it gets really confusing for me with all of the diff ships and stuff

untold wing
#

Also if you have the coin you really should be limit breaking your ships

crisp violet
#

im not sure if i can afford that but ill see

#

i mean i already have one

crisp violet
#

i have helena in mind

bright gyro
#

Minustrian Dock

crisp violet
#

since ive heard shes insanley good

untold wing
#

Ah nvm missed her

unkempt rapids
#

Raise Unicorn. Your life will be a lot easier.

untold wing
#

I would probably rush unicorn asap here. And helena is a debuffer

toxic sparrow
#

honoka, enty, unicorn, portland, helena, laffey

crisp violet
#

what does unicorn do?

toxic sparrow
#

heal a ton

unkempt rapids
#

Heal

crisp violet
#

ah i see

untold wing
#

Healer and damage dealer (preload) extraordinaire (well she will get many mvps for mob fights

toxic sparrow
crisp violet
#

also how good is honoka, shes my favorite and i tried looking it up but i cant find anything

toxic sparrow
#

honoka is average iirc

crisp violet
#

also what does this promise ring do that i got from a quest

untold wing
#

Limited item, save it and think about it later

crisp violet
#

k

toxic sparrow
#

lets u marry a ship, oathing gives 6% stats and unlocks oath skin that some ships have

untold wing
#

It’s a perm stat increase but p much a real cash item only

crisp violet
toxic sparrow
#

do it for waifu though

crisp violet
#

honoka doesnt have an oath skin from what im seeing 😭

untold wing
#

You only get them via very rare events so the source is mostly real in game purchases

crisp violet
unkempt rapids
#

No collab ship has oath skin

crisp violet
#

oh

#

thats a let down

untold wing
#

Few ships have an oath skin in the first place

#

Actually lb your Helena once, you don’t want to waste exp

#

Are you at world 5-6?

crisp violet
#

yeah

#

i am

untold wing
crisp violet
#

yeah i just put it in now

#

now i need to gear them up with weapons

#

lemme just screenshot my depot ig

untold wing
#

Have you looked at the ectl?

#

There are gear recs there

crisp violet
#

ectl?

unkempt rapids
crisp violet
#

alright how does this work

unkempt rapids
#

Select the ship

crisp violet
#

where?

untold wing
#

Select the ship hull first

crisp violet
#

where tho

#

it doesnt show anything on this screen im at

untold wing
crisp violet
#

just says no active event

untold wing
#

Then press on the ship you’re interested in

#

Scroll down you nincompoop

crisp violet
#

OH

#

im dumb

untold wing
#

Anyways gear recs there are good for campaign do use those

crisp violet
#

k

#

working on that rn

untold wing
#

If you’re just starting you might not have even the cheapest stuff there, but you can ask if that happens

#

Try to use +6 gear at minimum

crisp violet
#

i have quite a few of the things listed on the helena page

#

also how does the crafting work, is it just like say for the steering gear, to make the gold version, i need 25 of the purple version?

untold wing
#

So there are… roughly three ways to grind gears I guess

crisp violet
#

k

untold wing
#

One,farming equipment blueprints in maps that drop them 2) accumulating ship blueprints via the research academy system 3) operation siren gear lab

crisp violet
#

whats operation siren?

reef drift
#

something you can skip until at least commander lv 40 60 (my bad)

untold wing
#

There are also gear boxes you can acquire through many sources, and sometimes you can buy gear individually from events

crisp violet
untold wing
#

Opsi is a lv60 thing

reef drift
#

oh yeah lv60 my bad

untold wing
#

Not 40. You’ll also struggle when you unlock it

#

Anyways ignore that for now. Just meant to say diff gear will have diff sources

#

Early game much of your gear will be from hm gear boxes and maybe farming some purple gear in campaign maps

#

Gold gear is much too slow to farm via campaign

#

Research lab and operation siren are where you get much of your endgame gear

crisp violet
#

for AA guns on the ectl thing, if i dont have it do i just use the one with the highest AA stat?

reef drift
#

yeah always craft to purple box before opening
(only exception being iris box since it has only blue)

untold wing
crisp violet
reef drift
crisp violet
#

id use the one on helena but im also using helena so i cant just yoink it off her

#

or is laffey higher priority for these things?

untold wing
#

Give your best aa gun to whomever has the highest aa stat I suppose. There’s like some rules to this that make it more complicated but eh later

crisp violet
#

k

#

well helena has my best aa so ig ill just use the free AA gun i have on laffey

unkempt rapids
#

AA doesn't matter until world 12

crisp violet
#

ic

#

ty

untold wing
#

The quadruple bofors and the 113 are worth using

#

The rest are not

reef drift
#

113 is also called roomba (since it looks like one)

crisp violet
#

lmao i see that

#

what are the quadruple bofors?

#

i dont see any in my free ones

reef drift
untold wing
#

Quadruple

crisp violet
#

oh

#

well thats taken ig so ill just have to be on the lookout for another

reef drift
#

purple version of it works fine as transitional

crisp violet
#

k

#

ill see if i have one

#

i do not

#

i have a free twin 105 mm sk c/33 aa gun

untold wing
#

Aa isn’t a priority till later worlds

reef drift
#

yeah no need to worry much about AA

crisp violet
#

would i wanna use the awakening pearl on honoka over the other things listed here on ectl?

unkempt rapids
#

What pearl?

crisp violet
#

also for skills for this formation which skills on who should be prioritized?

reef drift
#

i suppose its serviceable for her as a battleship
but generally i'd rather go with shells and/or fire control radar

crisp violet
#

k

#

lucky me i have a fire control radar

#

also whats this retrofit option

reef drift
#

retrofit is upgrades

image.png
crisp violet
#

are retrofits worth it?

#

or just endgame things or just skip it entirely

reef drift
#

for some ships retrofits greatly enhances their use case (e.g. Unicorn, Helena and Independence)

crisp violet
#

oo

reef drift
#

priortise Unicorn retrofit is a good idea

crisp violet
#

k

#

also in the fight theres like these little meters next to enterprise and unicorn

#

what do these mean?

reef drift
crisp violet
#

wait is it the detection line or gauge-

reef drift
#

detection gauge

image.png
crisp violet
#

ah i see

#

ty

#

how come my honoka doesnt have one

reef drift
#

only applicable to carriers

crisp violet
#

why carriers only?

reef drift
#

because battleships are too big to hide

crisp violet
#

makes sense

reef drift
#

anyway cv detection line is off by defult iirc

image.png
crisp violet
#

should i go for special banner or heavy banner or light banner

#

since i have some wisdom cubes rn

reef drift
#

save

#

pull light x 1 daily thats it (since you get back via daily mission)

crisp violet
#

what about the cubes i get for beating new stages from the questline?

reef drift
#

save

crisp violet
#

k

#

ill keep that in mind

reef drift
#

you'll need 400 cubes (and lots of coin) to guarantee an UR ship (pity / worst luck scenario)
trust me i've done pities back to back and it sucks

crisp violet
#

oh

#

then i mustve gotten really lucky iwth my honoka and tamaki

reef drift
#

so its always good idea to save for UR event yes
once you have reached that minimum for pity, then pull whatever

#

but yes save is good

crisp violet
#

which retrofit for unicorn should i go for first?

reef drift
#

whaling for coin / cubes is a lousy idea + not worthwhile

crisp violet
#

yeah ive heard this game is very f2p friendly

reef drift
#

i suppose just go horizontal first
but eventually you will be required to retrofit everything

image.png
crisp violet
#

i plan on doing it all

#

i just dont know which to do first

#

also whats the best source of coins since uh im going a bit broke, my usual thing is just do the thing and get the coins from the limit thing at the top of my thing next to rookie missions

reef drift
#

keep pushing campaign until at least w9

crisp violet
#

k

reef drift
#

w9 and onwards is where you have oilcaps

#

/oilcap

crisp violet
#

oilcaps?

reef drift
#

oh wait - do it in #bot-spam lol

crisp violet
#

oh

#

thats really useful

#

oh and for the acadmy]

#

whos skills do i prioritize

#

and in the prototype shop how do i get the blue currencies

reef drift
#

probably unicorn's heal, then combat skills / buffs

crisp violet
#

alright

#

any in particular for this team?

reef drift
crisp violet
#

yes

#

currently helena and unicorn are in

reef drift
#

Enty : Lucky E
Unicorn + retrofit her asap : heal, then the other skill
Portland + can retrofit, serves as good tank until at least w13 : Defense order only (ignore best sister)

crisp violet
reef drift
#

get it to max

#

Helena can wait

crisp violet
#

k

#

alright in 8 hours level 8 lucky will be acquired

reef drift
#

continue on Helena only when retrofitted

crisp violet
#

then i can get level 10 with the daily free finishes

#

k

#

wait so do i finish retroing uni or helena first?

reef drift
#

Then work on Honoka , and Laffey
Laffey is also decent when retrofitted. Her augment is nice but does not come cheap

#

uni first

crisp violet
#

k

reef drift
#

i'd retro uni > portland > laff = helena

crisp violet
#

k

#

also for 3 starring these levels

#

should i do it as i go or come back to it later?

reef drift
#

no hurry to 3*

crisp violet
#

k

#

since i see a ton of gem quests for 3 starring things

#

also is it worth to buy cubes with gems?

reef drift
#

you'll get them down eventually

No. Not worthwhile to buy cubes with gems

crisp violet
#

k

crisp violet
#

enterprise lucky e, then unicorn healing, then unicorn 2nd skill, then portland defense order only

#

dont mind this i just need somewhere to remember this

reef drift
#

work on the others after doing those yup

crisp violet
#

k

#

i think i have a basic understanding on these things

#

only confusion left i just pr ships

#

but i think if i assumed correctly

#

i just do the funny missions and get waifu ship

reef drift
#

research ships can wait

crisp violet
reef drift
crisp violet
#

alright ill see if i can try to make sense of this wiki

#

oh rip

reef drift
#

it is suggested to try to get KMS (ironblood) tech to get FDG
but that is no rush as well.. takes a lot of time and resources yeah

crisp violet
#

i got saint louis first

#

eh it shouldnt be that big of a deal

#

ill just get monarch after her

#

oh yeah

#

in the main channel they told me when im done rushing to wl9 rush to wl12

#

is there something that happens at wl9 that i dont know about

reef drift
#

w9 onwards is where you can start farming runs
but as your fleet gets stronger ,
w12 is a good aim since you'll be able to farm things like cogs and augment materials (pitiful amounts but beats none)

crisp violet
#

what are farming runs

reef drift
#

basically just grinding same stages

crisp violet
#

oh

#

what are cogs

reef drift
#

from lv100 to lv120 : cog chips
from lv120 to lv125 (current max cap) cog arrays

crisp violet
#

oh cognitive chips

#

also love the highlighter and very useful red circle

#

oh yeah something that has confused me for a while

#

what do the triangles when doing the ship thingy in a level mean?

reef drift
#

triangle?

crisp violet
#

yeah

#

sometimes looks like a triforce

reef drift
#

err screenshot?

crisp violet
#

k

#

gimmie a min

reef drift
#

iirc means how difficult / many enemies to fight
one triangle least enemies
triforce most enemies

crisp violet
#

ok

#

ty

crisp violet
#

what vnaguard ship can i swap so i can put in an eagle union one
