@sage orchid

[sage orchid]

Oh okay this works too

[pastel violet]

This is a thread ya

[pastel violet]

Is your goal to just clear w14 or lethal 3 star w14

[sage orchid]

I want to clear then grind for New Orleans

Incoming

[rose spire]

okay then just clear I guess

[sage orchid]

I’ve got a lot more but these are some of my best

[sinful tiger]

You can do the exact fleet I mentioned. That's my recommendation

Musashi/NJ/Haku/Agir/Anchor/Kron

[rose spire]

Musashi, Vanguard, Haku, Agir, Jeanne d' Arc, Anchorage

[sinful tiger]

You could replace NJ with another CV if you prefer, to offset airstrikes and get more screen clear

[sage orchid]

Here’s my mob 14

It was suggested by someone else in the server

[pastel violet]

Replace jervis with kron

[sinful tiger]

Jervis is just fine there

[rose spire]

I prefer a CB over EVA tanks for W14

more consistent

besides they have enough CBs for it anyway

[pastel violet]

You have a leveled kazagumo?

[sage orchid]

I’ll check brb

[pastel violet]

Cbs are just better than jervis

[sage orchid]

Btw you don’t need the they I’m a guy

[pastel violet]

[sage orchid]

No she’s not levelled but I can quickly do that

[pastel violet]

Once you have leveled kazagumo, put kaza in mob fleet replacing shimakaze and put shimakaze in boss fleet

Boss fleet: fdg nj shinano, agir shimakaze anchorage

Run standard bis on all the ships

Unicorn should stagger from bolga by default so no need to worry that much about it

[pastel violet]

Also make sure to have a good submarine fleet

Use submarine fleets on mob fights out of ammo to make up the debuff

Also use em on boss fight too

Makes things easier

And ye thats about it for clearing w14

[sage orchid]

My sub fleet consists of two kms and royal fortune

[pastel violet]

Royal fortune sucks in w14

I generally just dont recommend using her cuz she sucks in content that needs subs

[sage orchid]

So I suppose 3 kms subs then

[rose spire]

yep

[pastel violet]

3 gold kms

Or replace one of them with leo

[rose spire]

not that you exactly need subs TBH

[pastel violet]

You dont but it makes shit safer

[sage orchid]

Here are my sub choices

[pastel violet]

So its bonus

[rose spire]

oh pfft

just use 47, 96, 81

[pastel violet]

Oh why run royal fortune at all lmao

Royal fortune is cope when you have options

[sage orchid]

Well that’s done okay so I need to level kaza a bit more

[pastel violet]

Ya use 47 96 81 for w14, can level 37 for later uses

[sage orchid]

I’ve got most of what I need just need a few more tweaks

[rose spire]

oh yeah, remember NOT to pick up flares

fucks withs your concealment and backline targetting

[sage orchid]

How’s this

[sinful tiger]

Swap NJ and FdG

[sage orchid]

Okay done

I think all that’s left is to level kaza and get her outfitted

[sinful tiger]

The biggest problem is going to be battleships, so that should be fine. I'd probably give FdG and NJ different guns to make sure they aren't shooting at the same time. Maybe give FdG a 457 and NJ a mk7

[sage orchid]

Yep I’ve got those

Mk7 rainbow or purple?

[sinful tiger]

rainbow

[rose spire]

I'd stick a Champaign gun on NJ instead

[sinful tiger]

That's a possibility too

Isn't the boss light armor though?

[sage orchid]

I’ll show you the two gear setup and you csn advise

[rose spire]

only 14-3

[sinful tiger]

At least in 14-4

[rose spire]

everything else is Medium or Heavy

[sinful tiger]

Give NJ the mk7 for 14-3, and a champagne gun for everything else then

[sage orchid]

Which one is the champy gun

The quad?

[rose spire]

I'd give them both shells

different guns already do the staggering

[frosty aspen]

pr3 triple BB gun

[sage orchid]

I’ll be back again then

[sinful tiger]

triple 406 mle 193something

[rose spire]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_155mm_(3rd_Year_Type)_Kai

you also want this for your BB aux guns

[frosty aspen]

or the gearlab american DD gun for NJ

[sinful tiger]

NJ's is fine, but you could also give her a PR5 gun for slightly longer range

[frosty aspen]

or this

[sinful tiger]

Oh right, forgot about that one

[sage orchid]

So consensus then who votes for that one ☝️

[rose spire]

if you can craft it do it

it is the best undisputedly

[sinful tiger]

It's much slower, so it's pretty much designed for NJ

[sage orchid]

I can only craft one right now

I need more op si stuff

[sinful tiger]

That's all you realistically need

[rose spire]

yeah one for NJ

[sinful tiger]

Most battleships use CL guns

[rose spire]

155 Kai for FDG and Musashi

[sage orchid]

Okay fdg has the 155 what’s next

[rose spire]

hold on

[frosty aspen]

sushi with izumo gun (triple 410mm)

[sage orchid]

Nj will get the new one I made

[rose spire]

I'mma just gear these up real quick

[frosty aspen]

unless you need HE

[sage orchid]

It’s for a boss fleet if that helps

[rose spire]

how many tenrais do you have?

[sage orchid]

Musashi is in my mob fleet

The rainbow one

?

[rose spire]

the Rainbow DB yes

[sage orchid]

Not a one sadly

[pastel violet]

You slaking

[sage orchid]

Just haven’t been getting the bps to drop I’ve been running research nearly round the clock

[rose spire]

mob fleet gear

[pastel violet]

You still can buy it from protocore shop

[rose spire]

also wouldn't Haku be stronger for the boss fleet?

[pastel violet]

It shouldnt take long cuz you been focusing pr4 right

Once all pr4 ships hit fs5 all excess bp can be turned into protocores

[sage orchid]

I might be missing a few FS on pr4

[pastel violet]

Ig nj is fine for the intercept

But ya haku would be better

[sage orchid]

Okay yeah all applicable ships on pr4 are fs5

[pastel violet]

The biggest thing you need to watch out in boss fleet is stagger tho

Put like faster planes on shinano

[rose spire]

also you would take Shima over Jeane in th boss?

[pastel violet]

And slap beacon on her

[sage orchid]

Okay csn her hold up here I have to process all the info here

so yay or nay to the rainbow tenrai

[rose spire]

yes

[pastel violet]

Jeanne better

[sage orchid]

Okay I’ll need to get one for shimama

[pastel violet]

Tenrai on haku

[sage orchid]

Or haku

[pastel violet]

Cuz her db slot stronger and she want ijn equip

[sage orchid]

Fuck

[rose spire]

without a Tenrai I was thinking something like this

[pastel violet]

Youd want like 2+ tenrais in gen but its completely unnecessary for w14

By the time you finish pr4 you can usually craft one

And then spend protocore to buy a second

[sage orchid]

I’m gonna get hell for this so here goes

[pastel violet]

Once you finish pr5, can farm a third or fourth tenrai

[rose spire]

go on

[sage orchid]

Boss fleet vanguard

[pastel violet]

Looks gud

[sage orchid]

What about those torps for anchorage

[pastel violet]

Gud

[rose spire]

they're fine

[sage orchid]

Fuck really?!

[rose spire]

that's not quite the standard but close enough

[sage orchid]

I don’t want to leave anything to chance

[pastel violet]

Its good enough

[sage orchid]

What’s best for her

[pastel violet]

Slap like torp bulge instead of beaver on agir

[rose spire]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/550mm_Triple_Torpedo_Launcher#Type_3-0 I use these on her

[pastel violet]

And slap beaver on anchorage

[sage orchid]

Okay I’ll brb

Also thanks a lot for all this input

[pastel violet]

It dont matter much tbh

But ye

You gotta get that grind up for tenrai and research tho

Im unlucky as hell and i have 3 tenrais, granted i grind from day 1 of pr4

Takes like 2 weeks for 1 bp drop sometimes

[sage orchid]

What should I swap on anchorage

For the beaver seal

[pastel violet]

Toolbox

[sage orchid]

Kk

Okay so anchorage has the iris liber torps and the seal and agir has the bulge

(She’s got one hell of a bulge)😏😏🤤🤤

So I need the tenrai

[pastel violet]

You dont need it

But it helps

[sage orchid]

So everyone feel good about the vanguard

For the boss fleet

Also what should use for augments on shima

[rose spire]

Hammer

do soemthing like this basically

also use Jeanne d' Arc over Shimakaze

ignore the +6 torps on Agir, they should be +10

[sage orchid]

so then what should I do with the current setups

If I’m changing it again

[rose spire]

mob fleet stays the same

boss use the set up above

[sage orchid]

Wait is that boss?

[rose spire]

yes

[sage orchid]

Oh okay I got it

I’ve got agir on my mob fleet tho

Wait

Nvm I’m being forgetful

That’s different from my current boss fleet

I believe I’ve got enough bps for one rainbow tenrai

[rose spire]

okay

Stick it on Haku

[sage orchid]

Okay it’s on haku

What’s next if anything

Okay so here’s the mob fleet as seen earlier

Where about should I place haku

[rose spire]

in the boss fleet

she replaced NJ

[sage orchid]

Is that what you used to clear w14

[rose spire]

haha

[sage orchid]

That set up

[rose spire]

I wish

I didn't have any UR CVs so I had to use BBs

but yeah that set up works

[sage orchid]

I’m guessing it didn’t go well

[rose spire]

it worked

but it wasn't good

[sage orchid]

So if that’s the setup you used and it worked but wasn’t good how does mine compare to yours

Gonna go toss that into the full chat and see what happens
