In-Game Tips

While probably the weakest submarine in the submarine family, Maruyu is still a kanmusu that is strongly sought after by admirals due to the fact that collecting a large number of them can be beneficial for the use of increasing the luck of a kanmusu through the use of modernization. Those who manage to collect many copies should consider training them to level 20 and upgrading to Kai to guarantee the upgrade and to increase the likely hood that your kanmusu that you feed Maruyu to will grant more luck than she would provide in her regular form. Since luck has the properties of boosting the likely hood a kanmusu can conduct a night battle cut in and also trigger a small increase in crit probabilities and evasion, players will want to collect them in due time.

Maruyu is often found via LSC, 3-5, 4-5 and 6-1 which are known to be the only locations outside of event maps which they have a tendency to appear way more frequently.

Even though Maruyu is used as luck fodder, does not mean that she doesn't have her uses in battle. Thank to the fact that most enemy units in the normal part of the game can rarely instant crit a sub once they're fully modernized, Maruyu can be used to usually tank a hit or two before she is in high need of repair. Further more, her repair time frame is among the shortest of all the kanmusu making her useful for helping along with Orel cruising, power training, and so forth since she can be brought back into battle in a short period of time.

Notes

• When used as modernization material, Maruyu can increase Luck stat by 1.2, while Maruyu Kai increases Luck by 1.6. Result will be rounded down after adding random number below 1. You can still increase a maxed-out ship's luck through modernization.
• You should use more than one ship to take advantage of the decimals. The best possible outcome is to use 5 Maruyu Kai, so the result will be a +8 to Luck with no possibility of failure. For more info, see Modernization#Luck.
• Lowest consumption, and lowest hp in the game.  Unremodeled form only consumes 5 ammo (remodeled at 10 ammo).  This makes it very useful for expeditions.  This also makes it very efficient as a tank for farming maps like 3-2A.
• While she is generally useless in battle, she can often be the difference in a victory for difficult maps, due to her ability to take shots meant for other subs, as well as having extra ships factoring positively when calculating victory/defeat results ratios that yield B vs C rank.

Trivia

• She is a very unique submarine because she was designed and operated by the Imperial Japanese Army.
• She calls herself Maruyu. This comes from the circle "〇", which is read as "Maru", and the hiragana character "ゆ" which is read as "yu".  Also, the character ゆ inside the character 〇 resembles a fish in a fishbowl. Fitting for a sub.
