Pushing into ch14 and just wanted some tips for vanguard mostly and strategy

#

#

And then my gold dds. Idk if I'd need to lvl any with my lineup

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:14 AM

#

for mob: plymouth main tank (prefer 6 star, but level 125 dev 25 also works), harbin, yuudachi
for boss: aegir shimakaze anchorage

#

14-3 and 14-4 mob needs asw, hedgehog on yuudachi and at least one asw plane on unicorn or purple depth charge on harbin

#

many things work, you could also use drake or azuma as mob main tank, kazagumo in mob, or drake or azuma instead of shimakaze

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:20 AM

#

lilac hollow for mob: plymouth main tank (prefer 6 star, but level 125 dev 25 also works), ha...

Plym is only dev 20 and likely going to be for awhile

#

Sp prob just drake then

#

So no need to lvl the 2 newest dds?

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:22 AM

#

chapter 14 has been around for almost 2 years before those dds were released

#

and they're not optimal

#

i think yuudachi, dev 25 ply, harbin are all better than them for chapter 14

#

and in general

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:25 AM

#

And for backline. I was thinking biz uni Aquila for mob. NJ enti avp

#

For boss

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:26 AM

#

bisz aquila is a bit weak relative to the best, which is
fdg/musashi plus unicorn plus good CV

#

~~i suppose at least bisz can take certificate for out of ammo~~

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:28 AM

#

I can do fdg

#

What cv would you recommend

#

My brain just defaults Aquila normally for mobbing

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:30 AM

#

chkalov, volga, shinano, any rainbow, aquila, ~~maybe saratoga augment?~~

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:30 AM

#

Prob shinano then

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:32 AM

#

it's very important to stagger main fleet damage in both mob and boss chapter 14

#

so for example 457mm fdg, and unicorn faster than shinano

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:33 AM

#

457 over NJ gun?

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:34 AM

#

NJ gun is rarely the best

#

14-3 and 14-4 also have a lot of dangerous heavy armor enemies, so AP is good

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:36 AM

#

Okay. I've got 3 wyverns. 2-3bps from a second tenrai

#

Should I be looking at bf109s or the new rocket fighter? Or go with standard

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:38 AM

#

standard 2x1000 lb fighters is safer

#

rockets require you to try and adjust timing until they shoot the right things

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

Ummm so if I am staggering boss damage to should I even bother with avp?

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:41 AM

#

avp isn't good for campaign

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:41 AM

#

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:41 AM

#

what's the BB

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:42 AM

#

And should I worry about converging for boss?

#

Or focus more on the mobs before it?

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:43 AM

#

the most you could do with convergings is put one converging TB on a slot with 2 or 3 planes, and fill the rest with wyverns

#

could do bisz haku implacable, or actually use aquila in mob and bisz shinano haku for boss

#

implacable would be freezing for only herself

#

so boss is bisz + haku + one of (shinano implac NJ)

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:49 AM

#

Another 457?

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:50 AM

#

if you have it

#

because champ gun with afct or hsfcr also works

#

14-3 boss is light armor though

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 5:57 AM

#

I usually don't use this many carries without converging. What's the best parallel non wyvern

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 5:58 AM

#

dive bomber if the slot allows, else skypirate or vit-2

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:04 AM

#

#

Couldn't find new biz

#

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

aquila should have double fighter because preload isn't great in chapter 14 and the only point of aquila here is to heal

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

Oki

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:06 AM

#

if that makes her too close to unicorn, give uni a beacon

#

shinano and haku are too close, swap haku flapjack with aquila tigercat, give haku a saiun for the third slot, and give the free tenrai to replace shinano's xsb3c

#

and might need to still give haku a beacon

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:08 AM

#

Oh yeah I didn't notice it Calc time

#

About .6 second diff without the beacon

#

On shinano haku

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:12 AM

#

HakuCry a bit close

#

maybe give shinano

#

's first slot the xsb3c actually

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:15 AM

#

1.1

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:15 AM

#

decent enough with beacon

#

there's also the new avimanjuu that can make shinano slower, but don't worry if you can't afford it

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:16 AM

#

#

Where is it?

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:16 AM

#

core shop

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:16 AM

#

I forgot about it tbh assumed it would be in ladder

#

Okay

#

I'm not sure if I have any other good fighters

#

I'd have to check

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:19 AM

#

this is fine

#

put scepter for all carriers and officer's sword for all BBs

#

for the eva stat

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:20 AM

#

I have a sea hornet

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:20 AM

#

that can go on unicorn, and the flapjack go to aquila replacing hellcat

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:21 AM

#

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:21 AM

#

14-1 is easy, 14-2 boss is the first hard thing

#

lighthouse is ok, but never pick up flares

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:22 AM

#

Sounds good

#

And swap champy gun for NJ on 14-3?

#

Do you think this would be able to auto or don't risk it

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:24 AM

#

auto but watch the battle and quit if needed

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:29 AM

#

Oh what asw plane should I run

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:29 AM

#

purple tbm avenger, it is in eagle union gear lab

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:30 AM

#

I have 1 rainbow dd gun rn it's on harbin

#

Harbin gun good for yuudachi?

#

And does Harbin usually scale better with oxy or fp?

#

Lol

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:32 AM

#

why do you ask about oxy vs fp? I hope it's not for chapter 14

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:32 AM

#

Double defensive then?

#

Just in general

#

Tho

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:33 AM

#

your vanguards should be running zero offensives in chapter 14 except for asw

#

in general, if harbin isn't dying, 100 trp and 25 or 30 fp are about the same probably, idk

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:33 AM

#

Okay. For opsi I've been running both

#

Fumo and oxy

#

That's why I asked

#

#

Updated with vanguard

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:43 AM

#

sword for harbin, beaver for aegir instead of that...treaty?

#

swap shimakaze and drake AA guns

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:44 AM

#

I thought Eva hit was good for her

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:44 AM

#

more eva is better than eva hit

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:45 AM

#

Okay

#

I have enough stags for both

#

Just wasn't sure If Shima wanted one

lilac hollow Jul 10, 2023, 6:46 AM

#

shima's torps are for manual if you want to manual the boss. Otherwise, use gold quad mag too

clever shore Jul 10, 2023, 6:46 AM

#

Kk

Thanks for all the help
