[wet quiver]

max limit break unicorn and retrofit her asap

[twin shore]

Shes already MLB

Just have to Retro

[wet quiver]

my bad, i missed that

[twin shore]

So making a 2 Fleet, who should I format in?

[wet quiver]

would also recommend getting portland retro

[twin shore]

ran out of coins ._.

[wet quiver]

what world are you on?

[twin shore]

Avrora, played since Launch or Open Beta

[wet quiver]

campaign world, not the server

[twin shore]

Uh, havent even started 10-1

[wet quiver]

push through to at least 11-1, can also try pushing for 12-1

[twin shore]

ok

[wet quiver]

world 9+ now has oil caps once you 100% the stage
do /oilcap in #bot-spam for details

[twin shore]

cool o.O thats saves up Oil... though I need to burn them to collect stuff

ok Uni is Retro done

[wet quiver]

replace tirpitz in fleet 1 with unicorn and swap out eugen with phoenix
move z23 to middle

[twin shore]

So this will be my Fleet 1

what should I build for Fleet 2?

[wet quiver]

huge disclaimer that im not very good at fleet building
enterprise - amagi - ark royal
atago - helena - san diego

[twin shore]

Thx 🙂

[wet quiver]

use fleet 1 to clear all of the mobs, then use fleet 2 to kill the boss

[twin shore]

ok Thx for the help ^^

[twin shore]

Gonna.. Leaver this Thread Open for a Week for more ideas from people for more Fleet Formation

[thin lotus]

where are you in the main campaign?

[warped hull]

[spiral salmon]

not like faction fleets were ever the best choice but ye, not good running it for gameplay, unless you are just cosplaying or running meme shit vs easy content

gonna paste this again

just so you know

however, it is possible to get by with faction fleets

so like, if you just commit to cosplaying you can be like esdeath and elbow grease hard enough to beat w14 with kms fleet

[twin shore]

Ch10-3 now

[spiral salmon]

after like 20 hrs of resets

[thin lotus]

sorting by faction is really throwing me off lol

[inland flower]

not a single good eagle bb, this is gonna be halarious

[twin shore]

I mean the KMS I did run carried be everywhere despite expensive Oil. Tirpitz will be replace by FDG

[spiral salmon]

ye no, it will work up until the hard stuff

which is like w14

arbiter hard mode

[twin shore]

The Original KMS Fleet

[thin lotus]

Mob: Alabama, Unicorn Retro, Essex, Portland Retro, Laffey Retro, San Diego

[wet quiver]

eugen literally dead weight kekw

[twin shore]

Gonna paste this here for PR I only have Monarch (recently Unlock), Roon and Saint Louis

[spiral salmon]

pr1 dont matter

focus pr4

also develop fdg and coin her up asap

[wet quiver]

should be able to start getting agir

[thin lotus]

Boss: Hood(get her augment), Enterprise, Shinano, Roon, Helena, Montpelier

[twin shore]

I am investing on FDG, Missions are on Timer Lock

[spiral salmon]

after the entirety of pr4 is done, aka all ships fs5/dev30, have 1 copy of tenrai

move on to pr5

then after you finish the entirety of pr5, you are free to do whatever you want

either getting more copies of the ply gun or more copies of tenrai

or just get drake

[thin lotus]

you need better BBs

[wet quiver]

for research focus, right?

[spiral salmon]

yeye

ship development just whatever

cuz its fast as hell as long as you do it properly

you can develop like all pr4 and below ships before you even max pr4

[wet quiver]

i think new people tend to get confused between research focus and research ship unlocking

[spiral salmon]

ah true

[twin shore]

Note: I played since 2018, I took a Hiatus through the whole 2022

[spiral salmon]

research focus is what i meant, ship development can be done really easily

so you see the big scary 2 million exp collection?

that shit can be done within a week

[thin lotus]

yeah I could tell, Neptunia ships lol

[spiral salmon]

use 3 ships that fit the criteria

and just spam farm 12-1 for example

or 12-4 if you value gold more than exp

[twin shore]

yeah and I used the Combat Data Collection to fill it up whilst grtting to 12-1 for the farming

[spiral salmon]

nah dont use combat data

turn them all into prototype cores in your inventory

because exp grind is so fast that its meaningless

[thin lotus]

you can comfortably unlock an entire season in a month a half

[spiral salmon]

oh and all ships that boost exp income is completely and utterly useless if they dont fit the faction criteria for exp grind

[thin lotus]

it takes around 5 months to get everyone to Dev 30 without doing cube research

[spiral salmon]

and also also

use 6 ships on exp grind, because oil cap

you dont have to run fleets that has low oil cost, just go FULL HOG

[thin lotus]

right now though focus on getting to 12-4

[spiral salmon]

when a ship reach level 120 or 125, remove them and slot in another ship that needs levels

[thin lotus]

you have the ships just do it

[spiral salmon]

ye focus on farming like highest stage until you can push 12-1

you can take a break at 12-1 and just spam farm there

or push to 12-4

it dont matter much bc the progression up until 12-4 with the suggested fleet is very linear

aka you just stack good leveled equipments, level the ships

and you can beat everything until 12-4

then after 12-4 it becomes somewhat complicated

as you need to swap to something that specifically works best in w13

and the same (but even more extreme) for w14

[thin lotus]

yeah but don't worry about that for now

[spiral salmon]

for all of opsi, treat it like its 12-4, just oonga boonga with your 2 campaign fleets

[twin shore]

alright. also is this how the format should be?

[spiral salmon]

move portland to the left

[thin lotus]

Monty should also be off tank(right most)

[spiral salmon]

leftmost position is the tank position, because ships takes most dmg there

[thin lotus]

also retrofit her and Laffey

also get Hood and maybe Monty's augments

[twin shore]

Uni, Sandy and Portland is already Retro, just need to Retro Laffy. as for Augment I need to find and farm the Augment Module Core for Hood and Monty

[spiral salmon]

just do your weekly augment mission shit

and once you can do it, do hood first

[twin shore]

so like this now?

[spiral salmon]

yesh

[thin lotus]

Sandy should be off tank but yeah

[twin shore]

welp, getting gears is and augment is gonna be a pain

Sandy Offtank?! o.O

[spiral salmon]

for gears, follow whatever the english tierlist suggests

open your gold and purple boxes

upgrade all gears you are using to +6 if you cant afford to +10

[thin lotus]

yeah also your gear doesn't need to BiS to push to 12-4

[spiral salmon]

and augments arent even necessary, they are just good bonus

and in this game

you want to be grinding pretty much constantly

when you cant get higher stage you grind

when you dont have any more stage to clear you grind

thats basically the perpetual cycle

when both your fleets are lvl 120, swap to new ships that needs levels and you grind

[twin shore]

Where can I find this unles its Pinned

[spiral salmon]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

this has gear suggestion to every ship in the game

do keep in mind that

[thin lotus]

yeah start learning to form your own opinions eventually though

[spiral salmon]

^

it is good until you can form your own opinions

[twin shore]

Yeah... think Im gonna hide the gears my KMS is using since I didnt actually used their... Meta suggestion o.o

[twin shore]

COOL

Gonna take me a LONG time to sort the gears

[thin lotus]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

this should help

[spiral salmon]

yeh, when you see a gear not mentioned in the tierlist, you pretty much just scrap them

or follow that link ye

the tierlist shows all the yk, worthwhile gears

when something isnt mentioned, its either some new gear or its just bad

or both

[twin shore]

Soo all those Gears are Scrap.. alright

[thin lotus]

the first part anyway

[spiral salmon]

also keep in mind, you can equip random trash gears on ships you dont use

and they wont take gear inventory slots

so you basically never have to expand gear inventory this way

as long as you have random trash ships that can equip them
