wa-Class Elite.png

3% 1.75%
All Other Enemy Compositions 2% 0.75%

Therefore, it's only recommended to farm Maruyu here if you don't own any copies of her in the base.

Tips

6-2

Recommended Fleet
  • 1 (F)BB(V), CV(B), 2 CAV/AV, 2 DD
  • Route = C E J K

Drop rate: 2.0 %

Tips

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.

For more information on this topic, see DE modding.

Sorties

  • DE can only be obtained via drops, and only limited time drops so far. Thus, there is almost no truly reliable way to farm them.
  • 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 duplicates of a certain DE will decrease its drop rate on all maps.
      • Using an individual DE as fodder 10+ times will start decreasing its drop rate on all maps, as seen in map 1-3. It's safe to assume the same counter is applied for map 7-4.
For more information on this topic, see Overfishing Cap.

7-4

So far, only 7-4 has a constant set of DE drops, making it a reliable farming location.

Recommended Fleet

Drop rate:

  • The drop rate of all DE here depends on the above-mentioned drop behaviors, as well as the current limited drop pool.
  • To check their drop rate, please refer to KcNav or PoiDB.
Tips
  • 4 OASW (with 3 strongs) is the absolute minimum requirement to stabilize the route. Fewer than 4 will increase the retreat rate.
    • A "strong OASW" is defined as a setup utilizing ASW Synergy (Small Sonar + Depth Charge). For Hyuuga Kai NiHyuuga Kai Ni, Helicopter + Zuiun (Kai Ni) + Sonar will also work.
    • It is important to keep in mind that most retreats here are due to submarines. Especially at HQ 120 where 7-4 is mutated into its last scaling stage, node J always has 3 So-Class FlagshipSubmarine So-Class Flagship, the boss gains more armor, and the boss node in LD always has a So-Class Flagship as well, making farming more difficult if lacking enough strong OASW.
  • CVE should be either Zuihou or Ryuuhou for OASW. While not as strong as the strong OASW setup above, they can still sink some weaker submarines on the way.
  • Hyuuga Kai NiHyuuga Kai Ni should not have the usual 2 gun setup as it does not work well there, reducing the clear rate. It is better to give her 2 fighters to carry air power, along with 3 other equipment that can deal with submarines as mentioned above.
  • All DE have damage, accuracy, and evasion bonuses here, so they can be a good option to bring along. One of them can be used as flagship to get as much EXP as possible, making this map one of the best options to grind them.
  • Shigure also has great accuracy and evasion bonuses (but no damage bonus), being the only DD with any bonus here, making her a great DD pick when paired with her above mentioned RE capability.
  • For LBAS:
    • 4 fighters that will never be pulled out of this LBAS and never resupplied. Their slots will never go below 3 and can continue sortieing to keep the cost cheap.
    • In this map, split the attacks and target both node E and the boss node P for the best efficiency.
