Morale and Fatigue

Morale measures the morale status of a girl, with low morale being referred to as "Fatigue", and higher morale as "Sparkling".

• Girls receive bonuses or penalties depending on their morale.
• The actual stat ranges from 0 to 100 but is hidden in-game, only visible by 4 vague status symbols
• The exact values can only be viewed by using a viewer.

Morale naturally regenerates by 3 points every 3 minutes up to a soft cap of 49. Exceeding this cap requires sorties, exercises, or gifting. Please see Sparkling for more information on how to sparkle ships.

Overview

• Morale still naturally regenerates while a ship girl with 49 or less morale is on sortie or expedition.
  • This means that sorties which take 15 minutes or more can be done consecutively with a single fleet.
• Repairing ship girls below 40 morale will reset their morale to 40.
  • Using an Instant Repair can help bring damaged and fatigued ships back up to normal morale quickly.
• Remodeling a ship girl will reset her morale to 40.
• Newly obtained ship girls have 40 morale.
• The time it takes to recover to soft cap from various fatigue states is:
  • Heavy Fatigue: 30-48 minutes
  • Moderate Fatigue: 21-30 minutes
  • Slight Fatigue: 0-9 minutes
• Morale will update after every battle.
  • This means that ship girls can receive morale bonuses mid-sortie.
  • Since entering a day battle reduces morale by 3, the minimum morale needed to stay Sparkled is usually 53.
• Although morale has a maximum value of 100, it is impossible to hit that value with sorties. It is only possible through repeated exercises and using gifts.

It is possible to sort ships by moral in the Fleet menu.

Additionally, LBAS also have a moral system.

Gifting

The Gift (給) button in the Composition menu.

Gifting is the function to feed sweets to ship girls in a fleet to raise their morale. This function is available by clicking on the Gift (給) button in the Composition menu.

• The amount displayed beside the button is the total amount of Mamiya and Irako possessed.
• Either, Mamiya only, Irako only, or Both sweets can be given.
  • If the Gift button is flashing (), all 3 options can be picked.
  • If the Gift button isn't flashing, only the latter 2 options can be picked.
• Combined Fleet are still considered 2 fleets and so require separate uses.

Mamiya

Using Mamiya sets the morale of all ships in the fleet to a fixed value:

• 0-39 Morale: Set to 40.
• 40-49 Morale: Set to 50.

Irako

Using Irako increases the morale:

• Of the flagship by +25,
• Of 0 to 3 random other ship girls in the fleet by +25.

Mamiya and Irako

Using both Mamiya and Irako together increases the flagship's morale by +30 and the morale of the rest of the ship girls in the fleet by +20-31.

• Ship girls that are below 39 morale get their morale set to 40 before the bonus morale is applied.
• If the ship girls are already sparkled, the bonus morale is added on top of their current morale values.
• A single use is roughly equal to 1 Mamiya and 5 Irako used individually.
• Using this on a Striking Force Fleet applies the bonus to all 7 members.
