do I post my dock?

[oblique temple]

yeh do it here let me see what ships and levels you have, might need to swap things up

[plain plover]

oakyokay

im not sure how much I should post

[oblique temple]

LB/level/retrofit Unicorn, you will totally need her for most progression later on

[plain plover]

yea I been working on her

I got her yesterday

same with hood

[oblique temple]

yeh don't think you have enough to clear tactical training or OS past corrosion2

[plain plover]

so for now just focus on retrofit unicorn right?

portland is closers to completing retrofit do I just drop her and focus on unicorn?

[oblique temple]

finish Portland first, Unicorn is going to take a bit longer

[plain plover]

okayokay

[oblique temple]

since you haven't finished LVing and leveling

but yeh in that state just forget about tact training and OS for now, unless you want to just repeat c1 zones

[plain plover]

yea I kinda was late on the news that unicorn is good

thankyou for the help

[oblique temple]

the main problem is quite far behind on LBs too

and probably gearing

[plain plover]

I almost have enough guild points to get another unicorn

or do I get helena

[oblique temple]

bulins are not hard to come by just get Helena

[plain plover]

okayokay

[oblique temple]

you really just need time to level, LB and probably get some gear

[plain plover]

for gears most off the stuff is purple and +6 enhance

yea I started the game like 6 days ago

[oblique temple]

if you can clear ch8-9 comfortably then you can probably start pushing OS, and maybe make a fleet that clears tactical training without much trouble

[plain plover]

so still new to a lot of this

[oblique temple]

it's not so much the colour/rarity of the gear, game has a lot of rubbish gold gear

[plain plover]

Im at world 7 only did 7-1

[oblique temple]

refer to equipment guides if you're not sure

[plain plover]

yea I tried too but it gets really confusing for me

[oblique temple]

a lot of purple pieces are pretty decent poverty pieces you'll use for a long while, a few you'll still be using in lategame

well you can ask what you're not sure of... should be reasonably straightforward

[plain plover]

I can show u the gear I have on my chars

if U want to just give me tips what I should fix

[oblique temple]

sure

[plain plover]

this is the current fleet

I have

[oblique temple]

Hood's main gun is good to get to +10 you'll be using it for a long time

she shouldn't need toolkits do you have any fire control radars or shells

[plain plover]

main gun is the gold plane right?

[plain plover]

ohhh oops

thats york

LOL

I just put whatever on them and enhance to +6

[oblique temple]

these planes are okay to +10

so is this

that should at least improve your firing rates and damage by quite a bit if you have the coins and plates

[plain plover]

idk how u guys can tell the difference between these gears sometimes just from picture

I dont really have much coins

[oblique temple]

can you screenshot your depot your vanguard gear is pretty bad

[plain plover]

it gets used up a lot from limit break

do I screenshot with the equipped on?

or just the stuff I have unequipped

[oblique temple]

enhance this and put on Portland

[plain plover]

I have gear on another fleet too

1 sec ill show

[oblique temple]

or just turn off the equipped filter in depot

it'll list everything including gear on ship

[plain plover]

ahh okay

thats bout it

and gray stuff

idk if its worth screenshoting that

[oblique temple]

nah grey is fine to ignore

[plain plover]

do I enhane it to +6?

[oblique temple]

anyway, try to stay with one fleet, and change the ships to Hood/Unicorn/Saratoga/Portland/Laffey/Marseillaise

yes +6

[plain plover]

ohh

is neno no good?

reno*

[oblique temple]

Reno is kind of meh

and you don't have enough gear to go around for her

give this to Portland

[plain plover]

ohh

whay bout yorktown

[oblique temple]

Yorktown is also meh

give Reno's gun to Marseillaise

[plain plover]

im soo confuse cause other ppl say to use them

cause higher lvl and stuff

1 sec im in a battle thing so it doesnt let me change the gear

[oblique temple]

enhance to +6 and give to Laffey

I don't know people may have just recommended to use her because she's the highest level you had or already MLB or something, but she doesn't age well later on compared to Saratoga

[plain plover]

I see okayokay

[oblique temple]

you can stick with Yorktown for now if taking her out affects your progression too much

[plain plover]

im just finishing up this battle

to do the regearing

[oblique temple]

since you'll need time to get coins and bulins to LB other ships

[plain plover]

ahh yea I lose a lot of coins and stuff if I swap

[oblique temple]

you don't have to swap every ship I mentioned there in a go

[plain plover]

I kinda wasted a lot on renown

and drop her after Lol

[oblique temple]

like Reno can stay for another while, swap her gun to Marseillaise and give the gun I said for Laffey to her first

[plain plover]

okayokay

[oblique temple]

after you done changing ships/regearing show me what you have again, see if there's anything you could still change before you try pushing again

[plain plover]

I waws also thinking of making another fleet

like in the guide

one for mobs

and one for boss

[oblique temple]

don't bother until you're later in

[plain plover]

oh

[oblique temple]

you don't have the resources to raise a second fleet

[plain plover]

cause the guide did it at like wolrd 7

and I was having trouble with it

okayokay

[oblique temple]

you can one-fleet up to around 8 or 9

the guide you were reading probably outdated

the problem is raising 2 fleets in parallel needs significant amount of XP, gearing or resources in general which you don't have

[plain plover]

it was the one with the tierlist I think

[oblique temple]

you can barely even gear 1 fleet now the second fleet is useless if going in naked

[plain plover]

yea I kinda wasted sooo much exp packs on chars I dont use anymore lol

[oblique temple]

the earlier chapters on that guide are quite old, don't really work as well nowadays

[plain plover]

I see noted

is everything else fine for the gear besides the changes u mention

[oblique temple]

you don't need sonar
Marseillaise and Reno should each have at least one piece of HP gear if you can't afford more

how many gear boxes do you have unopened

[plain plover]

I got a few today

[oblique temple]

yeh just open them

[plain plover]

okay

[oblique temple]

just don't open blue and below

[plain plover]

yea

I learned that the hard way

[oblique temple]

if you get any fire radars or shells give to Hood

[plain plover]

u can just craft the better box

[oblique temple]

if not that blue fire radar you have will do, along maybe one of the autoloaders

[plain plover]

ehhh idk what any of these are tbh lol

do u have a picture

[oblique temple]

just open and show me what you got from the boxes first

[oblique temple]

the gold AA gun is good but not something you need to worry about for now

[plain plover]

thats all of it

[oblique temple]

gold barracuda if you can enhance to +6 or better replace any of the purple ones you're using now

purple catapult replace the bulge you have on Unicorn

[plain plover]

1 sec doing the ones u mention earlier

[oblique temple]

purple toolkit enhance and use on one of Reno/Marseillaise, you should have another one taken off from Portland for each of them

[plain plover]

okay I did the reno/marsei gun swap and for portland

what else am Im missing im lost

[oblique temple]

lol

just screenshot again I'll check what's missing

[plain plover]

Im like scrolling up and getting lost and confuse

XD

[oblique temple]

yeh there's quite a bit

[oblique temple]

give one of these to Marseillaise, replace the sonar

the slot on Portland replace with camo

[plain plover]

whats sonar

[plain plover]

okayokay

[oblique temple]

on Reno replace this with the purple toolkit yout got just now from box

[plain plover]

naval camo right?

and +6 it

[oblique temple]

yes

[plain plover]

okok

okay done

with the front chars

[oblique temple]

replace this with the gold one you got just now if you can enhance to +6

on Yorktown

[plain plover]

[oblique temple]

on Unicorn this replace with the purple catapult you just got

[plain plover]

btw does enhance all cost the same

[oblique temple]

higher tiers cost more, higher rarity cost more

[plain plover]

ahh okay

I havent really notice

[oblique temple]

if you're out of coins let me know some of the gear you can just scrap honestly

[plain plover]

okay I did the upgrades on unicorn and york

also I was thinking of

replacing york with enterpise

cause I did 7-1

and waiting for rookie mission to finish

[oblique temple]

give to Hood if you're not using Amagi

[plain plover]

yea the other fleet I dropped

cause u said focus on one for now

[oblique temple]

the other aux slot give her the blue fire radar

[plain plover]

is there a good guide for gearing that isnt overwhelming ? xD

[oblique temple]

it's not that hard once you get around to recognizing the pieces of gear you'll actually use, it's not that many

[plain plover]

what blue fire radar?

SG radar?

[oblique temple]

the one you just took from Amagi to Hood, but blue background and +6

saw one in your depot

[plain plover]

ahh okayokay

done

so what are ur thoughts on enterprise

replacing york for her when I get

[oblique temple]

get these to +10 if you can, otherwise just keep rolling and LB/retrofitting the ships as you go

[plain plover]

okayokay

[oblique temple]

Enterprise is a bossing CV mostly she can replace Yorktown but not a real priority

[plain plover]

I think ill get retrofit first for portland then get +10 on that then

[oblique temple]

you'll need to level and LB her as well, and SRs aren't cheap

[plain plover]

oh shes like for a bossing fleet?

[oblique temple]

if you have spare coins and gold bulins you should LB Hood first anyway

[plain plover]

alright

its fine to pick her for the free sr reward right?

the 7-1 rookie quest

[oblique temple]

multiple partially LB'd ships are more often than not less useful than a single MLB'd one

yeh Enterprise stays useful for later in the game, just not much point to work on her yet for you for now

[plain plover]

do u know what else is on the free sr ship

for 7-1 complete

[oblique temple]

newbie missions reward selection is Hood Enterprise Illustrious and San Diego off the top of my head

[plain plover]

cause Im not tooo sure what I pick aside from enterprise, heard her a lot in this channel

[oblique temple]

we usually recommend either Hood or Enterprise

[plain plover]

ahj okay ill just stick to enterprise then

I have hood already

[oblique temple]

yeh

[plain plover]

thankyou very much for the help

[oblique temple]

it'll take a while to "catchup" on all the coins and bulins you already misspent but those ships should get you through ch8 fine as you level up more and retrofit

[plain plover]

im also guessing when I have laffey stronger I just replace and move all the gear from reno right?

[oblique temple]

can bother about replacing ships when you can actually afford to

Laffey will need to be MLB'd and retrofitted anyway

[plain plover]

ahh okayokay

sooo it will just take time

[oblique temple]

some of the newbie missions tied to her (or any of the starter DDs)

[plain plover]

oh

yea I did a few

almost complete with it

just some of them is time gated

like certain daily missions

that are only up at a certain day

[oblique temple]

yeh those take a while

but the higher ones will need Portland and one of the starter DDs retrofitted and also leveled

so... when you get there

[plain plover]

noted

@oblique temple would it be better to just keep doing the event farming

or main campaign progression

im 7-2 rightnow wwith the campaign

[oblique temple]

ehhh try taking a shot at C1, if you can manage it push as far you can with it

[plain plover]

I tried C1

I think earlier

failed cause out of time

at boss

[oblique temple]

well you just regeared

[plain plover]

oh wait no

im on

C3

rightnoww

need to try it

I think I can clear

[oblique temple]

I don't think you can manage D1 just yet so repeat what you can of C2 or C3 and level there

[plain plover]

okayokay

tyty

on the pinned it said

C2 is the best to spam

if u cant do D stages right?

[oblique temple]

C2 is better because it's 1 fight less than C3

you can onefleet it much more easily

[plain plover]

ohh

ill stick to c2 after

clearing c3 then

[oblique temple]

I don't think C3 gives enough points to offset the extra cost of the one more fight but either way

[plain plover]

does the sr drop in

C stages or its just D

I got a few of pain already but its just nice having more dupes ig

[edgy flicker]

almost 100% sure she only drops from boss node in d3, but you can buy up to 5 copies in the event shop for 8,000 event currency

[oblique temple]

I'm guessing he just got lucky with build

there's no way he could have farmed enough points to get multiple copies of her by this point
