Board Thread:Kancolle Arcade/@comment-27702340-20160923182458

I have been to Japan for 2 weeks for a study trip and just recently got back.

Over the course of my stay there, I managed to get some chance to play with the Kancolle Arcade.

In order to play the game, you will need the following:

- Aime Card

[You can still play as Guest but your account will be deleted after you log out]

[Aime card is used to save your account, aka your progress, in Kancolle Arcade]

- 100 Yen Coins

[Putting in 1 "100 Yen" coin will give you 300 GP and a bit of res before you start playing]

[Putting in 3 "100 Yen" coins will give you 900 GP and more res before you start playing]

[Getting a Kanmusu Card Printed will cost you 1 "100 Yen" coin]

- Kancolle Arcade Cards

[You can buy Kancolle Arcade Cards from nearby card shop and use them at the Kancolle Arcade]

Similarities:

- Just like Kancolle Web Browser, you can only have 6 shipgirls in a fleet.

- There is equipment construction and shipgirl construction as well.

- There is also quest but this is only available after clearing World 1-4.

- You can also change the furnitures in your base.

- There is also 4 docks available for you to repair your Kanmusus.

- You need to level your girls for them to become stronger.

- You need to craft better equipments for them to get stronger as well.

I do have to warn your guys some stuff though.

After returning from a sortie, there will be a cooldown before the game start draining your GP.

For every 1 second spent in the home base, 1~2 GP is drained.

Also, you can only craft 1 Kanmusu from construction per session, meaning you have to log out and log in again if you want to craft another Kanmusu.

There is also a limit to the number of times you can replenish your GP.

There is a timer in every sortie and engaging other fleets, instead of the Boss Fleet, will drain time with Night Battle draining extra 20 seconds if activated.

Sinking a Kanmusu will give you only 3 options after returning from a sortie:

- Pay 600 GP for a Repair Goddess to fully revive her.

- Lose 1 HQ Level and reset the Kanmusu level back to 1.

- Decide later.

You have to pick either one of the 1st 2 options and they will prompt you even when you log in again.

Rarity:

Like Kancolle Web Browser, Kanmusus are determined by their rarity and stars.

This is position of how rare the cards are:

1] Damaged CG Kai Holo Card

2] Kai Holo Card

3] Damaged CG Holo Card

4] Holo Card

5] Rainbow Background Card

6] Gold Background Card

7] Silver Background Card

8] Light and Dark Blue Background Card

 Please note that it is more advisable to obtain Kai Cards by playing Kancolle Arcade.

Using a Kai, Holo or Damaged CG Card will affect the Kanmusu Stats in the Kancolle Arcade.

Tips:

- CVs are not ideal yet in Kancolle Arcade and their reload time is pretty bad as well.

[1 CV Reload = 2 BB Salvo]

- Since majority of the mechanics in Kancolle Web Browser have not been implemented into Kancolle Arcade yet, it is still advisable to put 1~2 Carriers in your fleet from World 2-3 onwards.

- Advisable to get to the boss as quickly as possible.

[Boss Fleet can be located by the Huge Red Spot, just sail towards that direction]

- Double Line is more favourable in Kancolle Arcade than Line Ahead.

- Buying the Starter Cards, aka non-kai versions, will make your game easier if you don't feel like having RNG and Tanaka whack you with a Salt Bucket.
