Equipment

"Equipment" are gears meant to be fitted on girls to enhance their combat capacity, adding several sets of Stats and unlocking certain Mechanics.

• There are 484 equipent as of the 31/01/2023 update.

Equipment come in multiple types and categories, using different icons (sometimes overlapping between categories), each with its own behaviors and equipability.

The main ways to acquire equipment are:

• Development (crafting),
• Ships' stock gears,
• Improvement upgrades,
• Quests rewards,
• Ranking rewards,
• Event rewards,
• Shop purchases (some "Consumables Equipment" only).

Equipment Categories, Types, Icons, and Mechanics

Every piece of equipment in the game has an icon, regrouping them by type, giving a quick visual indicator of what a given equipment is.

• One icon can be shared with different equipment types.
• Some icons are used for a single equipment.
• Some equipment icons on the wiki will be displayed with "text" Text, indicating special notes like stats or sub-types of equipment.
  • Categories labeled as Sp are for "special subtypes", types of equipment with the same mechanics as their normal main type, but corresponding to "larger variants", equipable on respectively larger or more capable ships.

Aircraft

Aircraft
Equipment Types			Mechanics
For a better understanding of plane-related mechanics, see Aerial Combat
Carriers-Bassed			Those planes are mainly equipable on Carriers (CV/CVB/CVL).
Fighters	Fighters		Fighters/ are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to bring Air Power during the 1st Aerial Stage, with their "Fighter Power" stat being the most important factor in this regard. Fighters are additionally needed for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI) during the day Shelling. They can be used in Land Bases to serve the same role as Interceptors.
	Night Fighters
Dive Bombers	Dive Bombers		Dive Bombers are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to do damage during the Airstrike, with their "Dive Bombing" stat being the most important factor in this regard. Dive Bombers are additionally needed for dealing damage during day Shelling, especially for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI). They are vulnerable to shoot down during most Aerial Combat phases. They bring some accuracy bonus against PT boats. They cannot attack Installations unless they are Anti-Installation Dive Bombers.
	Fighter-Bombers		"Fighter-Bombers" are "Dive Bombers", both behaving the exact same way, with the only notable difference being the Improvement effects given by .
Torpedo Bombers	Torpedo Bombers		Torpedo Bombers/ are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to do damage during the Airstrike, with their "Torpedo" stat being the most important factor in this regard. Torpedo Bombers are additionally needed for dealing damage during day Shelling, especially for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI). They can trigger Contact. They are vulnerable to shoot down during most Aerial Combat phases.
	Night Torpedo Bombers
Jet-powered Fighter-Bombers			Jets are a special type of carrier-based bombers that follow the same damage calculation as regular Dive Bombers using the "dive bombing" stat, while providing great additional "air power" , as well as "Long Range" . They will notably carry out an additional exclusive attack called "Jet Assault" (JA) before the beginning of any battle. They cannot trigger the CVCI. They bring some accuracy bonus against PT boats. See Jets for more details.
Reconnaissance Aircraft	Reconnaissance Aircraft		Reconnaissance AircraftSpLBRecon are planes that: Can trigger Contact. Does not contribute Fighter Power in Aerial Combat, and so cannot be shot down during it (can be shot down during Detection). When equipped to a Land Base: Can extend the minimum Combat Radius in Sortie Mode. Add a bonus multiplier to the total Defense Fighter-Power of the base in Air Defense Mode. Can contribute Fighter Power (if it has any Proficiency or ), and can be shot down.
	Sp Large Reconnaissance Aircraft
Land-Based			For a better understanding of land-base mechanics, see Land-Based Air Squadron.
Bombers	Attackers	Attackers	Land-Based Attackersbomber are the main type of bomber used on LBAS. Their most important stats are "torpedo" against regular ship, and "dive bombing" against Installations, as well as their "combat radius" . See Land-Based Air Squadron for more details
		bomber Army Attackers
		Assault Aircraft (Army Attackers)
		Patrol Aircraft	Land-Based Patrol Aircraft are counted as regular Land-Based Attackers on every aspect. Additionally, Patrol Aircraft are ASW Aircraft, and so are mainly used for ASW (see here).
	Large Aircraft	Heavy Bombers	Land-Based Heavy Bombers mostly work like other Land-Based Attackers, but unlike them, they have only 9 planes in LBAS slots, instead of 18, as well as slightly worse damage modifiers, dividing their base attack power by about half.
Interceptors/Fighters	Army Fighters		Land-Based Fighters/Interceptors are LBAS exclusive fighters, that are used to either: Provide Sortie Fighter-Power, where the "fighter Power" , "interception" , and "combat radius" stats are the most important, Intercept enemy bombers, where the "fighter Power" , "interception" , and especially the "anti-bomber" stats are the most important.
	Navy Fighters	Navy Fighters
		Rocket Interceptors	High Altitude Interceptors multiply the total air power of all land bases in Air Defense mode, when defending against enemy High-Altitude Bombers. The multiplier depends on the number of high altitude interceptors equipped and which difficulty the event map is played on: High Altitude Interceptors Me 163B Prototype Shuusui Shuusui Airpower modifier against high altitude raids: Event Map Difficulty Number of High Altitude Interceptors Defending 0 1 2 3+ Casual/Easy: 1x 1.1x 1.2x Medium/Hard: 0.5x 0.8x
LB Reconnaissance Aircraft			Reconnaissance AircraftSpLBRecon are planes that: Can trigger Contact. When equipped to a Land Base: Can extend the minimum Combat Radius in Sortie Mode. LB Land-based Recons will additionally: Add a bonus damage multiplier to all Aircraft in the base. Add a bonus multiplier to the total Sortie Fighter-Power of the base. Add a bonus multiplier to the total Defense Fighter-Power of the base in Air Defense Mode. Can contribute Fighter Power (if it has any Proficiency or ), and can be shot down.
Seaplanes			Planes only compatible with ships having the appropriate catapult (mainly battleships, cruisers, and auxiliaries)
"Multi-Role Seaplanes"	Recon Reconnaissance Seaplanes	Recon Reconnaissance Seaplanes	Seaplanes are the main aircraft type used by non-carrier ships (mainly battleships, cruisers, and auxiliaries). They are notably required to trigger Artillery Spotting. Reconnaissance AircraftSpLBRecon are planes that: Can trigger Contact. Does not contribute Fighter Power in Aerial Combat, and so cannot be shot down during it (can be shot down during Detection). When equipped to a Land Base: Can extend the minimum Combat Radius in Sortie Mode. Add a bonus multiplier to the total Defense Fighter-Power of the base in Air Defense Mode. Can contribute Fighter Power (if it has any Proficiency or ), and can be shot down.
		Night Reconnaissance Seaplanes	In addition to all Seaplane Recon mechanics: Night Recons are normal Seaplane Recon with the extra ability to trigger "Night Contact". The scouting phase animation will not show up like day battles; instead, the night recon plane's animation is played in the enemy fleet's radar. [Bug] In a Combined Fleet situation, if a ship in the fleet equipped with a night scout is evacuated from the combined fleet using the Fleet Command Facility, the night recon can still trigger and activate as the fleet proceeds onward and enters a night battle.
	Bomber Seaplane Bombers		Seaplanes are the main aircraft type used by non-carrier ships (mainly battleships, cruisers, and auxiliaries). They are notably required to trigger Artillery Spotting. Bomber Seaplane Bombers additionally act like Dive Bombers, taking part in the same air phases and sharing the same damage formulas. Additionally, they: Play some minor Anti-Installation role. Bring an accuracy bonus against PT boats.
Seaplane Fighters			Seaplane Fighters share all the regular Fighters mechanics, with a different set of ship equippability. Additionally, they: Play some minor Anti-Installation role. Bring an accuracy bonus against PT boats.
Large Flying Boats			Large Flying Boats notably: Can trigger Contact and Detection. Allow AV to perform ASW attacks. Increase the minimum Range of Land Bases, from +1 to +3 range depending on the base's unmodified range. Can be used in the Air Reconnaissance nodes mechanic. When equipped in any slot size, the plane count is dropped down to 1, refunding any bauxite. Although it is a scout which does not actually participate in Aerial Combat mechanics-wise, it is still included in the launching animation if other planes are launched.
Misc			Some auxiliary aircraft, mainly used for ASW.
Rotorcraft	Autogyros		Rotorcraft are ASW Aircraft, being used to trigger some OASW and Land-based ASW attacks. As they do not have any Dive Bombing stat, they do not participate to Phases 2 & 3 of Aerial Combat and are immune to shootdown. They: Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start an aerial battle on their own. Allow BBV, CAV, AV, and LHA to perform ASW attacks. CVL and Kaga Kai Ni Go equipped with them will still require a Dive Bomber or a Torpedo Bomber to attack submarines, as they are unable to attack anything without a bomber. AS, AR, and some CVB can equip them, but the former cannot attack SS, and the latter has a carrying capacity of 0 so they do not function. AO can equip them, but their attack animation will still be a depth charge animation. Their LBAS Combat Radius cannot be extended.
	Helicopters
Liaison Aircraft			Liaison Aircraft are ASW Aircraft, being used to trigger some OASW and Land-based ASW attacks. Command Liaison Aircraft do not have any Dive Bombing stat, and so do not participate to Phases 2 & 3 of Aerial Combat and are immune to shootdown. They: Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start an aerial battle on their own. CV/L equipped with it will still require a Dive Bomber or a Torpedo Bomber to attack submarines, as it is unable to attack anything without a bomber. Cannot have their LBAS Combat Radius extended. Hayabusa ASW Hayabusa have some Dive Bombing stat that counts toward Shelling and allow them to take part in regular Aerial Combat. They cannot trigger any CVCI. Only a random amount of this stat will be counted against Installations. In LBAS anti-ship strikes, their is used, and they are counted as regular Land-Based Attackers. Proficiency gives them increased Fighter Power like fighters.

Anti-Installation Dive Bombers			Dive-Bombers that can attack installations This is a segment from a bigger article. See Combat/Anti-Installation for details on Installation mechanics. Carriers will only attack installations in the shelling phase if equipped with Torpedo Bombers or Anti-Installation Dive Bombers. Additionally, carriers will attack installations if equipped with non-special dive bombers AND one of the special dive bombers below. Any other dive bomber will completely disable shelling against installations even if the carrier has a torpedo bomber equipped. This can be very useful to manipulate the targeting mechanic so the carriers attack important targets.

Landing Craft	TP Transport DLC		Landing Craft can serve in several roles: "Transport Craft" (type 1) are best at increasing the resources gained from expeditions, "Landing Tanks" (type 2 & 3) deal more damage to installations, being an essential component of "nuke set-ups" (see Anti-Installation), "Armed Boats" (type 4) act mostly like Landing Tanks, and have some additional bonus, against PT Imp notably. Each Landing Craft equipped will increase "TP Gauge" drain by 8 during Transport Operations. Each Landing Craft equipped (except for "Landing Tanks type 3") will increase resource gain on Resource Nodes and Expeditions.
	Tank Landing Tanks
	Armed Armed Boats
Tanks			Amphibious Vehicles behave similarly to Landing Craft. They: Deal great damage to installation, being an essential component of the "nuke" (see Anti-Installation). Increase expedition resources gain. Greatly increase Resource Nodes resources gain. Slightly increase TP gauge drain during Transport Operations. Allow Submarines to participate in the shelling phase against Installations, by launching the tank in battle.
Drums			Drum Canisters are not "combat equipment", and so are mostly used for non-combat mechanics. They: Increase resource gains on Resource Nodes in sorties. Can affect Routing on certain maps. Slightly increase TP gauge drain during Transport Operations. Are required to trigger a "New Type" Cut-in. Are required for expeditions 21, 37, 38, 44, & E2. Can also increase the chance of Great Success for those expeditions as well as 24 & 40. They do NOT increase resource gains from expeditions.
Anti-Aircraft Fire Directors			Anti-Aircraft Fire Directors (AAFD) are quipable in RE. They provide a good Anti-Air boost, and are required to trigger some AACI. They are notably used to provide AA and accuracy when improved .
Shells	Anti-Aircraft Shells		AA Shells are mainly used for an Anti-Installation role, notably dealing great damages to "Soft-Skinned Installations". They also provide some minor Anti-Air boost, and are required to trigger some AACI. The can be equipped in the RE of FBB, BB, BBV, CA, and CAV.

Aviation Personnels	SCAMP SCAMP		Aviation Personnels are used to bring various buff and/or mechanics, notably enhancing the performances of Carriers. See each individual pages for more details.
	NOAP NOAP
	AGDP AGDP
	SDP SDP
Command Facilities			Depending on the type, Command Facilities provide different fleet support roles, such as: "Evacuation" of ships that are Heavily Damaged (大破) during a sortie, Increased trigger rate for Support Expeditions.
Saiun (Disassembled for Transport)			A removed legacy equipment.
Consumables	Underway Replenishment		Fleet Oilers (AO) can notably refuel ships mid-sortie using Underway Replenishment. They can also carry Landing Craft, which is useful for Resource Farming.
	Emergency Repair Personnel		Selection of which type of Emergency Repair Personnel to consume to advance (left buttons), or to retreat (right button). "Emergency Repair Personnel " are consumable items: As "consumables", they do not take any equipment slot and appear in the Inventory and are equippable in RE. Ships entering a battle whilst Heavily Damaged (大破) have a chance to be Sunk (撃沈) . In the case of the flagship, being Heavily Damaged (大破) will force a retreat after that node. Equipping at least one Emergency Repair Personnel can prevent the equipped ship from sinking, by reviving it after being sunk. If this is equipped on a flagship, the player can use this before heading to another node. If both Personnel & Goddess are equipped, then it is possible to choose which one to use (see the picture). Emergency Repair Personnel can only repair the ship they are equipped on. Once repaired, a ship becomes unsinkable for the rest of the battle, including night battle. The item is consumed upon activation. The restored ships will be as followed: Emergency Repair Personnel HP recovered when sunk HP recovered on flagship Fuel/Ammo restored Emergency Repair Personnel 20% 50% 0% Emergency Repair Goddess 100% 100% 100% Planes are not resupplied.
	Combat Rations		Selection of whether to use a ration or not, before a boss node. "Rations" are consumable items: As "consumables", they do not take any equipment slot and appear in the Inventory and are equippable in RE. When equipped on a ship, they are consumed during a Sortie when either: The boss node is reached, a prompt appearing to ask whether to consume or not the rations, The sortie reaches 3 battles, having a random chance to trigger onward (probably linked to ship's morale dropping below a certain level). When rations are consumed: The morale of the carrying ship is greatly increased, The morale of both adjacent ships is moderately increased, If several different rations are equipped, all are consumed, the moral boost synergizing. Additionally: They slightly increase TP gauge drain during Transport Operations. Rations consumed by a girl give a post-cap bonus against all Installations.
