User blog:Zel-melon/(WIP) Phase 2 Bastard Guide to Kancolle

Compilation of "Bastard method" in playing KC. The definition of "bastard" is not an illegitimate child of a house but a method that is made just to taiha your ships. Also include other stupid ideas in between.

1-5 Bastard Sparkling: 1 ASW DD/CL + 3 Fodder DD/CL
We are only aiming mostly for A-rank (occasional S-rank). Since you no longer need CVL to reach boss. You can equip the ship that you want to sparkle with ASW gear and put her as Flagship. The other 3 DD/CL are just fodders that you used; they can sink halfway which will A rank harder but still possible.

1-6: Kuso Monthly Strat: 1 CL/DD + 5 Fodder DD
You all know this one. Carry on.

2-2: Possible grinding strat: 3 CV(L) + 1 SS + 2 XX
Mainly for Transport daily/weekly (3 CV(L) + 1 SS). Won't recommend for grinding.

Still, need more testing, but 3 CV(L) seems to route to transport node (left) no matter what (yes, even with slow ship). The EXP isn't bad and you get 2 Transport per run. This means you can equip all your 3 CVL with Torpedo bombers, let your SS tank like the old days and put two ships to level if wanted (not recommended much because cost/efficient). Note that transport Ta-class doesn't attack Submarine.

2-3: Bastard Oreling: 1 SS
Still, need more testing, but >1 SS seems to route middle path not matter what, which can route you to the resource nodes below. This allows you to obtain 1-3 of them before you face a surface fleet that will definitely gangtickle your SS.
