#How should I build my second fleet?
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
you really want to use belo
Would northII and San Diego be good for vanguard?
probably not san diego
I’m at 9/10 rn 
belo
hornii
GZ
Z23
norii
phoenix
are all worth using
you really need to level up thatcher, aulick, foote, ausburne, and spence
send them on commissions instead of the multiple phoenix and shroupshires you're current using
javelin, london, juneau should all be in commissions
nelson and zeppy also
graf zeppelin
I don’t think I have her?
ahh sorry taihou
Ooh that makes more sense
yeah sorry
How should I orient this team?
let me ask. what are you farming in game right now or goals?
Goal is D1?
you have no issues with C maps with those ships right?
I haven’t really tried yet tbh
Rn I’m mostly just trying to reach lv 60 so I can do ch 8, but I should probably at least have a mob and boss fleet
yeah so you can do it the simple way. go back to chapter 1 and work your way up as they level up
or drop Z23 and see if Unicorn and Laffey can carry Phoenix and Norii on something harder that gives much better xp
btw feel free to spend some xp packs on belo
you're not likely to replace belo soon
you can leave taihou out temporarily also and use arizona to carry for a bit
Tbh I’ve been dropping penn for hornet on 7-4 to level her and she’s been surviving ok 
that's the way. take ships out of boss and use them to carry the weaker ships in mob
so you would swap unicorn and hornii for example.
hornii shouldn't have trouble surviving boss fleet on safe. Unicorn will carry the mob
if you xp pack belo you won't have to worry about her either.
Can I do something similar for vanguard? Like swapping port for northii
no
even sandwiched a low level vanguard ship will probably die on boss
best you can do is remove laffey from boss entirely and use her to tank on mob
when map is safe and there's no cost limit you don't need to run full boss fleets
just run the ships you need to kill boss
I’ve done that with 3:2 fleet, but I figured it’d be more efficient to just level hornet 
Btw, I noticed you mention belo a lot, what makes her better than Taihou or hornII when their all tier 1?
she's a battleship and you don't have any good ones
battleships do important things in the game meta. they're sturdy so they can take more damage. they shoot at bomb boats reducing the damage you take from them. they simply do a lot of damage with very few conditions.
also important they're not carriers. If you thought it was hard equipping two carriers, try four or 5. Finding two decent battleship guns shouldn't hard considering you get one for free.
also taihou is only that good with her augment
That’s good to know
Thanks for helping with the team building, probably gonna be a while before I can actually use it considering the 4 SRS lmao 
yeah ok so stick to just 10 ships. leave out taihou and norii for now
Should I swap them for penn? I feel like enty and uni should be able to hold their own
correctly equipped unicorn + laffey should be able to clear the event C maps by themselves
definitely up to C2 at least
Idk abt correctly equipped. I’ve been following the guides on the tier list but it’s mostly transitional gear atm
depends on if it's a true transitional or not but even with +10 transitionals they shouldn't have a problem
Tbh I don’t have the gold (or plates) for gear leveling rn, most of my focus has been going to retrofitting uni
