Introduction
Stats are the numeric values that represent a ship girl's capabilites. Some stats can be increased through Modernization or leveling while others can only be increased through leveling.
The following information covers most of the basic understandings behind how the mechanics work and how they influence certain factors when partaking in Sorties.
List of Stats
All ship girl's have stats which are shown through their display which can be viewed in the Composition, Remodel, or Repair. These stats as the previous mention cover all the factors which influence their overall performance in sorties in general. The follow stats shown are as follows:
HP
HP denotes the maximum health of a ship girl.
- As she takes damage, damage states will display over her banner.
- Lightly Damaged (小破): Displays when a ship girl has lost 25% HP. She will say one of her minor damage lines. Combat ability is unaffected.
- Moderately Damaged (中破): Displayed when a ship girl has lost 50% HP. She will say her major damage line and her CG will change to the damaged version (if it hasn't changed yet). She takes a minor hit to her combat ability as detailed in damage calculations. Non-armoured carriers lose the ability to perform carrier attacks and closing torpedoes are disabled. She will gain a bonus to her night battle special attack trigger rate.
- Heavily Damaged (大破): Displayed when a ship girl has lost 75% HP. She will say her major damaged line and her CG will change to the damaged version (if it hasn't changed yet). She takes a major hit to her combat ability as detailed in damage calculations. All carriers become unable to perform carrier attacks. She will be unable to attack during night battle. All attacks against her will be reduced to chip damage in the same battle that she was heavily damaged in.
Be warned that proceeding to the next node while heavily damaged puts a ship girl at risk of sinking. It is advised to retreat unless equipped with a Repair Team or Repair Goddess.
- Sunk: Displayed when a ship girl loses all her HP. She will say her sinking line and be unable to continue to participate in sortie. She will be removed from your ship list and all equipment she has on her will be lost. You will need to find a new copy to replace her.
- It can be increased through Modernization using Destroyer Escorts and Marriage
Firepower
Firepower determines the ship girl's effectiveness during shelling and contributes to her effectiveness in night battle.
- See Damage Calculations for how firepower plays into damage.
- It can be increased through Modernization and leveling.
- The maximum firepower has a fixed cap depending on ship and remodel.
- Firepower can be increased further using equipment.
- It is combined with torpedo when calculating night battle power.
Armor
Armour determines how resilient a ship girl is to attacks.
- See Defense Power on how armour plays into reducing damage.
- It can be increased through Modernization and leveling.
- The maximum armour has a fixed cap depending on ship and remodel.
- Armour can be increased further using equipment.
- High enough armour can reduce damage taken to chip damage.
Torpedo
Torpedo determines the strength of a ship girl's torpedo attacks and contributes to her effectiveness in night battle.
- See Damage Calculations on how torpedo plays into damage.
- It can be increased through Modernization and leveling.
- The maximum torpedo has a fixed cap depending on ship and remodel.
- Torpedo can be increased further using equipment.
- Torpedo is ignored when attacking installation-type enemies.
Evasion
Evasion determines how likely a ship girl is to evade an attack.
- See Evasion on how evasion is calculated.
- It can only be increased through leveling.
- Evasion has no fixed cap, a ship girl will keep gaining evasion as she levels according to her specific evasion growth rate.
- Evasion can be increased further using equipment.
- Due to the way evasion is soft-capped, it is mostly ineffective as a defensive stat.
Anti-Air
Anti-Air contributes to how effective a ship girl will be at shooting down planes during the air defense phase.
- See Anti-Air Fire on how AA plays into plane shootdown.
- It can be increased through Modernization and leveling.
- The maximum AA has a fixed cap depending on ship and remodel.
- AA can be increased further using equipment.
- Due to the way the formula works, equipment AA and AACI counts for a lot more towards shoot downs.
Plane Capacity
Plane Capacity is how many planes a ship girl can hold. The importance of this stat varies for each ship girl. By itself, it also doesn't tell you much about the effectiveness of the ship girl in aerial operations. Other factors like slot size and slot layout play a more important role.
- It is most important for carriers because it determines how much damage they can do during airstrikes and how effective they are at contesting air control.
- See Aerial Combat for more details on this.
- It is somewhat important for aviation battleships and aviation cruisers because it plays a role in determining how effective they are at contesting air control.
- Slot size plays a much larger part because of how small their slots are.
- For seaplane fighter capable light cruisers and submarine carriers it is just important that they have plane capacity.
- It is of minor importance to battleships, heavy cruisers and light cruisers because slot size affects the trigger rate of daytime spotting attacks.
- See Artillery Spotting for more details on this.
Anti-Sub Warfare (ASW)
ASW determines the ship girl's effectiveness versus submarines.
- See Damage Calculations for how it plays into ASW attack.
- It can be increased through Modernization using Destroyer Escorts and leveling.
- ASW has no fixed cap, a ship girl will keep gaining ASW as she levels according to her specific ASW growth rate.
- Due to the way ASW attack is weighted towards equipment ASW, the ASW of the ship only matters when it comes to achieving Opening Anti-Submarine Warfare thresholds.
Speed
Speed just denotes the speed of the ship. It effects routing in maps and eligibility for the escort fleet in Combined Fleets.
- It can only be improved through certain equipment combinations. See Improving Ship Speed for details.
- Getting ships to Fast+ or Fastest can affect routing in maps.
- Increasing speed is supposed to provide bonuses to evasion but said effect is either bugged or unnoticeable.
Line of Sight
Line of Sight (LoS) signifies how well a ship girl can find enemies. It plays a role in Detection, Artillery Spotting trigger rate, and routing requirements.
- It can only be increased through leveling.
- LoS has no fixed cap, a ship girl will keep gaining LoS as she levels according to her specific LoS growth rate.
- LoS can be increased further using equipment.
- Due to how equipment LoS is weighted for spotting trigger rate and routing, equipment LoS is much more important than ship girl LoS.
Range
Range determines a ship girl's attack order during the first shelling phase and opening ASW.
- Range is fixed depening on ship girl and remodel.
- It can only be increased using certain equipment.
- See Range for more information.
Luck
Luck plays a role in many things. The most important role of luck is determining the trigger rate of night battle special attacks and anti-air barrages. It plays a minor role in evasion and accuracy.
- Luck is fixed based on ship and remodel.
- It can be increased through Modernization using Destroyer Escorts and Maruyu; and Marriage.
Accuracy
Accuracy is not displayed on the ship girl information menu but it is a stat that is displayed on some equipment. It determines how likely a ship girl is to land her attacks.
- See Accuracy Formulas for all the formulas used to calculate accuracy.
Stat Conditions
ship girl sometimes displays indications in which you can be notified about the condition your ship is in when they are participating in a sortie or other factors. Most of these conditions are a good way of being able to know the condition in which your ship girl is in, or is a current battle or following a sortie.
- Evacuated- A special condition that occurs only during Combined fleets where a ship is pulled out from s combined fleet and is forced to retreat through the use of a Fleet Command Facility, the icon is ship girl's icon is grey out and left with grey text to indicate she has been evacuated back to your main base, she'll remain unusable for the remainder of the sortie till the rest of your fleet returns to Home Port.
- Fatigue - Ships with this icon indicate that they are suffering from low morale which will result in a slight reduction in their battle performance. The most recommended remedy to this is to let to ship girl take a break for several minutes (15 minutes roughly) to recover moral so she can return to normal.
- Heavy Fatigue - Ships with this icon indicate that they are suffering from very low morale which will result in a drastic reduction in their battle performance. The most recommended remedy to this is to let to ship girl take a break for a while (30 minutes roughly) to recover moral so she can return to normal.
- Expedition - ship girl with this label are part of an expedition fleet that is currently conducting an expedition. Fleets sent on an expedition are unable to be removed from the fleet nor can their equipment be removed and will remain with this label until the fleet has returned from the expedition.
- Repair - Fleets that are labeled in this are currently being repaired in the Docking area. You can safely remove them from the fleet, but cannot have their equipment removed and will not be usable until they have finished their repairs.
