Here's the current fleet setup.
#Trying to get serious, assistance needed
regal leaf
Im trying to retrofit her currently, more as an experiment than knowing what she does-
lyric shore
shes available from guild shop if u dont already have one
also dont use warspite shes not worth it anymore
regal leaf
Dont use who-
lyric shore
take it from me who retrofitted her and didnt get much out of it
warpsite the one in the middle
regal leaf
I thought warkai was some fancy name for a combo
lyric shore
nop kai means retrofit
mb
also noshiro shld be tanking not yr allen
positioning matters
regal leaf
Oh. Okay. So replace warspite then with, unicorn, for the heals
lyric shore
where u put the ship
vanguard ships in the leftmost position take the most dmg so its called tank position
regal leaf
I just liked the symmetry mostly. I didnt know there was a use for positioning. Oh lord...I am so far behind
lyric shore
yr weakest vanguard should be in the middle position
also for campaign flagships u want a bb to tank too
regal leaf
Which ones BB again
lyric shore
u have a hood lying around right? shes better than warspite
lyric shore
Which ones BB again
battleships/battlecruisers
lyric shore
did u complete beginners missions
upbeat garden
bb = battleship
bc = battlecruiser
cv = aircraft carrier
cvl = light aircraft carrier
cl = light cruiser
ca = heavy cruiser
cb = large cruiser
dd = destroyer
lyric shore
I can list out who I do have
just send ss of yr dock sorted by main and vanguard
regal leaf
Ive got her in fleet 2 with tosa, tallin, kirov
lyric shore
isnt hood better for campaign tho since she has the augment now
regal leaf
I was trying to keep the parliament ships together because if i remember one of them buffed the others
lyric shore
faction fleets arent always good
upbeat garden
if they can get hood right now and can afford to fork over 21k gold + materials to get the augment, sure
regal leaf
I am 110% sure I do not have a hood
upbeat garden
what are your options in the medal shop?
regal leaf
of the ones I dont have, CA is minneapolis, and CV is illustrious and zuikaku
unless hood isnt SR rarity
upbeat garden
no, shes an ssr ship
use belorussiya for now
regal leaf
When you say beginner missions what do you mean
regal leaf
Also updated fleet
lyric shore
its also where u can get portland
upbeat garden
lyric shore
also grab independence from core shop when u can afford it
shes good for any form of mobbing
regal leaf
I havent completed the Hard tab yet, im three missions away
upbeat garden
what options do you have for cv/cvl?
lyric shore
something like this would work (replace hood with belo)
regal leaf
whos that on the right
upbeat garden
noshiro
lyric shore
it might be a bit expensive but u can get pretty far with it
lyric shore
whos that on the right
yr noshiro that u oathed
regal leaf
main fleet. My bad. I know who Noshiro is. Shes my number one
upbeat garden
also grab independence from core shop when u can afford it
.
lyric shore
thats independence
the one on the left in vanguard is portland which u can also get from beginner missions
lyric shore
its ok just grab her when u can dont rush
regal leaf
when shady said hood is SSR whats that mean. When I look at the rarity filter there is only SR and UR
upbeat garden
i meant sr
lyric shore
sr is yellow rarity
regal leaf
upbeat garden
youre gonna want to replace kaga, she doesnt really work on her own
regal leaf
I forgot portland hold on, she would go where noshiro is and noshiro would kick out san diego?
lyric shore
sandy is an overkill aa carry that u dont need since u already have an allen
regal leaf
i was wondering why recommended AA was 600 and I had 2300
oor something like that whatever the game said
lyric shore
noshiro can off-tank (left most position)
upbeat garden
if that san diego isnt retrofitted, shes even worse off
lyric shore
i was wondering why recommended AA was 600 and I had 2300
well u had double aa carries so now u know lol
upbeat garden
what are your cv/cvl options?
lyric shore
indep when u can afford her, its ok to keep kaga for now just dont invest into her anymore
regal leaf
Uh, i can send ss of cv but whats cvl
upbeat garden
light aircraft carrier
regal leaf
This is it
upbeat garden
i guess keep kaga for now, but start building saratoga
regal leaf
i thought enterprise was really good, especially with her lucky E skill. It sounds very good at least
upbeat garden
shes really good
more of a boss fleet cv
lyric shore
enterprise is good just expensive for beginners and unsuited for campaign
lyric shore
sara would work until u get better options
upbeat garden
enterprise _is_ good just expensive for beginners and unsuited for campaign
shes fine, you just use her in the boss fleet
regal leaf
is illustrious good? I could probably grind out some x-4 and save up some medals to get her from the medal shop
lyric shore
too overkill for campaign imho unless w14
lyric shore
is illustrious good? I could probably grind out some x-4 and save up some medals...
shes decent nothing amazing but nothng horrible either
u dont need her but u can grab her if u think shes waifu
upbeat garden
too overkill for campaign imho unless w14
not really, given that shes one of the first cvs beginners have access to
regal leaf
hm, so ill just leave it as it is now
Now I gotta redo my Fleet 2. And this doesnt even count for gear...which is another headache
lyric shore
ignore fleet 2 until w10 its too expensive for now
also over leveling will let you brute force stages until w13
regal leaf
i have like...10 repair kits so i could fit all my main fleet with them and tank everything
im not gonna, bad idea
lyric shore
repair kits are for vanguards
upbeat garden
use this for a general gear guide
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home
lyric shore
just rmb to read the desc of every piece of gear, multiple gear in the same slot means they perform similarly
regal leaf
this games too indepth for its waifu quality
lyric shore
not rly u can go all the way to w13 with just waifu ships and good gear
most good ships are waifu anyway 
regal leaf
is it worth retrofitting portland, or should i just leave her as she is
lyric shore
she needs the retrofit
regal leaf
well...i guess its good im already almost there. And same goes for Unicorn? Shes a couple upgrades off retrofitted
upbeat garden
unicorn gets significantly improved with retro, though shes still good pre-retro
lyric shore
yep unicorn gets really good after her retrofit cuz she gets a preload (it means she starts a battle with a airstrike ready)
regal leaf
Man i really screwed myself over. I thought Izumo would be useful so I MEGA grinded today
I have 400 oil
lyric shore
dont bother with pr grind until yr at least w9
exp grinding before w9 is very inefficient
regal leaf
on the account i had before this one i exp grinded on 3-4 because the kitsunes
i finally got them and everyone told me they were quite underwhelming so. Here we go
lyric shore
fox mines arent worth it either
regal leaf
with unicorn in the fleet does she heal the entire fleet, or just the main
upbeat garden
pre-retro, she only heals vanguard
after retro, the first airstrike of each battle heals everyone
regal leaf
Hm...i just realized if im getting serious i can no longer just run auto in the background. The grind really begins
regal leaf
So...shady. I am looking on that site ou sent me for basic gear tips. But. I see nothing here about gear. Only hull types, fleet guides, so on and so forth
upbeat garden
click on the ship
upbeat garden
purple versions of the gear shown can serve as placeholders until you get the actual version
gonna have to start opening gold tech boxes and hoping for some gear
