what do i level up first for W14 and arbiter hard

[exotic pollen]

I'll soon have August

[severe pilot]

well what do you have maxed out RN?

[exotic pollen]

Ancho,an shan,ark and Sirius are my priorities rn

What else should be added ?

Besides azuma

And yat and chang

[severe pilot]

some subs

U-81, U-96

[exotic pollen]

Nothing else really worth it ?

[cunning cave]

U 47 is 120

Keep using her instead of U 101

[severe pilot]

oh didn't see her

just 96 and 81

yeah that's it really

everyone else I see is fleet tech fodder at best

[cunning cave]

VV and Duca fleet tech fodder

[exotic pollen]

So Ancho,an shan,ark, Sirius,azuma,yat,chang,u 81 and 96 ?

[severe pilot]

well you know what I meant lol

yeah pretty much

[exotic pollen]

They good ?

[severe pilot]

good, but you don't really need them TBH

[cunning cave]

They are, I'm currently struggling to get an overview of your fleets tho so dunno if u need them

[severe pilot]

they don't fulfill roles your maxed out ships don't already do though

[exotic pollen]

What about chesh ?

Fleet fodder too ?

[cunning cave]

Chesh kinda loses her spotlight after w13

[severe pilot]

yeah

[exotic pollen]

Rip i didnt even use her in W13

💀

[severe pilot]

take away her AA and she's basically Portland+

[exotic pollen]

Ig fleet fodder for later

Thank you guys

[cunning cave]

Hmm could Scylla be worth?

Don't see anything much similar to her in maxed ships right away

[severe pilot]

better than most

but they've already got a fair bit leveling so it wouldn't really be that top priority

[exotic pollen]

I'm a guy and what does she do

[cunning cave]

Oh wait you have poi

[severe pilot]

DPS

[cunning cave]

Do you have her retro item?

[exotic pollen]

Poi ?

[cunning cave]

Barrage spam so dps

Yuudachi

[severe pilot]

Yuddachi

[exotic pollen]

Nope

💀

[cunning cave]

Rip

[exotic pollen]

I love stuffs locked behind events

👍

[cunning cave]

Guess you could also raise Ariake on the side, only ara I saw

[exotic pollen]

Oh yeah ariake

I dont think i got anything else

[cunning cave]

Tell me, still waiting for Tartu

[severe pilot]

same

[exotic pollen]

Who are the other ARA currently available and not from gacha ?

[severe pilot]

Benson

[exotic pollen]

Better than ariake?

[severe pilot]

Hazelwood, and Yuggure

nope, if anything they're worse

I guess Yugure also has damage reduction for CVs

[cunning cave]

Ariake is commonly accepted as best easily available ara afaik

[severe pilot]

I don't know why that's the case TBH

[exotic pollen]

How are they obtainable ?

[severe pilot]

Guild Shop

same way as Ariake

[cunning cave]

Idk either but iirc she has the highest torp dmg by a decent margin?

I personally only started using aras after I got Kaza

[severe pilot]

I think that's only because she has the double torp skill

and I'd take the damage reduction from Yuggure over maybe slightly more damage and HP from Ariake

[cunning cave]

Hmm idk depends on the context ig, most of the time you want to use ara I don't think backline dmg matters that much

Tho abyssals with scuffed options might, dunno

[exotic pollen]

ARAs are for opsi, right ?

[severe pilot]

mainly yeah, they have less value in campaign cause you mainly tun mixed fleets and most of the ARAs are just stat sticks

[cunning cave]

OpSi and other bosses like meta ye

And campaign doesn't rly have boss fights tbh

[exotic pollen]

So do i just stick with ariake ?

I dont think a bit more dmg is better than making the main fleet tankier but i'm the newbie here

@cunning cave @severe pilot

[cunning cave]

Idk if your main fleet suffers might as well use Yuugure, in the end I don't think there's much difference between the 2

[severe pilot]

there isn't yeah

just pick one to use until Kazagumo shows up

[cunning cave]

So as I think you started working on Ariake already might as well keep at it

(Can't find her again rn)

[exotic pollen]

👍

Thanks guys
