Yamakagi Fleet

[gusty ember]

here

[scarlet jasper]

Right so here’s the current setups for the Hipper sisters

The other options

And my depot’s available equipment

[gusty ember]

posting one dock image aint it

[gusty ember]

could you screen your entire dock, sorted by rarity, from UR to elites

[scarlet jasper]

Yep

[scarlet jasper]

More tidy?

[gusty ember]

ah, you just want vanguard? was gonna pick main fleet too

looks good tho

[scarlet jasper]

I am needing assistance with a boss main as well

I’ll pull that up

[gusty ember]

alr

[scarlet jasper]

My current BB roster

And my CVs

[scarlet jasper]

Im thinking Brünhilde might be the flagship for the boss mainline, Uni-Chan could take the rightmost spot to provide heals. That just leaves the tank spot

Or maybe Hood as flagship, one of those two BCs

Unicorn is part of effectively a “heavy fleet” which is my current poor interpretation of a boss fleet. and even then that fleet has been specialized for murdering the current event stages

Hmmm, ok

So would a CV that buffs combat performance like Illustrious, York, or Enterprise be better boss fleeting?

Yup

These are the current ones

[gusty ember]

no i meant

[gusty ember]

posting all your vanguards instead of just cas like you did here

[scarlet jasper]

This?

[gusty ember]

ye

[scarlet jasper]

I apologize for the ridiculous amount of DDs

[gusty ember]

why are you filtering efnawiufubeiwabfgoiawgbar

[scarlet jasper]

So it doesn’t mix up the ship types

[gusty ember]

it makes it so much harder to read through

i do not care about ca/cl/dd when im choosing vanguard

i am choosing a good ship

separating vanguard from main fleet is fine

ill just scroll through these posts and cope

but please post them all at once next time

[scarlet jasper]

Ok, I’m sorry about the confusion

[gusty ember]

Mob Fleet: Musashi Unicorn Hyuuga Phoenix Z23 Wakatsuki
Boss Fleet: Hood Brunhilde Illustrious Portland Javelin Sakawa

most importantly, focus one MLB at a time. several 1 LB ships is bad

sakawa first, then brunhilde, then hood

even if your other ships are at level cap

focus the ones closest to MLB

MLB is way more powerspike than several 1 lbs

ncal was just a poor choice

[scarlet jasper]

What are her major issues? Just curious?

[gusty ember]

low damage, low utility

simple reasons for being bad

[scarlet jasper]

Ahh, that and her 16” have trouble hitting stuff. I really only bring her along to swat planes that break through or to mop up anything Kaga misses when she shoots

[gusty ember]

ncal is not a good aa carry these days

well she just isnt

[scarlet jasper]

Probably gonna need to rework my AA defense setup then

[gusty ember]

could you post the fleets as i gave

i wanna make sure i wasnt pepeg

in fleet formation

[scarlet jasper]

Yup

Let me swap them

Ok here’s the lot

[gusty ember]

musashi flag

looks all good

now again

[scarlet jasper]

Is Unicorn tanky enough in the leftmost spot?

[gusty ember]

dmg is spread amongst backline

now stop limitbreaking when ships hit lvl 10

focusing single ships to MLB will carry and clear stages better

that's it

oh, and whenever you get advice in a thread, it's good to cross check into #gameplay-help, i see some godawful advice in threads sometimes

[scarlet jasper]

Ok

As for equipment I think I’ve got good armament setups for my vanguard. Back line could use some work and I’ll need suggestions on auxiliary gear

[gusty ember]

sure

post ur fleets into #gameplay-help to check

[scarlet jasper]

Also seeing as Hyūga is part of this, is this gonna require her in her refit state?

[gusty ember]

not quite

she'll be fine at base

if you have around ~25k coins and enough retro bps to do it all at once, then do it

but dont do it partially like you've been doing with limit breaks

[scarlet jasper]

Also another thing to point out Unicorn and Portland are MLB, so I’m able to add augments to them

[gusty ember]

doubt you should be sparing coins for augments

[scarlet jasper]

Not necessary to have yet?

[gusty ember]

nope

werent ever necessary

esp not unicorn and portland

[scarlet jasper]

Should I also try training up their skills?

[gusty ember]

unicorn's healing and musashi red barrage

[scarlet jasper]

Unicorn’s got healing Lv.5 but she will definitely get that buffed more. I’ll get started on musashi

Oh btw are you any good with submarines?

[gusty ember]

yes

but you wont have enough

not enough choices

[scarlet jasper]

Not to mention not many campaign levels where they can deploy

[gusty ember]

more importantly, all the good subs are gold

and you dont have full MLB fleets yet

[scarlet jasper]

My current roster

[gusty ember]

dont bother

[scarlet jasper]

I’ve already seen how cringe Surcouf is at being a sub, don’t worry

U-101 also has endurance problems

[gusty ember]

i mostly chose those fleets with sr bulins in mind

after you MLB everyone there, then there's more upgrades

[scarlet jasper]

I need to save more of them up, same with cubes

[gusty ember]

no, you need to spend them on current ships
