W14 Rookie Fleetbuilding

[boreal badge]

ok

[boreal badge]

so fking pog

i was wondering about u posting

ok

eh this is free

[languid sage]

idk what im doing, but my boss fleet doesnt seem to clear the 14-3 boss without taking some losses

after trying different fleets, my mob fleet for 14-3 seems to be fine

[boreal badge]

well, since you've already experimented well

then try using aquila in your boss fleet as a slot

[languid sage]

this is what i currently tried in my boss fleet

idk much on fleet building tbh

i just slapped stuff in

[boreal badge]

oh

i see

doesnt look that good

[languid sage]

the 2 carriers are using hvar hellcats

[boreal badge]

eh, fine for 14-3 only

[languid sage]

idk, i still keep getting A clears since some of the ships go down

not sure what im doing wrong

maybe its a gear problem?

[boreal badge]

Musashi Volga Unicorn, Yuudachi An Shan Chang Chun
FdG Vanguard Aquila(healer) Agir JdA Shima

well this is my take anyways

[languid sage]

are those mob/boss fleets

[boreal badge]

yes, mob then boss

aquila wears double fighter

and gearing for backline is basically

[languid sage]

why musashi and FdG in mob/boss respectively?

[boreal badge]

cos i voted mob fleet harder than boss

musashi and fdg freely swappable based on ur opinion

[languid sage]

this is my mob fleet currently which currently seems to be doing the job

[boreal badge]

it is sub par

[languid sage]

i mean it cleared

[boreal badge]

but will it clear 14-4

[languid sage]

at least up the boss

hm

[boreal badge]

but the boss fleet is more consistent by using aquila

that much is guarantee

[languid sage]

any specific fighters to use on aquila?

[boreal badge]

rockets on 14-3 is ok, but 2x1000s for 14-4

[languid sage]

also ive seen images like these get posted around, where do they come from?

[boreal badge]

oh that copy paste

[boreal badge]

https://x94fujo6rpg.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[languid sage]

i mean the ones people use to share around as a guide

like "what fleet should i use?" and then they post the pic

[languid sage]

will the 3 DD frontline be tanky enough? and should i bring a hedgehog, and if so who will hold it

[boreal badge]

need hedgehog yes

probably an shan and chang chun

for hedge and purple depth charge

three DD frontline is not normally tanky enough, but it's good with volga unicorn

[languid sage]

rn on an shan and chang chun im using a toolbox and seal of the four gods

should i swap out the toolbox

[boreal badge]

yeah

seal is better

[languid sage]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbguide
this guide recommends not bringing the purple depth charge, and instead says to use an ASW plane

thoughts?

[boreal badge]

hmmm

that's with much weaker fleets

it's outdated in several ways now

it makes sense with certain restrictions

[languid sage]

man i wish they gave more hedgehogs

[boreal badge]

ehh

dont need more

[languid sage]

what type of augment for the DDs?

dual swords?

[boreal badge]

ya, dual swords all

[languid sage]

well im gonna need more coins

[boreal badge]

hmmm, well

augments are unimportant

w14 and arbiters were cleared before augments

but you need the base gearing to be good

[languid sage]

shimakaze in offtank slot?

[boreal badge]

mmm ya

[languid sage]

who should i give the FCS table to

[boreal badge]

rainbow table on fdg, gold hpfcr on musashi

[languid sage]

replacing the black shell if they have it on beforehand?

and what gun for musashi

[boreal badge]

purple twin 410 kai

[languid sage]

should the table/hpfcr replace the white or black shell

leaning towards white

well here goes nothing

gonna try it out

hm, even with volga and unicorn the frontlines taking a beating

ill see if i can swap some gear around

[boreal badge]

hm?

how much is a beating

[languid sage]

yuudachi and an shan were like 1/4 or 3/5 health after around 3 sorties?

[boreal badge]

hmm

oh well

then drake an shan yuudachi

ought perform better

[languid sage]

yuudachi with hedgehog/depth charge?

[boreal badge]

well, it's ok with volga uni

seal and oxytorp on an shan probably is ok

[languid sage]

you mean for ASW?

[boreal badge]

i mean because yuudachi is squishy

with those two auxes

[languid sage]

spawn in
all 3 nodes are 3* BB nodes

💀

[boreal badge]

with drake an shan yuudachi?

[languid sage]

yea

[boreal badge]

that fleet should clear three* on ammo easily

3* bbs should just be threatening on zero ammo

[languid sage]

and will these fleets also do fine in 14-4?

[boreal badge]

hmm

"fine"

just watch for rng nodes and be ready to reset

only a worry on lethal for these things

these should be very RNG resistant is what i'll say

Musashi Volga Unicorn, Drake An Shan Yuudachi
FdG Vanguard Aquila (healer), Agir JdA Shima

I think

hmmm

i think it should be fine

FdG needs defensive auxes

so does musashi

[languid sage]

for 14-4?

[boreal badge]

yes

[languid sage]

what kind of defensive aux, fire extinguisher, rudder, or what

[boreal badge]

both

musashi is reasonably ok without FE, but should wear rudder

[languid sage]

now FdG and volga are taking damage

[boreal badge]

eh

but i'd suggested musashi mob for this reason

[languid sage]

i see

[boreal badge]

besides

drake an shan yuudachi is very high dmg

[languid sage]

man i got good mob node rolls this time, gonna see if i can pull through

ok turns out no

[boreal badge]

by the way

i expect you should need boss resets too

like just restarting the node due to bad rng

[languid sage]

oh yea what gun for vanguard

tripe 406?

[boreal badge]

mmm

doy

do you

have multiple 457s

[languid sage]

is that the rainbow BB gun

[boreal badge]

the rainbow twin

[languid sage]

i own exactly 0 of them

[boreal badge]

406mk6 for 14-3, 406mle for 14-4

[languid sage]
