Will post pictures of my dock soon

I think it's sufficient to just say I don't have NJ and that's about it (and the golds from her respective event, but idk how much those matter here). I also don't have Bismarck Zwei, not built that is, for perhaps obvious reasons, being that she's new. But in case anyone still wanted to see what I've got, I am providing all the ships I have built or I have close to built

14-1 should be pretty easy but I'll still whip out some fleets for ya

red plank
#

Just to confirm, 14-1 is what you want to be doing for cog chip grinding, right?

#

Wanted to get that out of the way in case I am potentially misinformed

red plank

#

could do 13-1 for cog chips
i wouldn't recommend doing 14-1 unless you're all out of cog chips

#

but anyways

red plank
#

Is that because 13-1 would still allow you to bring at least a ship or two for leveling, while 14-1 wouldn't?

#

Sorry for the interruptions

foggy steeple
#

nah you can bring 1~2 ships to level in 14-1

#

u can bring 4-6 ships in 13-1 to lvl

#

How many chips from 13-1 on average, and how many from 14-1?

#

If it's not a large difference, then my original plan was to alternate between 12-4 and 14-1 depending on current needs at any given moment. But maybe I can just lower my consumption of chips overall by lowering how many ships I level and leave it at that

MOB FLEET

MUSASHI UNICORN VOLGA
BREST YUUDACHI SUZUTSUKI/WAKATSUKI

BOSS FLEET

FDG VANGUARD IMPLACABLE
AGIR SHIMAKAZE PLYMOUTH

should easily clear 14-1 for ya

warped dust
#

could easily throw out half the mob fleet and run 3 shitters instead for leveling TBH

foggy steeple
#

13-1 is 2.25 avg cog chips per clear and 14-1 is 2.9

warped dust
#

FDG/Musashi, Unicorn + Volga if you're leveling 3 vanguards or Brest if you're leveling 2 vanguards and a main fleet ship

foggy steeple
#

if you're going the 13-1 route just make sure you've got unicorn and atleast one other CV/L for mob fleet with good fighters and wyverns/breguets equipped
i should mention the UR AA helps but is not necessary

#

and make sure it's at safe

Suzutsuki is a bit of a surprise candidate that I am seeing, was wondering if you could elaborate on her a bit

tribal wharf
#

Swapping Brest and plmmy around is works

foggy steeple
#

just a good DD

#

i was lazy and didn't take a look at all your ships

red plank
#

That's fair. In a nutshell, I have everything except NJ and Bismarck 2

#

For instance, I'm surprised Jervis and the DDG's aren't seeing mentions here

tribal wharf
#

You can use a kazegumo instead of wakat and suzu for more consistency on low ammo mobs

warped dust
#

there's a lot of fleets that work for W14 frankly

foggy steeple
#

I'd mention jervis if you didn't have kronshtadt or brest lol

warped dust
#

so some ships won't get mentioned even if they are good in W14

#

and yeah

#

Jervis is more of a poverty tank option

#

Take whatever works, replace worst most useless ship with something that needs levels. If it works, try replacing the next worst most useless ship. Repeat ad naseum.

red plank
#

The fleet I used to initially clear W14 was Vanguard-Volga-Unicorn + Jervis-Yuudachi-Kronshtadt for mobbing, and Musashi-UvH-Hakuryuu + Agir-Helena-Anchorage for bosses, for reference

#

I know at the very least FdG is going to replace someone there because she apparently makes W14 trivial

fluid crystal
#

Volga and Jervis are obvious candidates

red plank
fluid crystal
#

Fdg instead of vanguard is an upgrade

red plank
#

Meaning she could possibly single handedly take care of ASW needs

warped dust
#

the likes of the CBs, Drake, Plymouth, etc IMO are just more stable tanks

fluid crystal
#

Asw is overrated when unicorn poi exists

tribal wharf
#

Plymouth can solo vanguard if you really want to

topaz folio
#

isnt this for farming 14-1

fading parcel
#

it is

warped dust

#

you just get it to safe with whatever you have, then run like fdg + uni + 4

#

you can drop fdg if you have strong backlines to level

tribal wharf
#

Like Bismark

red plank
#

Based on what's been said so far, then, I thought this up:

FdG-Unicorn-Volga + Brest-Yuudachi-Shimakaze for mobbing
Musashi-UvH-Vanguard + Agir-Helena-Plymouth for bossing

#

Trying to go full power to prepare for a worst case scenario

warped dust
#

yeah no

#

once you get it down to safe start slotting in ships that actually need levels

red plank
#

Will do, once I get it to safe

topaz folio
#

having proper gear is gonna be more important than the ships here

red plank
#

That being, make sure a DD has the Hedgehog in the mobbing fleet, and make sure Unicorn has the plane auxiliaries, I assume

fluid crystal
#

You need chips that badly that you're willing to do 14-1?

red plank
#

Should I do 13-1 instead if I'm not desperate?

onyx atlas
#

likely

red plank
#

I will admit, when you compare 4-6 ships I can level and 2.25 cog chips per clear in 13-1 to 1-2 ships I can level and 2.9 cog chips per clear in 14-1, I don't know if that 0.65 additional cog chips are great to have at the cost of more than double the ships to level

onyx atlas
#

choose more blues and purples instead of SRs

topaz folio
#

ye just stick to 13-1, 14-1 are mostly for ppl with no backlines to level

red plank
#

Not necessarily, I just take whatever ship I like the most that can be leveled. I don't follow fleet tech stat charts or anything

red plank
#

Doesn't nearly describe me

#

But unfortunately that changes my question entirely, from advice for 14-1 fleetmaking to 13-1 fleetmaking

#

Afraid I might've wasted people's time for having this realization only now. Sorry about that

#

no prob, 13-1 you can almost use anybody over lvl 110 if you have unicorn kai carrying you, and a decent anti air and decent damage output boss fleet.
