"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 522 equipent as of the 2024-03-03, with only 416 being genuinely obtainable.

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

The ways to acquire equipment are:

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.

All icons here and on the rest of the wiki are clickable.

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.
  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).
  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).
  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 Imp.
  • See Jets for more details.
  Reconnaissance Aircraft   Reconnaissance Aircraft Reconnaissance Aircraft  Sp LB Recon  are planes that:
 Sp Large Reconnaissance Aircraft
Land-Based For a better understanding of land-base mechanics, see Land-Based Air Squadron.
Bombers Attackers   Attackers Land-Based Attackers  bomber   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"  .
 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   Fighter Jet 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.
  Army Fighters
  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:

 LB Reconnaissance Aircraft Reconnaissance Aircraft  Sp LB Recon  are planes that:

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).

Reconnaissance Aircraft  Sp LB Recon  are planes that:

  Night Reconnaissance Seaplanes In addition to all Seaplane Recon mechanics:

  Night Recons have the 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.
  • Acts as an Reconnaissance Seaplane too in day battle (with activation rates proportionally lower with the   stat).
  • [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  Bomber Seaplane Bombers   Seaplanes are the main aircraft type used by non-carrier ships (mainly battleships, cruisers, and auxiliaries).

 Bomber Seaplane Bombers additionally act like Dive Bombers, taking part in the same air phases and sharing the same damage formulas. Additionally, they:

  Night Seaplane Bombers In addition to all Seaplane Bomber mechanics:

  Night Seaplane Bombers are required to trigger a special Night Cut-In on certain ships.

  • This cut-in also triggers the Star Shell effect and bonuses.
  Seaplane Fighters   Seaplane Fighters share all the regular Fighters mechanics, with a different set of ship equippability. Additionally, they:
  Large Flying Boats   Large Flying Boats share most of the properties of Reconnaissance Aircraft. They notably:
  • Can perform ASW attacks on their own (similar to Rotorcraft).
  • 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.
  • CV(B/L) 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 and AR 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.

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.

 Surface Surface Radars
 Air Air Radars
  Submarine Equipment Submarine Equipment are mainly used to trigger special Night Cut-Ins exlusiv to submarines.
  • Can be equipped in the RE.
  Searchlights  Small Small Searchlight    Searchlights are used to trigger a special Night Battle mechanic when equipped, playing a special animation and applying the following effects:
  • Attack accuracy and cut-in rates of the fleet are increased.
  • Cut-in rates of the enemy fleet are decreased.
  • The enemy fleet will target and hit the ship that triggered the searchlight more often, see here.

The activation rate is 100% on ships with 2 or more HP, 0% otherwise.

  • Multiple ships equipped with searchlights do not have stacking effects.
 Large Large Searchlight 
  Star Shell    Star Shells are used to trigger a special Night Battle mechanic when equipped, playing a special animation and applying the following effects:
  • Attack accuracy and cut-in rates of the fleet are increased.
  • Cut-in rates of the enemy fleet are decreased.

The activation rate is 70% on ships with 5 or more HP, 0% otherwise.

  • Multiple ships equipped with star shells do not have stacking effects.
  • There is no side effect, unlike Searchlights.
  Skilled Lookouts 
 
  Surface Ship Personnel are equippable in RE. They:
  • Increase cut-in rates in Night Battles for the ship equipping it,
  • Are required to trigger some "New Type" Cut-ins,
  • Play an animation right before cut-in animations,
  • Bring an accuracy bonus against PT Imp.
  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 
 
  Amphibious Vehicles   Amphibious Vehicles behave similarly to Landing Craft. They:
  Landing Forces   Landing Forces behave similarly to other "Landing Equipment" against Installations. They:
  • Are only used against Installations.
  • Can only be equipped on "LST" type ships (a subcategory of LHA).
  • Provide great damage boost against all installation types.
  • Can be a component of a "nuke" setup.

Additionally, when attacking an installation, the attack animation makes the ship physically move across the screen like other Landing Equipment, as it is a "landing craft" itself.

  Drum Canisters    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, and 38.
    • Increase the chance of Great Success for several expeditions.
    • They do NOT increase resource gains from expeditions when equipped.
  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.
  Armor-Piercing Shells   AP Shells are mainly used for increasing the general damage potential of batleships, with further bonuses for Artillery Spotting and Special Attacks.
  • They also play some Anti-Installation role, notably against "Hard-Skinned Installations".
  Anti-Ground Rockets   Anti-Ground Rockets are only used against Installations.
  • They provide both great multiplicative and flat damages boost against all installation types.
  Extra Armors  Medium Medium Extra Armors   Extra Armors are equippable in RE and give some extra   Armor stat.
 Large Large Extra Armors
  Engine Improvements Ship Speed can be increased to Fast, Fast+, or Fastest by using a combination of   "Turbine" and "Boilers".

  Ship Repair Facility    Ship Repair Facilities  are required for Anchorage Repairs and Emergency Anchorage Repairs.
  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.

 AGDP AGDP 
 SDP SDP 
 
  Command Facilities 
 
 
  Command Facilities are used to "evacuate" ships that are Heavily Damaged (大破) during a sortie.
Surface Ship Equipment   Smoke Generators 
 
  Smoke Generators can be used in combat to deploy a smoke screen.

 
Example of a large smoke deployed.
  • There are 3 smoke screen sizes, being Small < Medium < Large.
    • The maximum smoke size that can be generated is dependent on the number of smoke generators, being respectively 1/2/3.
  • It sharply reduces the accuracy of all fleets, proportionally to the smoke screen size (the hit rate is still capped at 11%).
    • This effect can be partially bypassed by using radars (both sides).
  • The effect will last for the day battle, even so the animation will fade before the battle's end.








 
Smoke activation button next to the Formation ones.
  • If equipped, it can be activated with a specific button when selecting the formation.
    • It can be activated multiple times per sortie until it triggers, being triggerable once, in day battle only.
  • It cannot be activated in Exercises in the current implementation.
  • The trigger rate is not 100% and depends on the fleet's flagship's luck  , as well as the amount and type of Smoke Generators used.
    • For combined fleets, it is the luck of the main flagship.
    • The size of the triggered smoke screen depends on how many smoke generators are used.
  • It will only trigger at the beginning of the Shelling phase.



 
The 3 different smoke size
  • The trigger rate depends on:
    • The number of "Smoke Generators" in the fleet
    • The flagship   Luck (secretary for Combined Fleets).
  • Regarding the equipment:
  • There is no formula yet, but a measure of trigger rate can be found here: [1].
  • It is possible to have a total trigger rate for all 3 sizes of 100%, giving the FS has enough luck & enough generators are used.






  • The smoke gives an Accuracy malus to both fleets when used:
    • Please note that these are initial estimations and are subject to change.
    • It is currently unknown if the airstrike accuracy is affected by the smoke.
    • Some modifiers are impossible to determine because the fleet hit the lower bound hit rate (11% hard cap).
    • There are some inconsistencies between "old" and "new" enemies.
    • Having a (surface ?) radar equipped reduces the smoke effect for both fleets, but only for the shelling phase.

  • AA effects:
    • The smoke affects the allied shootdown but not the enemy shootdown.
    • No fixed shootdown above 2 has been observed under a smoke.
    • The guaranteed shootdown does not seem to be affected.
    • A modifier to the Adjusted AA is suspected but there is not enough data to confirm it.
  • The Smoke reduce the Anti-Air Rocket Barrage trigger rate either directly or by reducing the Adjusted AA.

  • The effect stacks up to 3 balloons, and up to 1 balloon per ship,
  • The effect applies to LBAS and day shelling, with the enemy balloons also negatively affecting allied LBAS,
  • The effect does not apply to torpedo phases or night battles,
  • If the ship deploying it is sunk, the balloon is then removed, as well as its effects.

Consumables   Underway Replenishment 
 
Example of Underway Replenishment translated.

  Underway Replenishment s are consumable items that are used to restore fuel and ammo mid-sortie when consumed.

When entering a boss node, a prompt will appear giving a choice to use the Underway Replenishment(s) or not.

  • The cost of the resupply will be deducted from the stockpile.
  • The resupply cannot be activated when having insufficient   fuel or   ammo.
  • The amount of   fuel and   ammo resupplied depends on
    • The fleet type (single or combined)
    • How many Resupplies are carried.

The resupply rates are as follow:

  Used Single Fleet Combined Fleet
1 25 % 15 %
2 36 % 27.5 %
3 47 % 40 %

This mechanic should only be used to avoid Fuel penalty or/and Ammo penalty.

  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%
  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 an equipped ship's morale drops below a certain level during a Sortie, a ration is consumed, greatly restoring the morale of the ship,

  • The ships directly above and below in the combat screen are also given a small morale boost.

They slightly increase TP gauge drain during Transport Operations.

When a Ration is equipped on a girl upon entering a Boss Node, a prompt will appear giving a choice to use the Ration or not.

Rations consumed by a girl give a Post-cap bonus against all Installation.

Equipment Rarity

The equipment have two rarities:

  1. The system rarity, written in the equipment list
    • There are 7 rarities from common to SS++
  2. The card or visual rarity found in the equipment card design in 3 different ways:
    • The star ★ number in the bottom left corner from 1 to 7
    • The 5 different card background
    • The 5 different petals around the icon

The system rarity determines the HQ level needed to craft any given equipment. Meanwhile, the card rarity is purely cosmetic.

  • Note that the rarity is highly unreliable to judge an equipment's worth.

Old System Notes

At the beginning of the game, there was another less consistent distribution for rarity, but it was abandoned in 2014. Because of this, equipment released in 2013 and 2014 are not considered exceptions despite not following the current rules.

  • The S Holo rarity seems to be an anomaly because it follows the current rule right from the beginning of the game. This could indicate that either the rarity of some old equipment has been updated (but no evidence so far) or there were two competing systems from the beginning and at the end one was chosen.
  • The "Common" rarity has disappeared in the current system as the last common equipment was added on the 06/06/2014.
  • The old system being "messy" and old it is more difficult to identify exceptions so none will be listed.
    • Notably with the "Rising Sun Cross" having been changed to the "16 Petals" with updated CGs, that could be either corrections of exceptions or just following the new system.

Equipment Cosmetics

Each equipment in the game comes with at least one "Fairy" (just like the other NPC ones).

  • Those fairies are mostly alone, but can come in groups or followed by some animals,
  • Most fairies are "original characters", being only linked to an equipment.
    • Some fairies are seen on several equipment, mostly equipment of the same family,
    • Many fairies also represent specific ship girls, often on equipment historically tied to them.

Some gears can also have some historical details on them, especially advanced ones. Those details can be:

  • Paintings, like for specific squadron planes,
  • Fairy scenery, where the fairies are playing an historical scene,
  • The fairies themselves, where the fairies represent some historical element, like a ship's insignia.

Additionally, some equipment can be "glowing", with either the gear, part of the gear, the fairy, or part of the fairy having a glowing halo around them.

  • The equipment glowing, the part of the equipment glowing, and the color of the glowing are arbitrary.
