Introduction
Experience in Kantai Collection is divided into two types. Ship Girl experience and Admiral experience. The former makes your ship girls more powerful and the latter increases your HQ level and plays into Ranking.
Ship Girl Experience
Ship girls earn experience through sorties, expeditions and exercises.
- The most time and resource efficient way to earn experience is through exercises.
- But it is only limited to 10 times a day.
- This is the best method to level weak or expensive ship girls.
- A downside is that your experience gain is heavily dependent on other admirals putting up good fleets.
- A vast majority of ship girl experience is earned through sorties.
- See leveling for details.
- Expeditions are for minor passive exp gain.
Sorties
Experience earned in sorties is:
[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]
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{base} }[/math] is the base experience of the node.
- This is dependent upon the map and the composition faced. Please see the individual map pages for exact base exp values.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{MVP} }[/math] is the MVP bonus. It is [math]\displaystyle{ 2 }[/math] for the MVP and [math]\displaystyle{ 1 }[/math] for all other ships.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{flag} }[/math] is the flagship bonus. It is [math]\displaystyle{ 1.5 }[/math] for the flagship and [math]\displaystyle{ 1 }[/math] for all other ships.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{rank} }[/math] is the rank bonus according to the table below.
Rank | Multiplier |
---|---|
S | 1.2 |
A | 1.0 |
B | 1.0 |
C | 0.8 |
D | 0.7 |
E | 0.5 |
Important Notes
- The maximum multiplier a ship girl can earn is 3.6. This would be for a flagship MVP at S-rank.
- It isn't worth it to night battle to increase your rank in sorties. It is more time efficient to take what you get.
- Most maps heavily reward full clears.
Exercises
Experience earned in exercises is:
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{exercise} = \lfloor \text{Exp}_\text{post-cap} \times \text{Mod}_\text{MVP} \times \text{Mod}_\text{flag} \times \text{Mod}_\text{CT} \rfloor }[/math]
Experience earned through exercises has a cap where experience over 500 is square rooted.
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{post-cap} = \big\lfloor \lfloor 500 + \sqrt{\text{Exp}_\text{pre-cap}-500} \rfloor \times \text{Mod}_\text{CT} \big\rfloor }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{pre-cap} = \lfloor \frac{\text{Exp}_\text{Ship1}}{100} + \frac{\text{Exp}_\text{Ship2}}{300} \rfloor + \text{Rand} }[/math]
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{MVP} }[/math] is the MVP bonus. It is [math]\displaystyle{ 2 }[/math] for the MVP and [math]\displaystyle{ 1 }[/math] for all other ships.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{flag} }[/math] is the flagship bonus. It is [math]\displaystyle{ 1.5 }[/math] for the flagship and [math]\displaystyle{ 1 }[/math] for all other ships.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{rank} }[/math] is the rank bonus according to the table below.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{CT} }[/math] is the training cruiser bonus according to the table below.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{Ship1} }[/math] is the minimum experience value of the opponent's flagship based on #Ship Girl Exp Tables.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Exp}_\text{Ship2} }[/math]is the minimum experience value of the opponent's 2nd ship based on #Ship Girl Exp Tables.
- [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Rand} }[/math] is a random number from 0 to 3.
Rank | Multiplier |
---|---|
S | 1.2 |
A | 1.0 |
B | 1.0 |
C | 0.64 |
D | 0.56 |
E | 0.4 |
Position | Level 1-9 | Level 10-29 | Level 30-59 | Level 60-99 | Level 100+ | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Flagship | 5% | 8% | 12% | 15% | 20% | |
Non-flagship | 3% | 5% | 7% | 10% | 15% | |
Katori/Kashima Flagship + Non-flagship | 10% | 13% | 16% | 20% | 25% | Bonus determined by the level of the flagship |
Katori + Kashima Non-flagship | 4% | 6% | 8% | 12% | 17.5% | Bonus determined by the highest leveled training cruiser |
Important 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 married CT 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 that you night battle in order to attempt to get a higher rank for better exp.
- You only get limited chances to participate in exercises per day so it is important to maximise your 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.

Lieutenant-Commander (Novice) | Does not officialy exist in IJN rankings, but in practical use, it is used as an intermediary rank between Lieutenant and Lieutenant-Commander | 8 |
Notes:
- Your monthly server rank determines your title and insignia.
- High scores update twice per day (along with PvP reset at 3am and 3pm) and resets every month.
- You can get admiral experience (HQ XP) from sorties, drills and expeditions.
- Admiral experience is shown in the profile page below the Admiral Level. Admiral levels increase with experience gained.
- Admiral levels increases the maximum resource soft cap and are speculated to improve Development results.
- Refer to the Ranking section below for more detailed explanation of the mechanics.
HQ Experience from Map Sorties
Battle Ranking | HQ XP (Non-Boss) | HQ XP (Boss) |
---|---|---|
S | 100% HQ Mid Base XP | HQ Boss Base XP |
A | 80% HQ Mid Base XP | (HQ Boss - 50% HQ Mid) XP |
B | 50% HQ Mid Base XP | (HQ Boss - 80% HQ Mid) XP |
C | 0 | 100% HQ Mid Base XP (?) |
D~F | 0 | 0 |
For example, we can calculate experience gained from a 2-3 run as follows:
"A" rank at a non-boss node followed by "B" rank at boss node;
Mid XP = 80; Boss XP = 960 (from table below)
Mid point XP (A rank) = 80% × 80 = 64 XP
Boss XP (B rank) = 960 - 80% × 80 = 894 XP
Total = 64 + 894 = 960 XP
The majority of HQ XP comes from achieving victory at boss nodes.

Difficulty Tiers
In some maps (currently only on Event maps and Extra Operation maps), enemy appearance and rare drop rates vary based on your HQ level to make even new players able to finish the map. Here are the overall details of the existing difficulty tiers:
Tier | Level Range | Rare Drop Rates | Enemy Appearances | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
I | Easy | 1 - 39 | Seldom | Mostly Normal tier. Few Elites may appear. |
|
II | Normal | 40 - 79 | Few (Moderate) |
Normal and Elite tier. Few Flagships may appear. |
|
III | Hard | 80 - 99 (80 - 120) |
Moderate (High) |
Mostly Elite and Flagship tier. Few Flagship kai and special tier (bosses) may appear. |
Sometimes begins from Lv 75. |
IV | Expert | 100 - 120 | High | All possible tiers. In some cases, special tiers (bosses) may appear. |
Not always implemented. Sometimes begins from Lv 105 |
Notes:
- In case the 4th tier is not implemented, then the level ranges and drop rates in parentheses are the ones being used.
- If the 4th tier is implemented, there is a high possibility that rare ships from previous events may drop in certain nodes.
