Currently I have given out 1 ring and that special shipgirl is Haruna. She was the first of the Kongou class ship to arrive at my base back in my early days and she has helped me out greatly ever since! I like her soft personalty, she is visually appealing and I really like her catch phrase: Hai, Haruna wa daijoubu desu! (probs a waifu bait line as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Strangely enough when I first encountered any KanColle material, it was a Haruna image I first found. In fact it was this image: http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1806661 . Initial I was redirected from reddit, the post linked to this image read: Nice to meet you, Captain~ Here's the link to the reddit post as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/ZettaiRyouiki/comments/2hv3jk/nice_to_meet_you_captain_kantai_collection/
During events it would be both Haruna and Kongou that would share MVPs and dealing out mass amount of dmg to enemies. Even though Kongou has that charismatic, very happy loving characteristic, there is still one more reason why I chose Haruna over Kongou. I chose Haruna over Kongou due to Haruna's service history. She was the last surviving Kongou class until she 'sunk' at Kure Naval District during the bombing raids by the allied forces. Even though she was getting bombed left and right, her crew stayed on board to operate her. The tenacity Haruna showed after having multiple bombs dropped on her batteries and AA guns, Haruna and her crew kept going to the bitter end. Haruna was lucky that even after her moorings came loose, the water was shallow so she didn't fully submerge. I guess this is where she gets those high AA and Luck stats in game.
So there it is, Haruna's the only ring I have handed out so far and she's currently Lv 146. I hope to max her Lv by the end of this year.
I do have intentions to give more rings out. Here is a planned list:
- Kongou (My second favourite Kongou class. She is the lead ship of her class and her personality is very nice)
- Bismarck (The image card of her in-game, especially her Drei form is just beautiful. Her real life counterpart, ie the ship is also a true beauty. Sasuga German Enginerring)
- Maya (Maya was the first Heavy Cruiser I had in my base. I really like her lines in-game and when I found out in her Kai Ni form she has a special AACI mechanic, I was lost of words LUUL.)
- Zuikaku (Very cute tsundere crane. I was also delighted to found out she'd be receiving a Kai Ni conversion during late 2015 after the summer event)
- Kirishima (She wears glasses +1. ZR +1. Sounds intelligent +1. Kirishima is quite a likeable ship is all I'd like to say :D )
- Abukuma (Ever since I got her to Kai Ni status, she has tremendously helped out during events. She's basically permanently the flagship of the escort fleet)
- Shoukaku (The comic skits related to Shoukaku's bad luck makes me want to give her a hug)
- Kitakami (Kitakami's lines seems humble and her relaxed personality in tight situations is JustRight)
- Ooi (Her crazy lesbian trait makes her go berserk during event periods, so she's likely to clear Event final operations for me)
- Saratoga (In an instant I practically fell in love with her figure. Her lines in-game are amazing as well)
- Akizuki (Most diligent of the Akizuki class. Very cute shipgirl as well. I tend have a soft spot of AA orientated ships it seems... Like Haruna and Maya as mention above)
- Teruzuki (Probably the cutest of the Akizuki class.)
- Hatsuzuki (My first Akizuki class ship and she's pretty badass)
- Hiei (Didn't want to leave Hiei behind since Haruna is ringed and I intend to ring Kongou and Kirishima in the future)
- Iowa (Statfag reason TERALUL)
- Nagato (A very reliable ship and I like her personality as well)
- Yamato (For stat reasons as well LUUL. Yamato's pretty cute but I was shocked when I found out she shared the same VA as Kirino from Oreimo)
- Musashi (Probs one of the most badass ships in game)
- Amatsukaze (She's the first DD I wanted to hand a ring out. She's SUPER TSUN (Probs not as tsundere as Kasumi or Akebono but still ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
- Prinz (Cute Pudding. She has also helped clear E3 of 2017 Winter event when all hope was lost on that map. TCI'd the Boss JustRight) |
