{{Details|Fatigue}} Fatigue is accumulated when you send your ships to sortie and it stacks through subsequent sorties. How much fatigue accumulates depends on performance in battle. When you see the face icons, let them rest for a while (orange: 10-11 mins, red: 21-40 mins). Docking would help as well. Fatigued ships have lower accuracy, lower evasion, and take more damage.

*chance of gaining 150% resource and higher chance to get special item on expedition.
*higher chance of expedition Great success, which increases the resources gain to 150% for that particular expedition.
Note: Remodeling a ship that is sparkling will remove the sparkle. You may want to send her out on a quick expedition in order to take advantage of increased rare item drop. It's not that big of a deal in the end though.

To avoid your ship from being sunk, make sure they are not '''heavily damaged (大破)''' before a battle, if your ship is heavily damaged when you transition into battle it '''can '''sink.
To avoid your ship from being sunk, make sure they are not '''heavily damaged (大破)''' before a battle. A ship will never sink if she entered a battle in good condition (no damage/minorly damaged<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">小破</span>/moderately damaged中破). Ships in good condition when receiving excessive damage will be left with 1HP, which can be repaired to full health. If you choose to advance(進撃) with ship heavily damaged, she will be at risk of being sunk. Ships sunk are lost forever and not retrievable. If you need to risk your damaged ships to proceed to the next battle, make sure to equip some form of [[Equipment|damage control]] equipment on your ships. It allows your ships to be revived if they were sunk by the enemy. Night battle is considered the same battle, so having ships '''heavily damaged during the day battle of the same battle''' entering the night battle is safe.
If you need to risk your damaged ships to proceed to the next battle, make sure to equip some form of [[Equipment|damage control]] equipment on your ships. It allows your ships to be revived if they were sunk by the enemy.

Damage control equipment could be attained by completing quests or by purchasing it from the cash shop.<br />One damage control item will be consumed immediate after the ship sunk, revive and preventing your ship from sinking during that particular battle. Advancing the battle(進撃) with ships heavily damaged will require another damage control item for protection, in which if additional damage control item is absent, the ship will be at risk of being sunk.
