Large Ship Construction Recipe

The following are optimized recipe using data from the vita version[4].

General rule for using the recipe:

  • Minimum recipe is the minimum resource to have a chnace to obtain the desire ship.
  • Increasing the resource does increase the rate and is recommended.
    • Depending on the pool increasing some resource is more effective than other.
    • Like normal construction resource should be increases by step. The steps are present collasped in the recipes table.
    • Unless capped it is not recommended to increase the   Devmats cost.
  • Unless stated otherwise haveing more dock free increase the rate.
    • That means LSC should not be done one after another because the "in construction" docks will decrease the rate.

  • Unlike other recipe the number of free docks should be minimum (ideally 1).

Note
  • This recipe should be use first if neither Yamato nor Musashi are in possession.
  • If Musashi is constructed first, use the "Yamato only" recipe below for Yamato instead.
  • Using the adequat secretary this reciped can be used to construct Bismarck or Warspite.
    • However note that it will greatly reduced the rate of both Yamato and Musashi.

Old Empiricla Recipes

Using any of the above mentioned Helper is either required or discouraged, depending on the targeted craft.

  • When crafting a ship requiring a helper, then said helper is mandatory,
  • However, when crafting any other ship, using those helpers will decrease the crafting rate of the targeted ship.

Notes
  • Regarding the use of 1/20/100   Devmats:
    • The amount used affects the pool of craftable ships, with some ships only appearing with 20+ Devmats.
    • Using 100 Devmats does give better rates for some heavier ships, but the gain is often too marginal to justify this cost increase.
    • E.g.:
      • I-401 chances are improved with 1 dev mat.
      • Yamato appears with all dev mat inputs.
      • Bismarck and Musashi do not appear with 1 dev mat.
      • Aiming for Bismarck before Musashi can help save both resources and Devmats as Musashi can always appear from a Bismarck attempt, but not necessarily the other way around (if a German ship is not used).
Sources
  • Based on Poi-Statistics.
  • Kancolle DB reports include all development materials and Secretary used. This is especially noticeable for BB recipes where the number of attempts with/without Z1/Z3 skew the results towards either Bismarck or Yamato-class significantly. However, since the data sets are still significantly less biased than wikiwiki reports, it gives a better idea of what to expect.
