'''[!] This guide aims to help new/experienced Play to Win players to train a fleet to compete with Pay to Win players. It does not meant to glorify either side but to give Play to Win players some tips and tricks to progress further in-game mainly for any major events. Play to Win players should also take note that they may consider paying real money to reduce the limitation being stressed on them.'''

1. What is the true meaning of Play To Win?

'Playing to Win' means to play the game without the need to pay real $$$. Progressing in game takes huge investment in time and requires careful planning before each action to avoid huge consequences. For a fleet to progress, player must put in tons of resource on construction, development, sortieing, and expedition as well. These applies to both type of players except for some difference:

A comparrison between a Play to Win and a Pay to Win.

Most of these limitations can be experienced further in-game as you progress but can also be prevented to a certain extent:

~ Scrapping Decommission any unwanted/average shipgirl

~Continuous development of advanced equipment/ recycling unwanted equipment

~Akashi's repair ability and equipment improvement

~Staying softcap at all times early game

~Having a healthy number of shipgirls for expedition

2. Staying softcap until you are confident about your fleet:

This is often told by experienced players to most newbies out there, always stay under their HQ level's softcap limits. Staying under softcap at all times allows you to receive more resource as compared to sending out expedition over and over again. Each day, a standard amount of 1440 fuel, 1440 ammunition, 1440 iron and 480 bauxite will be sent to your HQ until the softcap limits have been reached.

Denying natural resource regenration will only put yourself in a disadvantage on resource usage as compared to investing MORE RESOURCES on development/improvement of better equipment and training. Just look at the table below and see what i mean: Now imagine and tell yourself what can you do with the extra 43.2k worth or resource on? You could have proper equipments, well trained shipgirls or have a better chance on clearing more event maps at higher difficulty. Not to mention that you can stand a chance for more drops or better survivability against harder enemies except RNG.

'''3. What type of shipgirls should i at least have? [wip]'''

With the exception of shipgirls with nice CG art or soon to be shipfu, you will need at least a proper fleet to fight your enemies. We are talking about having a crack troops specialised in different areas including being fulfilling multiple roles should any shipgirl is locked in a map. You don't necessary need to craft shipgirls from LSC, just a proper fighting force should suffice,
