This article is meant to be a rough guideline to help you determine which girls you should be leveling. Included in this is which girls you should be using your limited blueprints, action reports and prototype catapults on. Event-only girls are listed separately due to their rarity. Any girl not listed here can be considered low priority.

Included in this is which girls you should be using your limited blueprints, action reports, and prototype catapults on. Event-only girls are listed separately due to their rarity. Any girl not listed here can be considered low priority.
The bare minimum you'll require for events is '''7DD 1CL 3CA/V 4FBB 2CV 2CVL'''. This covers all combined fleet combinations with no extra capacity for ship locks or historical ships.

The priority of a BB changes depending on their type. Fast battleships, slow battleships and aviation battleships all have their own special niche. For a player just starting out, fast BBs can fill in for slow BBs. They won't have the raw power of a slow BB, but they'll perform adequately in the role.

Standard Fleet Carriers are the backbone of the Fleet when it comes to providing Fighter Support and Opening Airstrikes against enemies. As Aircraft are their main weaponry, their slot size and distribution determines the usefulness of the Carrier. Armoured Carriers are capable of attacking while in Chuuha damage state.

==CVL==
=Light Carrier (CVL)=
CVLs, as their name suggests, are just smaller CVs. They are used as substitutes for CVs when routing or fleet composition rules stop you from taking CVs. CVLs perform the same roles that CVs do, providing air support and powerful striking power. Like CVs, slot size and distribution plays a large role in determining how useful they are. CVLs are important to have around because of Combined Fleet composition requirements - STF and TCF limit CVs. They are also useful in normal maps where you want to reduce the resource cost.

=Submarines (SS/V)=
SSs are of limited usefulness. Their main role is to be bait for leveling in certain maps. Despite this, there have been a number of events where cheesing with submarines is a viable strategy. Therefore it is recommended that you have a few good submarines to prepare for that eventuality.

==AO==
=Auxiliary (AX)=
This category covers seaplane tenders (AV), fleet oilers (AO), submarine tenders (AS), repair ships (AR), amphibious assault ships (LHA), and training cruisers (CT). Each of these have their own niche but their primary use is for routing. The priorities listed here are based off their niche performance. If they are required for special event routing, it is recommended they go to the top of the priority list.
