Scote help

[mossy crest]

I can see you're still quite new so you shoujld focus on one fleet to level

you dont really have resources to level 2 fleets

[hushed violet]

It's bad for me to make mob and boss this early?

ah

[mossy crest]

yeah for sure, you dont have bulins to limit break 12 ships

[hushed violet]

When do I start branching out

as in building my 2nd fleet

[mossy crest]

i started levelling a second fleet at world 7

firstly jsut enough to take out 1-2 nodes

[hushed violet]

you think 1 fleet if it's strong enough to take on all enemies?

[mossy crest]

for sure, until world 7 bosses

[hushed violet]

so it would just be 1 mob fleet essentially

[mossy crest]

but you need to get some better ships

did you use your guild coins yet?>

[hushed violet]

I think I used some

let me check

no guild shop just refreshed for me

[mossy crest]

how many guild coins u got?

[hushed violet]

7.1k

[mossy crest]

ok good, buy elite ship: unicorn

[hushed violet]

It just says elite ship for 800

is that unicorn?

[mossy crest]

ye click on it and it gives you a bunch of ships

select unicorn

[hushed violet]

ohhh

my guild told me to buy it but I didn't understand

gdi

[mossy crest]

ye buy unicorn then buy portland from the rare ship

[hushed violet]

I could've gotten her that early

I have a portland

[mossy crest]

you need copies to limit break her

[hushed violet]

I have a bunch in my dock

[mossy crest]

oh right

what level is ur portland

[hushed violet]

reason I was just eugen was to min max wiht research

let me check

Portland is 67 rn but I think she's on a comission

I have 3 more copies of her to full lb

[mossy crest]

k so you can max limit break her soon

[hushed violet]

but I was usually just lbing once I hit max

[mossy crest]

dont buy portland then get phoenix instead from rare ships

[hushed violet]

she's a good zombie unit right

[mossy crest]

post a screenshot of the guild shop and ill tell u what else to get

yeah phoenix is a great cheap second tank

[hushed violet]

damn if I knew I could've gotten unicorn this early I would've swapped her out immediately and already started skilling her up + retrofit

[mossy crest]

ye basically uni is going to carry you to w9 basically

she's that strong once retrofit

[hushed violet]

I see

I was referencing en tier list just to kinda of know the popular units

[mossy crest]

Buy: tech box (eagle)

skill book (red)
retrofit print (carrier)

and then refresh shop

[hushed violet]

I assume I max them all out

[mossy crest]

yeah buy max number of those

[hushed violet]

do I buy another unicorn + phoenix for lb

[mossy crest]

yes

[hushed violet]

oops sent hte wrong one

[mossy crest]

i was about to say how did u get the same inventory

[hushed violet]

lol

[mossy crest]

t4 tech box: eagle
Retrofit:carrier
T2 gear parts: I'm always out of general parts for these but buy what u need

[hushed violet]

I'm not sure what I need so I'll just stock up on general

so how do I get my unicorn + phoenix leveled since I'm starting from square one

[mossy crest]

well you'll want to wait til u get your portland back from commision

she's going to be your main tank

eugen is too expensive and doesnt do as much damage

[hushed violet]

okay

want me to send ss of units I have

[mossy crest]

show the rest of the your dock as well

ye

[hushed violet]

ok

is there a certain filter or sort I should do

[mossy crest]

sort by rarity

[hushed violet]

like rarity or lvl

need srs too?

[mossy crest]

yeah keep going til u get to white ones

[hushed violet]

ok

a lot of my rares and commons I retired. I was using the tier list as reference and they were not used

I just assume since they're low rarity I can always regrind them

hopefully none of the key ones I actually need

[mossy crest]

aight so tosa is a good bb to use for now. Indom is a good carrier and unicorn for last slot

thats backline sorted

portland main tank, z23 middle and you can start raising ryza as the third

[hushed violet]

also this comp I should literally just use for everything until w9?

[mossy crest]

you might need to start raising the second fleet around 7-8 to at least take out 1-3 nodes

[hushed violet]

okay

[mossy crest]

just so ur main fleet can hit boss with ammo still

MLB tosa and indom if you got the coins

[hushed violet]

immediately or as they get close to max?

[mossy crest]

immediately, the oil you save isnt worth struggling without their buffed stats and skills

[hushed violet]

also 1 question I saw minneapolis was very good as main tank for mob

is portalnd still better for this comp?

[mossy crest]

yeah but u dont have the bulins to budget for her

[hushed violet]

*portland

[mossy crest]

main fleet is more important

[hushed violet]

okay

[mossy crest]

you only have enough to MLB tosa and indom

[hushed violet]

would it be too much if we go through gears?

[mossy crest]

nope I was about to suggest it

[hushed violet]

also lets say portland comes back

what do I do to get everyone leveled up

since they level gaps is all over the place

[mossy crest]

keep running t3

[hushed violet]

and pray they don't die?

[mossy crest]

since you will get a little event currency for that

uni shouldnt die theres not too many suicide boats and planes that early

[hushed violet]

okay

checked t4 and level range is 64 with boss 65

does that mean I should stop when my lowest level units are close to 64/65?

or when is a good stopping point

[mossy crest]

i would say you can go for it once uni is 65 yeah

[hushed violet]

sounds good

[mossy crest]

then u can farm there til 80ish for t5

[hushed violet]

how should we go about gears

[mossy crest]

uhhhh show depot and click the bottom left button to show equipped

[hushed violet]

I feel like I have a decent amount of purples I farmed quite a bit

but I can show blues if necessary

[mossy crest]

ok so corsairs are the best fighters you have

u got helldivers for dive bombers

barracudas are your best torp bomber

[hushed violet]

another question I have is why did we pick ryza?

[mossy crest]

cause once you get her gear from event she deletes everything on screen for 35 seconds

[hushed violet]

I saw that she gets a lot more synergy from having more collab ships

ah okay cool

[mossy crest]

nah she doesnt need any other collab ship

[hushed violet]

hopefully I get some of the others

somehow got 2 extra copies of her still no other collab

[mossy crest]

you'll get kala for sure, patricia is the only one from gacha you really want

[hushed violet]

I also can't get roon u not enough cores which is unfortunate

okay

[mossy crest]

and u can buy klaudia from event shop

[hushed violet]

there's no way for me to clutch roon u is there?

[mossy crest]

roon u is core data only

[hushed violet]

I saw klaudia drops from t5 and all th stages

so maybe I get lucky

[mossy crest]

but yeah since u have 2 copies of ryza already thats close to getting another strong ship at max limit

[hushed violet]

Is only time I would use hellcat as fighter for indom over corsair when it's gold rarity?

[mossy crest]

yeah the hellcat when purple is not as good as corsair

[hushed violet]

ah okay

I referenced tier list and saw it was gold but I just assume purple would get the job done too

guess I was wrong

[mossy crest]

it will do fine if u need more fighters

still 2x500lb bombs

[hushed violet]

double gold steam catapult for indom?

[mossy crest]

yup

and then upgrade her planes as much as u can since it will reduce their launch reload time

[hushed violet]

okay

man I was strugglign to figure out what to do

I kept going back to main story then event

and nothing I tried was working

[mossy crest]

its a complicated game im still learning too

[hushed violet]

this progression guide I was referencing had me make 2 fleets and it seemed fine

but I guess it's not efficient enough

[mossy crest]

the one from the tierlist website is kind of sus in some places

like telling u to farm for carriers in w3

[hushed violet]

;-;

I may have done that

a lot

prob why my levels are so abnormal

[mossy crest]

i did it for 3 days til i joined this discord and they told me to stop

[hushed violet]

they really should redo the guide tbh it seemed very legit

[mossy crest]

did u open the boxes u bought just now btw

[hushed violet]

will do that rn

golden barracuda

[mossy crest]

give that to uni once you retrofit her, will wipe out 2 waves alone with that

[hushed violet]

so my main goal is just retrofit portland and unicorn

[mossy crest]

yup

and z23

[hushed violet]

I'll prob dm you once I get to t5 hopefully or if I have any other probs

[mossy crest]

[hushed violet]

I used to ask discord for advice but a lot of people were very general

thanks for taking time

[mossy crest]

np, hope u clear the event, the ships are awesome for new players

[hushed violet]

tyty

forgot to ask about gear for vanguard or does it not really matter since backline will be the carries

[mossy crest]

give each of them a toolkit and something that gives evasion like a shipwheel or camo

anti air just slap whatever

purple is better

the dual 150s you already put on your light cruisers thats good

z23s gun is good

give portland eugens gun

https://imgur.com/a/TNpH1rL this is really useful for later as well, bookmark it

[hushed violet]

got it will do

also for skills I assume I should start leveling unicorn heals, but who else?

[mossy crest]

tosa red skill and indom both of her red skills

in fact all of indoms skills

if u got books left over still then do z23 and ryzas skills

portland u dont need to level any of her skills

[hushed violet]

got it

[hushed violet]

should I worry about the cats? I almost have them maxed out I think I'm 37/40 but I haven't picked one to start leveling

don't really know much about them or what I should look for

It's probably super minor but maybe it adds more dps idk

[mossy crest]

its really minor, do you have any gold cats?

[hushed violet]

I do

in a battle, but I can check what I have after

It's Bishamaru and Antenna

I have 2 of each for a total of 4

[mossy crest]

read their main skills, bisha is staff cat for cv and antenna is flex for bb accuracy

so feed the one with the worse skills for their respective buffs to the other

for example if u got 2 bishas and one has cv buffs and the other has submarine buffs

feed the submarine one to cv

blue cats u can straight up feed every time

some purple cats can be ok

[hushed violet]

I see. It seems gold is a limiting factor what's the normal method people farm gold?

[mossy crest]

need to get to world 9 to get any decent amount of gold

[hushed violet]

Is spamming t-3 all I can really do there's no efficient 1:1 method for me? I can't really make use of the mvp bonus since it's going to my higher level ships

[mossy crest]

did you give t4 a go yet?

[hushed violet]

haven't

I can try it right now

was doing 1:1 for campaign to try and level up ryza and unicorn

they were barely getting exp

was able to boost them from 30s to 50s

or almost 50

gonna attempt ts-1 rn don't have access to t-4 yet, but they are the same level wise

as able to beat ts-1, but I'm pretty sure I can't 3 star ts-4 yet

I could manual and retreat, but that's very tedious

[mossy crest]

yeah dont do 1:1 for levelling

having an overlevelled ship stealing mvp isnt the worst thing in the world

unless they're capped before 100

[hushed violet]

my backline was capped so I lb my tosa 1 more

so she can at least make use of mvp and flagship

[mossy crest]

you dont have to 3 star ts4 either, use it to just farm xp for now

[hushed violet]

okay

I don't need to 3 star to gain access to auto battle?

[mossy crest]

nope just beat the stage 2 times

and that gives u access to clearing mode which you can reduce the threat level

[hushed violet]

I only beat the stage if I destroy flagship right? If I retreat before then it's just wasted?

[mossy crest]

yeah the boss node. You'll keep all xp/drops you gained up til then but you wont get the event currency drop

but you dont have to clear all the escort fleet for now

[hushed violet]

okay I messed up a lot in the past by retreating bc I thought escorts gave progress

[mossy crest]

generally u just do a full clear once the threat level is safe

cause then its really easy to clear everything

[hushed violet]

I've been targetting the hard ships for more exp which has been destroying my vanguard

I should just go for lowest triangle until threat is safe

[mossy crest]

they kinda run after you so you might not be able to avoid them

[hushed violet]

yea well ones I can avoid I'll try

[mossy crest]

are u able to clear t4 with the minimum amount of escort +boss?

[hushed violet]

still doing it as we type

on boss rn

frontline might die but should be able to dps with backline

cleared with 1 star. Just gonna run it to lower danger then

[mossy crest]

yeah just keep doing the minimum clear, you're getting good xp doing this as well

[hushed violet]

t5 is lvl80

[mossy crest]

yup

[hushed violet]

I should prob attempt it when everyone is 80s I guess or 90

[mossy crest]

yeah, boss is a bit tricky also u might want to use manual there

[hushed violet]

but th stages are same as t5 right so I should be able to finally farm it once I get there

manual until I get low threat

[mossy crest]

th stages 1-4 are easier than t5

and th5 is the same

[hushed violet]

for danger threat is based off on clears on the boss

or just killing fleets in general

did bare min and it didn't go down a level

[mossy crest]

clears on boss

each clear reduces threat level by 1 from 10

[hushed violet]

any way I can make gold like clearing blue equips or something? don't have enough gold to lb indom to 100

[mortal bolt]

mmmm

[mortal bolt]

drop shouhou for unicorn immediately

[hushed violet]

did that a while ago

[mortal bolt]

alr

[hushed violet]

Should I buy Specialized Bulin Custom from protoshop? Don't know what she does, but I finally have enough currency

[mossy crest]

It's for limit breaking UR ships and we are getting a UR ship in a couple of weeks

[hushed violet]

Is there a 2nd comp I could make to grind or main story while my event fleet is low on morale or should I not bother and just wait for morale to restore

[mossy crest]

i would wait for morale unless you're overflowing in oil

[hushed violet]

I am overflowing, but it's fine I'll wait. Also was able to finally clear t5 stages

currently my fleet costs my 65 oil per run later on or near the end of the event do you think I will be able to optimize to reduce oil? I kinda want to get the 80k currency milestone if possible

[mossy crest]

once u clear t5 and th once there's an oil cap in place

so you dont have to worry about that

[hushed violet]

Do you think we can make another team I can try and level on the side? Thinking of using it to clear TH stages once the current fleet you made for me is low on morale

[mossy crest]

hmm maybe

show current fleet again?

[mossy crest]

gasc u/penny/shouhou

got kala yet? Could go Kala/laffey/helena

[hushed violet]

Okay sounds good

I'll put them in my dorm

I thought penny was used as a main flagship

oh wait I'm dumb

Of my 2 starter destroyers why did I pick Laffey over Javelin Idrk what the differences are between all the starters

[mossy crest]

javelin is probably the least useful, she needs to be played manual for full effect since her torp buff is random

other 2 are essentially gunboats they just shoot lots of bullets

laffey is a bit more durable if you invest 21k coins into her unique augment

[hushed violet]

I see

Only have 1 gold bulin left I assume I just use that on Gascogne to get her to 90

Also have Klaudia don't know if she's worth building

[mossy crest]

i would save it for the event ships if u get them

Klaudia is very good, she's like unicorn but heals only the vanguard but with an extra plane slot

so more damage

[hushed violet]

well it wouldn't be enough bulins to get them all ready for event

I see

[hushed violet]

You think my current main fleet will be able to clear the daily SP map?

Thinking of building lvl3 Offense Boost for core nexus. Currently have max exp and affinity boost

[mossy crest]

SP is a bit hard since it requires you to clear 8 nodes and boss
