Halp me last slot w14

[icy compass]

Test

Ah

[ionic flint]

pog

ok post dock images

[icy compass]

Okay here is my vanguard

[wooden lynx]

suzu good

[ionic flint]

the main issue you got is a lack of a really good tank

at least on the vanguard side

like having one of azuma/agir/brest/kron/anchorage helps a lot

you can get by without them, its just harder

[icy compass]

ya, they did make it a lot easier to get the decisives but im still way too far off kekw

[ionic flint]

how many prints do you have for anchorage

cause anchorage is gold

[icy compass]

oh lemme check

[wooden lynx]

you can try using that eugen seeing as its nearly 120

[ionic flint]

oh true

i guess that can be the last resort

if it comes to it

[wintry imp]

Yeah, best way if you really want to push through will be manual play to make up for tankiness

[icy compass]

i could build anchorage

[ionic flint]

how many prints do you have for her though

cause under dev anchorage is still bad

[icy compass]

22

[ionic flint]

guess its time to use eugen

[wintry imp]

Especially with no skill upgrades

[icy compass]

Eugen tankier than Roon?

[ionic flint]

yes

especially when you have eugen augment

[icy compass]

nice, yea i already built Eugen and Montys augments

[ionic flint]

do you have yuudachi retrofit item

or did you join too late

[icy compass]

yeah its currently running

[ionic flint]

ok get it

like idk if you can speedrun it instead of having to wait, but you gotta get it

and then use it

[icy compass]

you can speedrun it

i already got it dont worry lmao

[ionic flint]

ok good

[icy compass]

Aight so im gonna replace Roon with Eugen but who do i slot for the mob fleet

[ionic flint]

so im thinking you could run eugen yuudachi sandy boss, then monty wakatsuki sakawa/belfast mobbing

not sure if swapping sandy and monty would be better though

[icy compass]

belfast/sakawa instead of heinrich?

[ionic flint]

yes

[icy compass]

[wintry imp]

Ay, was gonna say Sakawa would be good to add

[ionic flint]

more mixed damage good

more bullet spam good

more specifically higher hit stat is better, and dd/cl have higher hit than CAs

[icy compass]

aight, i hate belfast so i would rather choose Sakawa

[ionic flint]

sure

that works

~~how do you hate belfast when shes almost lvl 120 ~~

[icy compass]

[ionic flint]

now lets go to backline

[icy compass]

oof

[ionic flint]

also hein really likes kms ship to get the 15% evasion, and you don't have any of the rainbow kms bbs which is a demerit in her favor

[icy compass]

oh, right

aight heinrich is benched for now

[ionic flint]

[icy compass]

any problems with the backline

[ionic flint]

its fine in opsi you need 4 tanks so you can still use hein

whats the backline

can you post your backline dock options

[icy compass]

yep sure

[wintry imp]

#1 thing you'll need to worry about is enemy Salvos in W14 those BBs hit like a truck

[ionic flint]

unfortunately theres nothing really you can do to mitigate it

besides equipping the augments that give +evasion stat to your backline ships and hoping and praying

[icy compass]

what i have currently

[wintry imp]

Just Airstrike cancels. But that's on manual play mostly. W14 is absolute hell for auto

[icy compass]

as a plan

[ionic flint]

ok

use hiryuu meta instead of spite

as a temporary measure you can use amagi/alabama instead of gascogne

give twin 410 to musashi

id probably also use formi instead of indep, cause more chonk

[icy compass]

is it better even if i dont use helena

the purple gun

[ionic flint]

yes

[icy compass]

wtf

okay

[ionic flint]

twin 410 doesn't sync with helena

neither does triple 460

[icy compass]

[ionic flint]

and twin 410 is faster = more spam of barrage = good

also HE ammo so more generalist

for aux guns you want the triple 155mm kai from gear lab

[icy compass]

aux guns is for?

[ionic flint]

the BB aux guns

my bad

[icy compass]

i see i've been using the belfast gun on all that are not musashi, lemme look up the triple 155m kai

[ionic flint]

if you are willing to invest in lusty with augment, you can use her in boss opposite enty

[ionic flint]

its basically the gear lab upgrade to it

[icy compass]

Ah i see it, makes sense

not a big fan of HMS so ima skip out on Illustrious

[ionic flint]

if you wanna go the alabama route, use tashkent gun on her

[icy compass]

Alabama been feeling so weak after i got to taste Musashi

[ionic flint]

understandable have a nice day

[wintry imp]

I gotta get going, but I'ma drop this for you so you can see that with determination (and manual play) you'll probably be fine with W14. Learning the new mechanics in that world is the true struggle
https://youtu.be/rhna_MpOyAU

[ionic flint]

manual play you can use anything

there was one guy who did it using all rares

its not that complicated

[icy compass]

its ok i still gotta farm Choukai and Bunker Hill anyway

[ionic flint]

great, use it for leveling and/or pr grinds to unlock stuff

[icy compass]

might as well make my time easier on w14 and level the units till then

yep

aight appreciate the help i think i kinda got it figured out

[wintry imp]

And look up the bosses before hand to swap gear for then. 14-1 and 14-2 are heavy
14-3 is light
And 14-4 is medium

[ionic flint]

eh

musashi just uses twin 410 for everything

even against the heavy armor or medium armor bosses

although maybe for 14-1/14-2 you could use triple 410

the barrage is just so good idk if sacrificing the spam is worth

[wintry imp]

I'm just a 460 simp and love big Numbies, lol

[icy compass]

whats the best way to level her skills?

im 10/5/1 rn

[ionic flint]

use her in operation siren mob fleet

and do opsi

since im very casual and have spare oil, i buy the 5k oil logger and strategic search like a casual

you might not have the spare oil, so its more manual labor for you, but same result in the end

[icy compass]

opsi hasnt been too painful ever since you can auto fleet, no problem

[ionic flint]

back in my day, opsi had no auto, and moving around the quadrants rotated the map

[icy compass]

oh i played first operation siren it was ultra pain

but i also had no perseus

[ionic flint]

i had percy and it was still pain

[icy compass]

wait the community tier list says hiryuu meta is a mobber

[ionic flint]

fun fact

all w14 fights are mob fights

including the "boss"

:)

[icy compass]

@ionic flint dis the updated version
if you see any big gearing mistakes i would appreciate the feedback, its not all BiS obviously but what is realistic to get in around 1 month for me

[ionic flint]

you want hedgehog on wakatsuki

also another toolbox on yuudachi

and toolbox on eugen probably

you also want 155 kai as BB aux for both gasc and musashi

and a better main gun for wakatsuki and yuudachi if possible

[icy compass]

swapping arctic intel stronghold?
what about swapping yuudachis fire extinguisher to the arctic intel stronghold instead of double repair kit

[icy compass]

instead of beaver thingy?
