Introduction

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.

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.

As a general rule, girls which require special resources (blueprint, action report, protoype catapult) are rated lower than their counterparts unless they outclass every other girl in that category. Unless otherwise noted, you should be getting girls to their highest remodel.

The advice in this article assumes you already have the girl. Don't stress about missing high priority girls.

Remodel Priorities (Blueprint/Prototype Catapult)

Design & order

My design can be changed, any suggestions/conversations are welcome.

  • the note section is mostly copy-pasted from the old Help:Ship_Priority list.
    • I'm bad at writing and haven't added much there, but much more needs to be added/rewritten
  • Quest formatting and indenting isn't the most consistent.
  • Only  ,  ,  ,   & good equipment are listed in Notable Equipment Given.
  • If a form is specified, only that form is being recommended. And only benefits for that form are listed. (I left a note in for Akagi/Kaga's other forms though)

The ship order should be changed, any suggestions/conversations/debates are welcome.

  • I do not agree with all the placements on my list, its a redesign sandbox for now. I've only shuffled some ships around.
    • (almost nothing has been adjusted priority-order wise from the original Help:Ship_Priority, of which I did not make)
    • I agree with everything on VeryHard and VeryLow (VL may need a reorder)
    • High, Medium & Low need a lot of change/shuffling/debating


  • planning on having Devmats/Torches be shown. I haven't included them yet because I want them to be toggleable, too many remodels need them now and it fills/thickens up the remodel requirements section, when it only really matters for the few ones who eat a ton. Big devmat eaters can also have a note written about it too.
