Fleet help

I can’t post a pic of my ships

There we go. I’m only at 3-1. I don’t really seem to have many synergies that I know of

Except Indy and Portland. What’s a better combo from what’s in pic? I’m sure I’m wasting time and effort with ships that don’t mesh

[raw ocean]

have you tried /guide on #bot-spam and read riceist newbie guide

[grizzled vortex]

Essentially copy this for your early game needs

also Indy + Portland is a very terrible combo by virtue of Indy being tragically garbage

[simple lotus]

That’s half the issue. I’ve read a few guides and watched YT vids but I don’t seem to have many ships that are listed as being decent

[slow lotus]

but with javelin

[grizzled vortex]

and if you can, get Rikka either from the event banner or from the selector ticket and also her gear from the shop, she's cracked af

[slow lotus]

ye, yt vids suck

[dusty kernel]

They have hood so no need for penny

Also fyi z23 here is a stand-in for whatever starter destroyer you chose

[simple lotus]

Javelin has been a mainstay.

[dusty kernel]

So javelin/laffey/z23

ayanami for JP

[simple lotus]

Oddly I don’t have many of any Sakura ships at all.

[grizzled vortex]

that doesnt really matter outside of tech points for research ships

[simple lotus]

Is it better with two Bb and one CV or two CV and one BB?

[dusty kernel]

You can get helena from guild shop

[grizzled vortex]

I generally went with 1 BB 2 CV

[simple lotus]

I’ve seen that. That’s on my todo list

[dusty kernel]

Should be the same for Portland?

[simple lotus]

I’ve gotten a few SSRs but not sure they’re all worth investing in. And I’m not level 30 yet so can’t research for better stuff

Thank you for the info. I’m learning but it’s a slow pace. I’m an oddball that im@more into the technical stuff than mich of the rest of the game. Planes in particular

[dusty kernel]

Don’t go monkey brain wants gold on SRs, every ship needs to be at max limit break to reach their full potential (sometimes more is needed)

[simple lotus]

Much. Damn

[dusty kernel]

Rares and elites are good sometimes, use them

[simple lotus]

Chicago keeps being an mvp and doesn’t even have the best gear. So yeah I can see that

[grizzled vortex]

-Sandy has good damage (Post retro) and AA but cheaper options exist for her AA role
-Hood is pretty damn good, esp with her unique augment
-Warspite is heavily powercrept, with a modern SR BB being better than her retro
-JdA is mainly niche for late game content
-Illustrious is fine ig but she doesnt have any good late game use
-Eugen is a brick meme, she's just all bulk and pratically no damage

Also Limit break any ships you're using asap

out of the SRs you have, Hood has the highest priority for those bullins

[simple lotus]

I only discovered that today and it’s my first goal

[dusty kernel]

Use a single fleet for now - you can start building a second fleet in world 9

Well, chapter 9

Level advantage is massive and all that

[simple lotus]

Makes sense. I’ve been trying to have a “clear” fleet and a “boss” fleet. Not really working

[dusty kernel]

Also, SRs are gold rarity in EN, SSR is JP or CN I forget

[high bobcat]

its called mob and boss, u dont need that yet

[simple lotus]

Again thank y’all for the advice. I’ll be back regularly to learn more. Game goes way deeper than I first thought

Many gph addicts here so
