Since talk about ShiroPro is making the Kancolle general thread too OT, let's move here.

The game just went live a few hours ago for those who pre-registered back in late October.
The name was changed from Shiro Collection(Shirocolle) to Shiro Project(Shiropro) to not confuse the two.

Actual game link here(VPN required): http://www.dmm.com/netgame/social/-/gadgets/=/app_id=149569/

Wikia link(very much still a WIP): http://shirocolle.wikia.com/wiki/Shiro_Collection_Wiki

Otherwise, not much new information out yet and those who got in are pretty much flying blind.


Take it easy and let's discuss our shiromusume.

Your girls get kidnapped and you have to pay a ransom in X amount of time or they'll be gone forever. Getting "kidnapped" is RNG-driven by the way. When your main castle falls, they'll haul ass outta there and you have to select one your remaining girls as "bait". The bait will then either resist the "kidnapping", which happened to me or get kidnapped from what I've read.

By the way, there's a generic quest chain that follow this patern :
Formation -> Sortie -> Formation -> Sortie...

Formation quest names start with "われらx" with x being 平,山,水 or any combinaison of them, most likely.

The idea is to have in your main squad a majority (5 or more) of that type of girl (and only that type. If it ask for "平" only, having 10 "平山" won't do.)
The sortie quest is just to sortie with that squad and use those girls.

Use ranged castles on the outlying area near the main castles to cover the outer area but also cover the main road slightly. Use a high HP/DEF spear user as main castle, preferably silver background and put 1 or 2 sword melee just beside the main castle to boost def and maintain DPS. When they drop low just replace them with backups.

I had wait time in Kancolle early on, but these days it's all about buckets. Especially with the current event, combined fleet runs take so long that I don't have fatigue to worry about either. I'd have to make Shiropro the primary game with Kancolle filling in the wait times.

I'm starting to think that the luck stat affects Yakumo's random weather assistance. On my mix team of all weapon types with average total luck, I only get rain, but with an all ranged lineup+1sword home castle with somewhat higher total luck, I get rain(slow) and lightning bolts (damage). The levels of the unit and the map might related too.

The castles that seem useless at first do have sometimes their uses.
They could get a remodel, or they have high stat caps and not a huge cost.
For example, Sakado-jo costs 34 rice to deploy. Her attack speed is high, her skill stat is really high and her attack cap is enormous. She has over 220 attack and 46 range with two long swords and I still haven't maxed her attack.

Fellow new player here, 1-5 wasn't too bad. I cleared it with 2 swords 2 cannons 1 bow, not including my home castle since she never actually hit anything. Granted, I had one really good cannon with an AOE attack that vaporized the entire 4th wave for me.

Main piece of advice I can give is that the boss hits like a truck, so don't put any ranged castles in melee range, and don't let your melee castles take too much of a beating. Both of mine were left at very low red HP from the boss.

Speaking of which, can you lose castles permanently in this?

I'm not really that new though since I pre-registered and only came for some R&R from KC but anyway, you can lose them permanently.

Only when the main castle falls. After that you'll pick someone to be a rear guard, or the bait if you put it bluntly. Your girls will then run for it while the rear guard will lag behind. They have a stat that will determine whether or not she gets captured. Also, if some of your girls tripped while fleeing and your rear-guard gets captured, she'll be captured as well so be careful when choosing rear-guards.
If a castle falls that isn't in the HQ, you don't lose her. You can repair her from 1hp.

So against my better judgement I decided to start playing this Tuesday evening. Ended up spending all night playing and reading JP Wikipedia about my girls. Although at least my Okinawan loli starter had an English wiki page to read instead.

1-5 actually wasn't that hard (and I had no castles over lvl 5), although I went in prepared. I fucked up though with my gunner placements as they were slightly too close to the roads, resulting in massive repair bills (especially with Saika, my lone grey-background castle). And my full-map attack buff turned out not to finish charging until the boss was halfway to the main castle. I managed to follow that up with about as much damage on 2-1 thanks to not realizing fliers would come from due east; maintenance interrupted it but unfortunately too late to fix my positioning.

The bonus is just for blocking damage so they're completely pointless if they're not placed just behind someone who is standing up front. The most OP are ranged spears because their weapon skill will hit anything in their huge range. Gunners with high attack speed and high skill are also godly.

Not him, but EXP in this game seems to be divided among castes, so soloing maps would make sense as the most efficient grinding method.

Map gives the same total exp no matter how many castles you put out, so it's more resource/fatigue efficient to put not more than 3 castles if you're grinding at 3-3.

I rotate 3 girls (Melee, Spear, Archer) in 1-1 solo for 283exp / pop
It's fast, the repairs takes a few minutes, I get a shit ton of drops for upping stats, the cost is usually negative (yes, I gain wood and stone and lose like 15 rice per pop or even gain 1 rice) and there is no fatigue whatsoever.

No one's forcing you to remodel them.

But seriously, what's up with all the gunner remodels? As if there weren't enough of them to begin with; I've barely started playing and I'm already getting sick of gunner drops (including my first two silvers, one of whom has a shitty range buff instead of damage skill). Aside from my starter archer + spear and the freebie archer I've only gotten one new spear and archer.

Plus I can't imagine wanting to remodel this cute Fukuyama anyway, she reminds me of Inazuma.

At least 1-1 is easy to multitask while running it though. So far playing through new map after new map I'm finding it hard to farm the Kancolle event at the same time; I have to spend too much time figuring out my unit placements and I forget about whatever else I was doing.

Also it sucks how much disparity there is between units in ease of 1-1 grinding. Gunners can't possibly avoid damage, mountain types have their range debuffed so they take damage even if the damage and speed are high enough (why does every main castle location have to be plains?)

Melee with self-heal might be intended for a more economic farming since they'll last longer without going to red or if you pump their stats via modernization, they'll act as your frontliners.

>> No.12716266

I think the exact opposite. The biggest complaint about anything Kancolle is how the battles and maps are pure RNG with no control whatsoever.
Kancolle moved very very slowly at the beginning. It took like 2 or 3 months to get it's first 'boom' in japan, then about 3 months later there was a second boom with the august event. Around mid-october, there was the third boom, this time for the western world, and it snowballed like hell from there.

Basically, if the game is still unknown in 6 months, it's a failure and won't go anywhere.

>> No.12716279

>>12716260
The main problem is that it doesn't seem like there are as many cute girls, and in a lot of cases remodeling changes way too much. It both makes more work for the developers and may make a castle that the player is attached to become ugly or unusable, whereas in Kancolle you're almost guaranteed to just get a straight upgrade out of the deal.

However the most heinous issue of all is that voice acting plays a much, much smaller role in this than Kancolle. People will not get as attached to their characters when they don't have iconic lines that they hear very frequently.

>> No.12716293

>>12716279
Voices can always be added later. Kancolle adds new voices to old ships occasionally.

And the remodels are as double edged as the gameplay. For instance, I would never have given a shit about Odaki >>12716207 if she didn't remodel into >>12716214 who I am literally drooling after. Neither of us have the statistical facts to assume whether the majority likes or dislikes the drastic remodels (in some case).

Really, I give this game a good shot because it is the second big kancolle-esque game with voiced girls, excellent art and this time even solid gameplay. I am just glad I picked this up now and not 9 months after it released.

>> No.12716297

Give it about 4 months report back then. Remember that Kancolle started off with only avrage results for about that long (and was expected to die in a year) but due to a popularity boom that came from a from a series of tweets from Kohta Hirano (over the sinking of his Kaga + bad modernaization management.) It is what has been thought to be what trigger the gigantic boom in Kantai Collection as it gain fame as a rapid pace following those tweets. And by August, the dev had to change everything in order to handle the large surge of people that poured in to want to play (I.E Lottery System)

>> No.12716307

>>12716293
The thing is it's not about who likes the drastic remodel more, it's that you're splitting the base in the first place. Overriding one model with another guarantees that somebody is going to be alienated, as opposed to using the two models for two different characters, thus giving everyone what they want.

Which brings us to the other issue: Castles are potentially even more limiting than WW2 Warships ever were.

Also, I think the title of second big kancolle-esque game goes to OLET, which I still think is basically Kancolle that is improved in almost every way, but done in by the simple fact that the theme they went with is completely terrible.

There's still another type of remodel that improves the castle's stats but doesn't change its looks, yet to be implemented though.

>> No.12716315

>>12716307
They're not splitting the base. You're assuming a scenario where a given character would be used for X instead of not having been made in the first place which would be the case here.

If Odaki didn't upgrade into an adult form, I would've never used her and her adult form would not exist, thus not giving me what I want. if someone loves Odaki so much they can just not upgrade her. You're falling prey to the pitfall that is taking away choice to find a common ground when choice itself is the common ground that is needed already.

And lastly, do you know how many castles there are in the world? Kancolle is slowly adding foreign ships. What stops Shirocolle from adding foreign castles eventually? Just think about it. An event world, excursions to Great Britain where you fight against Brit kabutos and at the very end get CAMELOT as reward. Or the german Neuschwanstein Castle. And so forth. And they don't even have to stick to castles that still exist but can also use castles that once existed in the past.

I've seen the acronym OLET but never actually heard of the game title before I looked it up just now.

My gripe with remodeling and art in general points towards how everything are all over the place. A lot of them have a lazy reskin/recolor at remodel too. This makes me wish they just kept them as it is and have a better design for final remodel for more impact.

If they want to, they can make the game even more RPG like and give each girl skill trees and specializations to upgrade. Kancolle does not have this luxury as their style has long since being sealed. Shiropro is designed with actual gameplay in mind so such changes might actually be added.

I can bring that same argument for Kancolle. Kai's have no difference whatsoever, which is even worse than a recolor. Then there /are/ lazy recolors, too, and of course there are also complete art changes like the Kongou Kai 2 class, which many people feel was ruined and others like them.

As far as 'art is all over the place' this too applies to Kancolle. Against the colorful and playful Submarines or some of the other vibrant ships, Shibafu is dull, sameface and generally considered possibly the weakest artist in all of Kancolle. The art is not as unified as people are led to believe.

In Kancolle, half of all the ships are destroyers and less than 20% of them are actually useful. Tons of them are interchangable with no effect whatsoever, which makes them moot to get unless you like their art and voices. The exact same applies in Shirocolle.

I wouldn't write kancolle off in terms of mechanics just yet but anything like ship-unique skills would be a gigantic major update that we'd see coming a year away. They constantly add new combat mechanics based on equip to give more depth to the combat.
Of course they can't take away the randomness of the battles entirely for that is the core gameplay, but they could add things like ship skills (triggered by pre-determined conditions)

Shirocolle is very young. Kancolle had extremely simple gameplay, compared to today, when it first started. It's going to turn two years old in a few months and god knows where Shirocolle will be gameplay wise if it gets to be that old

If Odaki didn't upgrade into adult form, the adult form's design could be used for another castle entirely that you would use, while someone who likes Odaki would use Odaki.

This isn't rocket science. Kancolle practically already does it with sister ships.

You see, the adult form design was made because there was the need for it, i.e. someone decided Odaki turns into an adult. If she didn't, there would be no need for the design and thus it would not exist.
Logic 101.
And nothing stops someone that likes Odaki from using Odaki. The remodels are manual. They don't happen automatically.

Because they could recognize a character easier since either she belongs in a specific design of their class and series like the Destroyer-class Akatsuki uniform.

The "adult form" is just a role assigned to Otaki. She could just as easily have been her own character. You are not the artist and therefore you do not know what processes went into her inception. You are literally just assuming she was created because they needed "adult form Odaki" because it suits your argument. An argument, might I add, amounts to nothing more than "I believe that a system that punishes a player for developing an attachment to their castle girls is good because I like the design of one of the girls in it."

And now you're seriously saying that refuting the opponent's points is not a valid form of argumentation? Frankly, you're not even worth taking seriously at this point.

But okay, I'll also argue fantasy with you: If Otaki were not designed, that artist's time would have been spent to create a character so miraculously perfect, so wondrously fitting to your personal tastes, that upon laying eyes upon her you would have wept into your own neckbeard before screaming out "MY LIFE FINALLY HAS MEANING", and going into cardiac arrest.

My advanced business sense, which is superior to your basic business sense, says that this most certainly would be the case, therefore it's not even worth our time to even entertain the possibility something else may have happened.

At what point does 3-3 become better than 1-1 for grinding?

3-3 seems to give around 4 times as much EXP, but it also takes longer to clear and is harder to do without taking damage. (At least, for spears which can usually clear 1-1 while taking little to no damage in the process.)

It seems more swords-friendly, but I'm not entirely sure I have the equipment to do it without my spears to clear crowds.

How do people deal with grinding castles that can't solo 1-1 without taking damage? Right now I don't have a single one that can. Some I can grind with light damage (like Tsurugu who just lacks range), but most of mine have inadequate damage (while the spears are too slow). I spent most of my keystones last night trying to craft equipment but the best sword I got was +7 atk +3 humanoid attribute. About the best I can do is equip +25 defense and +25 crit and try to minimize damage, but then it's a hassle to rotate them, repairing every run and swapping equipment.

And then there's the archers (and heaven forbid, gunners); I'm duoing the archer twins and Ipponmatsu and even then have to repair ever other run (or every run if I get distracted and don't activate their buff on the 3rd wave).

Spear Castles can usually solo 1-1 pretty well thanks to their AoE proc and high defense.

Thanks for that statement, I thought I was doing something wrong with how people were always talking about zero-damage 1-1 runs as if that was the goal to aim for. The annoying thing though is having to keep my eye on the game for the 3rd wave to use a damage skill in time, that can be the difference between repairing every run or every 2 or 3 runs.

And I realize range and speed are more important in the long run, but I figured a high damage weapon would make it a lot easier to get some low level castles started grinding (by reaching the OHKO point earlier without having to feed them a ton).

>>12716726
>grinding 1-5
I guess you have to have some pretty decent ranged castles to do this efficiently? When I cleared it I used ranged castles along the road but had to withdraw at least 1 and replace with a melee.

And I swear the game puts the dots in the worst possible spacing for your ranged units to hit the road while staying out of harm's way. When I cleared it I had two gunners get beat up bad because they were the tiniest bit too close, but if I had moved them back they would barely have been able to hit anything.

3 girls with potential and all have issues
1) Tiny loli with knife, melee. Can solo but unless it rains the skill won't charge fully, leaving you pretty damaged at the end. If there was a way to speedup skill charging, this could work
2) Cowgirl has a self-heal skill but it's mediocre. Charges faster than knife lolis skill but you kinda have to time it at the very end to minimize damage. Also, no remodel.
3) Likely the best choice, the nurse archer. With a +20 and +10 bow, she can oneshot wave 1 and 2 enemies (I haven't tested what her max attack is, yet) and her heal skill is like cowgirls so it will charge fully before end of wave 3. Her attackspeed is very low at 59 (range is 84)

The best bet for repeated no-damage runs would be to combine two of the above. The archer and cowgirl would likely work well together. Neither has the attack speed to solo and keep up with healing but they aren't very expensive, even together (98 rice. You get 35 back from beating the map plus estates you can sell for 50-100 rice)

And then I realized that if you field more than 1 girl, you might as well field someone very cheap that can hold the west lane by themselves and let the bottom lane go to the home castle which would be another melee that holds off a lane by herself.

The cheapest combination that reliably does this is Sakada (34 rice) for west lane, on the mountains with some range-up equip so she can snipe from one field away.
As home anything with enough range, speed and attack works. Since Sakada never gets hurt and this is designed to be run in-between other castles getting repaired, fatigue should not a big issue

I personally duo grind 3-3. Whichever one I want to grind in the main seat and a sword castle with 94-96 speed, 53-56 attack range. Your sword castle take maybe 100 damage in total and nothing reaches the castle.

If you scroll up a bit, I am sure you can see 2-3 people are doing the same thing I am.

Went with the requirements, brought mountain castles have the requirements for 15+ leader and total castle levels are 97 and I still fail often even at すばらしい部隊なのっ!

I just toss in random ass bow/gun castles with a total of 84 levels and I've not failed a single damn time there

If you play Kancolle, it is basically expeditions. You form a team and sent them out to either the mountain, plain or river to gather resources and loot.

Losing problems is probably not a big deal because the chances are they are pretty worthless anyway. You will be swimming in horses once you start to craft items.

For now just craft them. Get a few silvers and progress to 3-3 as soon as you can for grinding purposes. After that just advance whenever you feel confident. 5-10 is the goal after I believe since it unlocks the third territory.

Aside from fox girl, this one also fulfills the requirements for a duo 3-3 grind. I just switch them when one of them goes into fatigue and switch out fox girl's range+speed sword. Just keep in mind that if anyone does this, her remodel eats around 200 food per run so it might not be cost efficient if you're low on food. You could probably offset that from exploration and selling estates you might get from runs.

>Fatigue range : 0~100
>Low Fatigue : <20
>Fatigue Recovery Speed : 6 every 5 mins
>Fatigue timer is independent to every castle (unlike in KanColle where it's server tick based) and resets whenever you end a sortie (EXP screen). Only castles that are placed into battle are affected (Castles that are in the same squad but not placed are not affected).
>If your sortie ends before your fatigue recovery timer hits 0:00, the timer will be reset to 5:00 and no fatigue will be recovered (meaning if you do short sorties that lasts shorter than 5 minute in quick succession with the same castles you will not recover any fatigue in between them)

>Fatigue consumption per sortie
>Sea : 12
>Mountain/Water : 16

With 5 units it gives about the same amount of exp as soling 1-1 to each unit, but comes with the benefit of me not needing to do any repairs whatsoever.

Use a spear (preferably mountain) castle as main and put an AA unit (cannon or bow) beside it.
