that first UR will be useless for the next few months
but make something like a Tenzen kai

she is probably better than every other ship in pr8, her paper calcs are very good

that first UR will be useless for the next few months
why useless?
viscid swift
why useless?
because they won't be max limit break for a few months at least

ah

So where does Essex Retrofit fit? Like what's her best use case?
sharp socket
retrosex can do everything from what i heard
viscid swift
currently no where
quaint tapir
I've found her best use case as just a member of my mobbing fleets, but I guess for bossing she's generally only useful in light because that's what kearsarge and yt2 want
stark quiver
So where does Essex Retrofit fit? Like what's her best use case?
shes a good bossing ship
has the highest base avi and reload of all ships
but the problem is she has little to no utility
and her preferred partners perform in situations she might not
viscid swift
why would you need to run her with Kearsarge and Yorktown 2

Who does she pair best with, outside of Kearsarge and Yorktown II?
stark quiver
becuase i can
quaint tapir
you don't, but she's not exactly going to shine in any other comp either
stark quiver
Who does she pair best with, outside of Kearsarge and Yorktown II?
im thinking soyuz and nakhimob vs anti heavy
viscid swift
and she's not useful in light, in fact she failed when I replaced Fritz with her in my Kawakaze META comp
stark quiver
her new skill is also lowkey useless
quaint tapir
she's kinda just a stat stick with no bossing niche because of her awkward loadout and team pairings, which is why I'm just throwing her in mobbing now

she works good until you want a team that specializes against a specific armor type really

does this mean you're gonna test her

personal testing plus end game tier list prelims more or less mirroring it. take it with a grain of salt but she doesn't really seem to improve any existing top bossing fleet for light, med, or heavy

I just came back to my 6 years old account, what are dupes used for? seems like me 6 years ago have kept so many gold rarity dupes
dusk maple
dupes are used in limit breaking a ship
river junco
Limit breaking, retrofit mainly. in more rare cases you have multiple of the same ship leveled so you swap em to let the other recharge morale (but you can just use other ships)
Or skin displaying for non prs
vocal niche
I see, so it's like any games. I have max stars Sandy and still have 3 other copies, is there any use for them? I wonder why did I keep her dupes if I already max her stars.

You can just scrap em for medals IF you already retrofitted sandy
You might have just been hoarding sandy for the memes or something idk

late flame
I’m relatively new don’t have much
i'd lean towards vanguard then, since as a newer player its cheaper to build a bb fleet first.
but also no harm picking shinano since you'd not be using either anytime soon for the lack of rainbow bulins
fiery pelican
Who should I prioritize?
late flame
vanguard easy
fiery pelican
thx, i selected her dupe last time too
ionic kraken
ulrich von hottun is still a good bb right?
wind hazel
still a UR, but bottom
ionic kraken
worth bullins?
late flame
yes only if all your other rainbows are maxxed (and have enough for the jp anni UR)
ionic kraken
the only ur's i've mlb'd are lion and traf.
but i have shinano new jersey and ulrich. so i guess it's better to sit on the bullins in case i get the next ur
ocean oriole
So when can I get Lion?
inner delta
when her event rerun
ocean oriole
when her event rerun
Is there a better lion?
inner delta
huh? there's only 1 lion
ocean oriole
No I meant is there a ship that is similar to lion but does her job better
sinful escarp
none yet, lion is new and it will take another new UR that will replace her. but it may take a while
ocean oriole
Damn, I just started in the last week of July. It sucks to hear that I missed out on lion.

Greetings gentlemen, I just got Ulrich and thought to myself it might be time to update my lineup.
However the collectionneur that I am have 0 knowledge in terms of best stats or best ships. I check the community tier list but like, it hasn't been updated in a while.
So, here's my current lineup and my prized collection of rare ships, no need to be precise just give me the best ships to put in a lineup.
wind hazel
Greetings gentlemen, I just got Ulrich and thought to myself it might be time to...
left is very bad, right is very good. as such, remove all 0 limit break ship from your lineup, they are dead weight
do you have any UR bulin? how many specialized core do you have right now
late flame
+drop perseus for unicorn

I’m a new player and I have enough medals for an SR which one do I get?

umbral wadi
wind hazel
you're using too many gold ship
umbral wadi
Idk who to use..
wind hazel
get portland, helena from guild shop
umbral wadi
I’ve been looking at the tier list to help
wind hazel
tier list doesn't consider the cost of limit breaking
umbral wadi
Okay I can do that
wind hazel
like right now you're using 3 gold ship, but you have limited gold bulin, so they become dead weight real soon
umbral wadi
So if I get Portland and Helena who do I get from medal?
wind hazel
refer to the forwarded message above
umbral wadi
Okay thank you so so much h

Medal hull??

if you need more AA then you can go double fighter, could be useful in w13 etc if you're doing it. but for farming then just do the normal loadout

Hey guys, which one should I use?

Hey guys, which one should I use?
I usually take materials. Depend how strong fleet you have. Enemy increases opsi stats, materials for lab craft
Stats for Arbiter. Usually you got them by farming maps. Materials always needed
cosmic osprey
Can I use 2 fleets or is it the option for me to pick what fleet i want to use in the story
cosmic osprey
Wth so I need 6 more characters to make another fleet
red hawk
youll get them as you progress
cosmic osprey
i got quite a lot of 1 stars i guess I can use them in a team
red hawk
you don't need to, just wait on getting better ships and focus on the starter fleet
cosmic osprey
oh ok
red hawk
ships drop in stages too, and there are rewards for progress
cosmic osprey
i thought is required 2 fleets.
red hawk
not till you're past world 9

cosmic osprey
oh i see btw what happens if i run out of ammo
cosmic osprey
oh so i can still carry on. Is there a way for me to start with more than 5 bullets
oh is it set to a fixed value
wind hazel
some ship give extra ammo, but ultimately it's not worth pursuing at all
cosmic osprey
oh i see. Can you only level ships from story cause Idk how to outside of it
sinful escarp
story is the best way
but for now you can also do the event and see how far you can go. so you can get the event points
dont forget to do the minigame for essex. start the minigame> exit the minigame. it still counts
it gives you essex's retro material
cosmic osprey
oh ok cause Im on story 2-1 and Im struggling already 😭
where is the event I might do that for now cause Im struggling with story
cosmic osprey
oh idk y
should i be using gears or anything like that

cosmic osprey
oh ok thanks
gilded carbon
one quick thing, is this order ok
you could also grab Ranger (should drop about anywhere) and replace Long Island
wind hazel
they are the same-ish, no need to
gilded carbon
Isnt Ranger cheaper?
wind hazel
in term of what
gilded carbon
Im only quoting the Last beginners Guide i read, so maybe it changed since
wind hazel
probably just saving you some few hundred coin if you limit break them
whole crypt
RNGer is technically better but practically the difference is fairly moot at that point
coins aside you'll likely get more dupes for LBing, but the actual difference isn't going to be that big and you'll be replacing that spot with your next decent main fleet addition
lavish dirge
When events rerun, do their lucky bags rerun as well?
whole crypt
depends because they could rerun with a different timing, also lucky bags are generally bad value if you still have double bonuses you can buy
lavish dirge
So they rerun at least?
whole crypt
yes they do rerun, no I can't recommend buying them is the full answer
late flame
b-but think of the gamblers
whole crypt
just so I'm absolutely clear you only roughly break even if you land a L2D skin you want, compared to buying the gems with double bonus for it
if you pull a skin you want but not L2D it's worse value, if you pull a skin you don't want it's much worse value
unless you're already whaling and bought all the packs with double then good luck with 🎲

Hello! My first shipyard ship just finished all the timed research. Do I have to keep my focus on Roon now or can I switch to another ship to get the timegated stuff cooking? I'm so early that the only other ship I could start on right now is Saint Louis.

Honestly, I know I can beat the EX... Well at least it feels like I'm almost there.

rip, alright. ty!
whole crypt
Hello! My first shipyard ship just finished all the timed research. Do I have to...
research is going to be slow in early game and clearing out timegates earlier won't really make things faster, just finish the XP grind for Roon first unless you're just not using KMS ships at all
late flame
- each and every time you switch research, it imposes a 24-hour cooldown
whole crypt
Saint Louis does tend to be a better ship to start with because you're more likely to have active USS vanguards
the cooldown doesn't really matter in this case he's still stuck doing XP grind after the switch anyway

Once you finish all the time gates if you switch to start working on unlocking next ship does the XP still go towards Roon if I unlock everything and start the timer on Seattle for example
low wind
Nope, exp only goes to the active project
whole crypt
EX on my CN account for reference
sinful escarp
its just that next time when you return to that ship. you wont have to wait to unlock the others
what you unlocked before you switched is saved
red hawk
these ship requirements make you play a puzzle to get the fleet you want instead of just letting you build whatever
I had to stick my main in fleet 2 so I could get around the CA requirement on HT6 and use Kala Ideas
are there going to be a lot of issues like this going past world 11?
where it forces certain ship type picks
cosmic osprey
should i use exp data pack to level my characters up a bit
whole crypt
hull class slot reqs are exclusively a hard mode thing
red hawk
are torp/eva score reqs on normal mode or just hard? I haven't paid attention tbh
whole crypt
should i use exp data pack to level my characters up a bit
depends if levels are your major hurdle for progress, you have limited supply of them in early game and sometimes it's good to save some for bumping a new ship if you're just waiting to replace something
red hawk
its not a bad idea to hoard data packs for when you get something worth replacing
whole crypt
all stat and slot reqs exist only on hardmode
the problem with events is you generally prefer to grind in hard mode while it's a 3-run-a-day thing for campaign
cosmic osprey
is there anyway i can level characters
cosmic osprey
oh fair
red hawk
and after 9 stages are oil capped so you use less oil per run
cosmic osprey
even if 1 star it
red hawk
I think you just have to clear it to get oil cap?
tough wadi
Regarding emulation question, should i ask it in tech support or here?
whole crypt
oil cap only starts after you unlock clearing mode, which is 100%, number of stars is not relevant but you can end up doing it with 1 star yes
probably tech support but if it's something quick and simple we could help here
red hawk
that's what I thought, you have to clear it first but stars only matter for rewards
you want to 3* as you go for the experience and the gems for dock space
300 gems can go to an extra dorm slot, 500 to the 2nd floor expansion, other than that just get dock space
plus you're really not gonna wanna go back to those low level non oil capped stages to run sorties to clear them later on, the more you limit break ships the more they cost to run
cosmic osprey
ok i will clear all the stages that i can for now

do not invest in the Me-155A
knotty jolt
Only time you need extreme levels of AA is in world 15 where support carrier fleets are used
forest palm
we have other planes for that shit la
knotty jolt
And in world 13 too but it's better to focus the aa in the form of your vanguard
spark patio
do not invest in the Me-155A
i just use it at first bc i thought it was good
knotty jolt
To check if a plane is good check it's armaments
If you check the fighter you see it only has guns but no bombs
spark patio
any replacement for that long name plane?
knotty jolt
Hellcats are good
Seafangs are also as they are essentially a slightly worse hellcat
spark patio
ok i will use seafangs cuz unicorn was using the only one hellcat
dark terrace
essex retro is good?
knotty jolt
Iirc for the most part for planes their rarity is of less importance then the actual payloads the planes have
spark patio
how about her bomber diver?
knotty jolt
Like that blue hellcat is leagues better then the German Messer just cause the hellcat carries two 500lbs bombs
Sb2c
spark patio
ok imma rob it from victorious
knotty jolt
For whatever reason it's been the best in slot for 99% of the time since the start of the game
And the gold version in the gear lab is only marginally better
You only craft those for minmaxing sakes etc
spark patio
how about torp bomber?
knotty jolt
Barracudas
The gold standard at the start of the game used to be f6f hellcats fighters sb2c helldiver bombers and barracuda torpedo bombers
Modern day hasn't changed muc
spark patio
You only craft those for minmaxing sakes etc
alright, i will try to find another hellcat for mine Essex
harsh radish
is there no way to get retrofit item for eldrige?
knotty jolt
is there no way to get retrofit item for eldrige?
Soon
They'll be rerunning her event really soon
spark patio
should i invest in Archerfish sub?
knotty jolt
Idk about subs so good luck with that ask someone else I rarely use subs and only ones I actively use are German subs cause Wolfpack buff is much easier to understand
spark patio
hmm ok ty, btw. where can i find bps for planes?
knotty jolt
In terms of ease of understanding German wolfpacks are best while American subs are extremely strong but requires more understanding with Japanese subs being oddballs but good and Italian subs are weird
If you check the mission node you can see what prints can drop from the map
spark patio
i checked the tierlist and Archerfish was the only good sub, but i don't use them very often too
viscid swift
should i invest in Archerfish sub?
if you have Flasher, Albacore, Da Vinci, etc to go with her yes
spark patio
if you have Flasher, Albacore, Da Vinci, etc to go with her yes
are subs good in this game?
knotty jolt
They're bonus damage
viscid swift
they're basically just extra damage so yeah
spark patio
ok
bruh, i miss 1 hellcat bps and the map total cost for 1 sorte is 304, too expensive for me rn 😢

That's grinding in a nutshell
Ya can run something like cassin+downes with ranger in the back all non limit broken for 3 oil per battle fleet if ya wanna min max the grind
spark patio
oh, that's really help

guys, let me explain….

I want to run different Fleet-comps for my Submarines then Wolfpack. Is U-552 Meta and Da Vinci a good start? Probably with the other gold Italian Sub?

this is a good one, possibly the best one

I have literally none of these. But i quit like Da Vinci

the solution is to stop looking at your game altogether

+10 good enough, but +13 is better of course

glossy granite
Both ägir and kaza are using them
wind hazel
give agir triple magnetic purple
glossy granite
But ofc not in same fleet
wind hazel
... why arent they in the same fleet i saw helena
glossy granite
Kaza is in other fleet, ägir and plymouth are in same
wind hazel
take agir's, give her this
spark patio
is it ok if i put 3 CV/CVL in the same fleet and same with BBs?
wind hazel
Kaza is in other fleet, ägir and plymouth are in same
ok so when you're using plymouth's fleet... you can rob kaza's torpedo

Her healing skill, you can skip the reload skill entirely
