* '''Relative strength'''. e.g. Yukikaze Kai Ni has even higher FP than some old heavy cruisers.

* '''Versatility'''. Ships(especially CL and DD) have one or more specific roles: High luck that can dispatch the boss easier, ASW, AACI, anti-installation, opening torp, seaplane fighter, and more. Some ships such as Yukikaze, Kasumi, Ise or Yahagi Kai are versatile and have multiple functionality; some ships such as Atlanta is almost only for a specific ability but do the job very well; some ships such as Yura is jack in all but master of none.

* '''Quests'''. Quests are the main source of powerful equipments for the beginners(such as Murata squadron and Oscar 65 squadron). The quest system of Kancolle is a DAG(directed acyclic graph). This means you need to level up not only the quest ships, but also the ships of the prerequisite quests. Some ships are very weak but they're required by an quest, which is the common ancestor of many important quests. In order to prevent scraping quest ships, it's recommended to buy ship slots soon after your account registration. If you're willing to scrap some ship that is your first, see the quest page first and press F3 to see if there is some quest related to her.

* '''Historical bonus'''. Kancolle events are likely to be related with historical battles in the WWII. In the most cases "historical ships" have buff on damage and accuracy, which is the key to slay the boss. Apparently the ships which survive longer in the pacific war (such as Yukikaze and Kasumi) are more likely to have historical bonus.

* '''Cost of remodeling'''. Many ships require Blueprint/Catapult. New Artillery Armanent and New Aviation Armanent and Action Reports are unlikely to be a bottleneck since they're easy to be obtained rather than consumed. It's worth to mention that Kongo, Hiei and Fletcher eat a surprisingly high amount of devmats, which require you to press F5 repeatly in 2-4.

== Blueprint priority ==

== Blueprint priority ==

Very High = You level up these ships in order to clear casual/easy maps

Very High = You remodel  these ships in order to clear casual/easy maps

High = You level up these ships in order to clear medium maps

High = You remodel these ships in order to clear medium maps

Low = You level up these ships in order to clear hard maps

Low = You remodel  these ships in order to clear hard maps

Very Low = it's unlikely that leveling these ships will make your fleet stronger

Very Low = Only if you have abundant BP or a specific reason (e.g. historical bonus ship)

If you do not have some ships with "high" priority, just ignore them and start to remodel some ships in "low" if there is some BP. You should convert BP to force multipliers as soon as possible.

===Very High===

===Very High===

[[Yahagi Kai Ni B]] (1BP): Queen of light cruisers. Overpower strong and versatile. 4 slots. Can launch opening torpedo. Can carry Kami tanks and seaplane fighters. Very high firepower and torp. She should be your first aim of LSC as long as you've unlocked the LSC system (It's not recommended for beginners to LSC Yamato and Musashi, however).

[[Nagato Kai Ni]] (1BP): Nagato Special Attack can easily clear the most maps on Easy/Medium, and is the last hope of some very hard maps.

[[Kaga Kai Ni]] (2BP, Catapult): It was controversial that if beginners should level up cardiv 1 (Akagi, Kaga) or cardiv 5(Shoukaku, Zuikaku) first. But it's worth to remodel Kaga first, since she have 5 slots with a large deck size which can help you clear the non-event maps easily. Her quest rewards [[Prototype Shuusui|a rocket interceptor]], which is a prerequisite of medium/hard events (without a rocket interceptor it's almost impossible to get base defense AS, which is always a criterium of path opening/debuffing). In late game you can remodel her to Kaga Kai Ni Go to get an overpowered aircraft [[TBM-3W+3S|TBM-3W + 3S]].

[[Akagi Kai Ni]](2BP, Catapult): Almost same as Kaga. You need both to get two of the best torpedo bombers [[Ryuusei Kai (CarDiv 1/Skilled)]] [AKA Fuchida squadron].

[[Mutsu Kai Ni]](1BP): Similar to Nagato. Moreover, if Nagato Kai Ni is the 1st ship and Mutsu Kai Ni is the 2nd, the damage of Nagato special attack will further increase.

[[Yuubari Kai Ni Toku]](1BP): the former queen of CL. But it's still adviced to have one, as her quest rewards a [[Type D Kouhyouteki Kai (Kouryuu Kai)|Type D Kouhyouteki]].

[[Kongou Kai Ni C]](2BP): Can perform night special attack which is often crucial after the night firepower cap was lifted to 360. But 300 devmats are a painful burden...

[[Gotland Andra]](1BP, Catapult): Her functionality is similar to Noshiro Kai Ni. Quest rewards a [[Fairey Seafox Kai|Seafox]] which is very useful for Nelson. But since she eats a catapult, it's recommended to remodel CV and BBV that require catapults first.
